In summer of 2022 I decided to make a comeback into competitive bodybuilding. It's been 20 years since I last competed. So WHY, at age 46, would I choose this for myself? Because I like doing what society says I can’t do "at my age." I also felt like I needed to prove to myself that I COULD do it. See, I wasn't happy with myself. I wasn't doing the best I could. I wasn't living up to my potential, and I knew it. A friend got me in touch with a trainer who specializes in getting people competition ready, and I got to work. (I even decided to create a documentary from my journey, and it's set to come out later this year on Netflix!) Losing more weight HAS to be a part of getting competition ready, and I've lost 20 pounds since I started. And to my surprise, I discovered five "non-scale victories" I wasn't expecting to experience. To hear what they are, tune into this week's podcast episode. See if you relate to any of them. Hear what you might get to experience when you get your weight under control. If you're struggling to get motivated, and are disappointed in yourself right now, DEFINITELY tune in, because that's where I was before I started this journey last year. ---- Have you seen our new app?  Even when your other social platforms are unavailable, we are here for you on the Code Red App www.coderedlifestyle.com/app ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click Below to join the challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown  ---- Connect with Cristy: Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG

Self-Improvement

A friend of mine recently had a miscarriage. This was after going through IVF, hormone treatments, and working SO hard to get herself healthy, so she could get pregnant and carry a fetus. It was tough. But she began to come up with a plan, which was to get back to baseline, because she’d gained 15 pounds doing IVF and wanted to lose that. I suggested that what she needed was to reset and recover, and give herself time to heal her grieving heart. Resetting and recovering are things many people dismiss as "being weak" or "wasting time"...OR as something you only do if you've gone through an accident, miscarriage, divorce, loss, or some other tough experience. But the reality is, resetting and recovering is good to do in a lot of different situations. Yes, there are times to push. There are also times to reset and recover. To be clear, reset and recover doesn’t mean you go backwards. To find out what it DOES mean, and how to use it to be successful in your weight loss, join me for this episode! ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- coderedlifestyle.com/meat at checkout and use codered for free pound of ground beef! ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click Below to join the challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown  ---- Connect with Cristy: Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG

Reset and Recover

A common barrier to staying on track is being mentally exhausted from making tons of decisions all day. The more decisions you have to make, the more friction it creates in your life, and the more mentally wiped out you feel. This phenomenon is called decision fatigue. (It's why you start out strong in the morning and feel like cheating by the end of the day. Your willpower is highest first thing in the morning because you haven't really used it yet.) My Certified Coaches all have busy lives full of decisions to make and problems to solve, so for this week's episode, I asked them to share their tips for streamlining their lives and, in so doing, setting themselves up for success. They offered up several great and SIMPLE strategies that reduce friction, ease decision fatigue, and make it easier to stay on track. I also added some things I do to help me stay on track and do the things I've committed to doing. We came up with about twenty-five different things you can do to streamline your life and reduce the number of decisions you have to make.

Reduce Friction

Much to the surprise of people doing it for the first time, working from home comes with a lot of challenges. I've been working from home for years, and let me tell you, I did not see most of these challenges coming. Hey, don't get me wrong. Working from home is awesome...AND there's a flip side to everything, including working from home. Whether you're working from home because you've got your own business or you're working remotely for someone else, you'll face these challenges, too. And in case you're wondering, YES, they can affect your weight loss. Whether working from home helps or hurts your weight loss depends on what I'm gonna talk about in this episode of Rebel Weight Loss & Lifestyle. Tune in and get my top three tips for working from home. ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- 7 day reset might be exactly what you need: coderedlifestyle.com/reset ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click Below to join the challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown  ---- Connect with Cristy: Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG

MY TOP 3 TIPS FOR WORKING FROM HOME

There's no shortage of ways to lose weight. You can lose weight with the lemon and cayenne pepper diet, the cabbage soup diet, or with Noom, Weight Watchers, Atkins, Ozempic, gastric surgery, and a million more. Losing weight isn't the hard part. It's keeping it off that most people struggle with, which is why I say we don’t have a weight loss problem in this country, we have a weight regain problem. Back in January, I did a workshop called Throwing It All Away, where I talked about my biggest battle ever with weight regain. It happened for one simple reason: I stopped doing what was working. The REASONS I stopped are relatable, but for this conversation, they're beside the point. The point is that when you stop doing what's working, you lose the result. If you stop showering, you stop staying clean. If you stop putting fuel in your car, it stops running. And if you stop doing what worked to get your weight off, you gain it back. That's why gimmicks like Ozempic, and drastic measures like gastric surgery, are so dangerous. How many times can you safely do them? How far can they really get you? In this podcast episode, I'm going deep into why the sneaky, toxic mindset of "it's working, so I can stop doing it" is SO harmful and frustrating in all areas of your life, including your weight loss. Tune in for help putting it behind you. ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- 7 day reset might be exactly what you need: coderedlifestyle.com/reset ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click Below to join the challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown  ---- Connect with Cristy: Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG

YOU STOPPED DOING WHAT WAS WORKING

When sharing the Code Red Lifestyle™, people don’t believe what they hear, they believe what they see. That’s how people decide if something is going to work or not. They look for proof, aka "the fruit" of what it produces. Actual fruit doesn’t just pop up on its own. It's produced on a vine or tree. This is why I've posted a before and after picture of a Rebel who's lost weight every single day for the past eight years, plus stories that go along with them. It's to show people "the fruit" that Code Red produces when you live the lifestyle consistently and correctly. A lot of people who start living the Code Red Lifestyle™ want to inspire their friends and family to join. One of THE best ways to do that is by actually living the lifestyle and letting your results do the talking. An example: Say your mailman sees you at the mailbox, notices you’ve lost weight, and asks what’s going on. "Oh, I’m doing Code Red. It’s real food water, and sleep. No shakes, pills, diet foods, or exercise," you reply. That mailman, your pastor’s wife, your sister-in-law, they're all going to notice "the fruit" of your work. Another example: Let's say you're in an Uber and the driver tells you, "I’d really like to lose weight. I’ve been struggling the last four years, busting my butt at the gym three days a week. I haven’t skipped one single workout, and I'm not losing weight. It's just so frustrating." You could say, "I’ve lost 135 pounds on a program called Code Red," and the Uber driver will probably be impressed. But if you reach your phone forward (wait for a red stoplight or until you arrive at your destination!!) with a before picture, so they can compare it to how you look now, THAT's going to make much more of an impact than just saying it. If you want to inspire more people to live the Code Red Lifestyle™ with you, tune into this this episode, where I'll talk about how to "bear fruit" in a way that makes people take notice. What I talk about applies to more than weight loss. It applies to anything where you'd like people to join in...a business, a group you're a part of, and more. Tune in for tips on how you can "bear fruit" in a way that inspires others into action. ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click Below to join the challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown  ---- Connect with Cristy: Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG
