Your Body is Amazing

Your Body is Amazing

People sometimes ask why I exercise regularly. 

Sometimes they even ask if I’m trying to make a point, or prevent aging, or hold onto my youthful vanity… On and on…

But here’s the truth.

I move my body because I am grateful that I can.

If you have the ability to care for your body, then you should see exercise and healthy eating as GIFTS, not burdens. Because not everyone can, you know.

Are you showing thanks for that every day? The more you challenge your body – THE BETTER YOU CARE FOR IT —  the more it will respond.

Look, sometimes I don’t feel like working out. But I do it anyway. It’s a ritual of expressing gratitude. And it keeps me humble, knowing that I might not always be so strong, fast or agile.

Our bodies change, after all.

So give your body everything you’ve got, each and every day.

Who’s on your team?

Who’s on your team?

How do you feel about your healthy habits going into the holidays?

Are you confident that you can stay on track during the busy season of eating, drinking, and schedules being thrown out the window?

Or, could you use some friendly support?

Recruiting and relying on an accountability team is a great way to navigate the holidays. Gather a group of people, or just one friend, and share your goals with each other. Then, check in daily to follow up, offer encouragement, and remind each other that you’re in it together.

When you reach out for help, you’re giving it to the other person as much as you’re getting it.

And when someone asks you to hold her accountable, she’s showing she trusts you with him/her health.

And it works. Try it this month!

There’s still time for your 2021 goals!

There’s still time for your 2021 goals!

OK, it’s time for annual inventory! That’s right. Get out a pen and pad and take stock – of your 2021 goals, the progress you made, and what you can still work on before the calendar turns to 2022.

Here’s my step-by-step guide.

  1. Write a list of your successes for the year; another list for disappointments; another for unresolved goals. Then reevaluate those to see how you feel about them now.
  2. Pat yourself on the back for your wins, and accept whatever disappointment you’re feeling. 
  3. Then let that go! Check that baggage and move ahead with a clear conscience.
  4. Next, look for opportunities to take action on your 2021 goals in the remaining days of this year. Don’t make the common mistake of saying, “Well, the year’s almost over, so I guess I’ll just revert to my old ways until January 1!”

That last step might be the most important one.

You’ve got to use all the time you’re given to reach your goals… even after you’ve reassessed and maybe even adjusted them.

And you don’t want to blow your gains here in the homestretch.

Think about it: Does your favorite football team just blow off the last 10 minutes of a game because they’re behind?

Of course not. So, play on! And when the calendar does turn, you’ll be even better set to look ahead at the next new year.

Are you making the most out of your life?

Are you making the most out of your life?

Do you remember being a kid and hearing adults say things like, “Life is short. It goes by so fast”? I thought that was crazy, because my next birthday always seemed sooooo far away. Right? 

But the older I get, the more I realize they were right. 

Children who were toddlers the last time we saw them are suddenly full grown.

Neighborhoods we remember as quaint are now overrun with development.

People we loved are gone.

I’m grateful for this more mature outlook I have now. It’s made me even more determined to be sure I’m putting the most I can into my short time on this earth. 

Death is a part of life, and even if we fear it, we can get some value from its certainty. It can inspire us to love ourselves and others, to live by our values, and to leave things a little better than we found them. That includes staying as strong and healthy as we can.

I love a poem by Mary Oliver called “The Summer Day.” Her last lines sum it up so beautifully.

Doesn’t everything die at last, and too soon?

Tell me, what is it you plan to do

With your one wild and precious life?

Are you making the most of your one shot at this life?

What’s one thing you can do today to accelerate your happiness, fulfillment, or abundance? I’d love if you’d reply and let me know.

As I watch my mother slowly dying and letting go of her life, learning to accept this inevitability peacefully and daily, I am reminded of all the things I still desire to feel, see and do and the driving motivation is bigger than ever.

The best gift to give your loved ones

The best gift to give your loved ones

Every year, millions of us worry about finding the perfect gifts for all the people on our list. What to buy for him, where to shop for her, and how in the world will I find This Year’s Must-Have Toy???

