Gifts from Covid-19

Gifts from Covid-19

At first glance, the death, devastation, and destruction in so much of the world seems like (and is) absolute tragedy.

No one wanted this.
We would wish it away if we could.
But we can’t.
And therefore, we must choose to seek the good in it.

Whether it’s more time with your family, more focus on a healthy routine, rethinking what you want for your future, using being laid off to build that business you’ve been dreaming of…

Whatever the case may be, there are amazing things that are coming from this whole experience that not one of us ever saw coming.

There are new, incredible possibilities opening for you if you choose to look for them.

For me, it’s been the realization that the present moment is all that truly matters.

“BE HERE NOW” is my daily mantra.

Being with those I care about as much as possible and living my purpose of helping others find their joy in health, fitness and wellness through the sport of triathlon whether there is a race or not is my present moment.

And for this awareness I’m incredibly grateful.

Finding gratitude in everything, even the ugly things, keeps us sane and moving forward.

It’s a choice we get to make.
I’d love to hear from you on this, reply and let me know.

Do You Make this Fatal Mistake?

Do You Make this Fatal Mistake?

When it comes to training for triathlon, health, fitness, and wellness, there’s no one size fits all, despite what the many gurus want you to believe.

At the end of the day, finding a methodology that will work for you long-term is absolutely key. But there’s a very common fatal mistake many people make when it comes to finding a long-term eating and fitness strategy…

They get distracted by flashy new ideas.

They become program hoppers always in search of more, of better. I call this the “BBD” always searching for the “Bigger Better Deal.”

I’m not saying you shouldn’t do some testing and find what works for you. Not at all.

But I see program hoppers continuing to hop around because they never give anything their ALL.

They might give it 30, 50, or even 80% but never 100% before they decide something’s not for them.

Because Beth started selling protein shakes that’ll instantly take 3 inches off your waist. Or because Bob found a miracle in cabbage and suddenly the plan changes instead of giving it enough time to work for you.

So, my advice to you is to find something that gets you results supported by an experienced educated coach so that you don’t keep running on that hamster wheel of program hopping.

O.k.?

And, if you’re guilty of program hopping and you’re tired of spinning your wheels, let’s talk. Comment below and let me know, and I’ll take it from there.

The #1 Thing for Changing your Body

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Nutrition

The #1 Thing For Changing Your Body

Whether you want to change the health of your body, the appearance of your body, or anything else about it, there’s one main thing that’s required…
It’s not rigid dieting.
It’s not workouts that leave you pushing beyond your level of fitness and getting hurt.
It’s not any crazy supplements or pills.
It’s the thing that most people struggle with when it comes to reaching ANY goal – not just body-related ones.

It’s this unsexy, not flashy thing called…
CONSISTENCY.

That’s right – practicing the same behaviors and habits over and over again lead to results for better or for worse.

I normally don’t post BODY SHOTS of myself, but I decided to for this post because I am turning 50 in a few days and I want to show people how simple it is to be healthy and look good at any age with CONSISTENCY in exercise and eating healthy and a positive mindset. It’s really so simple.

If you consistently eat well all week only to binge on the weekends, you won’t ever see change.

If you consistently eat poorly and fail to exercise, you’ll be overweight, unhealthy, and miserable with how you look.

If you consistently eat well, move your body, and indulge moderately, your body and health will start to change for the better. I’m living proof of this along with many many of my clients.

Diets don’t work because they’re nearly impossible to stay consistent with – just like hardcore killer workout plans.

You’ve gotta be willing to find a plan for you that you can remain consistent with – THIS IS THE PATH TO RESULTS!

If you’d like help with a customized plan based on your ultimate goals and dreams for what you want to look like for health and fitness please message me or click this link to schedule a Break Through Session with me.

Based on your past experiences, does this make sense?
Be sure to comment and let me know!

Show and Tell!

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset

Show and Tell!

Way back in the day, I remember show & tell being one of my favorite days in school.

