It’s All About Action Not Motivation

It’s All About Action Not Motivation

Have you heard the expression, “Fake it till you make it” and wondered what that meant?

It’s simple (and super-helpful).

It just means that you need to do the right thing for yourself, whether you feel like it or not.

When we’re talking about making healthy choices, you can’t always wait until you’re “motivated” or you might be waiting a long time.

Novelists don’t wait till they’re “motivated” or inspired. They get up and write every day.
Olympic athletes train every day, even when they don’t want to.
And you have to suit up and show up for your workouts and other healthy choices even when you’re more motivated only to get back in bed.

In order to reach your goals, should you wait till you feel like doing the work – or buckle down and get it done, knowing you’ll feel so much better when it’s done?

There’s really no choice.

Invest in YOU

Invest in YOU

We can all say we’d like to make certain changes in our lives. But change is hard sometimes.

It’s one thing to say you want transformation, but another to actually make it happen.

Really bringing about change requires investments that most people are simply unwilling to make.

It takes time, money and energy to transform any area of your life. Simply put, it doesn’t come easy.

But here’s the way to look at it:

As an investment.

Yep, every time you take a right action to reach a goal, you’re investing in yourself.

You’re increasing the chances you’ll succeed.

You’re paying your future self with sacrifice and dedication that will pay off in time.

For example, You might not want to eat healthy or exercise every day.

But you know that each healthy meal and each workout is improving your quality of life, today and in the future. And it will all pay off one day in the same way – whether with a short-term goal like losing weight for summer, signing up for your first triathlon, or the long-term goal of staying healthy as you age.

Besides, “instant gratification” is so overrated. Invest in yourself! Success will be so much richer because you did.

Rockstar Triathlete: Camila Lupi has Fallen in Love!

June 10, 2022February 13, 2024 by fullcircle, posted in ROCKSTARS

Rockstar Triathlete: Camila Lupi

Coach’s Notes:

So incredibly proud of Camila over the last 6 months. She went from never completing a triathlon ever, to getting on the podium in two short course races and finishing top 10 in her age group last weekend at the Hawaii 70.3 as part of my Triathlon Transformation Training Program.

When she first started we had lots of skills and technique work to teach as well as strength, mobility and nutrition, to dial in for her best performances. Since Camila travels a lot, she had the foundation she needed to keep training with specificity despite not always being with the group in Miami.

Also the amount of fitness and strength gained at Ultimate Tri Camp in March was a game changer.

Way to go Camila! You are truly a Rockstar Triathlete. I cannot wait to see what’s next for you.

Age:

Profession:

Active travel guide

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

I used to train with FCC a few years back for running only. From that experience, I knew how much Erinne and the coaches knew about the sport and really agreed with the way the coaching program focused on technique, form, and “training smarter, not harder.”

I didn’t know anything about triathlon when I decided to start, so I knew a coaching program that could get me into the sport properly and teach me how to train correctly and smartly was the best choice!

What is your “A” race for this season?

My “A” race was Hawaii Ironman 70.3 last weekend – figuring out what the next A race is.

Please share your BIG goals:

Get better, stronger, and faster in the sport of triathlon – break 6 hours for a 70.3 and do a full Ironman.

Tell me about your successes so far:

Just starting triathlon and racing have been huge successes for me. I did my first three races this year and placed very well in all of them, getting a podium spot on my first two.

My big goal was to complete an Ironman 70.3 and I just succeeded in crossing the finish line there!

I’ve improved in each of the three sports. “I’d say my biggest success is falling in love with the sport of triathlon” and truly wanting to turn it into a lifestyle.

What were some of your biggest improvements in performance for the each of the following? swim, bike, run, and nutrition/health. Please include any Personal Records and Goals achieved:

I got better in all three sports.

I Improved my swim technique a ton and felt way more comfortable in the water.

On the bike, I’m slowly conquering my fear of descents after a bike crash last year, which helped me improve my speeds and times in races. I was able to average 20mph during my first olympic distance race that included the Key Biscayne bridge.

My run times improved. My first mile test back in December was 7:09. My mile a few months later at the beginning of April was 6:29. I was able to hold paces under 8:30 min/mile for sprint and olympic distance races.

I placed third female overall in my first ever triathlon (a sprint distance). I placed first in my age group on my first olympic distance triathlon. Most recently, I placed 10th in my age group in my first Ironman 70.3 in Hawaii.

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

People. Being around other inspiring and motivating triathletes. Hearing about their journeys, struggles, and successes. Having people to train with. Having people supporting you before and at races.
Proper nutrition and strength training

What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon?

Chasing goals. I’ve been an athlete my entire life and there’s nothing like having a big goal and working hard until you reach it. Triathlon is one of the most, if not the most, challenging sports there is.

I love that I never get bored because I get to train three different sports. I love being around triathletes because we all just want to push ourselves to our limits and believe we can accomplish big goals.

The sport teaches me to never doubt myself. It has shown me what I’m capable of, physically yes, but more importantly, mentally.

I notice that I’m able to translate that into other areas of my life, chasing goals and believing in myself no matter what I set out to do.

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

If you want to get into triathlon, have a big dream or goal you’re not sure you can reach, having coaches who know the right way to train and have years of experience in the sport, and having a support group and amazing community like Full Circle Coaching is the best way to do it. Give it a few weeks, maybe even days, and you won’t doubt your decision.

It’s a really inspiring group to be a part of and you’ll learn A LOT.

Don’t Get Fit for Summer

June 9, 2022June 9, 2022 by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset

Don’t Get Fit for Summer

Summer is such a powerful time. It’s packed full of emotions and memories that can affect our mindset and mood.

We all have nostalgia around summer with the sights and smells and that feeling of being free.

You know that healthy habits key to living your best lives in the sun, to enjoying friends, family and travel – and, yes, to looking your best.

But remember that your core, long-term commitment is more important in the long run than any seasonal stimulation or motivation. It comes from within, from knowing your “why” – and it’s truly the most powerful thing.

Which is why I want to say – don’t get fit for summer. Commit to fit for life.

So, take a moment now to look within yourself and recall your main motivation for leading a healthy lifestyle.

Maybe you want to get leaner so you look, feel and move better.
Maybe you want to improve athletic performance – or your ability to keep up with the kids.
Maybe your commitment to healthy living has taken root in your identity, and you want to keep nurturing it all year long.
Maybe you are ready to sign up for a triathlon or Ironman

It doesn’t matter what it is – no judgment here.

Take a moment to pause and be grateful for how far you’ve come so far this year.

You’ve earned a moment in the sun, for sure. Keep the power of your “why” close by for now and for when the days get shorter this fall.

You got this!

Visualize your ideal self

Visualize Your Ideal Self

I want you to visualize your ideal self.

The point of this exercise is all about manifestation – about bringing your ideal self into your physical reality. Which you can only do once you’re crystal clear on who you are.

Really think about it, focusing on various aspects of who you are and who you want to be, and then sit down with pen and paper.

Here are some questions to get your juices flowing. Remember to think positively about yourself in this.

Envision a specific point in the future. Imagine as fully as you can what things look like, taste like, smell like, etc. Use all your senses.

Go somewhere quiet where you’ll have some nice, quiet “alone time” to journal it out.

Don’t rush.

And remember, we’re talking IDEAL, here. So no pooh-poohing yourself!

OK. Let’s go.

First, who are you? Make a quick inventory of identifiers. Like, “Woman. American. Wife. Husband, Daughter, Triathlete.” Etc.
Now add similar labels to which you aspire. Something like, “Mom. Runner. Chef, Ironman”
What do you do well? What do you enjoy? How can you develop those skills more?
Next, how does your ideal self think? What does she or he believe? Try something like, “I make decisions calmly and rationally, but I never forget the importance of heart and emotion. I feel centered and generous. I believe life is good and I am blessed.”
How do you feel and look? “I feel positive about the future and grateful for what I have,” perhaps… Or, “I look my best, due to healthy habits of eating right, exercising and managing stress.”
Where are you geographically? Do you live in Paris, or a remote cabin in the woods, by the beach or hometown.
Are you creative? Retired? Wealthy?
Are you in love? Happily single?
Did you achieve goals in your personal life, social life, and professional life? What were they? How do you imagine looking back on them?

Then practice daily visualization as a part of your routine: Sit down, close your eyes, and imagine your ideal self as thoroughly as you can.

It’s not only psychologically empowering, but it helps rewire your brain to manifest these emotions and desires. It’s good for anxiety and self-esteem, and for planning and goal-setting.

Athletes have known for generations that if they can visualize themselves winning, it prepares their mindset for victory.

I have all my athletes imagine their perfect race days and I myself am visualizing daily my successful RAAM (Ride Across America). I also do this daily for my personal and business life.

CEOs do it with business challenges.

Actors do it with playing roles.

You can do the same. And I am here to help.

Are you going to do this exercise with me? Let me know!

Mental skills are a huge part of my Triathlon Transformation Program.

I have 5 spots open to finish out the year just as you are imagining!