And every DAY, millions of us say we’d love to take better care of our health, but we just can’t afford it.

Well, here’s a solution for all of that: Give them the gift of YOU.

Take the money you would spend on soon-to-be-forgotten presents and apply it instead to your own healthy living. Do you need:

  • A new gym membership?
  • Some workout clothes or shoes?
  • A coaching program to keep you accountable?
  • A cooking class, or nutrition program?

Let’s be honest – if you’re not taking care of you and maximizing the length and quality of your life, your loved ones will suffer long-term.

Gift-giving is about expressing love, and what better way to do it than by making the most of your body, mind and spirit on a daily basis? Plus, don’t you know they’d rather have you around longer – healthier and happier – than they’d like another sweater they’re never going to wear? 

You’re worth it.

YOU ARE. 

Happy shopping.

You’re BIG race is over, now what?

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset, Race Specific

You’re BIG race is over, now what?

The big day happened, what’s next?

After your big race or at the end of your triathlon season it’s a great idea to go back through all the race data and your race preparation and see what worked and what didn’t. 

Ideally, you are writing these details out within the first 48 hours after your race because your memory will fade about many things.

I recommend starting with looking at the actual race data and filling in the emotions and feelings about what went down.

I like to know the good things that worked and the things that sucked and everything in between.

I am not racing with my athletes so in order for us to work together to improve race performance I need to know how they feel during each section of the race and I can see from the data if they pushed as much as they were capable of physiologically or held back.

I can see from the data and the details about race conditions how well they handled everything and then see where we need to train differently to achieve the desired result on the next one.

It’s also extremely important to really feel into the accomplishment of just showing up at the start line and crossing the finish line, whatever the goal, that alone is a huge success.

So please take the time to celebrate yourself and your body and all that it is doing for you!

Triathlons are very logistical and due to the very nature of race, 3 sports in one there are so many things that can go right or wrong on race day.

This is easier if you are tracking your performance as I recommend with all my athletes.

We use Garmin and Training Peaks at Full Circle Coaching to help educate you about what parameters are important to measure and how to evaluate them.

It is actually pretty simple after you start to understand the why and the how.

Here is a short list of parameters you have control over as you train and race.

RPE- Rate of Perceived Exertion on a scale of 1-10
Pain Scale- 1-10
Heart Rate- Max and resting
Threshold Swim Pace/ 100
Swim Stroke Count/ lap
Bike Power, RPMS (revolutions/ minute)
Run Vo2 Max Pace, RPMS (footsteps/ minute)
Run Threshold Heart rate
Race Photos

All of these are measurable and controllable by you- notice I do not have speed listed on the bike because I don’t recommend training with speed that is a parameter that is out of your control.

If you are interested in learning more about how to train and race using simple data that starts with a heart rate monitor and a stop watch, I am opening 5 spots for my 4 month Triathlon Transformation Program.  Schedule a call with me now and let’s talk about it!

Addressing Holiday Excuses

Addressing Holiday Excuses

SUBJECT: [A RANT, WITH LOVE] I’m calling it out

I’m going to be brutally honest with you today, and I want you to know that this comes from a place of love. So, let’s dive in…

You know how it’s a common fact that everyone flocks to health + fitness in January only to abandon it by February?

Well, there’s more to it than that. It’s a year round issue.

Let me tell you the thought process I have seen as a professional in the
health/fitness/coaching industry for the past 23 years…

It’s summertime. Kids are out of school. Things are SO CRAZY that it’s too hard to commit to a fitness routine.

It’s autumn. Kids go back to school. There’s so much to organize and sports and routine, etc…

It’s the holiday season – the CRAZIEST time of year (in addition to summer and autumn). There’s no way anyone can possibly commit during the holidays! It’s just too busy and the food is too tempting. Plus, my family and friends really need my attention. And then, of course, I’ll
need a few weeks after the holidays to get my ducks in a row.

Ever been there?
Chances are the answer is “YES” if you’ve ever jumped on and off the commitment wagon.

