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.

6 Ways To Transform Your Life

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset

6 Ways To Transform Your Life

If you want to experience a truly extraordinary life, this message is for you.

And it’s not about quitting your job and frolicking off to foreign lands (although if that’s your goal, power to you)!

It’s about making small and easy choices each day that add up to a massive up-level.

I talk a lot about growth because I truly believe it’s something most humans desire but get wrapped up in life obligations and being “too busy” to really prioritize.

So, here’s a quick list of suggestions for things you can do that will literally transform you and your life:

  1. Walk more while growing mentally. Sounds so simple, right? The mental growth part has to do with listening to podcasts, books, YouTube videos… whatever interests you. But this is an incredible opportunity for you to both MOVE and expand your mind. I use Audible and love the ease of listening while driving.
  2. Replace television with books. Reading is becoming a lost art for so many people. And I get that most of us are mentally tapped out by the end of the day, but reading can be incredibly pleasurable and it changes your mind in ways that TV just can’t.
  3. Take up a new skill or hobby. Whether you’ve wanted to learn how to be a better cook, volunteer at an animal shelter, or pick back up the writing you used to do in college, taking up new skills and hobbies is so good for the human mind and experience.
  4. Reconnect with people from your past. It’s easier than ever for us to lose touch with people we were once close to. Everything seemingly happens for the sake of “busy” these days. But we know that having strong relationships and connection is one of the things that fundamentally makes life better for people. And we all know that life is short. You never know when you might not be able to call that person again – so, don’t put it off any longer.
  5. Travel more. Seeing the world and experiencing other cultures is one of the number one ways to grow yourself. It might be something you’d love to do or something totally out of your comfort zone. Either way, once you travel, you’ll never see the world the same way.
  6. Spend time alone. Doing things alone – especially publicly is a massive transformational edge for many people. It might seem impossible to find that time or uncomfortable to go to dinner by yourself, but becoming at peace with solitude and comfortable in who you are without the company of others is a game-changer.

So, are you currently practicing any of the above?

Which do you feel would really push your growth edge and change your life for the better? I’d love for you to share with me – reply below and let me know!

The Hateful Eight

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Nutrition

The Hateful Eight

Dr. Cate Shanahan has been extremely vocal, especially since the pandemic hit about the havoc seed oils are wreaking on the human body. She’s one of the topic metabolic experts in the world, and she knows a thing or two about how the human body functions.

Before processed food was a thing less than 100 years ago, fat made up a huge portion of the human diet.

But it was natural fats that do our bodies good – from animals and plants. Since the low-fat crazes in the 1980s, we’ve been gradually eliminating naturally occurring fats from foods and replacing them with unnatural, toxic, chemical-laden oils and sugars.

Dr. Shanahan calls these oils specifically “The Hateful Eight,” and she recommends avoiding them at all costs to reduce toxicity and inflammation in the body, and thereby, reduce your risk of metabolic diseases like diabetes.

And she even believes cutting these oils will enable to you to combat the Coronavirus with much more ease.

The problem is that these oils are in TONS of prepackaged foods from salad dressing to bread to processed foods to foods prepared in restaurants.

Whether you attempt to avoid these oils entirely or simply start taking a closer look at labels to reduce your consumption, I wanted to provide this quick list for you today from her website drcate.com to increase your awareness and enable you to make informed decisions for yourself.

These oils are:

  1. Soy oil
  2. Sunflower oil
  3. Safflower oil
  4. Canola oil
  5. Corn oil
  6. Cottonseed oil
  7. Hydrogenated oil
  8. Refined palm oil

6 Keys to Body Fat Loss

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Nutrition

Keys to Body Fat Loss

Sometimes common sense isn’t so common.

That’s why we’re always looking for an easier way, the magic bullet if you will.

That’s why we get sucked into diet pills and cabbage soup diets, and why the diet industry grows by the minute.

Because we just want there to be that * perfect * solution. The one that allows us to reach our body goals without so much effort and without giving up what we love.

But in order to change, something does have to give.

You simply can’t do what you’ve always done and create new results.

Conversely, it doesn’t have to be over complicated either (contrary to what the diet industry would like you to believe).

My current triathlete in training (seen in the before/after image) states the following:
“I was around 180 pounds when I started with coach Erinne; taking prescription Omeprazole every day for reflux/heartburn. I have not taken any heart burn medicine in the over a year (since I started your program) and my weight is down to 150 pounds. – Richard Gomez

If you’re struggling with losing body fat, here are a few simple things that will help you progress (no fad diets required)…

  1. Chose more nutrient dense foods that fill you up so you don’t need the filler foods to feel satisfied.
  2. Lift some weights! Adding lean muscle to your body increases how many calories your body burns every day, even at rest, and it sets your metabolism on fire.
  3. Eat enough clean protein (wild caught seafood, free range organic meats and poultry) and good fats (Raw organic nuts, avocados, olive and coconut oils)
  4. Eat way more fibrous carbs (fruits and veggies) than starchy carbs (bread, rice, etc)
  5. Drink calorie-free beverages like water, mineral water, organic tea or coffee only but no synthetic or chemical ingredients.
  6. Stay consistent and don’t give up!

It truly is that simple.

If you’ve been struggling for a while with this, I’d love to help.

I’ll be hosting a new program teaching my tribe how to eat and live for health, nutrition and immune system boosting. If this is something that you want to be included in or learn more about, please enter your name in the comments below.

Ugly Things Can Have Beautiful Outcomes

Ugly Things Can Have Beautiful Outcomes

Death, sickness, having our lives turned upside down, wearing face masks in public…

No one saw this global pandemic changing “normal” as we knew it.

None of those things are positive, and the havoc this virus has imposed on so many is purely devastating. But there is another side to this. A beautiful side.

One of the incredible things that has come out of the virus for many people is that they’ve begun desiring something different. They’ve started to rethink how they’re living, how they’re doing business, and how they’re showing up in the world. And they’ve realized that much more is available to them…

More love & connection, more opportunities to contribute & give back, more opportunities to earn money, and so much more…

I myself have made some important shifts about what is truly important in my life. Time with my daughter and family, relationships with friends and the realization that my personal health needs to come first.

I can be successful and help others and be of service but my health absolutely has to come first for me to be able to be my creative best self and I’m so happy to have had this time to reflect and grow myself.

We can’t always choose the things that happen to us, but we can choose how we think about and react to everything. So, my friend, have you started thinking about what else is possible for you as a result of these crazy times?

I’d love it if you’d share with me!
