How YOU CAN LOSE WEIGHT “Mindlessly.”
So last week we talked about the Mindless margin. To give you a quick summary, the Mindless margin is what allows us to eat and gain weight mindlessly. But here's the good news, we can use the Mindless margin in reverse and actually allow it to help us lose weight. So instead of mindlessly overeating, we need to learn how to mindlessly under eat to lose weight. What Dr. Wansinnk claims is that there is a Zone in which you do not notice if you eat more calories or fewer calories. Take this for example, if you eat 600 to 1000 calories a day,...
Mrs. Brown lost 3 lbs by eating more protein and logging her food.
Today's post is short and sweet. A client of mine lost 3 lb in the course of 3 days (NOT TYPICAL). The same client had previously been stuck on the same weight for about 3 weeks. The good news was that she been faithfully logging her food and documenting everything that she consumed. This allowed us to have data to see what was keeping her stuck at her current weight. Now, an important side note, unlike most people, this client actually logged everything she put into her mouth. So we had real day to day data. It wasn't, “I had some of this...
Client’s pants don’t fit right, good or bad thing?
The other day I was training a client and he was complaining about how he couldn't find pants that fit right anymore. I know...
Kenna doesn’t want “Sugar” Just like you don’t want a lean trim body…
Just last weekend we celebrated my youngest, Kenna’s 3rd birthday. And as you can imagine there was cake and ice cream and all the sugar a three-year-old could possibly want. But guess what, Kenna said she doesn’t “want” sugar...
Be nice and complement a stranger this week…daily :-)
This week I'm going completely off the reservation. This week's challenge is going to be a legit challenge, it's going to be fun, but it'll likely be a bit awkward :-). This week I want you to give a genuine compliment to at least one complete stranger everyday :-). Why do I want you to do this? There's a couple of different reasons. First off, when you compliment someone you give them a little, “pick me up.” You like when someone compliments you and gives you a little boost right? So, instead of just being a receiver, I would love for you to...
How YOU Gain Weight “Mindlessly”
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox/15b05d9fb9dbac5d The MINDLESS MARGIN! It is that time of year when you start pulling out some of your spring and summer clothes. Unfortunately, if you're like a lot of people, you don't feel super confident or comfortable as you did at the end of last summer. When you try on those old pants or swimsuits they seem a little snug around the hips and thighs. So what happened? According to Dr. Brian Wansink, the mindless margin happened! Dr. Brian explains that the Mindless Margin is a Zone where we can slightly over eat or slightly under eat and we don't even realize it....
Courtney a long time client of mine got asked for her old clothes : 0!
I won't lie this is a weird story even for me. Courtney has been training with me for about 8 months. One of her co-workers at work approached her and asked if she could have her old, “bigger” spring and summer clothes. I've never heard of anyone asking someone else for their older bigger clothes, crazy right!? But that's what Courtney's friend did :-). I guess Courtney's friends figured that since she was leaner, more fit, and toned she didn't need her old spring and summer clothes that were too big for her now, and she was right :-). Courtney went home...
A Client’s Friend Lost 6 lbs…Want to know how?
A client’s friend lost 6 lbs by following my client’s advice she learned at Just You Fitness. The advice really isn't earth-shattering. My client simply told her friend how I had her logging her food on MyFitnessPal. MyFitnessPal is an app developed by Under Armour that allows you to track your food and it tells you how many calories you consumed and what your Macros are. What makes it even better is that this tool is absolutely 100% free : ). After hearing about how my client has been logging her food and how she's been losing weight and improving her...
Want a Customized Exercise Plan for JUST YOU?
Are you a master planner? This past weekend I help my parents move some of their stuff into a storage unit. I'm sure everyone enjoys moving as much as I do :-). What made the task even more difficult is my dad ordered a truck that was supposed to be bigger than what he actually needed. This was supposed to make it easier to pack and manage. He wouldn’t have to “arrange” and “plan” things as precisely. The problem was when he went to pick up the truck, they didn't have the larger size truck...
