All tagged forever active lifestyle
Hey there. When I talk about building a forever active lifestyle, I always circle back to one message. Guilt doesn’t belong here. Guilt isn’t a motivator. It’s not a helpful reminder. And it definitely isn’t part of a long-term, sustainable way of living.
Hey there. I want you to be active and live the best quality of life possible for as long as you can. That’s my hope for anyone who comes across my content, whether you’re trying to lose weight, gain muscle, improve your health, or just move more.
Hey there. One of the most important things to think about when it comes to long-term success with weight loss is how you're going to manage maintenance. For a lot of people, getting to a goal weight is the focus, but what happens after that? What does life look like when you're not actively trying to lose weight anymore?
Hey there. Here’s something the fitness and weight loss world rarely tells you. All of those programs you’ve tried over the years? They were never meant to work long term unless they were built around one thing... your preferences.
Hey there. For years, I’ve believed that the best way to approach life is from the inside out. That means starting with a connection to yourself before making decisions about your health, fitness, and everything else. When you take this approach, you’re not just following trends or reacting to outside pressures. You’re making choices based on what truly matters to you.
Hey there. We live in a world where we are constantly told what we should be doing. Social media is filled with fitness influencers and self-development gurus shouting about discipline, willpower, and taking action. You scroll through your feed, nodding in agreement, thinking, “Yeah, they’re right.” But you don’t act on it. You don’t make the change. And then, the guilt creeps in.
Hey there. I’ve always been someone who feels better when I’m moving. Even when I’m sitting still, working on something that needs my attention, there’s this underlying feeling that I’d be better off if I just got up and took a quick walk. Exercise, activity, movement—whatever you want to call it—has a noticeable impact on how I feel mentally and emotionally.
Hey there. When it comes to fitness, we’re often told what to do. We see the workouts, the meal plans, and the before-and-after pictures. But what we don’t see is the foundation that makes all of it stick. That’s why I believe in an inside-out approach to fitness. It’s not just about what actions you take. It’s about why you take them.
Hey there. You ever feel like loving yourself is a concept that sounds good in theory, but when it comes to actually doing it, you hesitate? You’re not alone. For a lot of us, especially when we’re on a weight loss journey or trying to “better” ourselves, it feels like loving who we are right now is the exact opposite of what we should be doing. But what if I told you that loving yourself isn’t just a feel-good idea, it’s the foundation for real change?
Hey there. Everyone’s approach to an active lifestyle is different. While structure and consistency matter, what fills that framework has to be based on your preferences and your ability level. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to fitness or nutrition, it all comes down to what works for you.
Hey there. Do you ever feel like fitness professionals are constantly talking at you? Telling you what you should do, why you should care, and acting like you don’t already have a solid understanding of the basics? It drives me crazy.
Hey there. When most people start a new eating plan, their first instinct is to cut back. They immediately focus on eating less, removing certain foods, and restricting their intake in hopes of losing weight. While calorie deficit is necessary for weight loss, the approach I recommend is the reverse: addition before subtraction.
Hey there. You see it all the time. People becoming completely consumed by their workouts, meal plans, and the pursuit of their ideal body. It’s understandable. Fitness culture often pushes the narrative that your ability to maintain discipline in your diet and training is a reflection of your worth. But I’m here to tell you: your active lifestyle is not the most important thing you will ever do.
Hey there. Today, I want to dive into something that can transform the way you approach health and fitness, shifting your focus from outcomes to actions. This simple yet powerful mindset change can help you break free from the roller coaster of dieting and create sustainable habits that last a lifetime.
Hey there. Have you ever felt like you’ve been riding the diet roller coaster your entire life? Jumping from one program to the next, chasing fleeting results, and trying to hit elusive weight loss goals? If so, you’re not alone. The fitness industry thrives on this cycle, keeping us focused on short-term outcomes and unrealistic expectations.
Hey there. In a fitness world dominated by six-pack chasers, “100% clean eaters,” and obsessive scale watchers, it can feel like success is defined by rigid rules and unattainable ideals. But here’s the truth: happiness and lasting results don’t come from fitting into the “normal” mold. They come from doing what works for you, embracing your preferences, and creating your own path.
Hey there. Weight loss is often portrayed as a game, but few of us are ever told how to actually win. We’re handed a set of rules, strict routines, and lofty goals disguised as the ultimate solution. “Follow these steps, adopt this mindset, and want it badly enough,” they say. Yet the reality of winning this game is far simpler—and far more personal—than we’re led to believe.
Hey there. When it comes to fitness and weight loss, there’s a lot of noise out there—plans, diets, trends, and absolutes that promise to transform your life overnight. But let’s face it: the vast majority of these approaches don’t last. Why? Because they aren’t designed to fit into the life you actually want to live. Today, I’m calling out some of these outdated ideas and offering a new perspective—one that’s sustainable, personalized, and empowering.
Hey there. When it comes to building a sustainable, healthy lifestyle, there are two critical perspectives we need to address: yours and the role of fitness professionals…
