3001Fitness • Mar 19, 2017

These weeks fly by and one week can seem to run into the next.

Thankfully you have these highlights to look back on and be reminded of the greatness all around.

We probably don’t say it enough, but we are proud of all of you. We all have tons of things going on in our lives, challenges we struggle with, concerns that stress, accomplishments to celebrate and be proud of yet you still are here each week making yourself better. Thank you.

Here is your week.

Tuesday brought the biggest snow storm of the year and we shut this joint down for the first time.

We all survived and plowed through the rest of the week– pun intended!

Whenever someone deadlifts the 48KG we celebrate. This is the right of passage to the Hex Bar Deadlift. On to bigger and better Nikhil.

Big Dog Ron has taken his training up several notches and showed up to every session the last few weeks with clear intentions. He has been super focused to ensure he gets the most out of each workout and makes good use of his valuable time. Way to take ownership!

Thursday we had a little happy celebration of you at Coal House! This is the only PG pic we took early before things got out hand. Someone may have ended up dancing on the bar! I’m not sure.

In other exciting news, Katerina has joined the Core Principles management team as our Client Experience Ambassador. She is a dynamo at ensuring things run smoothly and will help increase our interaction with you and make sure your experience is always amazing. We will have a pic of Kat next week with some exciting news!

Our April challenge is just around the corner, stay tuned.

Here are my words of wisdom for the week. Brains are for ideas, not remembering things. Write stuff down!

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. The trade off… eating at home requires having food on hand to prepare those meals, which requires time each week for planning and the time it takes to go to the grocery store. It’s work. Well, your resident nutrition coach (ME!), is here to teach you one simple thing you can start doing THIS WEEK to simplify your meal planning, save time, and save money. Watch this week’s video for a step-by-step on how to set up an Instacart account and grocery lists, plan your meals in advance, and order groceries from the comfort of your own home. With the convenience of online shopping, you can browse through a variety of healthy options and have them delivered straight to your doorstep in no time. Check out the video below to see just HOW easy it is to order your groceries online !

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!
