“You’re Going to Run Out of Health Before You Run Out of Money” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Depending on which way you look at it, it can mean:
#YOLO!!! Take that trip you dream of, ditch work to go fishing, buy the most expensive thing on the menu. While moderation is key to success in most things, moderation also makes branching out to the extreme even more appealing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, while it might not suit you to quit your job and become a trout bum, it might make your life a lot more gratifying if you could become a trout bum for a few weeks out of the year instead of waiting till you retire. Yeah, yeah, work’s busy right now. Maybe next year. Or the next. Or the next…What excuses are you giving yourself for not taking the next step? Most of us have a whole list! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One thing you can do right now is to take control of your health! Fitness and nutrition are the keys to vitality in your later years. But what aren’t you doing that you could be? A lot of us hem and haw about the price of organic, or the added expense of seeing a Physical Therapist, Chiropractor or Massage Therapist about our aches and pains, or how hard it is to get 8 hours of sleep a day. Yeah, those things are kinda true, but in the long run, what if that’s the difference between living a long, healthy, active life and not? Where do your values lie? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Another thing to consider? Reevaluating your perspective on finances. We seek more, more and more, yet, at a certain income level, it’s been proven that happiness doesn’t increase with more income. Let’s face it, many people fall into the trap of, “if I were only making “x”, my problems would be solved and I could relax a little.” Sure enough, that number comes and goes, and the relaxation never does. Worshipping that dollar is a never-ending battle. We’re all incredibly fortunate to have running water, easy access to food, shelter, etc. After that, it’s all just stuff. Stuff doesn’t control your emotions. You control your emotions. Pass these lessons on to your kids. Live a full life and don’t regret not doing things you want to when you have the chance. #motivationmonday

A little #weekendmotivation. The important thing is not where you start but THAT you start. If you wait for the perfect time, well, it's probably never going to come. Find people that push you to do YOUR best, focus on improving and competing against YOU, give YOUR 100% and the possibilities are endless.
Tag a friend who encourages you to give 100% when you want to give up.

Ok, so it's the weekend. Woohoo right?

Right.

But (and we’re certainly not here to judge), the weekend also means it's much easier to get out of your routine and be subjected to temptations. Rest, relaxation and letting go a little on the weekends is a very positive thing, but that doesn't mean that everything should get thrown out the window.

We see more diets and nutritional plans get sabotaged on the weekend than we can remember. Most people feel really positive about the 5 days they did during the week, so they feel like they can reward themselves on the weekend. Can you relate?? Unfortunately, weekends make up almost 30% of your entire week. So if even if you're perfect during the week, but go hog wild on the weekend, you're still only getting a C- in total.

Here’s an example...
Say your daily calorie intake should be around 1500 cals to maintain your current weight. You do that for the week. Awesome.

The weekend comes around and you say, screw it. You have a few more cocktails and maybe dessert. Let's say you average 800 calories extra a day. (That may sound drastic, but we commonly see it happen.) So your daily intake for each of those two days is 2300 calories. That brings your average for the week to 1730 calories/day, or 230 extra calories/day.

It takes +/- 3500 calories per pound of weight gained or lost. If you have a perfect 5 days at 1500, but two at 2300 calories on the weekend, instead of maintaining your weight over 3 months, you would gain roughly 6.5 pounds. Over a year, it would be a net gain of 24 pounds! WOWZA

I'm sure this sounds dramatic, but remember, this is with you maintaining perfection throughout the week, which may or may not be realistic.

Let's look at this in a positive way, if blowing it on the weekend has that kind of result, just imagine how much better it will be for you in the long run by just paying a little more attention than normal on the weekend?! We think coming up with a game plan ahead of time is the key. Like getting a longer workout in on Saturday or offer to bring a dish to that social gathering.
What’s one thing you can do to help take control of your nutrition on the weekends?

Do you feel like your body needs a reset? Like you want to have a plan for success this fall, but you don’t know where to start? Maybe you hit it hard in the gym and with nutrition before summer and now you're looking to clean up your act a bit after a ton of fun. Or perhaps, it's been too long since you focused on yourself--kids, work, or health can get in the way of our self-care. .
.
.

Wherever you're starting from, the Fall Reset Challenge starts next Tuesday and is the perfect chance to refocus, recommit, and reset. 60 days all about you! This is not a one size fits all approach. It's about creating a plan that works for YOU, leaving you satisfied, fueled and without the cravings that come from those wonky crash diets. .
.
.

During these 60 Days we’ll get to know you, your goals, your real life, and design a plan that you can really stick to. .
.

If you've failed before, don't worry, we've got your back. We're all about building a life-long habit and providing accountability. From one-on-one and group meetings to a private Facebook group filled with other challengers we'll make sure you have the support you need to keep going and reach your goals. Check out the link in our bio with all the details to register or shoot us a DM and we can answer any questions you have. We only have 5 spots left, so if you're thinking about joining us, make sure to get your spot!