The thing I want to show and tell about is my passion for my Full Circle Coaching community.  I’ve been building this tribe for over 10 years, and I am super proud of how far we’ve come and where we are right now.

I’m a big believer in “like attracting like” and “practicing what I preach” by being an example to others. This is how I’ve been able to grow and thrive in this community, even in the situation we’re in right now as well as, watching each and every one of my members grow.

I thrive on keeping up the joy, happiness and inspiration of what triathlon and healthy living can do for your life and bringing this happiness to others. 

Practicing being here and now, by focusing on what we do have control over in our daily lives, how we show up, what we are thinking, what we eat and our daily training habits can have a huge impact on ourselves and the world around us.

I can’t wait to hear what you want to show and tell with me!

So, wanna play?

I want to know the thing you are most proud of or most passionate about!

So, reply to this post in the comments below a picture of that thing and tell me why you’re proud of or passionate about it!

I truly want us to get to know each other, I can’t wait to see yours!

It’s Not About You

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset, Nutrition

It’s Not About You

People want to make changes and get healthy all of the time.

They lose weight only to regain it.

They fail to start Monday after Monday.

They end up sick because they said “tomorrow” too many times.

Whether it’s giving into cravings/temptation, being too mentally exhausted by the end of the day to exercise, or you really struggle with things like food addictions or emotional eating, there are plenty of reasons people struggle with getting healthy.

At the end of the day, you have to remember this: IT’S NOT ABOUT YOU.

Well, of course, it’s your health, so in part, it is.

But who else does your health affect?

Your spouse/ partner, kids, or grand-kids?

Your co-workers?

Your friends?

Your health affects everyone in your life.

What are the consequences those people in your life would face if something happened to you… something that was preventable by focusing on improving health?

Motivation is such a fleeting thing.

Often, it’s something you have to create for yourself. If you’re struggling to make the choices you know are critical for your health, think of the people you’re making them for. I hope that does the trick.

Tips for Losing Weight While Eating Out

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Nutrition

Tips for Losing Weight While Eating Out

So many people think that starting or “being good” on a weight loss journey involves giving up dining out.

And that is simply NOT true!

Sure, you can control what’s in your food way more at home, but it doesn’t mean that going out – even a few times a week – is off the table.

Here are 10 principles that you can easily follow that will continue to support your health and fitness goals:

  1. Decide before you go – looking at the menu ahead of time and making a healthy choice can be a game changer. That way, you don’t even have to open the menu and face temptation.
  2. Whatever protein you order, make sure it’s grilled, baked, or broiled.
  3. If you’re having an appetizer, choose a salad with olive oil based dressing.
  4. Order all sauces and dressings on the side.
  5. Indulge in one thing only – either a glass of wine or a few bites of a dessert or bread.
  6. Ask for vegetables to come steamed or roasted.
  7. Drink a good amount of water before arriving to the restaurant and when you sit down to curb hunger.
  8. Ask for the “extras” like bread, chips, etc. not be brought to the table.
  9. Don’t feel guilty asking for substitutions.
  10. Don’t feel pressure to eat all of your food – it’s o.k. to have leftovers!

I love going out to eat as much as the next person, so I hope that these guidelines help you enjoy that part of life while still staying on track with your health and fitness!

And as always, if you know you need more support, guidance, and accountability, I got you. Hit reply, and let me know. I’ll be in touch with ya ASAP!

When You Just Don’t Wanna

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset

When You Just Don’t Wanna

We’ve all been there.

An alarm clock ringing too early.

Complete physical and mental exhaustion after a long day.

That moment when you simply can’t bear the thought of getting your workout or training in.

Those are the moments that we typically cave.

When we give ourselves permission to say “tomorrow” and the cycle repeats.

To make it even worse, it’s also usually the scenario that involves making quick, convenient, and often less than healthy food choices.

This cycle causes consistent weight gain, poor health, no fitness and months or years of shame and frustration.

