I was recently asked what the secret is to losing almost 150 pounds and staying on track. There is no secret. Every person’s journey is different, what works for me, may not work for you and vice versa. There are 3 things that work / are true for everyone however -

1. You must remember that weight loss isn’t just physical, it’s mental.

2. You’ve got to move your body.

3. If you continue to do what you’ve always done / what’s worked before but only short term, you will not have a different outcome now. Change it.

Being able to connect and relate to my clients is important to me. This picture shows what I chose not see for a while in the mirror. I was overweight and needed to make some changes. 🤷🏽‍♀️ This year my weight was the highest it’s ever been! Stress, lack of sleep, and poor food choices will do it every time. 🤦🏽‍♀️ I knew I needed to get back on track for my health so that’s what I did. I rekindled my friendship with portion control and healthy food options.🍽🍎 My weight is finally back where it belongs. I can actually fit back into clothes from these 2017 pics💃🏽, but more importantly I’m at a healthy weight for myself. I still have work to do to build muscle again, but I chose to lean out first. It’s a journey, not a one day fix. 🏃🏽‍♀️ Weight fluctuates so it’s best to not sweat the scale. Go by how you feel, how your clothes fit, your energy levels, etc. Make adjustments where needed and be patient with yourself. Everyone’s journey, story, and life is different. Don’t try to do or be what everyone else is. Find your version of fit! 💪🏽 #mindset #fitness #nutrition #nomagicpill #dowork #fitmomofmany #personaltrainer https://www.instagram.com/p/B5yAgWHg9fY/?igshid=1ifa5e0qz8tn8

The Magic Pill

 Third day that we are getting after it in this new year.  Maybe some did start on the 1st, but we got to it on the 4th. Enjoyed a few more days of indulgence and slow down before starting anew. And yes, this is another day we are looking at the whole change topic.  As I just wrote that last sentence, I was reminded of this saying….

 “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

 There are certainly cases where that is true. Some of us change for the sake of change and I guess that may not necessarily be a bad thing.  Keeps you on your toes.  Keeps you moving and keeps things different.  Other times consistency is important, and routine is good too.  The quote above, first thing that comes to mind for me is my marriage.  Do we have challenges and is it work? Absolutely but it ain’t broke and we are not looking to fix it.  There are components that we are definitely looking to change; maybe we can even say fix, but it is all for good and for us to better, both as partners and as individuals.

 Whatever our new commitments for 2021 may be, who you may be looking to become or where you may want to go personally, professionally, health, financial, relationships, etc. – IT ALL TAKES WORK!  True work.  Hard work.  

 These thoughts were inspired by quote I read by a mentor of mine, Lucas Jadin @ Train 2B Clutch.

  “We don’t have a magic token that takes it away.” – Lucas Jadin

 This is from three years ago when we were having monthly mentoring sessions.  A couple of weeks ago, in reviewing my journals, I came across it and wrote it down in my notes to revisit.  Considering we have been talking change the last few days and it is the new year, good timing……or maybe you are sick of this topic 😊…. don’t be afraid of change 😊.  Robin and I have been really digging into this as we start our new commitments.  Just last night we were discussing meals and nutrition and taking it one meal at a time. That is funny, I am picturing Tom Brady and other NFL players saying, “we are just taking it one game at a time.” But it is a true thought process. We get caught up looking at the long run and the end result.  Well, with our new commitments we don’t have an end result.  Sure, there are things we want to see happen and changes we want to experience throughout this year.  However, if there is one thing, we learned in 2020, this life is full of uncertainty.  Looking back, sure this pandemic has made us much more aware of that, but uncertainty has always been here and always will.  So, taking each day, each moment, each meal as it is right in front of us is the mindset we are working on.  It is a practice.  When we get to the end of this year we can evaluate and reflect on the progress we made.  Because it is ALL about the progress.

 This goes back to Lucas’ quote, there is no magic pill.  Even after the year we had we still want this quick fix.  We want to be able to snap our fingers for all the pain to go away, for the job to be there, for the money to show up.  It takes a lot of work, damn hard work, to make a change.  It is not easy and much of what we are discussing here creates that work AND, most of the time that work is what we are doing/saying in between our ears.  Looking at the long game or thinking about the quick fix are two topics that can prevent us from getting started or stop us during the journey.  We have the tendency to think about 3, 6, 12 months from now and how long we are going to have to continue with these new commitments….”do I want to work this hard at this for that long?” – We may quit. After two weeks on the new exercise program and new eating habits we don’t see any major progress or change….” this isn’t working might as well just go back to my old way.” – We give up trying. I speak this because I’ve battled it and continue to do so in areas of my life.  

 Maybe I sound like I am contradicting myself?  Possibly but I think patience has a lot to do with this. I also believe forgiveness plays into it and compassion for ourselves.  As for patience, if we are starting something new and are constantly evaluating ourselves daily, weekly, monthly – may be too much.  Also, great to look at your progress but those eval periods need to be in perspective with the level of change and commitment you are now taking on. For example, if you are looking to be able to run 5 miles in 6 months but just started walking around the block on day 1, judging yourself for not being able to run a mile after 3 weeks…. you are being too hard on yourself.  Be patient, the progress will get there.  Taking that same example, you may be making great progress and after 30 days you are up to a mile run now.  However, other commitments or priorities took precedent and you had to make some adjustments, not being able to work on running for 2 weeks.  That following time out you may not be able to run the full mile.  That is okay, forgive yourself because you had pivot, other things came up.  Stay committed, keep showing up, and stay consistent.  Look at the progress you’ve made since day one and keep going.  Compassion – 4 months in and you are up to 3 miles running and you are feeling fantastic with the progress, but your attention is now switch to another endeavor.  Running 5 miles in that 6 months is no longer the top focus or, maybe you get injured and have to step back.  Love yourself for the great progress you made and the better person you became by going on this journey.  Now, you just have to focus your attention to this new journey that is taking your interest. Maybe time to revisit the running later – love yourself for that and when that time comes.  

 This is all within our control, this whole change, adjustment thing.  We have the power to do it and be it. I know so many times that space between my two ears gets in my way.  That is my constant battle and biggest nemesis, my mind.  How I talk to myself, how I am listening to myself, and what I am saying.  I had this quote that I put out several months ago and I forgot who said it but I will end with it…….

 “Don’t say dumb shit out loud.” – I forgot….

 Get rid of the dumb shit and listen to the great stuff we have inside of us all.

Monday motivation; when a pharmaceutical company gives our youth, straight or LGBTQ the green light to use a “magic pill” that prevents you from catching HIV in a major magazine, but in plain sight there’s a total handmaids tale overtone I could not ignore or turn away from, I have to be suspicious as to “what if” this doesn’t work, why magazine publishers who are influencers don’t exercise more socially conscious responsibility, the way things are worded are no guarantee this works, it’s an intentional genocide of the “gay” Population of course, polarizing them as carriers of “AIDS” but telling our younger people it’s ok, you won’t catch it!! WTH!! Who’s catching this??
