Have you ever said this naughty phrase?

Have you ever said this naughty phrase?

One of the biggest phrases I’m constantly hearing from people is one that steals your dreams and is just a lie you tell yourself.

“I need to get my ducks in a row.”

Before I get heathy, lose weight, get strong.
Before I can start training for that triathlon.
Before I start my business.
Before I leave a miserable relationship.

Whatever the case may be, that dream-killing phrase is never the truth.
Because you’re always ready before you think that you are.

That phrase simply buys time, and it’s a sneaky form of procrastination that will keep you stuck indefinitely.

You will NEVER have your “ducks in a row.”

It’s just another way of saying “when the timing is perfect,” which we also know is impossible.

I wanted to highlight this today so that next time you or someone you love utters this silly little phrase of lies, you can recognize it.

Call yourself or your loved one out. Own the truth – the truth that the only solution is action anyway.

And you’ll all be better for it. You feel me?

What’s it worth?

What’s it worth?

Having spent over 23 years working in health and wellness, I’ve seen a lot of people succeed and a lot of people fail when it comes to their health.

One of the top reasons I see people fail to even start is that “it’s too expensive.”

Whether they’re talking about healthy organic foods or my coaching services, it seems people put a serious price tag on their health. And I gotta talk about that today.

If you’ve ever said “it’s too expensive” when it comes to improving your health, this is for you…

Walking is free. Healthy food is often cheaper that fast food – especially if you’re incorporating real food- meats, poultry green vegetables, and even frozen produce and organic whenever possible.

And coaching services like what I do?

Of course, they’re pricier than a Planet Fitness membership. But people work with me when they want to get real results, to change their lives.

And those who are going to be successful both long and short term, know that their own health is the best investment they can make. Way less expensive than hospital bills and medications from years of neglect.

Because if you’re not healthy you can’t enjoy anything else that money can buy either.
You might have mansion, sports car and yacht but without your health you are not able to even enjoy all that.

So, what’s your health worth to you?

What’s being vibrant and active vs couch/bedridden worth when you’re old?

What’s it worth to be fully present and energized for your wife/ husband, kids and grandkids?

What’s it worth to feel confident each day of your life?

Can you put a price on living a life where you are completely medication and ailment free?

No matter your age, you need to consider these things NOW.

There’s nothing more important to invest in than your health. And sadly, most people don’t realize this until there’s a problem that they wish they’d done something about it years ago.

So, I want to encourage you to be PROACTIVE instead of REACTIVE when it comes to your health. Never price shop the most important thing you’ve got.

Do you want this?

Do you want this?

Why do you feel like we have to choose?

Between the successful career and an amazing family?

Between taking care of your health and time with partner and kids?

Between doing the things you love and fulfilling your obligations?

What if you could actually have it all?

The family, career, health/fitness, freedom…

Because it is possible.

Most people just don’t believe it.

Life is about AND…

Having health AND success.

Having family AND self-care.

You need to get out of the mindset that you can’t have it all so you can actually begin to allow it into your life.

You know those families you look at and wonder how the parents seem so “together” and happy all of the time?

It’s because they’ve decided that they want it all… and they’ve created it.

No matter where you are in your life right now, you can decide you’re going to have it all too.

Then, it’s a matter of taking the steps to create it. It’s as simple as that.

So, my friend…
What have you been deeply desiring but afraid to let in?

What would make life as sweet as you deserve it to be that you might have thought you just weren’t meant for?

If you’d reply to this message and share with me, I’d love to support you in creating it.

Rockstar Triathlete; Monica Rizo

Coach’s Notes: Due to Covid I had to be creative with my online coaching and get my athletes what they needed virtually. When I offered my first online only coaching program (The 8 week Sprint Triathlon Finish line Program) Monica jumped in and we were able to get her what she needed until we could meet. I’m so impressed with her accomplishments and to be committed even when she can’t make it to class, she does her online training on her own. The weekly Zoom calls helped her be able to improve in all 3 sports. Monica congratulations on all your accomplishments, but this is just the beginning! I’m looking forward to what’s next. Another podium, Olympic triathlon and maybe even a half IM!!! Lets do it girl!!!

Age: 55

Profession: Office/HR Manager

Why you chose FCC to help you on your triathlon/health and wellness journey?

In 2018, a friend convinced me to do the Huntington Disease Sprint Duathlon with her, for fun, and that is where I met Erinne, when she was giving the Pre-race Clinic. After that race I was dabbling with the idea of someday doing a Triathlon, but my biggest fear was the swimming portion with the big crowds of swimmers. I followed coach Erinne and FCC in social media and loved the fact that her methods were so comprehensive and with a holistic approach.

May of this year, Erinne offered a Q&A Webinar about Virtual Triathlon Training so, I decided to register. I was in a rut at the time not wanting to get up in the mornings to exercise nor go running. After listening to Erinne and all the testimonials (especially Vicki Koller’s) I decided to bite the bullet and give it a try…..and I loved it!!!

