As we go into a New Year, we may be motivated to make some changes - to reach new goals.But all too often, only a few weeks into the New Year and new habits, we find ourselves completely unmotivated and lacking the “willpower” to maintain some of the habits we’ve created.Are we just doomed to fail?Do we just not have the self control or discipline that others have?Or are we just approaching changes the wrong way?I think it is key we realize one big thing and then implement these 4 tips to help us see results…And that big thing we need to realize is that…SELF CONTROL IS LIKE A GAS TANK!During the day, there are so many things that happen that can deplete it.That’s why the more changes we make at once, and the more dramatic those changes, the more they become harder to implement when other things come up and our tank is already on EMPTY.It’s why we can feel like we just don’t have the willpower of someone else.Because we are trying to force changes that don’t meet us where we are at and cause the gas tank to ha

If you want to lose weight and keep it off for good, you’ve got to face some cold hard facts…As much as we like to just get excited about a new goal when we are motivated and even tell ourselves that it will be “easy,” to help ourselves embrace the change, this actually sabotages our long-term success.Because there will be challenges. And the more we can prepare for them, the better off we will be!#1: You get good at, and used to, what you consistently do.Results come not from what we do every once in awhile, but what we do daily.However, what feels natural is also what we’ve trained our body and mind to see as natural.Often we have to UNLEARN old patterns and habits before we can learn new ones.For example, you may find you can track for a few weeks and then fall off. At some point, you have to push through this hurdle. You have to acknowledge the hard and believe your goals are worth the sacrifice.#2: There is no ideal plan.One size doesn’t fit all.What worked for you before, may not work for you later.Beca

Why do we have ego, take pride, in doing things alone?Why do we fear failing?If we want to succeed, we need to overcome these hurdles. We need to embrace failing faster and embrace an outside perspective.If you're finding yourself fighting against "help," fearing starting something new because you could fail....Here are some questions or perspectives to get out of your own way and even fail faster honestly….#1: Why not ask for help?#2: What pitfalls have others seen when taking on these challenges? Learn from others!#3: Repeat failing isn’t failure…Failure is never taking risk so you never see your full potential.#4: You want to put up a wall against doing it? Then do it more.Learn more about why that coaching, and accountability, may be key.--> Learn MoreThe video version of this episode is live on youtube!

Talking to client - she’s like…“It didn’t get easier this week! You lied!”And I said back, "Did you use a harder variation? Did you finish the workout faster?"She said...“Yes.”"Then it DID get easier."With training, you will ALWAYS feel challenged, because you’ll always be reaching for that next thing.But you’ll see the progression in how far you can run and how fast you do it…or the weights you can lift for more reps…But no…it never FEELS easier.We are just stronger, fitter, faster, more confident…I don’t share this to be negative but I think this delusion that things will at some point be “easy” holds us back…because it makes us ignore how much more we can do…Whether in the gym or other areas of our life.And even habits that do become fully ingrained…well we don’t always want to do them!This isn’t a bad thing either.It’s just a fact.It’s why you…#1: Always want to track progress to truly see progression and not let "feelings" derail you!#2: Focus on tracking all the different w

Travel…the holidays…many of us feel like gaining weight is inevitable.And in the past, it may have been.But you don’t have to feel doomed to gain weight during the holidays or when you travel.You just need to consider some strategies to address the patterns that usually add up.And more importantly, you need to PLAN AHEAD!So what did I do?#1: I stopped to assess prior and plan out options.#2: I focused on doing the minimum and allowing that to build momentum and motivation.#3: I focused on controlling what I could control aka the meals AROUND holiday meals or vacation meals out. Even using more “strict” ratios and calories prior and after.#4: I focused on swaps. Where could I swap things at restaurants. How could I swap things in dishes I was prepping to share.#5: Used fasting strategically.#6: Never felt guilty.#7: Realized too often we emphasize the few holidays or vacation days over focusing on the other 300 some odd days of the year….--The video version of this episode is live on youtube!

Watch Your LanguageHave you ever considered the power of some of the words you use?I know many of us have read and listened to things discussing how important the way we speak to ourselves is…But often that even misses the little words that really change our mindset most.Honestly, the power of words is why I will always say “Act as if” and never fake it till you make it.We don’t realize even sometimes how we are framing things until we see the changes they create.Or realize the mindsets holding us back.The video version of this episode is live on youtube!
