Rockstar Nutrition: Christine Coppola

Coach’s comments:

Christine is a rockstar triathlete who has completed half and full Ironmans but had gotten out of a training/eating rhythm that worked well for her.

I was thrilled when she wanted to learn more about how to approach training, racing and her lifestyle from a more holistic approach by joining my Nutrition Essentials

She is also a busy mom to a 4 year old, loving wife and successful executive with NBC. In other words busy and on the go!

Her success below is awesome because she didn’t force it or rush it.

She realized that small changes made over time had the best outcome.

She didn’t make every call and only attended for 30 minutes sometimes but went back and listened later when she had time.

With the online platform that is included you have all the information at your fingertips to use a resource on your own time. This is how it has to happen sometimes! And that is OK.

Sometimes to achieve the results we desire it takes a little longer, but the changes stick! You take the information given and tweak it to work for you all with my guidance and support!

So proud of you for all your hard work and success. Let’s keep it going on the way to your next big DREAM!

What positive results did you achieve during your Nutrition Essentials Course?

I was able to eat clean, drink more water and be more cognizant of my overall well being. I also learned a lot!

Did you lose weight or gain according to your desired goal?

Yes!

If you lost or gained weight, how much?

9 lbs

Was the program every thing you expected? Please explain:

Yes – it was actually more than I expected!

Did your thoughts about what is possible for your lifestyle change?

Definitely. It seemed so daunting and complicated when I tried to make changes alone, but this helped me break it down into manageable pieces. It also provided a forum to ask questions.

What was the easiest thing to implement and what did you have the most trouble with?

More water, less sugar, eating more balanced were easiest. I am still catching up/re reading on supplements info.

Did your sleep pattern improve?

Yes

Are you continuing to hydrate properly?

Yes

What specific changes in your nutrition did you make?

I stopped using creamer in my coffee, went from 16 oz a day to 8 oz a day and using recipe for brain boost coffee. I am drinking more water. I am also using the approved foods list to shop and prep meals. Also not buying food with lots of ingredients and really checking sugar.

Would you recommend this course to others?

Definitely

Did you clean up your toxic load? Please explain:

I am working on it! Starting with cleaning products then makeup hair etc.

How to Eliminate Excuses

How to Eliminate Excuses

When we were kids, we could find excuses for anything, right?

For not going to bed on time.

For fighting with siblings.

For not getting homework done.

As adults, we’ve learned to take responsibility for our actions and failures – at least most of the time. But there’s always a supply of excuses waiting within reach whenever we want to use one, including about our health and fitness. 

Your spouse, your kids, the traffic.

Your boss.

Your biorhythms.

On and on…

So how do we get rid of this childhood habit once and for all?

Here are some of my best ideas.

1.     Realize you’re only hurting yourself when you find a scapegoat. It doesn’t hurt the coach, your significant other, your doctor … anyone else.

2.     Let go of the persecution complex. Traffic doesn’t happen to just you. Everyone’s boss throws a wrench in their plans sometimes. Nobody “feels like it” all the time, even those who seem divinely motivated to make it look easy.

3.     Stop comparing yourself to others. It only sets you up to feel “less than” and not good enough, which undermines your motivation and negative self-talk.

4.     Seek inspiration from others who keep getting up every time they fall. This can be someone at work, a friend at the gym, or even a figure in fiction. 

5.     Acknowledge your strengths and weaknesses alike. Let’s say you’re good at getting to the gym on time, but you don’t work as hard as you want. OK – great! How can you build on that? Work out with a friend or trainer, take a group class, or meditate for a few moments before you walk in? What you don’t want to do: Tell yourself it’s someone else’s fault that you’re not quite hitting it.

6.     Scratch the surface. What’s underneath the need to make an excuse? Are you afraid of something? Feeling insecure or intimidated? Whatever it is, a little introspection can help identify the source, and from there, you’re closer to eliminating it.

7.     Repeat success. When something works for you, repeat it. Think about why – and how you can apply the lesson elsewhere.

I’d love for you to hit reply and let me know which tip is most helpful!
