Working in a E.R, Traveling and getting a master degree

3001Fitness • Sep 04, 2019

When it comes to working out in the company of friends, energy in the gym is vital. I remember one time I was working out in a gym during a bad storm and the lights went out, instead of leaving me the and group I was training with railed and had a great work out.
Ray always helps add some high energy to the gym.

60 + has never looked so good.

Here’s how Ray has gotten great results

Ray is a medical professional and runs a local Emergence room. He live’s in Stamford and spends a lot of his free time traveling while finishing another masters degree.

 

Ray has been a client with us for over a year. He comes to train with us 2 to 3 times a week, depending on his schedule. He is a client who never been anything but eager to push himself. Pushing your self is very important when it comes to working out. Knowing when to lay off the gas and to put the pedal to the metal is difficult. Ray comes in, and even if he had some hard hours, he’s ready to go.

 

Learning to balance his training with his work life with his nutrition has been a huge reason for his success. We check-in with ray regular and if he been traveling or worked 16 hours plus the goal of the work out will change.

 

As Ray got everything in the gym under control, we started to talk about what happens outside. These are huge for losing weight, seeing pant size drop and getting stronger.

Ray talked with our nutrition specialist about a few key targets .

  • Break fest Eatit consistently
  • lunch making sure he has something to eat regardless of work
  • Eating more veggies and protein

This helped Ray not just in the gym outside at work and in life where it really counts. We are so proud of the pounds you lost and the strength you gain ray keep up the good work.

If you like to make changes like ray just  start now.

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!
