Do you emotional eat?
Emotional eating is possibly the top reason people struggle when dieting.

How often have you had something stressful happen to find yourself driving up to your favorite local eatery and ordering your comfort food (for me it's wings or a breakfast burrito) and almost mindlessly eating it in an out of body experience?

It happens quite a bit, maybe more than people are aware of.

It's often how people are conditioned to manage stress, sadness or any other feeling. But our comfort foods won't help.

If you are eating because you feel lonely, what could you eat that would make that go away?

The reason stress eating is so challenging is that many people never address the core emotion they are feeling.

And, being honest, it's hard.

Addressing deep feelings can be a raw experience for a lot of people. Exploring these feelings though, can help people really identify what is going on, and possibly how to address it.

If it's stress, maybe we need better outlets to manage stress, maybe it's walking, playing with loved ones, a nice whirlpool bath or bubble bath, or kicking back and watching your favorite anime.

Whatever it is it'll take some time to figure out

But remember, no pizza in the world will fill the void of grief, or depression, or lonelyness.

So really listen to the quote by Dr. Michelle May
"when a craving doesn't come from hunger, eating will never satisfy it"

Do your best to try to identify the real reason you are eating.

And if you need help then shoot us a message or comment below. We can help

Exercise can simply be because it is fun, engaging and makes you feel good. There doesn't have to be a big goal in mind.

One of the reasons Adrian has gotten into trail running is because of the experience of it. Not because it burned calories or it helped him lose weight.

Simply the sense of wonder, discovery, the sights and exploration of trail running is just a pleasure.

What are your thoughts on this?

Just because you’re in the gym several days a week doesn’t mean you need to be getting shredded. ⁣
Just because you go out jogging doesn’t mean you have to be training for a race. ⁣
⁣
There’s no specific way someone is “supposed” to look if they exercise regularly. ⁣
There’s not a set standard for how strong someone should be because they lift weights. ⁣
⁣
I’m partial to lifting weights and walking, as that’s the combo that makes me feel my best. Yours may be different. ⁣
⁣
Want to train to get stronger? Awesome - you know I’m all about that. ⁣
But it’s also completely okay to engage in physical activity simply because you enjoy it.

Would you prefer having one big cheat day or a daily treat?

A lot of people are going through a lot of uncertainty right now. That being paired with everything going on in the world, and social distancing can really make people feel alone.

Remember there are people who care for you and want to help uplift you :)

Whether you are:

😭 grieving an uncertain future
😭 grieving something that didn't work out as planned
😭 grieving someone who is sick or has passed away
😭 grieving a person who is no longer part of your life
😭 grieving or strained or difficult relationship with a loved one
😭 or grieving the collective pain and trauma we’re experiencing together

I hope you:

❤️ give yourself the space to feel your grief
❤️ sit with it
❤️ refrain from judging it
❤️ and let it move through you, knowing this won’t last forever

I see you, and I'm sending you lots of love.”

Thank you so much to GGS Woman-in-charge Molly Galbraith for reminding us that it’s okay to be vulnerable and to grieve however we need to.

There’s a lot going on the world right now. If you’re like us, you might even be scared about the uncertainty of the future that lies ahead. And it’s okay. We’re here to be the shoulder for you to cry on.

And we don’t even mind if your mascara gets on our shirt. ❤️

“Calories don’t work!”

I was shocked….

What do you mean?

There was no way calories don’t work. I mean its thermodynamics. Fundamental laws of physics but……I wanted to hear what my good friend had to say though.

“How do you explain stress, or sleep or things like that? Those aren’t calories!”

Joe had a point

They are not calories and we know for a fact that they affect how our bodies change

So what is going on here?

Do calories matter…. Or don’t they?

This is a super deep and fascinating topic that we will be diving into on sat with our free webinar this sat

If you have ever felt that you tried calorie counting and it hasn’t worked
Or been doing a diet, hit a plateau and were not able to break through it
Or just have been frustrated with weight loss results

Then you need to be on this webinar where we will get into

Do calories even matter and if so, how much?

Why calories are so confusing.

Why it’s like hitting a moving target.

Why so many people have a challenging time with it.

Why is it that some diets work better than others?

We are even gonna do a live Q/A where we can get into your big
questions and really be able to help.

So if you are interested, click this link and it'll open up messenger and we will send you the private link to the free webinar

“I’m just not motivated to work out.”
Y’all, we’re feeling you on this, truth be told, I’m not either. With routines being non-existent, kids tugging on your shirt 24/7, and not being able to do all the fun things you did before. Well it’s no wonder motivation is at an all time low.
But you guys, contrary to popular belief, motivation is not how things get done. Motivation is fleeting, and we can’t count on it to keep us progressing. So join us on a zoom today 3pm PST, so you can find out what the secret is to keep moving you forward, especially when things are feeling poopy. 💩
Shoot a DM and I’ll send you the zoom link

April’s Community Event- Quarantine style.
Thanks to everyone that made it on, it was great catching up with guys. We had waaay too much fun messing around with the backgrounds. Gabby’s was hilarious. 😂 we all got a good laugh with it. We’ll see you on the virtual workouts!

With all the chaos in the world right now, close your eyes, breath and take responsibility.
Last week’s group check in we talked about control and taking responsibility. (Forgot to hit record on the zoom 🤦🏽‍♀️)

A lot of what’s happening around us is not our fault, but it IS our responsibility. Some of you may need some time to sit in the moment of feeling lost, some of you may be ready to take on new ventures with these new found ways to do things in life. Maybe you’re somewhere in the middle.

Wherever you are on that spectrum, take responsibility for your emotions, your actions/reactions. Own them. From there let’s find a path of empowerment to get through this. Be strong, be resilient. You got this. 👊💥
Need a little help? Let me know. We’re here for you.
