I feel my girl.

Her life is in constant motion and one of her favorite things was requested to be put on pause.

She loves running and it helps manage her ADHD and anxiety.

Needless to say, the last few weeks have been torture for her with running put on pause.

Sure she enjoys a strength workout and to see progress there, but that’s merely her side chick.

Instead of pushing through pain, trying to hack recovery, and overruling all of us on her team…

She’s been armament about the home therapies, continues to work her upper body, and has found peace in the process.

She is choosing the harder thing believe it or not. For some of you, the harder thing is getting to the gym consistently. For some of you, it’s listening to your body when it’s yelling. And for some of you, it’s harder to lay on your couch.

And also, that’s the beauty of online coaching. I can adjust her program for her, I can be in weekly communication with her physical therapist, and I can always be a sounding board when she wants to complain.

But, her results come from herself at the end of the day.

You follow different people for different reasons, I get it. But what happens when those people start to clash and tell you different things? Do you trust person A? Scientist B? Or your own self?

Not to mention your friends and their crazy “it works great for me, you should try it!!!”

That bitch is literally doing everything but eating and strength training.

Not to mention the amount of money these things cost you.

Go to Sprouts and buy the meat that’s on sale.
Go to their frozen aisle and pick up frozen vegetables and fruits.
Buy a bunch of potatoes and rice, make bowls for meals.

Get outside and walk.
Strength train once a week.
Do some stretches while you watch Netflix.

Ask yourself if all that is really necessary.
Ask if you have the basics and are ready to level up.
Ask yourself if you truly know WTF you’re doing.

Your purchases, routine, goals, habits should be working for YOU. Just because Stacy Sims said you need protein before you workout doesn’t mean you need protein before you work out. And just because Diary of CEO promotes every fasted doctor doesn’t mean you need to fast.

It’s all built to sell you on their method. Not YOUR METHOD.

If you’re ready to build your own system, through small easy changes that last…

Send me a message.

This is going to p**s you off.

You continue to spend money on your nails, generic fitness apps, cute clothing pieces, but stop when it comes to a QUALITY coach and health care team.

Saying “I’ll lose the weight” or “I’ll do this xyz” and “figure out the rest later” isn’t working for you. And the people around you that agree to your statement need to be fired.

You continue to do it yourself and follow bu****it people who feed you what you want to hear.

Just because they have the credentials does not make them a reputable choice. Just because you see that they have 100k followers doesn’t mean they have experience.

And, here’s the real p**sed off moment…

Just because they have lost weight and kept it off successfully does NOT mean s**t.

In order to achieve your goals, creating a team and support structure for TODAY has to happen.

So that in ten years…
Where does your health stand? Are you able to chase after your kids? Do you go out to eat without the fear of the next morning? Have you kept your weight off the last five years?

Just like my virtual client here, you have all “fallen off the wagon”.

As I remind my clients though, it’s what you do after you’ve fallen off the matters.

This virtual client decided to recommit to her movement routine after a year hiatus and signed up for virtual coaching.

And for that, I am proud. Not for me having another client, but for her doing what so many women don’t…

Getting help.

You have been in her shoes feeling guilty and embarrassed. Recognizing that other tasks and health concerns had to take priority.

Yet, here you are without help and spinning your wheels. Making your commitment to movement an uphill battle rather than a cake walk.

Truly, it can be easier than you think it will be. It’s your perception of movement that needs redefining.

Virtual coaching can be a great option made for the convenience of your life, not something that your life has to fit into.
