The future is bright.

Research shows that one of the most common causes of depression and anxiety is lack of a belief in a compelling future.

Makes sense. If you don't believe that better times are ahead then that can be pretty tough to cope with.

The belief in a compelling future will drive you towards action.

We make decisions for two reasons..
1. to run away from pain
or
2. to run towards pleasure.

The whole running away from pain thing has been beaten to death. I'd rather not go there. I'm not particularly fond of telling someone they're broken and need to be fixed.

I'd much rather show you a compelling future to run towards.

What does that future look like?

It looks like the next level version of yourself.

I'm sure you can picture it...

More energy. More confidence. Stronger. Leaner. Clothes fitting better. Improved s*x drive. Less anxiety. Feeling more comfortable in your own skin.

Want to see the physical representation of several individuals who believed in a compelling future?

Here ya go…

There are some 30-50lbs transformations. Some muscle building transformations. And some going from lean to leaner transformations.

All with one thing in common.. a belief in a better future.

What those pictures don't show is the internal changes. How they show up at work. How they show up for their families. Improved sense of well-being. More confidence. Energetic. Less stress. Less anxiety. Feeling proud and fulfilled.

You are capable of the same transformation. You have everything you need right in front of you to make a lasting change that improves the future version of yourself.

If you believe it, you'll move towards it.

You may be thinking... HOW?

This blew her mind
⠀
I had this conversation with a client recently and it totally changed her view of eating
⠀
She mentioned how she tends to look at meal prepping as restricting
⠀
Because she is “stuck” to those foods for that week
⠀
So I asked her what she used to eat before we started coaching
⠀
She listed off maybe 4 foods
⠀
She generally ate these same foods most days
⠀
They were all highly palatable & convenient options
⠀
I asked if she felt restricted by those
⠀
She said no
⠀
“Well you were unintentionally stuck to those foods for years, but you didn’t feel restricted”
⠀
🤯
⠀
The difference is that when you’re mindlessly eating, you FEEL like you can eat whatever you want
⠀
Eating a healthy balanced diet that leads to weight loss isn’t restricting
⠀
You’re making it feel restrictive because you’re telling yourself you CANT eat whatever you want
⠀
But the truth is, you never really just ate whatever you wanted
⠀
You ate based on habits, convenience, social obligation
⠀
So if we build habits based on:
⠀
Health
Feeling full
Performing your best
⠀
You’ll stick to them on autopilot
⠀
Having a pretty consistent menu MOST of the time isn’t restricting
⠀
It’s just making your life easier
⠀
If everyday you had to choose between 18 different routes to work it’d be annoying
⠀
You don’t need 100 healthy recipes and Pinterest meal ideas
⠀
You need consistency
⠀
Consistency is Convenient
Not restricting

Freedom creates more discipline
⠀
I thought of this today when I was talking to a client about their diet
⠀
As someone who works for themself a perceived benefit is:
⠀
“You get to make your own schedule”
⠀
While that technically is true, the implication is that I have the option to work or not
⠀
Which also is true, so I have to CHOOSE to work each day
⠀
The perception of choice is actually much more powerful than choice itself
⠀
If a boss or company asked me to do the things I currently do, I could probably have a case for lawsuit lol
⠀
Having the freedom to make my own schedule usually leads to more work than if I had a normal job
⠀
I have to build discipline to get up early
⠀
To go book my own consults
⠀
To take late calls
⠀
To work on weekends
⠀
To work on holidays
⠀
To show up on camera
⠀
To record podcasts
⠀
To do the boring stuff like bookkeeping or taxes
⠀
No one is telling me I have to do these
⠀
No one is setting my schedule or rules
⠀
But that freedom creates more discipline because I’ve had to build in the automatic choice to “do” even when I don’t want to
⠀
This applies to your nutrition
⠀
When you have stringent rules on a restrictive diet
⠀
It creates an illusion of structure
⠀
But that is often what leads to burnout and resentment
⠀
It’s what leads to lack of discipline and the tendency to fall off
⠀
With flexible dieting, having the freedom to eat whatever you want, over time creates MORE discipline
⠀
You build knowledge, accountability, and skills to create a system that works for you
⠀
The freedom to eat whatever you want actually creates less urge to binge
⠀
The less “bossy” your diet is, the more you build self accountability and autonomy
⠀
To simplify it:
⠀
If I tell you, “you can’t eat pizza”
⠀
After 2 weeks you’ll be like
“F**k this I’m gonna have pizza” and over indulge
⠀
If I tell you “eat pizza whenever you want, just fit it in your calories”
⠀
You’re more likely to go question when you actually want pizza
⠀
You’re more likely to moderate it
⠀
Final point:
⠀
Having freedom doesn’t mean lack of responsibility
⠀
It can actually create more responsible behavior
⠀
⠀

Eating LESS is fu**in up your fat loss
⠀
Most people think they need to suppress their appetite
⠀
While also endlessly searching for new ways to eat “less”
⠀
Here’s the issue:
⠀
Majority of overweight women I’ve worked with have SMALL APPETITES
⠀
Rarely do I meet a client who has an overwhelming appetite
⠀
They tend to eat out of:
⠀
Stress
Boredom
Social obligation
⠀
These behaviors lend themselves to eating CALORIE DENSE foods
⠀
These are foods that have HIGH calories for very small servings
⠀
Chips
French fries
Desserts
Highly processed foods
⠀
The problem isn’t appetite
⠀
The problem is you’re choosing foods out of convenience or comfort
⠀
And you’re not in tune with your hunger hormones
⠀
By switching your approach and eating:
⠀
MORE nutrient dense foods
MORE frequent meals
MORE protein
⠀
You are putting yourself in a more full and mindful state
⠀
This leads to less emotional eating & easier time saying “no” to things
⠀
Another bonus is that you will also see how easy it is to fit in the “fun” foods in moderation when you’re well fed
⠀
These are a few examples of what I’m taking about
⠀

1️⃣You can actually get lean without much cardio.

This isn’t a game of eating less and working out more. Our bodies are smart and adaptive.
⠀
2️⃣ Cutting out carbs isn’t the answer unless you’re the less than 1% of the population who has a medical reason to do so. ⁣⁣
⠀
3️⃣Rest days are 100% necessary.

Young me thought was going to get me there faster

When really all that does is cause stress on the body.

A stressed system loves to store fat.⁣⁣⁣
⠀
4️⃣ Calories are king. Supplements, fad diets, meal timing, fasting, will not matter for fat loss.
⠀
5️⃣Hiring a professional is WORTH EVERY PENNY. My mindset allowed me to think I could “do it myself.”
⠀
⁣⁣⁣We hire professionals for our cars, home repairs, lawns, haircuts, etc

but for some reason we think we can handle our fitness without help!
⠀
We have a couple of months left until the new year.⁣⁣⁣

⠀
For me though, it doesn’t ever really slow down

The people that I work with want this to be a SUSTAINABLE thing.
⠀
They’re serious about change

They want to feel good for a life time,

not just for a few months out of the year.

If you’re one of those people click the link in my bio because I am opening only 10 coaching spots

We start Oct 17!

Your mom lied to you

Obesity and high blood pressure don’t run in the family

Poor lifestyle choices run in your family

Your doctor didn’t educate you

Those cholesterol and blood pressure meds don’t fix anything

You DONT need weight loss shots because you have “insulin resistance”

You’re pre-diabetic because of your daily habits

You have so much control over your quality of life it’s crazy

You need to get out of the “patient” mentality

This antiquated idea that you’re perpetually sick and that meds are the answer

You shouldn’t have a stocked medicine cabinet of prescriptions at 40 yrs old

You shouldn’t be waking up lethargic and unmotivated

You shouldn’t have a low libido

Humans can adapt to crazy things

You’ve chosen to adapt to the idea that you’re sick

That your knees are “bad” at 37
That you need Tums and Advil to make it through the day
That your doctor can make you question your self worth

You’re not sick
You’re not a patient

You haven’t made the choices that are in line with the life you want

The responsibility and severity of your decisions is mind boggling

And you’re not motivated to take back that control?

You’ll let some fu**in lunges stand in the way of you being the person you want?

To have the body you want
To have the s*x life you want
To break the family cycles you want to break

You’re willing to sacrifice all of that because you might have to track some calories?

