What’s Holding You Back

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset

What’s Holding You Back?

You want to succeed, right? You have the desire to exercise and eat in a way that will cause you to gain health and get fit, don’t you?

So why is it SO HARD to actually make it happen?

When someone starts out gung-ho about a program or idea about changing their body, they’re often so excited that they overlook how truly challenging it will be. When someone embarks on a fitness program, they always need to write down tangible goals and then send them out into the universe for accountability.

What I believe is almost as important as setting the goals themselves is making a list of limiting factors – those things that will potentially hold you back and make achieving goals more difficult.

The ones I most often see are family and work. By identifying these limiting factors to begin with, you can come up with a plan for how to get around them so they do not hold you back. This pre-emptive step can truly make all the difference.

Once you’ve identified limiting factors and have set a plan for how to counter them, you should be set for success, right?

Well, again, it’s not that simple because you have to TAKE ACTION.

 

Here at Full Circle Coaching we give you EVERY SINGLE TOOL you need to be successful, but it is up to you to implement them. If you lose focus or the scale is moving too slowly for your liking, I want you to know that we are here for you and to support you 100%.

I want you to remember the big picture – what it will mean for you to look and feel better, live longer, and to have more energy for the things that are truly important in your life? We are here to recognize and support your efforts and to celebrate your success. Not only that, but I’m pretty sure we have the best community support possible!

If you want to really succeed, you can’t go it alone. Jump into this incredible program that we offer that encompasses all the areas you need for success: nutrition, fitness and triathlon training, accountability, community support, and so much more! I promise, it’s so worth it!

If you’re currently part of our community, I’d love for you to think of someone in your life who needs this support for their own transformation. Please invite them with you to your next workout. Here is one week FREE to try our classes out.

Never Give Your Power Away

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset

Never Give Your Power Away

Have you ever experienced a time in life where you let someone’s opinion of you change your thoughts, feelings, or behavior? Have you ever made choices that weren’t aligned with your desires but you did it anyway to keep someone else happy? Have you ever let what someone said about you alter your reality or make you question yourself?

 

These are experiences that most people go through many times throughout life. My goal today is to bring your awareness to what might be happening so you can choose something different.

 

You see, when you allow the words or expectations of others to impact your life in a way that makes you less happy, you are giving up your power.

 

The thing to remember is that you are 100% in control of your own happiness, fitness, abundance, and your whole life in general.

 

Anytime you let someone else take that control, you’re giving your power away.

 

If you consistently stand in and own your power, what do you think the result in your life will be? If you consistently give your power away, what will be the result?

 

The next time you feel yourself giving your power up to someone else’s thoughts, feelings, opinions, or desires, remember this message.

 

Choose to embrace your gift of personal power.

 

Wishing you well,
Coach Erinne Guthrie

A Rant: What is a Coach?

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset

A Rant: What is a Coach?

There’s something I need to get off my chest.

In the world of internet marketing it seems the meaning of the term “coach” has turned into the OPPOSITE of the reason I got into coaching in the first place.

This is a bit of a rant so be prepared…

It seems that nowadays you can take a quick course online or sign up to be a distributor for certain products, and you are then slapped with the prestigious title of COACH.

And here’s why I am NOT ok with that…

To me, coaching implies a deep understanding of the subject matter in which you coach. It implies education, experience, and a significant investment of time and money when it comes to crafting your expertise.

A coach illuminates the path for a client’s success. They deeply understand and empathize with the feelings and desires of their client. They ask meaningful questions that allow the client to step into a new, higher-level of self.

So, is someone who distributes a product or who took a test online truly a coach? In my opinion, no.

Some people won’t like this message, and that’s o.k. It’s important for me to put this message out into the world though so that people cannot only make educated decisions on who to work with when they hire a coach, but also, so I can distinguish what I believe is one of the most honorable professions in the world.

Here at Full Circle Coaching, we have a team of TRUE expert coaches who have lived and breathed what we do for years.  Over 21 years to be exact!

This Is Your Warning

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset

This Is Your Warning

We all get this one opportunity to live our very best life.

When we don’t grow, love, take care of ourselves, and live to our potential, we are squandering this one amazing opportunity we’ve been granted.

Comfort, fear, and scarcity rob us of what’s possible unless we consciously choose otherwise.

I bring this to you today because what humans on their deathbed know is that REGRET is the most damaging thing.

So, look at your life today. If you had only moments left to live, is there anything you’d regret?

Did you have true fulfillment in your life?

If the answer would be no, it’s time to do something about it, to make a change.

If that “no” has anything to do with your health and body, I’d love to know more.
Please reply, and let me know what is coming up for you either way!

 

Wishing you well,
Coach Erinne Guthrie

Rockstar Triathlete: Nina Mandel

by fullcircle, posted in ROCKSTARS

Rockstar Triathlete: Nina Mandel
“Loves the attention she gets from our coaches and feels the benefits.”

