Actually, You Are a Real Runner

We always think we need to go super hardcore to get extreme results, but the extreme actions breed more extreme actions... meaning if you lose 15lbs really fast, you will probably gain those 15lbs really fast again.  The habits are not sustainable.   I chat with fitness competitor, runner, all around bad-ass, and my business coach and mentor, Jill Coleman, about how to get out of this cy...

Usually after a weekend of eating all the food, we vow to be perfect on Monday to clean things up... But by Thursday, perfect is less than perfect and by Friday, we just want to eat all the food, starting the weekend binge again. What if we just focused on getting to "normal" instead of perfectly clean? And yes, normal is imperfect. Imperfect is normal.  ------------------------- JOIN THE IMP...

Meal plans kinda make us dumber: "Just eat what's on the plan! Follow the plan and you'll be successful." It kinda reminds me of when I was a first year teacher and taught my kindergartners strict rules to follow for math but didn't teach problem solving skills. Oh yeah. Those.   When there is something off the plan, do you know what to do? Learn what hunger signals your body is giving you, a...

I used to binge on dried fruit because "it was clean" and I used it as fuel while doing my long runs... Also because chips, pizza, and cookies "were dirty" and off limits. I had a lot of guilt about the bingeing, so instead of dealing with why I was bingeing, I kept adding foods to my list of off limits trigger foods. It used to be just chips, pizza, and cookies... and it got longer and included d...
