Are You Sabotaging Your Weight Loss Efforts? Listen to Kathy’s Story

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Weight loss and fat loss are challenging objectives to achieve and sustain for many people, especially for those who have lost and gained weight. Many people find themselves, consciously or not, sabotaging their weight-loss efforts and/or their weight loss maintenance stage.

On August 6th, 2020, Kathy went to her dentist and he took her blood pressure.  When he read back to her “170 over 100”, Kathy felt fear come through her body. Her doctor was especially concerned with a high diastolic (bottom) number which indicates her heart is working very hard to pump blood to the rest of your body. If high diastolic pressure is consistent, it can lead to a heart attack or stroke.

Last weekend, they headed out to a friend’s beach for a week. Planning in advance, they brought their tube and loop bands with them for the workouts. Yes, you heard me right.  and her family. This week while they are on vacation, we trained three times with including today, yes. Their friend joined our sessions too and fun we all had. I LOVE it. Their attitude and commitment to health and fitness feed me energy and vice-versa. It’s a WIN-WIN.

Are You Stuck Here

Ready to get a little nerdy?

Ready for something crazy!?

If you’ve ever studied “behavior change”, one of the first things you learned about is the “transtheoretical model of change.” It sounds complicated but it’s not!

It was developed back in the 1970s after researchers studied smokers who were trying to quit. They broke down the “5 Mindset Stages” people go through to create a new lifestyle change.

We asked the WRONG question…

A while ago I read something that absolutely blew my mind! It actually made me step back and rethink some of the things I’ve been taught.

Exactly how long does it take to create a habit?

It’s a question researchers have been trying to answer for years. We’ve heard everything from 3 weeks to 90 days to even longer!

But … what if that’s the WRONG QUESTION?

June 1st, 2020

WOW,  hasn’t this decade put us to a test? Never in my lifetime, I thought I’d be driving 80-85 mph to make it home before a 9:00 pm curfew 😨.

We, the people, were born to love, give, and grow together 💗.

Let’s talk about things WE have loads of control of…our physical, emotional, and mental health!

Three Strategies to Rewire a Fixed Mindset and Facilitate Weight Loss

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Today I’m here to talk to you about the relationship between a fixed mindset and weight gain. What? Yes. So this video is inspired by a conversation I had with my mom, who has a very fixed mindset. As I asked questions with the purpose to help her hear her own rationale, it was amazing to see her come up with more irrational arguments and get even more stressed out.

Your Perfect Lockdown Day Schedule

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I’ve been seeing some INTERESTING posts from people on social media recently …

People who:

  • Haven’t showered in days
  • Don’t ever change out of their pajamas
  • Go to bed without changing clothes and don’t change in the morning
  • Waste time and are bored every day because they don’t have a plan
  • Not getting simple and small things done (that are normally no big deal)
  • Are suffering from more anxiety and stress than usual, because they don’t have any normalcy in their lives!

How To Boost Your Walks. It’s a Win-Win!

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Since the outbreak of the virus pandemic, the majority of people have been working from home. For many, this has been an interesting experience and they have learned and adapted their habits and routine. In cities like Atlanta, GA, where traffic hours are from 6am to 9pm, stress has not been part of the driving experience. Going forward, I hope that organizations will encourage employees to work from home more often.
