Commited To Move!!!!!

3001Fitness • Apr 05, 2018

Have you ever gotten those annoying push notifications, that just don’t seem to stop coming? I have, and i’ll be honest, I don’t particularly like them. However, recently, I have been getting them and every time I see it, I end up with a huge smile on my face.

 

It’s no secret that we coaches love to move. After all it’s our job to demonstrate and do it. However, it’s more pleasing and to us when we watch someone nail a good squat for the first time or when someone hits the perfect hinge, or someone finally understands what I mean when I say, “ Squeeze Your Butt”. Lately, though I have become ecstatic over one person’s commitment to move. Enter Maria.

I’ll be honest, when I first met Maria, I was intimidated. She stood a whole 4 foot 10 but carried herself like she was 6 foot 5. She moved like a cat and had the education to backup every reason for doing what she did. She even told Pat and I, if she didn’t like something we told her she would disagree, in a nice way though. Needless to say, Maria was a mover.

 

Recently, Maria moved away from Core Principles and was most likely nervous about getting her movement in. She really enjoyed the way Haylin programmed for her but found herself in a hard position because of the commute she was about to face. So, her and Haylin sat down and figured out what her priorities were. She wanted movement, she wanted structure, and she wanted the right coaching to reach her fitness goals. So, being that it’s 2018 they came up with a solution.

Maria is now on a coach catalyst program which has her program uploaded to it. She answers a daily question that is in align with her monthly habit and promotes that goal. Each and every day, her and the team can converse through the MyCoach app and trouble shoot any questions, comments, and concerns. I constantly get bombarded with Maria’s comments and questions and I LOVE IT!!!!!

 

Does Maria stop there?! Nope, she even makes the effort to get to Core Principles once every two weeks to get the movement she wants in and get a little more insight into how she is moving through her workouts. She is a dedicated individual that I am pleased to see every time she shows up or hits up on the app.

I think we can all learn a lesson from Maria and follow in her footsteps of how to dedicate oneself and set priorities. We are so glad she continues to be with us at CP and we know that she will reach the goals she wants with that positive attitude and forward thinking.

Several weeks ago I asked you to send questions you have about nutrition, eating skills or body image and I got a bunch of great questions! Thank you!!! In this week’s video, we are covering a question that comes up a lot: What can I eat for lunch that:requires little to no prep, will keep me satisfied, and is not highly processed? Do you struggle with that midday break to eat lunch like me?? Many of my clients have come to me really at a loss for lunch specifically, because they haven’t made a plan, and they either grab handfuls of random things together, go through a drive thru, or skip it all together! Does that sound like you? Well, check out this week’s video to see my recommendations for how to make sure those lunches don’t thwart your progress to reaching your health goals. As always, we will start where you are!

Eating at home more than going out to eat is one way to make progress on your health and nutrition because it puts you in full control.

Are you a “perfectionist"? When you strive for perfection, you have good intentions. You want to take care of your health, feel your best, and live a long and happy life with loved ones. One way that perfectionism can show up in our health is through a fancy term known as cognitive distortion also known as all-or-nothing thinking. Striving for excellence can be a really wonderful thing! It means it is important to you to look after yourself! However, all or nothing thinking can also lead to disappointment, burnout, and self-criticism when we inevitably miss a day, or go “off plan”. When our focus is on getting a “perfect” outcome, we lose satisfaction and enjoyment along the way and lose sight of other measures of progress. Want to know one of the greatest predictors of long term success with any behavior change? FLEXIBILITY. Flexibility allows you to come as you are on your best day AND on your worst day. It fosters self-compassion, and helps you to keep moving forward. Check out this video below to find out more!
