Staying Focused on Your Goal

Happy Friday!

Today I will share how to stay relentlessly focused on your goal.

 

Now you know us as the health, and weight loss experts, but you can use this for any goal.

We love goals all day every day, but what happens when you get thrown off course?

Whenever we coach someone in a weight loss journey it is hardly ever a straight line down.

We have holidays, vacations, etc.

And life…right?

How do you stay on track?

I have a three-part process I want to share with you.

Step 1: Know what you want

Too many times we see someone dip their toe in the water when it comes to weight loss. You kinda sorta do the things and one little blip and hands go up in the air.

Set the goal. Be specific and can you measure it.

For example, we use the number on the scale or body fat to be a tangible number we track.

Step 2: You have to NEED your goal.

Ok, so what do I mean here? Do you need to hit this goal? Is it tied to your higher purpose?

This is deeper than I want my clothes to fit or have more energy.

When you hit your goal who do you become?

Does that light you up enough to not order takeout and have drinks on Friday night?

😉

This part is critical and it is ok to not know, but challenge yourself, if you were to know why you need your goal what would that be?

Step 3: Who Are you Becoming?

As we are specifically talking about weight loss, what I love witnessing is the change in the person.

When someone loses weight, they gain so much confidence and go for more in life.

It is awesome.

And I want to challenge you. When you think about you hitting your goal can you see him/her?

How do you dress?

Where are you?

Who are you with?

What are you doing?

Create a Future Memory.

Think about this, if I were to ask you about a favorite memory, you could give me the whole sensory experience right?

That’s what I want you to consider when thinking about your goal, why you need it, and who you are becoming.

Would love to hear your future memory, should you accept this challenge!

This is how we help clients stay relentlessly focused on the goal!

Go get ’em’!

Have an awesome day,

The New You

Hope you are having a great day today!

I wanted to slide into your inbox this morning for some quick inspiration.

There have been some new things bubbling inside of Tony and I and I can’t help but think you can relate.

We found ourselves in this pandemic, so defeat, lost would be a good word too.

Just frustrated.

And if we were being honest we had felt that way for a while.

Let me know if you can relate, I love your feedback.

We both knew we had to change, but what needed to change?

We love our business.

We love helping people.

Why do we feel stuck?

It all circled back to not taking care of ourselves the way we knew to do.

Sounds so simple.

And it truly was.

I can’t tell you how many times, I tried to find something wrong with me.

(I hope you are laughing.)

But seriously I had blood work, I had appointments, I had therapists, books, and Dr. google.

And to be honest, I needed to eat right, sleep, and drink high-quality H2O.

I had to stop self-medicating myself every night and get real with who is Arin now.

I share this because I know people look up to us and we are far from perfect.

But I would like to think we have cracked this code of being stuck.

What we were really doing was being super indecisive on what we wanted in life.

I believe it happened for a reason.

And once we started truly looking inward at all the things we were doing it is amazing how life seemed easy.

I definitely wanted to overcomplicate it…shocker, I am sure.

But it took a mentor saying to get in the best shape of your life and rock it as a 40-year-old.

I sat there and it hit me like a ton of bricks, first I was embarrassed, but then it was like a light bulb lit.

Ok cool, I got this…do what I know to do.

Reasonable Workouts

For me Walking (Tony has done zero cardio and is pretty proud of that!)

Fuel our body well

Focus on quality sleep

Drink Water

When you feel stuck it is amazing what “problems” we can create in our world, stress is a silent, not-so-silent killer.

We hold the answers to what we need to do, but you have to be willing to listen, and yes it can be this simple.

Create the next version of you, I promise it will be worth it.

I hope this can give you some inspiration that hey you are on the right path or help give you that nudge that I got this and I don’t have to do this alone.

We love what we do all day every day!

And we are here to serve.

Let us know if you need help and as always love your feedback!

Go get ’em’!

Hi Tony,

I wanted to share something we did yesterday and some thoughts I had around it.

​
We had this gap week of not having child care and our kids’ school not starting till next week.

​
Tony and I decided to condense our schedules a bit and take two days to do things we normally wouldn’t do on a weekday with the kids.

​
We decided to go hiking at one of our State Parks.

​
I had never been before, and Tony was a child the last time he had been on the trails.

​
I decided trail 3 looked fun, it was one of the longer more rugged trails…we got this.

​
With our 4 and 6-year-old in tow, we started down the trail.
​

I think they always ease you into the trails before you realize what you are truly in for.
​

It was beautiful, with sandstone all around us.
​

Just enough water to get a little muddy, which the kids loved.
​

The sounds so soothing, the smell of being in nature…
​

Then the…are we there yet.​
​

No.

​
But to be honest I had no idea how far we had gone and if we were even on the right trail still!