What is your “A” race for this season?

The Mack Cycle Trilogy races and Escape to Miami. For now I’m focusing on the Sprint races, but want to work on improving my endurance in all 3 disciplines in order to do an Olympic distance.

Please share your BIG goals:

Improve my running skills in order to run a Half and Full Marathon without having to take walk breaks. Someday do a half Ironman (not sure which one yet, nor when).

Tell me about your successes so far:

Completed my first Sprint Triathlon, and the cherry on top was that I podiumed, 3rd place in my age group……even with a horrible run! I’m still a work in progress, but I feel stronger and see the improvements.

What were some of your biggest Improvements in performance for the each of the following? Swim: Bike: Run: Nutrition/Health: Please include any Personal Records and Goals achieved:

Swim: First and foremost, being able to do an open water swim around a group of swimmers with waves and currents. I believe my swim form has improved, therefore gliding better through the water. Working on endurance and speed.

Bike: I started riding my bike again last year, but with FCC I have been learning a lot on the use and selection of the proper gears, cadence, drafting correctly, etc. Working on endurance and speed.

Run: I had a high heart rate in running when I started with FCC, but with speed and strength training, learning how to change my cadence, and pacing myself have helped me tremendously.

Nutrition/Health: Learning how to make better choices before, during and after a workout.

Name 2 or 3 things that have made the biggest difference in your journey:

1. The mentorship and wealth of information that Coach Erinne and her team of coaches offer. Erinne really cares about her athletes and always makes herself available to all of them no matter the question you may have.

2. Meeting new people and training with an awesome tribe that I’ve met through Full Circle. They’ve been so welcoming, supportive, kind and so much fun to be around.

3. Having a training plan that is fit for me and consistency in the training.

What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon?

I love being able to challenge myself and see improvements. There is nothing like getting to the finish line and knowing that you made it! It is also great to be part of a group of people that share the same passion and are nothing but supportive and encouraging to one another.

What would you say to another person who was on the fence about joining our training program?

Try it, you have nothing to lose, only gain. You’ll gain a great experience, the tools and knowledge for a healthy, active life and the camaraderie. It has been one of the best decisions I’ve made.

The power in unplugging

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset

The power in unplugging

I have a new weekly email that I receive telling me about my usage on my phone and emails and last week it came showing I had ZERO downtime and it asked if there is any way I could make that a priority to schedule it in.

Seeing it kind of shocked me because balance and downtime are so important to me.

I mean, I’m the one teaching and explaining to others the importance of rest and recovery and not being plugged in all the time.

But here I am, not exactly practicing what I preach. Which is a big issue for me. 

So this past weekend, I challenged myself to really unplug and I have to tell you, it’s been difficult. I am constantly checking my phone, seeing who texted, emailed etc., even when there is honestly absolutely no need to.

I think I’m a little addicted to it, as so many millions of others are and I’m not proud of it!

A few months ago, I challenged myself to become more transparent and to speak my truths about what I believe, what I know and what I’ve learned through education and personal experience about having balance in life and sport. Specifically, triathlon but I do think there is a line that we have to be conscious of.

I’m a huge fan and need all the data being collected while I train and it also allows me to see how my athletes are doing. This is the best way for them to easily communicate with me regarding their training.

But there can also be too much data being collected and the negative effects of wearing these devices that monitor everything you do, on top being on the phone and computer all day.

Being monitored by a device 24 hours a day is simply not healthy and can have serious negative repercussions – including adrenal fatigue, immune deficiency and sleep issues.

There has to be something said for completely unplugging for periods of time and regenerating from the most important thing around us. The natural environment; the wind, the sun, the ground, water, nature and also from all the people and relationships around us that are coming in second to our being connected to technology.

I really think if you are honest you know and can feel when you are overdoing it and don’t need a device to tell us if you did not sleep well or, if you’re feeling tired and wired from all the negative electromagnetic frequency coming at you all day every day.
 
I’m recommitted to the balance in my life. This weekend I paddles 3 miles out into the ocean on my paddle board and just sat quietly listened to how peaceful it was. Then, I jumped in the ocean and felt all the peace and energy surrounding me not coming from any app, computer or TV and I realized how imperative it is for me to include unplugging daily.

Now I’m wondering if any of you are feeling the same way? I got to really hang out with good friends, have great conversation, eat some delicious, healthy food and be in nature by just walking in the grass and on the sand and swimming in the ocean several times a day. I immediately felt much better for doing it and I feel more connected to myself and other people right now.

Although I’m still committed to being on social media, email and sharing my vision and purpose with people, I’m also committed to creating balance and remembering to put myself, family and relationships first and making unplugging a priority.

I want to challenge you to do the same, how about you start today!
