351: Lost 90 Pounds, Found Calm Jun 22, 2017

Show notes

I could have called this episode so many different things. I could have called it "Lifestyle Transformation After Baby". I could have called it "When You Should NOT Workout". I could have called it "Learning To Be Calm As A Fat Loss Strategy". I should probably just keep it simple and call it awesome.

In today's episode I'm talking with one of my Fat Loss Fast Track clients who has lost 90 pounds, 40 of which has been in the last few months of her Fat Loss Fast Track experiences.

At first, we talk a lot about what has worked well for her. We talk about how learning to be less reactive and more calm has helped her weight loss but also her happiness.

Then we start to talk about exercise, sleep and when to push yourself.

Not only is she inspiring, she's incredibly wise and I know you're going to get so much out of her story!

350: Identifying & Solving The REAL Problem Jun 20, 2017

Show notes

Too often, we scramble for solutions without taking the time to really define and understand the problem. That leads to lots of effort with little results. We either solving the wrong problem or implementing the wrong solution, or both. It's a waste of time & a fast track to frustration.

Today's episode features a candid conversation with one of my Masters Club clients. Prior to her time in the Fat Loss Fast Track, she was always on a diet. She felt like her only weight loss strategy was "eat less" and she was exhausted by it.

Though she developed a solid strategy that worked for her, she struggled to make consistent positive choices after having a baby and juggling life, marriage & motherhood.

Through the course of our convo we define the problem, toss around potential solutions and determine a course of action to help her learn more about what works for her and get back to feeling her very best.

349: Success Cycles Jun 17, 2017

Show notes

I'm so excited to have one of my Fat Loss Fast Track clients on the show today. She's in the trenches of creating lasting change and refining what works best for her body & lifestyle.

After feeling great about her first 12 weeks in the Fat Loss Fast Track, she struggled with enthusiasm, engagement & consistency in the second 12-weeks.

She talks candidly about cycles of success and how she's fighting back to recreate momentum.

I think it's powerful to see & hear what strategies work for people and how they overcome obstacles. Today's episode is a great example.

348: Your Lies Become Your Truth Jun 15, 2017

Show notes

Be careful. Your lies will become your truth. The messages we send to ourselves via our thoughts & words become our reality. They are powerful.

Your thoughts & words are not only descriptive but also prescriptive. They are instructions to your subconscious & they inform your behavior.

If you're saying that you're out of control and have no motivation, that will become your truth, whether you want it to or not.

If you struggle with doubt or negativity, don't miss today's episode!

347: 5 Lessons For Success Beyond Fat Loss Jun 13, 2017

Show notes

I had a busy weekend, full of lessons, many of which came from my first time on a bike in God knows how many years.

Saturday, I ate lots of treats (for me) and several alcoholic beverages. Sunday, I ate really clean & biked around Martha's Vineyard.

On both days, I was reminded of powerful lessons that help me break through my mental barriers, make progress towards my goals and take great care of myself.

In today's episode, I'm sharing 5 of those real-life lessons with you! I hope you enjoy them!

346: Stop Creating Chaos Jun 10, 2017

Show notes

You might not see it this way, but chances are, you're creating chaos in your life.

Often, we turn to food & alcohol in response to stress, emotion, tension or anxiety. Food allows us to escape, avoid & numb whatever is bothering us.

Then, we turn our attention to an attempt to NOT eat or drink in response to these feelings.

However, that's like trying to lower a fever with ice instead of addressing & resolving what's causing the fever.

In today's episode I will share what I wish I knew when I was younger about emotional reactions that contributed to overeating, binging and obesity.

345: Stress Incontinence Solutions Jun 08, 2017

Show notes

The other day I overheard a conversation between two women at the gym. One woman was complaining to the other about her stress incontinence, or, as she described it, leaking urine during her workout.

The other woman shared that she has the same problem and they attributed it to having kids and talked about how there was no solution other than surgery.

That's not true.

In today's episode, I'm talking not only about stress incontinence but about how we ignore problems instead of fixing them. That has got to stop.

We power through workouts without regard to what is happening with our bodies. We do nothing about aches, pains, incontinence, headaches and other symptoms instead of looking to identify & resolve the underlying issue.

Whether you workout or not, whether you experience stress incontinence or not, I strongly recommend you listen to this episode, and to your body.

344: 6 Critical Factors To Crush Your Goals Jun 06, 2017

Show notes

A couple weeks ago I went up to Albany, NY to watch one of the CrossFit regional competitions. All of the athletes were highly skilled and wanted to win. However, being highly skilled and wanting to win wasn't enough.

As I watched the competition, I paid close attention to factors that made athletes struggle & falter as well as common factors that set athletes up for success.

In today's podcast, I'm sharing with you 6 critical strategies that will help you crush your goals based on what I observed at the regionals.

We all want something, but that doesn't mean we consistently do the work to stay focused and achieve our desired outcome. Today's episode will help you crush your goals and move from wanting to win to actually winning.

343: What Drives Your Choices? Jun 03, 2017

Show notes

Please do not confuse thoughts with emotions. Many people think that it's our emotions, our feelings, that drive our choices.

It's not.

It's our THOUGHTS. Sure, it can be our thoughts about what we feel, or it can just be thoughts without emotional ties.

If you want to change the choices you make, you've first got to understand the thoughts that drive them, both good & bad.

You have to be willing to surrender this hyper focus on tactic. If you aren't consistently making the kinds of choices you want it, it's not because you've yet to find the right program, meal plan or calorie allotment.

It's because of the way you think prior to making a choice.

Today I'm going to help you discover the thoughts that are helping you, the thoughts that are hurting you and what you can do about it.

342: Sunshine & Your Hormones Jun 01, 2017

Show notes

Can sun exposure increase your metabolism? Can it help you burn fat more efficiently?

The answer is yes. In today's episode we're going into the science of sun, your skin & hormones to look at how moderate sun exposure can minimize cravings, reduce inflammation, increase energy and support your metabolism & ability to burn fat.

I know our society talks about the dangers of the sun and tells us all to put on sunscreen before we talk to the mailbox but here's the reality: sun burn is bad, the sun is not.

There are many health benefits of sun exposure beyond vitamin D and we'll be talking about them today!