#motivationmonday Consistency is the key. Do you have a plan this week about how you’re keeping your fitness and nutrition on track? Our favorite hack is adding workouts to your calendar, make an appointment with yourself and commit to keeping it. What’s your best advice for keeping appointments with yourself? Share it below!

#Thursdaythought...Summer is waning and if you’re like us all we can think about is getting back into a solid routine. We tend to loosen up on everything and enjoy the sunshine, blue skies and a few extra treats (s’mores anyone!) We do this knowing it’s a short season and that we have a plan to get back on track as soon as summer comes to a close. Here are a few tips for Resetting this September if you’re craving routine like us.

1️⃣
Clean out the crap! That bag of chips, chocolate bar and half eaten pint of ice cream hiding in the back of the fridge, get them out of the house. If your pantry/fridge is filled with good quality ingredients it makes staying on track so much easier. Stock your pantry with whole grains, legumes, canned veggies, canned fish, protein bars and nut butters. And fill your fridge with leafy greens, fresh fruit and lean proteins and you’re set to make a quick healthy meal whenever you need it.

2️⃣
Up your water intake. Perhaps the fastest way to start feeling like yourself again is to get hydrated. The summer sun, beers and treats can wreak havoc on your hydration and digestion. Adequate water intake assists in major bodily functions, lubricates your tissues, regulates your temperature and provides vital minerals. We suggest drinking half your body weight in ounces as a starting point. Plus, being properly hydrated also helps you fight cravings and stay full longer--a win in our book.

3️⃣
Make a plan. Half the battle in getting back into a routine is starting with a plan of how that’s going to happen, right? Try scheduling an hour on the weekend to think about the week’s meals and come up with a plan to make sure you have healthy eating options at the ready. We love the @rosieapp (in Sandpoint) for ordering groceries online. We love the flexibility it offers and that it takes away the excuse of “I didn’t have time to grocery shop, so I HAVE to eat out”. Even if you don’t have time to meal prep, knowing that your fridge is stocked with healthy options ready to prepare makes healthy eating WAY easier. 🆗
If you’re looking for accountability with getting back on track, our Fall Nutrition Challenge starts Sept. 11th (link in bio!)

While we all start this #fitnessjourney to be come a better version of ourselves an added bonus is the amazing relationships that develop when we commit to a routine. Last week the 6am crew showed up even earlier 😱 to get a workout in and have time for cupcakes and a farewell to @q_pearl before he headed back for his senior year of college. We’d say that’s a heck of a lot better than slaving away alone on a treadmill for hours, don’t ya think?

Moms (and Dads too) we know how hard it is to make your health and wellness a priority once kids are involved. If you’re working, managing a household, and trying to wrangle your kids, sometimes if feels like there’s no room for yourself. [Double tap if you’re in this boat!] This quote from our nutrition client @alisonkellogg is 💯 percent why we do what we do. Helping people get their bodies back is great, but helping them feel more like themselves again and live a happier, healthier life both mentally and physically is really the best part. .
.
. “I love being a mom, but it’s hard. There’s always more to do than there’s time for, so I’ve struggled making my mental and physical health a priority. Working with Kenny and Jenn during this program helped me figure out how to incorporate healthier habits into my busy day. I’ve learned that focusing on myself is something to feel proud of, not guilty about, and I’m happy to set a good example for my family.” (lost 24 lbs. & 9% body fat!) .
.
.

Success in nutrition and lifestyle is about intentionality, taking the time to really focus on what you want and make a plan to get there. You know what else helps? Having a coach and support group to keep you accountable, motivated and moving. When you take 60 days to focus on yourself, with the support of a community the results are amazing. .
.
.

Our next 60 Day Challenge starts on September 11th. 60 days to a healthier, fitter, more vibrant you. You don’t have to be a member to join us either! We work with clients one on one, in person or remotely. If you’re ready to make yourself a priority this fall you can sign up at the link below or in our bio. .

“It didn’t look that bad on the board!”

@lifeofdecker is an example of a nearly impeccable execution of a nutrition plan. By taking a full year, and making steady progress, we were able to implement changes and ingrain them in her life for the long haul.
We started with the basics. We made small refinements, removed some foods, added others, and worked to build habits that were sustainable long term. By working through the full year, we got to tackle the challenges that arrive in life; holidays, vacations, peaks and valleys in motivation, and more.
Then, after months of steady progress, we took the last 8 weeks to ramp it up. We dialed in a specifically timed macro and meal plan to get her to her final goal weight.
Finally, we took the last 4 weeks to level off. We wanted to ingrain this being the new normal. Allowing for more leeway and less accountability, as she goes to fly on her own, we know that she is comfortable with this and will be able to tackle the challenges, ups and downs that life can throw at a her.

I'm very proud of her, but am mostly excited about how excited she is. We talked a lot about confidence and getting back to feeling good in summer wear after having two kids. In the end, we accomplished exactly what we set out to do, get her in a place where she felt great in a swimsuit, felt proud of looking awesome after having two kids, and did it in a way that ensures long term success.

Total Results: -16lbs
