7 Things That Will Boost Your Self Esteem Sep 22, 2022

Show notes

Did you know you have THREE different selves? That's right, THREE! The first type of self is your ideal self. This is the type of person that you want to become. The second type of self is your actual self. This is who you really are as a person. The third type of self is your perceived self. This is how you view yourself or who you think you are. Studies have shown that our third self that really dictates our lives. How we view ourselves changes how we live our lives and how we interact with the world. But unfortunately, most of us don't perceive ourselves in a good light. Here are some shocking stats…

90% of women wish they could change at least one thing about their physical appearance.
81% of 10-12 year-old girls are scared to be considered fat.
1 out of 4 women, in the 16-20 year old women group, suffer from an eating disorder.
Only 2% of women consider they are beautiful.

These stats PROVE why it's so important for us to work on our self esteem. That's why in this episode of the Embrace Your Real podcast, I'm going to share some simple ways to start boosting your self esteem.

13 Ways to Make Moving Your Body Consistently EASY Part 2 Sep 19, 2022

Show notes

Welcome back to 13 ways to make moving your body consistently EASY part 2, if you haven't yet listen to part 1 I highly recommend going back and listening to that episode either before or after this one. Moving your body consistently can be hard — whether you're just not motivated or you don't have the energy, or life just feels way to busy. Whatever the reason may be, I have a BUNCH of ways to help you make it easier. In part 1, I discussed:

Finding movement you love doing
Creating a schedule.
Treating your workouts like appointments or work meetings.
Having a plan.
Setting yourself up for success.
Having a back up plan

Okay let's dive in to part 2:

Don't overcommit

Be realistic about what you can actually do weekly and daily. Don't set an expectation for yourself to workout 6 days a week for 60 minutes if you haven't been working out at all.

Be open minded about movement.

Movement isn't just going to the gym, movement can mean ANYTHING and honoring your body with any kind of movement daily will change your relationship with fitness!

Find a way to hold yourself accountable.

Get an accountability buddy or a workout partner, or ask your significant other or your best friend to help hold you accountable.

Track your progress

Sometimes we can't see the changes in the mirror every single day and we think we aren't making any progress when if fact, we are making LOTS of progress. That's why I think it's so important to track your progress so you can see that your hard work is in fact paying off.

Track your consistency

See how many days and weeks you can go honoring your body with movement. You're going to become so motivated to not break your streak!

Set specific and actionable goals for yourself

It's also hard to stay consistent when you don't know what you're working towards. So figure out WHAT you are working towards EXACTLY.

Focus on the process not the results.

If you focus on the results ONLY you're going to struggle to see results.

4 Important Reminders For When You Feel Like You Aren't Doing Enough Sep 01, 2022

Show notes

When it comes to building the body we want, we think we aren't doing enough. We think that more is better and the more that we do the better results we will see. So for the woman who thinks she isn't doing enough, I have a few reminders to share with you in this episode of Embrace Your Real. Four Reminders I talked about:

Just because you're not seeing results immediately doesn't mean what you're doing isn't working and you need to do "more" or "change things up".
What other women are doing or did to accomplish the goals you want to achieve is not necessarily the steps you need to follow.
Recognize this self-inflicted pressure and release the valve.
Realize that more is not always better.

How to Keep Yourself Challenged When You Don't Have Access to Other Weights Aug 29, 2022

Show notes

This episode is for the woman who works out at home, doesn't have a bunch of dumbbells and is looking to get a greater challenge from her workout. Because here's the thing: working out regularly is great…but even if you're working out consistently your body will eventually adapt to the weights you're using, thus not increase the demands you are placing on your body which can and will cause a plateau in your results. If investing in heavier weights right away is not in the cards, there are ways to structure your workouts to increase the demands without more weights.

Things I talked about:

Implement to failure
Superset movements
Circuit training
Drop sets
Pyramid sets
Cardio between sets
Add bands
Change the tempo
Shorter rest between sets

7 Steps to Changing Your Life in One Year Aug 25, 2022

Show notes

How do you make a drastic change in your life? How do you get from point a to point b when you feel like there are a million miles between where you are now and where you want to be? How do you even get started? What do you even do?! I get it, when you want to create a huge change in your life, it can feel daunting, scary, and overwhelming. That's why I've put together this 7-step guide to help you navigate these large change you want to make in your life. Remember, this is 7 steps to changing your life in one year and not one month or one week or one day because REAL changes take time and we need to be realistic about how long it actually takes and we need to realize that consistency is so important. If you stick with something consistently for ONE YEAR, you WILL see change and that change WILL last. It is inevitable. So don't give up after one month, that's not enough time, don't give up after 3 months or 5 months, because you're still going to need more time. Focus more on consistency and less on results and one year from now you will be amazed by what you're accomplished.

7 Reasons Why Macro Counting "Doesn't Work" for You Aug 22, 2022

Show notes

Marco counting is what healed my relationship with food. It opened me up to this whole new word where I didn't need to deprive myself of food. I no longer needed to eat as little as possible, avoid my favorite foods, and completely cut food groups out of my daily food intake. I finally stopped feeling confused about WHAT I should and shouldn't be eating, or confused about HOW MUCH I should and shouldn't be eating. I could sit down each day and properly fuel my body without the stress, without wondering if I was "doing it right", without feeling guilty or having to punish myself. If you can relate to any of these feelings, then I highly suggest trying macro counting. But here's the thing: I talk to so many woman who have a poor relationship with food and are constantly dieting and they say, "Macro counting didn't work" for them. Whenever I hear someone say that, I know there needs to be more to the story than the mere fact that macro counting didn't work. So if you, too, feel like macro counting isn't working for you or you are struggling with it now, let me share a few reasons WHY and solutions for each. What I discuss:

You're not being honest with yourself about what you're eating and how much you are eating.
You're not being consistent enough.
You're not giving it enough time.
Your macro goals aren't accurate.
You deprive yourself too much.
You're not cycling through the four phases of macro counting.
You don't listen to your body.