It leads you down a road that can be incredibly hard to return from.

So, I want to tell you what will make all the difference when you have that experience of just NOT wanting to…

DO IT ANYWAY!.

Because hitting snooze and sleeping in or driving to the gym/ pool , or getting on your bike vs home after work is all a choice.

The key to serious success in most areas of life is feeling resistance and pushing through it anyway.

Because pretty much everything that’s going to give you life-changing results is hard work.

If it was supposed to be easy, everyone would be a triathlete, healthy, strong, fit, successful, in a great relationship, etc.

So, the next time that resistance pops up for you, OWN your choice, feel the resistance, and do it anyway.

P.S. Often the key difference between someone who is successful and someone who continues hitting the snooze button on life is having support and accountability. That’s exactly what I do. If you’re ready for different results in your life, hit reply and let me know. I’ll take it from there.

You’re in the Collective

You’re in the Collective

I can say with confidence that 2020 has, to date, been the strangest year I’ve ever lived through.

I have a feeling you might agree.

More than ever before, humans are sharing a common experience – everywhere all over the world.

Our lives have been changed forever. There is fear and uncertainty everywhere.

We are ALL affected.

It’s impossible not to be.

For some people, this has caused a divide. For others, it’s brought people closer together.

Without expectation or judgement, I just want to share with you today that I am with you in this whole strange experience. That I have chosen to engage fully in this collective we are in as humanity.

It does no good to be angry, resist, or judge others.

Coming together in times of crisis, showing more love and support, and getting through it together…I truly believe that’s what the world needs and is our only path forward.

More understanding.

More compassion.

More empathy.

More love.

Are you with me?

Own Your Choices

Own Your Choices

Anytime someone says to me “It’s so hard to eat healthy!” I get it.
There’s temptation everywhere.
You are busy and want convenience.
Other people might not have the same goals as you if those goals are around improving health or weight loss.

But I gotta tell you the truth…
Choosing to eat healthy isn’t hard.

You kinda already know what to do.
You know salad is a better option than potato chips.

You know when you’re eating out, the grilled chicken is a better choice than the fried chicken.

So then, why do you think it’s so hard?

There are 2 reasons:

  1. We are, as humans, wired to crave fatty, salty, and sweet – those are just things that our pallets like.
  2. “It’s hard” is a story you have told yourself for so long you actually believe it.

    Choosing the healthier option is actually quite easy if you think about it.

    Committing to always putting the better choice into your mouth will have drastic results.

    So, start telling yourself a different story today.

    When you say or think “it’s hard” just remember how easy it actually is – it’s just a matter of following through, my friend. 🙂

    Let me know if you agree with this.

P.S. And of course if you need support, guidance, and accountability to make sure you follow through, we’re here for you.

Here’s a free gift – that can actually help you choose better.

Are You the Driver or the Passenger?

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset

Are You the Driver or the Passenger?

There are two primary ways people handle themselves in their own lives. One person is the passenger. They allow others and outside factors to steer the direction of their lives. To dictate what happens to them, where they go, how they feel, where they end up at the end of their days.

The other type is the driver. The driver knows what they want, goes after it, and doesn’t allow anyone else or anything stand between them and the life they’re going to build, and everyone around them benefits as a result of their commitment.

Most people are passengers for a million and one different reasons.
Drivers are far more rare. They’re not ever too busy to take care of themselves and ensure their family also has their needs met.

They’re focused and determined and seemingly “have it all.” And simultaneously, they experience deep happiness and fulfillment because as the driver, it’s what they’ve chosen and created.

One isn’t better than the other – that’s not what this is about. But the driver tends to make more out of life. And the beautiful part of all of this is that we get to CHOOSE if we’re the passenger or the driver.

It’s never coincidence, although often we don’t realize the choice. So, my friend… have you been living as the passenger or the driver in your own life?

No judgement either way.

And based on this analogy, is there anything you’d like to do differently?

I’d love to hear from you, reply below and share with me.
