Summary

Some of you may know that I recently held a free No Excuses New Year Transformation Challenge. 

And because the live trainings were so powerful for so many, I decided to share them with you as bonus episodes in the Life Unleashed Show! (cue cheering)

Here's what we covered:

Sunday: Why your weight loss programs haven't worked and what to do about it.

Monday: 'Eat less, move more' is terrible weight loss advice, here's what you should focus on instead.

Tuesday: The secret to reaching your wildest dreams...

1. DO NOT beat yourself up, wallow in regret, or fall down the cycle of self-hatred. You aren't broken, or weak, or a failure because you went 'off plan.'

DO forgive yourself, figure out what your triggers were and how you can handle them differently next time, and move on. And remember, there's no magic trick to this.

2. DO NOT do a juice cleanse. The extreme swings will just jack up your metabolism and set you up for a cycle of binging and cleansing. 

DO try a whole-foods based reset like a mini...

What is keto?

It's a diet made up of approximately 70% fat, 25% protein, and 5% carbs with the intention of putting your body into ketosis where it burns fat as its primary source of fuel. It sounds like a great idea... until you realize what it actually does to your body. 

10 Reasons You Can Count Me Out:

1. It's utterly unnecessary.

- People are singing keto's praises because of its weight loss effects. But keto is not some magical diet, it's simply forcing you into a calorie deficit by all but eliminating an ...

Summary

• According to US News & World Report, the failure rate of New Year's resolutions is about 80%. Plus, majority of those who fail will have lost their resolve by mid-February!!
• Why do I think failure rates are so high? I think it breaks down to 3 problems:
  • We rely too heavily on the excitement and motivation of the new year, when really we need to focus on the discipline it's going to take to stay consistent through the ups and downs that a whole 12 months will bring. 
  • We focus on what we're going to do,...

Hey!! I hope this blog finds you well. I hope it finds you happy with your job, in a loving relationship, with overflowing self confidence, health, and joy. 

But what if it isn't? What if this blog is finding you barely able to make it out of bed. What if it finds you with that too-familiar dark cloud hanging overhead? What if it finds you just trying to make it through the day?

Well, I'm hoping, if that's you... today's episode might help.

Because today we're talking about the inextricable link...

Do you ever find yourself so close to a goal you can taste it? All you have to do to achieve everything you ever dreamed of is reach out. It's there for the taking.

Yet, instead of feeling excited about the new level you know you're about to hit, you get pummeled with waves of anxiety, fear, and doubt.

Instead of racing forward and embracing the very thing you've been striving for all this time, you find yourself sinking back, searching for comfort, safety, and the certainty of the grounds you've been walking for years.

In this week's episode of Life Unleashed, I interviewed my good friend, Equinox colleague from back in the day, and extremely talented personal trainer, educator, and nutrition coach, Samantha Nicole.

We dove deep into the topics of macronutrient counting for weight loss, how to incorporate the power of manifestation into your transformation journey, and why always wanting more doesn't make you broken, it makes you better. 

For this blog post, I've focused on the topic of macronutrients. But for the rest of this amazing...

You may know, I don't generally hand out 'DO NOT EAT' lists to my clients. I feel like that usually sets us up for feeling deprived at least, or it sets us up for a full on binge fest and self-loathing spiral at worst. 

However, it is hard to argue that some foods (and beverages) just do not fit in very well with a weight loss plan. (Just ask my client, 'Carol', down below.)

So today I am bringing you a list of the worst foods for weight loss... with this caveat: if...

It's  day 2 of The 5 Days of Fitness, and we are talking all about weight loss after 40 (check out my girl Jamie's story down below). 

First of all, here are a few things you need to understand...

Yes, your metabolism slows and your hormones change as you age. Yes, the pounds can become more stubborn.

No, it is not impossible to have the body you want. And no, you do not have to starve yourself to create the body you want (in fact, that will...

Hey friend, so I'm aware, as of late, I've been heavy into personal development, productivity, and business development for newbie entrepreneurs.

However, I want you to know I have not left my fitness folks behind. Which is why I'm doing a special series of fitness blogs.

I'm calling it, The 5 Days of Fitness. (I love alliterations, don't you?)

So, for the next few posts I'll be answering some...
