CONSISTENT by Primal Potential

I had a busy weekend, full of lessons, many of which came from my first time on a bike in God knows how many years.

Saturday, I ate lots of treats (for me) and several alcoholic beverages. Sunday, I ate really clean & biked around Martha's Vineyard.

On both days, I was reminded of powerful lessons that help me break through my mental barriers, make progress towards my goals and take great care of myself.

In today's episode, I'm sharing 5 of those real-life lessons with you! I hope you enjoy them!

You might not see it this way, but chances are, you're creating chaos in your life.

Often, we turn to food & alcohol in response to stress, emotion, tension or anxiety. Food allows us to escape, avoid & numb whatever is bothering us.

Then, we turn our attention to an attempt to NOT eat or drink in response to these feelings.

However, that's like trying to lower a fever with ice instead of addressing & resolving what's causing the fever.

In today's episode I will share what I wish I knew when I was younger about emotional reactions that contributed to overeating, binging and obesity.

The other day I overheard a conversation between two women at the gym. One woman was complaining to the other about her stress incontinence, or, as she described it, leaking urine during her workout.

The other woman shared that she has the same problem and they attributed it to having kids and talked about how there was no solution other than surgery.

That's not true.

In today's episode, I'm talking not only about stress incontinence but about how we ignore problems instead of fixing them. That has got to stop.

We power through workouts without regard to what is happening with our bodies. We do nothing about aches, pains, incontinence, headaches and other symptoms instead of looking to identify & resolve the underlying issue.

Whether you workout or not, whether you experience stress incontinence or not, I strongly recommend you listen to this episode, and to your body.

A couple weeks ago I went up to Albany, NY to watch one of the CrossFit regional competitions. All of the athletes were highly skilled and wanted to win. However, being highly skilled and wanting to win wasn't enough.

As I watched the competition, I paid close attention to factors that made athletes struggle & falter as well as common factors that set athletes up for success.

In today's podcast, I'm sharing with you 6 critical strategies that will help you crush your goals based on what I observed at the regionals.

We all want something, but that doesn't mean we consistently do the work to stay focused and achieve our desired outcome. Today's episode will help you crush your goals and move from wanting to win to actually winning.

Please do not confuse thoughts with emotions. Many people think that it's our emotions, our feelings, that drive our choices.

It's not.

It's our THOUGHTS. Sure, it can be our thoughts about what we feel, or it can just be thoughts without emotional ties.

If you want to change the choices you make, you've first got to understand the thoughts that drive them, both good & bad.

You have to be willing to surrender this hyper focus on tactic. If you aren't consistently making the kinds of choices you want it, it's not because you've yet to find the right program, meal plan or calorie allotment.

It's because of the way you think prior to making a choice.

Today I'm going to help you discover the thoughts that are helping you, the thoughts that are hurting you and what you can do about it.

Can sun exposure increase your metabolism? Can it help you burn fat more efficiently?

The answer is yes. In today's episode we're going into the science of sun, your skin & hormones to look at how moderate sun exposure can minimize cravings, reduce inflammation, increase energy and support your metabolism & ability to burn fat.

I know our society talks about the dangers of the sun and tells us all to put on sunscreen before we talk to the mailbox but here's the reality: sun burn is bad, the sun is not.

There are many health benefits of sun exposure beyond vitamin D and we'll be talking about them today!

I had a particularly motivating morning the other day. However, it didn't start out that way. It started out with an onslaught of self-doubt, excuses and self-imposed limitations.

I am not immune to negativity & excuses. I have just as many doubts & excuses as the next person. Sometimes they win. Often, they don't.

In today's motivational minisode I'm sharing my motivational morning and how I work through real limitations without letting them dictate my decisions.

I am so pumped to share a powerful conversation I had with one of my Fat Loss Fast Track clients about body image and the real reasons we want to change our bodies, lives & relationship with food.

On today's episode, Kristi and I talk about how the mental game of nutrition and weight loss has not only changed her body but also her life.

She's brave enough to talk about existing insecurities and what it is that she really wants - why she really wants to lose weight & change her body.

If you have ever had a body image issue, this is an episode you won't want to miss!

Huge thanks to Kristi for her openness and inspiration!

I recently sent an email to my Fat Loss Fast Track clients asking them all a direct question: Are you a dropout?

I wanted them to think hard about their level of effort and engagement while giving a lifeline to those who need some extra support & encouragement.

I want to open the lines of communication with every single one of the FLFTers so we can make the rest of the spring FLFT the best of the spring FLFT.

I got some really powerful email responses from folks who have drifted and are struggling. I printed them all out. I studied them and, to the extend that they will let me, I'm working to help all of them become stronger than their excuses.

In today's episode I'm sharing some of their emails with you and talking about mental models to help all of us end the drama, stop sensationalizing our choices & become stronger than our excuses.

There are a series of well-worn lies we tell ourselves about binges. There are a series of stories we tell ourselves that aren't true.

They might be familiar, but they certainly aren't true.

Today I want to help you move beyond overeating and binging by shining light on these well-worn lies and stories.
