The coaches are actually big fans of the holidays, BUT...if you don't have a plan you can emerge in January stressed, sicker, and fatter than before. Not a good combo.

Josh argues that with Thanksgiving right ahead and Halloween right behind, the holiday season is in full swing. And if you don't have a plan or a mental approach yet, you're already in trouble.

But never fear! Just like Batman had to face the Man-bat, so BatCoach will help you defeat the Turkey-Bat!

We need to have an approach to deal with the 3 biggest obstacles during the holidays:

-Cold (makes you want to move less)

-Holiday food and gatherings (enjoy, but let's be smart)

-Viruses. No, we're not talking about Britney Spear's "My Only Wish". Actual winter viruses that make people sick.

Strategies to train smart, recover smart, and eat smart.

It's been a feature on our show since we started. But two full years in and we're putting Speech of the Week out to pasture. :O Not in our daily practice, mind you! No, we still use it at our gym and with our clients. So this episode is a grand send-off of our beloved SpOTW's.

Josh and Jordan battle it out, trying to encapsulate each SpOTW into single sentence summaries. (Hard!)

But do not be afraid: you can still read them in their (better) blog form on our gym website: www.pcflongmont.com/blog

Let's not kid ourselves. If you want to change your results, you need to change your habits. But it doesn't need to be drastic and sadistic!

It's the first week of the month and that means it's time to coach NUTRITION Strategies!

Yes, the major culprits are frequently portion control, pro-portion control, emotional eating, and distracted eating. But there's a really sneaky one too that affects nearly everybody who wants to get leaner: your palette is working against you.

So how can we adjust the food that we make so that we're still having really interesting and tasty food, but not drowning ourselves in unnecessary calories?

On this episode: how to make recipe adjustments to texture, ingredients, and even heat to make your food healthier while keeping it tasty and interesting!

Stuff that we do: Well, Josh launched his pet dragon, Saffire, into a poster of Kettleballz. You can check it out here:

On this episode of Truth in Coaching, Josh and Jordan go back to the roots of the show and send some TRUTH DARTS. Ouch.

Yeah, we all need to hear them and coaching isn't always soft and affirming all the time. But. All is not lost and it's probably not as bad as you think. As long as you have the right mindset.
