Actually, You Are a Real Runner

This super imperfect episode comes to you from the road as we find some place to spend the night. Just kidding. Kinda.

2.5 years ago, I decided to stop dieting. Stop doing perfect meal plans. Stop doing Meal Prep Sunday. And stop obsessing over food.

The thing is, after doing those things for so long, it all didn't change overnight. It took time unlearning the habits and mindset I had when it came to food and LIFE.

We talk about being Imperfect yet Consistent and what the heck that means while we are on this road trip through the south... where most veggies on a menu are breaded and fried.

Forgive me for talking in circles and not presenting unfinished thoughts. I'm focusing on the process right now and not a super polished and perfect end goal. Join me in being imperfect. It's fun.

Sometimes we look on social media and see other women's profiles and think everything in their lives is cheery + perfect and probably always has been.

I loved talking with Sarah in today's episode because she let us hear about her up and down journey with health from being a smoker in her early adult life to dealing with injury and sickness. This former teacher and current mom understands the difficulties that happens in life, but she has a growth-mindset about life and has become stronger because of those challenges.

And you guys, she trained for a marathon, it got canceled, and she still ran! Talk about strength! 

Sarah has FREE workouts on her Instagram that you can do with minimal to NO equipment, and she a wealth of knowledge about gut health and pelvic floor on her blog!

Have you ever worked out for like 6 months straight, ate super healthy, felt amazing, and then fallen into a hole where these acts felt impossible? 

I've been MIA.

I was consistent with this podcast for 6 months, and this past month has been a mess because of the little voice inside telling me I can't do this.

Here's what I am doing to get myself out of this mini hole before it turns into a giant hole:

Applying imperfect action.

This podcast is not polished. I talk in circles... as I walk in circles.

But it was my mini action to get myself going.

If you're in a hole, I want you to apply action today.

I don't want you to do a 60 minute workout, and I don't want you to plan a whole week's worth of perfect meals. You/we won't be able to keep up with that for life.

Pick a super small action. Even smaller. Something you can do for 7 days straight. And then let's do it for 7 days straight... and repeat some more.

xoxo

I used to think of exercise as punishment for what I ate or as something that was really, really hard and just another thing to add to my super long to do list. Surprise! It never got done. I kept thinking of it as something extra and not something that would actually help me.

You know all that changed when I did my first 5k and trained for my first long distance race.

If you're someone who has a different schedule this summer and go back and forth about the place fitness has in your life, give today's episode a listen. 

Did you sign up for a race after listening to this? Tag @jaclynricchio on your IG story, and I will cheer you on!!

Lyn Lindbergh is no stranger when it comes to having a stressful and inactive lifestyle. This former kindergarten teacher turned dot.com 9-5er saw how a lack of health and fitness took a toll on her life. 

Lyn loved the social aspect of running races, and fitness became a part of her life. She created Couch to Active to help busy professionals make exercise a part of their lives too.
