  • Pitfalls of Perfectionism

    Have you ever set out to achieve something, had a really strong start, and then failed to finish? 

    We've all been there, I can promise you that. The problem is we are chasing something that is literally unacheivable.... 

    Nothing inhibits progress or thwarts success like the trap of perfectionism.

    And while we've touched on this before, we want to take a deeper dive into how we mentally justify this tendency and what it really is. 

    Today we'll talk a little bit about:

    - The lie of perfectionism
    - Changing our mindset around perfectionism and failure
    - Outthinking your inner bully

    Have you held yourself to such a high standard that you throw in the towel when you can't meet it???

  • 4 Mistakes That Are Keeping You From Losing Fat (part 2)

    "What am I doing wrong?!?!?"  

    Last week we covered 2 of the most common mistakes  people make when trying to lose weight.

    And today we'll talk about two MORE of the BIG MISTAKES that we see when people are really trying but not getting the results they want. 

    A couple of the big questions we want to address today:

     - "Is a calorie is a calorie, and it doesn't matter where it comes from?"

     - "No pain, no gain. The harder I work, the better the results, right?"

    Have you wondered about either of these things in your life?

  • Why it isn't working

    "I've tried every diet ever."

    Between Nick and myself, we really don't know how many times we've heard this, but it's a LOT.

    What I want you to do today is give up. That's right; GIVE UP on the idea of dieting. 

    Today we'll talk a little bit about:

     What our bodies are designed to do and not do

     What it is about dieting that is destined to fail

    Have you ever tried one of the fad diets and couldn't figure out why its working or why your results haven't STAYED??