Coach’s Notes:
Nina is a super strong triathlete that just needed some video analysis and testing to prove to herself she was improving. Sometimes it has nothing to do with strength and power but where you apply the strength and power and how mobile you are through a range of motion that allows for the best hydro and aero-dynmaics and performances.  We have also used the training zones we created through the field testing we did and trained all her aerobic systems to fine tune her 70.3 pacing. Now we are on to IMFL if Hurricane Michael has not prevented us from getting there. But just as you PR’d across the board at your last 70.3- you will PR at your next Ironman- Guaranteed! Can’t wait to see that smile on your face across the finish line NINA!!!!

Age:
56

Profession:
Lawyer

Why you chose FCC to help you on your triathlon/health and wellness journey? 
I wanted to work with Erinne because I wanted a coach who would really pay attention to my challenges and help me grow as a triathlete.

What is your “A” race for this season?
Ironman Florida

Please share your BIG goals: 
My biggest goal is to complete the Ironman swim feeling confident, which will make my bike and run better.   I’m hoping for 14 hours total, but that’s less important than the goal of finishing strong.

Tell me about your successes so far:
I started racing in 2014 with Escape to Miami Sprint, and since then I have done Olympics, 6 70.3’s and 3 Full IMs.  Every time I struggled in the swim.  So far I’ve only had one race this year, IM 70.3 Atlantic City, and for the first time I felt good getting out of the water – no panic attacks or need to stop and hang on to the lifeguards.  It made my day and I felt strong through the rest of the race.

What were some of your biggest Improvements in performance for the each of the following? Swim: Bike: Run: Nutrition/Health: Please include any Personal Records and Goals achieved:
I PR’d in Atlantic City 70.3  in all three legs.

Name 2 or 3 things that have made the biggest difference in your journey:
1.  One-on-one coaching in the swim has helped me work on the many facets of swimming – I had many form issues and I’m working to correct them.

2.  Previously I did a lot of training on my own, but I have found the long rides with teammates who push each other to be very helpful in improving my bike performance, as well as having a good time.

3.  Consistency – Full Circle has training sessions going on almost every day.

What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon?
It feels terrific to be strong, to train and compete with people of all ages.  I believe the insanity of pushing oneself actually can help keep us sane.

What would you say to another person who was on the fence about joining our training program?
Training with coaches who pay attention to your individual performance is a totally different experience.  You can feel the difference after every workout.  Makes you want to show up.

P.S.

Rockstar Triathlete: Priscilla Westfield Quest to Become a Professional Triathlete

by fullcircle, posted in ROCKSTARS

Rockstar Triathlete: Priscilla Westfield

Coach’s Comments:
I feel honored to be working with Priscilla on her quest to become the first African American professional triathlete.

Her love of going as hard as you can at every training session and race is awesome, but can get you into trouble. This is actually where we are working. To have a build, peak and recovery for her races and choose races to help her accomplish her goals and set new personal records will be what it takes for her success.

Her work ethic to get in the hard training and recovery necessary are what impresses me most. She is always up for the challenge of the training even when she questions it at first. It’s not just about the training but the logistics of having a periodized training plan that has a purpose are going to make the difference in her success.  Lets do this Girl- You Got This! – Coach Erinne

Age:
34

Profession:
Wife, Mommy, Summer Head Swim Coach and Sub-Fitness Instructor for the local YMCA.

Why you chose FCC to help you on your triathlon/health and wellness journey?
I chose FCC to assist me on my triathlon/health and wellness journey because I was AMAZED at the wealth of knowledge, motivation, and accountability demonstrated at one of the workshops I attended. Triathlon isn’t just a sport, but a venue to associate the lessons learned to life. FCC helps me stay disciplined, which inevitable spills over into my day-to-day life choices.

What is your “A” race for this season?
My “A” race this season would be ALL of them… No race will ever be perfect, but within each race are amazing learning opportunities, not to mention meeting tons of AWESOME people!!

Please share your BIG goals:
One of my BIG goals is to become the first Black Professional Triathlete

Tell me about your successes so far:
For my first year of training in the sport of triathlon, I have competed in several races this season:
Miami Mack Cycle Tri (1st AG)
Dare to Tri, Ft. Gordon (1st in AG)
Skidaway Tri in Savannah, GA. (1st Overall Female)
Jacksonville Tri Series (1st AG, 2nd Overall, 1st Overall, and Series Winner)
ITU Draft-Legal Sprint Distance World Championships in Gold Coast Australia (19th AG)
First time 70.3 Ironman in Augusta, GA. (12th in AG; 59th Div)

What were some of your biggest Improvements in performance for the each of the following? Swim: Bike: Run: Nutrition/Health: Please include any Personal Records and Goals achieved:
The biggest improvements for me (HANDS DOWN) would be nutrition/health. Prior to training with Full Circle, I ate whatever I wanted. Now, instead of living to eat, I eat to live. I’m am more cautious about what I eat. I ask myself, “Is this going to benefit my body in some way?” If the answer is no, I save it for my treat days.