If you truly grasp the changes that are at the tips of your fingers

You’ll never feel unmotivated again

Process this
and don’t start tomorrow the way you started today

Here is a secret about me

I can be super frugal

Some may refer to it as cheap *cough* my wife *cough*

The truth is that I am actually not cheap

I just won’t spend money on things I don’t see value in

I see value in:

Health
Experiences
Travel
Good quality food
Knowledge

If it doesn’t hit those categories I don’t bend over backwards to fit it into my budget

Neither me or my wife have brand new cars
We also don’t have car payments on our cars

And when I did have a car payments I refused to pay a lot (which is why I have an $18,000 car)

Could we afford better cars?

Absolutely

But that doesn’t fit in our value hierarchy

You may be nodding your head right now or rolling your eyes BUT what do YOU value?

What does your budget say about you?

You’ll take on a $600/month car payment, but do you feel confident when you step out of it?

For some reason when you go through your budget, your “health” budget is nonexistent

You’ll allocate $10/month to a gym membership you never use, thats about it huh?

And no, your health insurance is not part of your health budget.

Your health budget is what you allocate to make sure you are on track to live a longer, happier, healthier life

Not your obligatory dental cleaning or your unnecessary blood pressure meds you could be off of if you got your habits in order

What does your budget say about how much you value your body/mind/health?

If the first items on your budget chopping block are gym memberships, your trainer/coach, or your food quality

You need to reassess your values

Because you will sit on a call with a coach and say
“I can’t put a price on my health, these goals are invaluable to me”

Yet you’ll wince at paying more than $75 toward a longer, happier, healthier you?

Check in with yourself and ask:

“What does my budget say about how much I value my life/health?”

Are you going to lose weight or gain 10lbs this holiday season?

Over the next few months, most people are going to gain unwanted weight because they don’t know how to flexibly diet

They define themselves as “all or nothing” and the holidays represent a “nothing” season in terms of weight loss goals

It doesn’t have to be that way

If you understand weight loss nutrition, you can enjoy every holiday food you love while still losing weight

And I’m offering to teach you how at NO COST tomorrow morning at 10am

Nutrition Seminar at CrossFit House Party, open to ANYONE

If you can’t sacrifice 45 min on a Saturday to learn how to lose weight for free

Then you need to ask yourself if you’re actually serious about seeing results

This is why your last 5 cycles of “macro counting” didn’t work
⠀
If you’ve re-upped on 8 week macro cycles 5 times, you’re being delusional if you think the 6th time will “stick”
⠀
It’s not “working” because you’re not learning anything
⠀
You’re a just yo-yo dieting with a fancy name
⠀
Nutrition COACHING I teaches you how to build lifelong habits
⠀
How to fix your relationship with food
⠀
How to balance results and freedom
⠀
Having an empathetic support system
⠀
Being educated on how to do this on your own
⠀
It’s not something you can spontaneously sign up for once every 5 months
⠀
If you’re on your 5th cycle of “coaching” you’ve never been actually coached
⠀
Doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result is the definition of insanity
⠀
If you are done:
⠀
⚠️ Stressing over tracking lettuce
⚠️ Eating 1000-1200 calories
⚠️ Constantly “re-upping” but never getting results
⚠️ Having no habits built to maintain results
⠀
Maybe you should focus on COACHING not counting
⠀

Mic drop 🎤 💣 Mindset Switch
⠀
You don’t lack discipline
⠀
You don’t lack motivation
⠀
You don’t lack work ethic
⠀
You’re lacking is self worth
⠀
You “stick it out” at jobs that make you miserable
⠀
You “try to make it work” in toxic relationships (platonic or s*xual)
⠀
But you find every excuse to quit on yourself
⠀
You don’t believe in yourself
⠀
You don’t believe you’re worthy of a happier, healthier, longer life
⠀
That’s why you’ll “throw in the towel” when weight loss gets hard
⠀
But you won’t stick up for yourself at work
⠀
That’s why you self sabotage your diet
⠀
But you’ll come up with reasons to “keep trying” with friends/partners who don’t treat you right
⠀
You can calculate the calories
⠀
You can find all of the workouts
⠀
You can Google “healthy” foods
⠀
But it won’t stick until you have the support and coaching to fully
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
⠀
That’s why self belief and mindset is the MAIN thing I focus on with clients
