It's Habit Time

We discuss how coaching can help us reach our goals, what to look for in a coach and also how dependent we have all become on the influencers and gurus to tell us what to do and how to do it.

Do we depend too much on outside influences (see title) to determine our ability to succeed as well as our final success? Are we spending too much time on these things instead of focusing our precious time on getting healthier and stronger?

How much of our difficulties in remaining consistent are because we are creating our own friction by trying to do too much, be a part of too many things, or spread ourselves out too thinly? Are we suddenly creating time when others ask us to help them (the same time that we say didn't exist before when it came to reaching our goals)?We have become extremely dependent on our devices as well as extrinsic rewards as opposed to focusing on how to create an intrinsic reward system for ourselves. What is the real reason we are motivated to have a healthier and stronger version of ourselves?

Aside from our usual squirreling, today we chat about one of the reasons maintenance feels so much harder than being in a deficit. We also chat about our in person get together in Buffalo and once again go off on a tangent about food!

How much value do we place on what we SAY we want? Are we taking actionable steps to create that life or have we not given it the value that it deserves in lieu of doing other stuff? https://www.youtube.com/@madelainerascan

Shana shares her journey over the last year in "maintenance" and how she feels about where she is at vs where she wants to be.

Today we talk about an issue we both have and most likely many of you...eating when you aren't hungry. Bored? Let's eat! Sad? Let's eat! Happy? Let's eat!This will be something we will be working on over the next few months.We also discuss our new 6 week Blueprint program!!

Today Shana is on vacay at the beach and we are discussing the importance of taking breaks when you need them. Bridget took a break from logging this week and Shana may or may not be taking a break from any workouts but certainly from her "normal" routine. We talk about why we sometimes need to do that but how important it is to not let that break turn into a lifestyle.

Today on our 51st episode...yep our 51st episode...we discuss habits..the good the bad and the necessary. Habit change is key in reaching our goals. What habits are keeping you from reaching yours?