Name 2 or 3 things that have made the biggest difference in your journey:
1. Nutrition
2. Accountability
3. Surrounding myself with encouraging and supportive people

What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon?
The adrenaline of the race! Fighting through the water, flying at high rates of speed down a hill, and digging deep at the end for sure!

What would you say to another person who was on the fence about joining our training program?
Life is short… DO IT!

When Your Race Sucked

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset, Race Specific

What to do when your race sucked.

So you had a terrible race, now what?

This situation can be even more painful for a half  or full IRONMAN due to the amount of time and money invested to even just get to the starting line.

When the results turn out terrible, it’s time to take a real hard look at your training log over the previous 2-3 months leading up to the race. Now sometimes there are situations that are out of your control, like tacks on the road, bad weather etc. But you can usually prevent most of your races from going south.

 

You need to look and be honest with yourself. Did you really put in the volume and intensity that your training program called for? Did you do those hard intervals that your coach had in your Training Peaks? Did you hit the minimums for long course racing that include 3 swims, 3 bikes, 4 runs and 2 strength sessions per week? Did you train on similar terrain and conditions to your race?  Long course racing is no joke, and it’s hard for me to see my own athletes struggle on course as I watch my IM Tracker.

 

My goal as a coach is to actually make  training  a little bit  harder than the race will be so that you can handle all the race day stress and logistics; saying to yourself, “So that’s why she made me do 25 bridge repeats, etc.”

It takes a lot of mental and physical fortitude to toe the line at a triathlon (long course and short course)  believe it or not. You hear people talk about it like its no big deal. But, not everyone comes out of the womb swimming, biking and running!

If you have not been challenged and had to work hard to overcome set backs in your training, success on race day is unlikely. It’s really all about the journey and race day is the test. Did you do your homework? Most of the time all the reasons why your race sucked are right there in the training log, where you skipped that swim, bike, or run. Decided to take 10 days off instead of two, eat pizza and drink beer.

If you made the commitment to sign up for the triathlon race, you might as well do everything you can to get it right! Listen to your coach!

So now, I know you are super motivated to get it right next time! Recover well, write out the whole painful experience, so you can look back before your next race and remember not to let that happen again!!!!

Happy Racing!!!

Wishing you well,
Coach Erinne

I’m About to Blow Your Mind

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Nutrition

I’m about to blow your mind…

O.K. are you ready for this?  This is so crazy!
Research shows that what you believe to be TRUE about foods largely determines how foods affect your body.
There was a study done where two groups of participants were given the SAME milkshake, but one group was told that it was ‘a 620 calorie indulgent shake’ while the other group was told it was a ‘120 calorie diet shake.’
The result was mind-blowing.
Those who believed they were drinking the indulgent shake felt more full and reported feeling how you’d expect someone to feel after a high calorie meal.
The other group did not report the same appetite suppression or feelings of fullness.
This goes on to widely apply to how foods affect our bodies over the long-term. If we believe we’re making ourselves fat despite consistent good choices, there’s a chance your thoughts can actually make that a reality.
And this is precisely why you can’t carry guilt with you over foods you eat. When you’re making the right choices 80% of the time, there’s no need to feel guilty about your 20% foods.
As this study shows, that negative thought process can actually have a greater negative impact on your body than the food itself.  So, consider this next time you go to beat yourself up over a “wrong” choice.
I hope this is as fascinating to you as it is to me! Hit reply and share your thoughts or if you’ve ever experienced this phenomenon yourself!
Yours in Health,
Coach Erinne Guthrie

Time Isn’t The Issue

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset

Time Isn’t The Issue

Here at FULL CIRCLE COACHING, we’ve most often seen TIME cited as the biggest challenge for people around sticking to a fitness and nutrition program.

 

But you see, time as the obstacle is simply a myth.

 

I get that you are busy. So is the rest of the world. And every person thinks they are simply the busiest one.

 

So, why is it that some people are able to make time for health and fitness and others are not?

 

Simply put, it’s an issue of priority.

 

It takes no more time to consume a healthy meal than an unhealthy one. And it takes simple rearrangement, scheduling, and commitment to make fitness happen.

 

You can pick up healthy fast food as quickly as unhealthy fast food.

 

When it comes to exercise, instead of saying “I don’t have time,” we should rather say “it’s not a priority for me right now.” Because that’s the more accurate and hard truth.

 

Take an honest look at yourself. Are you currently prioritizing fitness and nutrition or are you falling victim to the time excuse?

 

We’ve helped so many clients overcome this! Once you fall in love with what we do here at FULL CIRCLE COACHING, you see your body start to change, and you become part of our amazing community, you’ll always find the time!

 

Are you falling victim to time? Hit reply, and let me know so that I can give you some support!
