Show notes

You can make progress towards your goals AND indulge. You can enjoy summer or holiday treats without guilt. You can enjoy food AND results.

It's time to let go of the idea of perfection and stop creating drama and guilt over enjoying food.

With that said, summer time & holiday seasons can be a challenging time to embrace improvements and avoid going overboard.

In today's episode we're talking about 5 strategies to create summer success without perfection. These strategies are about YOU and can easily be applied to holidays or any time you feel like you're in a funk and you want to make more progress.

360: Taking Control of Your Life Jul 13, 2017

Show notes

In today's episode I share a conversation with one of my Masters Club clients. When I asked her about the most significant changes she's made in her life, she shared how she's now certain that she is in control of her life. She's in control of her food choices, her physique, her career, finances and much more.

Our discussion centers around a few follow-up questions: did you always feel like you had that control? And: how did you create it? How has that sense of control impacted how you take care of your body?

Specifically, we talked about how she transitioned to feeling limited because of her circumstances to feeling empowered regardless of her circumstances.

Then we got talking about her struggles. She isn't seeing the physical progress she knows she is capable of and she feels like she needs more standards for herself when it comes to food. We quickly got to the root of the problem: eating too much of the "right" things. She's improved the quality of what she's eating, but the quantity is probably a bit much for her goals.

Together, we established a strategy for paying more attention to how much she's eating versus how much she needs to eat.

Don't miss today's conversation!

358: Tackling Excuses, Procrastination & Not Trusting Yourself Jul 08, 2017

Show notes

Excuses, procrastination & not trusting yourself stem from one problem: communication.

We all understand the importance of honest & productive communication with others, but we don't spend much time improving the way we communicate with ourselves. This is a problem.

To overcome excuses, to begin to trust yourself and to get to a point where what you say you'll do actually means something, improve the way you communicate with yourself.

Today we'll talk about how.

357: AMA - Elizabeth Answers Questions Jul 06, 2017

Show notes

The other day on my daily blog I invited you to "ask me anything" and today I'm sharing my answers. Some of the questions are personal in nature - everything from my goals & recent progress to whether or not I have a boyfriend. Others are playful and some are certainly tactical.

I consider you guys family and I love when we can get to know each other better. Today, you'll hear a little bit more about my own journey, my life as well as my thoughts on things like sugar addiction, perfection and working out.

356: Complacency & Rationalization Jul 04, 2017

Show notes

Do you feel like you're a bit complacent? You want more results but you're just not pushing yourself to get those results?

On today's episode I'm talking with one of my clients who has lost 70 lbs and wants to lose more. When I asked about his current challenges & struggles he said, "I've become complacent."

He finds himself rationalizing choices because one treat or indulgence won't really make a big difference in the long run.

Part of this is human nature. Our motivation, if not constantly cultivated, ebbs & flows. Plus, with 70 lbs of weight lost, it's easy to focus on how much you've accomplished and use that to justify throttling back on the effort.

And, we can rationalize & justify pretty much everything.

The problem is: that's not what this client wants. He doesn't want to throttle back. He doesn't want to rationalize & justify. He wants to overcome the complacency. Today, we talk about how.

355: Intensity of Temptation Jul 01, 2017

Show notes

This might be one of my favorite episodes ever. Here's what happened: I got an email from a client who was really struggling. In the heat of a moment of frustration, she wanted to eat.

She was simultaneously making choices that weren't aligned with her goals AND mad at herself that she was still fighting these battles with food.

While bemoaning the ongoing struggle, she chose to turn to food.

She was feeling emotional, overwhelmed and held captive by temptation & surrender.

We went back & forth over email and voice note and when it was all said & done, I asked if I could share our exchange on the podcast. Fortunately for everyone who listens, she said yes.

Don't miss this one.

354: Tackling Food Addiction Jun 29, 2017

Show notes

Are there foods that you feel have more power than you do? Like once you stop with that certain thing, you just can't stop? Do you ever feel like you're addicted to sugar?

I've certainly been there and so has one of my clients, with whom I'm chatting on today's episode.

After losing 100 pounds, she convinced herself that she had been addicted to certain foods and she didn't have the power or self-control to include them in her life. For a time, that perspective really served her. It helped her keep the weight off and consistently make quality food choices.

However, things changed and she realized she wanted to trust that she has far more control than any food, at any time. She wanted to find her own power and move beyond the idea that food was more powerful than she was.

Today we chat about finding your power, overcoming fear and a different approach to the idea of food addiction.

Show notes

Who hasn't seen the sensational headlines over the past couple weeks? Everything from "Coconut Oil Isn't Healthy. It Never Was Healthy" to "The World Just Fell Out of Love with Coconut Oil".

Where did this come from? Is there new research we need to consider? In today's episode we're looking at this coconut oil controversy, where it came from, the science that is referenced and how you can find what works best for your body.

352: Overcoming Doubt & Creating Consistency Jun 24, 2017

Show notes

One of the primary reasons we haven't reached our goals is that we doubt ourselves. It's not the doubt itself that is the problem, but it's the inaction & inconsistency that stems from doubt.

In today's episode I'm talking about why we doubt and how to leave all your past failures, frustrations and missed opportunities behind you so you can create a dramatically different outcome than anything you've had before.

We talk through legitimate hurdles to success like projecting past failures onto future attempts, valuing information over implementation and much more.
