Slow down
The faster you rush through the weight loss process, the less prepared you’ll be to maintain your progress.
Take your time developing the foundation that will be your lifelong active lifestyle. Trade the next few years getting this squared away, so that the decades that follow include a healthy relationship with food, fitness and yourself. Please. 🤗 👊🏻
Hey there. When it comes to building long-term success in fitness and weight loss, most people are told that real progress happens only when they push outside of their comfort zone. I used to believe that too. But over time, I’ve realized that what actually builds momentum, trust, and results is learning how to show up consistently, even on the days when I don’t feel like it.
Hey there. For decades the fitness industry has been telling us the same thing. If you want to feel good about yourself inside and out, change how you look. That message has been repeated so often that many of us have believed it without question. We have chased weight loss thinking that when we reached a certain number or a certain size, we would finally feel different.
Hey there. I have noticed a lot of conversations lately about weighted vests and how they are “revolutionizing” walking workouts. They have been around forever, but like most fitness trends, TikTok has a way of making something that has existed for years suddenly seem brand new. And while I think weighted vests can be useful in some situations, I want to zoom out and talk about walking itself, how to scale it, how to make it effective, and how to use it as a foundation for cardio that you can actually do for the rest of your life.
Hey there. For most of my life, I watched the fitness industry market against our insecurities. The message was always the same. If you want to feel good about yourself, you need to change how you look. And if you’ve been on a weight loss journey for years or even decades, you know exactly what I mean. The industry thrives on making us feel like we are not enough.
Hey there. For years I have told clients the same thing whenever they feel stuck or overwhelmed, and it always works. It is simple, and it cuts through the noise of the weight loss and fitness industry. When you feel overwhelmed, simplify. Ask yourself, what am I willing and able to do right now? Then do it. Make that decision, take that step, and move on to the next.
Hey there. For most of my life I thought weight loss was about finding the perfect plan. I jumped from program to program, diet to diet, always believing the next one would finally be the answer. And maybe you have done the same. You’ve tried dozens of approaches over the years and some of them worked for a little while. Some of them even felt enjoyable at the time. But eventually, most of them left you frustrated and starting over again.
Hey there. For as long as I can remember, the fitness and weight loss industry has pushed the idea that the number on the scale is the ultimate marker of success. If the number goes down, we’re told to feel good. If it goes up, we’re told to feel bad. If it doesn’t move at all, we’re left frustrated and questioning our efforts. But here’s the truth I’ve learned and continue to share: the scale is only one part of the story.
Hey there. For most of my life I believed what the fitness and weight loss industry told me. That if I could just change my body, if I could just reach that ideal look, then I would finally feel happy and fulfilled. Maybe you’ve felt that too. You work hard, hit a milestone, and for a moment you’re proud of yourself. But then that feeling fades and you’re left asking, “Is this all there is?”
Hey there. For so long I believed the message the fitness industry sells. Hustle harder, grind longer, never stop. All gas, no brakes. That was supposed to be the path to success. But after years of trying to live that way, all it ever really led to was burnout. And the more I pushed, the more I felt like I was losing control of the one thing I wanted most, which was to build something sustainable.
Hey there. I used to think that if I just found the right program or the perfect plan, everything in my life would finally make sense. I believed that happiness and fulfillment were things I could only access once I changed what I looked like or achieved a certain number on the scale. What I’ve learned over time is that the real foundation starts within me. That’s the core of living an inside/out life.