​
I also read that this particular trail had 140 steps in it.
​

I knew we “got this”.
​

And this is what I wanted to share with you.​
​

Tony and I decided to wait until later in life to have kids and that does come with its unique challenges.

​
I have had the tear-filled showers where I think about not seeing our kids have kids or being the oldest parents at graduation.
​

But “this” is what it’s about…
​

Learning that age is just a number.
​

It means nothing.
​

And taking care of my health is my number one priority.​
​

Leo was so tired and when he looked up at the last flight of stairs he started to whimper.
​

I had to hand it to him, Momma was tired too.
​

But I told him to get on my back and let’s do this together.
​

44 lbs of love on my back and Tony cheering me on!
​

This is why I do the squats, do the lunges, do the protein, do the water, and do the breathing.
​

It’s so that I know no matter what life throws at me I am ready.​
​

If that means putting 44 lbs on my back and trekking up the stairs…we got this.
​

I think about always being able to run around and play with the kids.
​

It matters.

I wanted to share all this today that you are your number one asset, it is never too late to focus on you.

When you do, anything is possible.

Even trail three with a six-year-old on your back!

You Can Lose Weight and Enjoy the Process

Hope you are having a great day!

Today I wanted to give a message of being able to have the things you want and not feeling you have to sacrifice to get them.

 

I have always been of the mindset that if I wanted something I had to grind, hustle work hard.

Or good things come to those who wait.

Go big or go home.

I am sure there are so many others you can think about.

These are sayings, that we learn super young, and shape our perception of what it takes to get what you want.

What if you could lose weight and it be fun and easy in the process?

What if you go big or bigger?

What if good things come fast and easy?

This is a concept that was presented to Tony and I and it has 100% shifted our perspective.

And I wanted to share it with you.

We don’t have to sacrifice to get what we want.

And I want to bring it back to weight loss.

What if you could enjoy your food and lose weight?

What if you could enjoy workouts, enjoy food, and enjoy weight loss?

It’s a matter of shifting the focus and thoughts around what we can or cannot have.

I no longer think in scarcity and that I have to give something up to get the other.

Such a shift and I encourage you to consider this concept.

What if you could win and win bigger?

Pretty fun right?

Who says you have to sacrifice to lose weight?

I think that sounds awful.

Most of this comes from years of programming and things we have heard said over and over.

So there you have it.

Would love to hear what you reframe.

It is a simple shift and can make all the difference.

Let me know what you think,

Arin

We are taught limitation

I had no idea how much I would use mental training in our fitness/health/wellness training.

When coaching clients and even myself it has been wildly fascinating helping clients become who was always inside of them.

It has led Tony and me on a wild ride of understanding our own mental programming and how to use it to help others.

 

When we help someone with weight loss it is more than working out and eating well.

It’s about becoming the person that was always there, but we get lost along the way.

So many times we see someone say I can’t lose weight, because of X.

Or I am not athletic.

I hate working out.

Or I don’t know how to cook, eat healthy…fill in the blank.

When none of this is true.

Stay with me.

All of us are born infinite.

We can do anything and I truly believe this.

But we are taught limitations or we put limitations on ourselves.

We hear certain things, we listen to others’ beliefs, media, and social media.

We are infinite beings that can figure anything out if it is something that you want.

So the real secret is knowing what you want.

Then why do you want what you want?

Your Why has to be bigger than your why not.

Then we have to align your focus.

When you can get laser-focused on your health, for example, it is awesome how quickly you can see results.

I watch this happen with our clients in the gym and online.

When it clicks it clicks.

It is and was always inside of you…sometimes you simply need it unlocked!

Let us know if you need help unlocking what is already inside of you!

Go get them,

Arin

When you feel good…

Hope you are having a great day!

I wanted to talk today about feeling good.

We talk all the time about weight loss and I thought I would switch it up a bit.

We all love when the scale goes down or we nail our goal.

But have you ever stepped back and realized how good you feel or don’t feel?

It’s an incredible feeling to have energy and clarity.

What I know happens, because I have felt this myself, is you don’t realize how bad you feel till it’s really bad.

And we lose sight of what it feels like to be full of energy and clarity.

I know for myself it is a natural high every day to wake up after awesome sleep and then tackle the day.

You have so much more clarity.

You are more creative.

You are more understanding.

You are more loving.

So how do you create the feeling?

First, you have to get clear on what you want. If you are tired of being sick and tired cool, let’s draw a line in the sand.

Sleep 7-9 hrs. each night

Drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water or match your body weight

Walk 7,500-10,000 Steps per day

Eat well, focus on protein, veggies, and fruits

It truly is this simple.

Don’t overcomplicate it and as always if you need help or if you find yourself always giving in to food or whatever reach out.

We can help you put your plan in place and then execute it.

You deserve to have good energy and clarity all day every day.

Just think about what you can create, who you can serve, and who you can be when you feel awesome!

You got this,

Arin
