I like to call November and December SURVIVAL MODE when it comes to nutrition and fitness. This is the time of year when most people make excuses as to why they don't have the time to workout or why they don't have the money to eat healthy. I am going to call Bull*&^% right there. I KNOW for a fact that if you have a strong desire and motivation to DO ANYTHING then you will find a way. If you are not highly motivated then you will FIND EXCUSES instead! I hear it all the time. For the last 4 1/2 years of coaching people to reach their health and fitness goals I see excuses, I see people lose motivation and give up, but I do see people that succeed.
The characteristics of successful weight loss are this:
1. A strong driving force or "WHY" to change their nutrition and fitness. You can't just sorta kinda want to change, you have to REALLY WANT TO CHANGE! After the novelty of the new program wears off, what is going to keep you going? It's internal motivation to change more than you want to stay the same!
2. Committed. People that succeed are committed. They are willing to do whatever it takes to be successful and they are not QUITTERS. They are committed to starting and finishing the fitness program exactly as it is laid out and they will evaluate and tweak their program as they go. But, once they go in, they go ALL in!
3. FAITH. People who succeed have faith! They believe that without a shadow of a doubt that somehow, some way, they will be successful at this weight loss game. It's just that, its a series of trials, errors and triumphs before you find what works for your body the best. Those that have faith in the process and believe that I won't lead you astray succeed. It is those people that think its not working fast enough, or that their progress is TOO slow, or that they NEED MORE cardio or MORE protein and start going off and changing things on their own that get frustrated and FAIL. The reason is that they didn't follow the plan! No one knows best than the trainers and nutritionists that create the program what will work. So, don't second guess the program. It was designed for a very specific reason!
4. Successful people follow the nutrition plan. Yes, I know this isn't what you wanted to hear but it's the truth! The people who have the MOST success are those that really do truly follow the nutrition plan laid out in the program. If you aim to eat 80% of the time according to your plan you will get results. If you track your food in a journal, you track your water intake, you allow yourself 1 or 2 treats per week you will make great steady and healthy progress! You can have your cake and eat it too!
I am on a mission this holiday season to keep people ACCOUNTABLE & MOTIVATED to continue their health and fitness journey. This time of year I'm not asking you to go 100% strict but what I am asking you is this.
DO YOU WANT TO END 2015 BETTER THAN YOU STARTED? DO YOU WANT TO MAKE A REVERSE NEW YEARS RESOLUTION???
Did you know that just the simple act of fueling your body with really great nutrient dense food can ALONE boost your energy level and metabolism?
I know for a fact when I do my workout first thing in the morning that I feel more empowered and strong to take on the day! I find when I fuel my body with healthy foods I'm not starving or craving unhealthy snacks.
It did not happen over night but through support, accountability and daily motivation I have changed my entire families life. We have never felt better, our kids are learning great habits and we are not stressed about the holiday season. We are planning a healthy Thanksgiving dinner, some fun get togethers with friends but we are staying accountable to our workouts and we are eating on track 90% of the time. We know that when our treats happen they are earned and they are in moderation! It is truly just a shift in mindset of taking it one day at a time and not getting overwhelmed by the big picture!
So that's the game plan! I feel that it would be super VALUABLE AND HELPFUL to do the same for YOU!!!
Here is what you can expect from this group:
1. A health and fitness program to fit your needs in 30 minutes or less each day.