And I feel REALLY compelled to call it out because this is such flawed thinking. It’s a story we tell ourselves that we end up believing. It makes it easier to put off taking care of our health and bodies and buy into our own excuses.

But what if your story changed?

What if your story became something more along the lines of “My body and my health are of the utmost importance to me, so I will create time for them 365 days a year.”

Because the truth is, we ALWAYS find time for the things that are truly important.

When we say we “don’t have time,” we are simply saying “it’s just not a priority.”

And that’s my rant.

According to the faulty logic I described above, there are really only about 3 months a year that aren’t “crazy” and where it’s “convenient” to focus on taking care of you…unless, of course, other circumstances pop up, as they always do.


Here’s the thing…

Your body and your health aren’t a sometimes project.

We put off the things we know we need to do until something happens – an injury, disease, or just finding ourselves deeply unhappy with the body we’ve created.

Instead of preventative care and maintenance for our health, we wait for things to get so bad we’re forced to finally do something.

That’s the state of many people who have believed the story about “too busy” and “seasons” and “the perfect time.”

Please KNOW that this message, though a slightly harsh reality check, is coming to you with love. I truly want to look you in the eyes, give you a warm hug, and let you know that I believe in you.

So, if you’re ready to write a new story for yourself, let me take you by the hand and show you the way…

Let’s have a real conversation about how you can take action and move forward for the final time so you never have to start over again. All you have to do is comment to this post or SCHEDULE A CALL WITH ME!

I’ve got you.
P.S. If you know someone who needs to hear this, please forward them this message.

It’s on You!

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset

It’s on You!

If you are a part of a training program or have a coach, most likely they have systems in place to help you be accountable to the goals you set for yourself.

If they don’t, it may be a little bit more difficult to stay on top of your training and be consistent.

Either way it’s all on you to be accountable to the commitment you made to achieve the goal that you set for yourself.

You shouldn’t have to be texted and called and constantly followed up with to be accountable to yourself.

Your coach should not be your baby sitter!

That might be hard to hear, and maybe you have invested in a coach that will nudge you a little more, but at the end of the day, the week, the month and the year, it’s all on you.

Coaches give you the tools you need to succeed.

My program has helped hundreds into the thousands do exactly this!

I provide the training plan, communication, motivation and support on a daily, weekly basis to allow my athletes to succeed IF they chose to do it is up to them.

I watch and see that it works time and again!

Pause today, and take a look at how many times you say you are going to do something and then you don’t, within the first 24 hours!

What is one action step you can take today to help you follow through on the commitment you made to yourself!

Do you need help with this?

Let me know… Schedule a call with me and let’s talk about it!

Spots are open for my coaching program that guarantees results!
Let’s get you set up for an Epic 2022, Now!

Choose Your Hard

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset, Nutrition

Choose Your Hard

Which of these ways to spend a typical evening sounds easy, and which sounds hard?

A) You could go home after work and enjoy pizza and Netflix, or
B) You could exercise and then eat a healthy dinner.

Well… Trick question, right?

You’re SUPPOSED to say that the first one sounds easier than the second one.

And, in an “immediate gratification” kind of way, you’d be right.

But we all know that there is NO EASY WAY. Every choice we make in life comes with some kind of cost.

It just comes down to what you want to sacrifice for the “easy” way.

Look, getting healthy is hard for people. I get it. You have to set new priorities and follow through on actions to support them.

That might include not eating whatever you want or doing whatever feels best right now.

It might mean learning new eating and spending habits. All can be hard.

But being unhealthy is even harder.

Over time, it brings problems that far outweigh taking it “easy” through life.

Over time, if you’re not eating right and exercising regularly, you’re more likely to have health problems like obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes.

You’ll become less able to do the things in life you enjoy. Your health care costs will steadily rise. And you’ll have missed out on all those countless opportunities to simply FEEL better, that come from healthy living.

So, it’s the “hard” path for me – health and happiness. Joining me?

I’m having a FREE facebook live event to help you learn how simple it is to choose what works. Join me for a “Nutrition Reset,” just before the holidays so you can prevent over doing it!
