HELP! I don't know why I'm struggling so much with my eating. I have hard time getting motivated. I know what I should do... I'm just not doing it. I'm stuck!
Sound familiar? If so, congratulations, you're human. And today on the podcast, I'll help you get unstuck so that you can move forward toward your best self.
This week's podcast is in response to an email I received from a member of Ascend. She wrote:
"Hi Tanja, As I’ve been absent at boot camp for over 4 weeks due to various reasons, I’m experiencing a ‘ getting back into exercise anxiety’. As I’ve also not kept up any other exercises during this time, I feel like it’s a huge mountain to climb, or a super heavy door to open. I’m afraid I will have regressed tremendously and taking the first step this week to return is just almost as hard as entering the doors for the first time? Do you have any suggestions? Thanks"
It's September, and the beginning of a 'new year' is the perfect time to tackle the challenge of getting back on track after being MIA from your regular routine. Join me on this week's podcast as I do just that!
I like to think of fat loss, (if you legitimately have fat to lose), as the natural consequence of taking care of your health. It’s not the goal: it’s the side effect. And while you may be doing ‘everything right’, your body still may not be shedding fat. And that does not mean you’re unsuccessful, or that you are not improving your health, or that you won’t eventually lose fat. As frustrating as it can be, know that your body never tries to work against you.
For you, fat loss may be the top priority. But for your body, it’s not. Your body is hardwired to help you survive, and your body’s desire to survive and your mind’s desire to slim down may not always jive. Fortunately, there are things you can do to help.
In this podcast you'll learn a few less common factors what impact your body’s ability to lose fat. My goal is to give you a brief overview so that if any of the reasons resonate with you, you can further explore your own health and fitness program and make adjustments if necessary.
Do you feel judged by others, especially other women? Or, do you find yourself comparing yourself to those around you, and perhaps trying to pick apart and being others down? Do you feel like you have no boundaries and are give most of your time and energy to others: career, family, friends, parents, with little time to 'fill your own bucket?'. If so, this podcast is recorded just for you.
Up until recently, I only knew a little bit about Aryn Savard: I knew she owned the Goddess Movement, a pole fitness and circus studio in Abbotsford BC- and that she can dance... like really dance (click here to visit her Facebook page and check out the videos!) But when we met up for a walk (yes, with her dogs), the conversation flowed, and I knew you'd love to hear from her.
We cover a lot of topics such as...
