The Pain of Discipline is Less than the Pain of Regret

February 3, 2022

Being disciplined is hard. Early morning workouts are tough. So are late evening workouts. Even midday workouts force you to reorder your life to accommodate them. Choosing healthier foods is hard. Cooking regularly can be challenging. Being active on a daily basis for life can be tough. Yet, the pain of discipline is far less…

Never Chase What You Want from Others

January 27, 2022

We are all driven by primal desires for acceptance and love. Unfortunately, sometimes those desires can lead us down a path that we don’t need to be one, with people who are not meant for us. If love, affection, or attention is too hard to come by, consider changing up your people, not changing yourself….

Why Choose to Fail?

January 20, 2022

It never seems like a big deal, does it? Having a soda at lunch each day seems small, after all. Driving past the gym after work and not stopping to workout doesn’t seem like a big deal, either. But you must remember that each time you do this, you are actively choosing to fail. You…

Start Doing It

January 13, 2022

It’s true, the hardest part is getting started. Choosing to change over comfort isn’t easy, no matter your intention. However, the good thing is, once you start, the hardest thing becomes stopping. Making a decision to get up in the morning instead of hitting snooze, the way you have so many times before, may feel…

How Important Are Your Excuses?

January 6, 2022

Self-sabotaging behaviour may often seem like a means of damaging ourselves, kicking ourselves when we’re down. But at the end of the day, making excuses for why you aren’t actively pursuing your goals is more of a crutch. Excuses keep you comfortable. They keep you grounded in what’s familiar. You have the best intentions, but…

Feed Your Dreams, Not Your Demons

December 30, 2021

Your dreams are as hungry as your demons. Make sure you’re feeding the right ones. You only have a certain amount of energy you can expend in a given day. Where are you putting your mental energy? Which side are you feeding? Are you making conscious choices to improve your health and improve your life?…

If you Wait for Perfect Conditions you’ll Never Get Anything Done

December 23, 2021

There’s no room for perfectionism on this journey. A perfectionist mindset says, “if I don’t have the perfect schedule/plan/knowledge,” I might as well not even try. This is a defeatist way of thinking that sets you up to fail before you even begin. Instead, we hope you’ll start where you are with what you have….

The Struggles Make you Stronger and the Changes Make you Wiser

December 16, 2021

If losing weight and getting in shape was easy, everyone would be doing it. Yet, obesity rates are out of control, and many people feel that their body has a mind of its own, unyielding to anything they try to do to make it conform. Real change comes from challenge. If you lift the same…

Stay Positive, Stay Fighting, Stay Brave

December 9, 2021

Nothing great is ever accomplished without a few obstacles. This includes losing weight and gaining the body you’ve always wanted. You’ll have days when you don’t want to workout. You’ll have days when you’ll binge on something unhealthy or go overboard at happy hour. You’ll have days when the scale goes up a pound or…

Your Legs are not Giving Out your Head is Giving Up

December 2, 2021

Our brains are hardwired for easy, repeatable activities. This is why certain habits seem to stick, even when we desperately want to change. But we know that change ultimately happens when we choose what’s hard when it counts. Not everything has to be hard, of course. But if you’re choosing between doing the last set…
