No complaining for 30 days šŸ˜¬

Whatā€™s this got to do with fitness?

At first glance, not a whole lot I guess.

But if you know me, you know Iā€™m about more than just sets and reps.

I like to also pay attention and take action on things like gratitude and resilience.

So along the lines of gratitude, focusing on not doubling down on negativity and complaining fits right in.

If anything, this is an opportunity to be more aware of how often I dwell on negative things, in addition to how I respond when complaining comes my way.

Simply put, I donā€™t have to co-sign my internal complaints with a verbal agreement. I also donā€™t have to co-sign someone elseā€™s complaints with my own.

Will that help me reach my fitness goals? I donā€™t know šŸ˜‚

I do believe Iā€™ll be in a better headspace though.

If you can relate, take up the challenge when itā€™s right for YOU.

I can do better.

When someone tells me they want muscle, but not ā€œtoo muchā€, I take it as a signal to be more consistent on what it takes to even put on (and keep) a significant amount of muscle.

Iā€™m not even talking about things like PEDs.

Iā€™m talking about the basics that we (coaches and trainers) say ā€œIf I showed you my workouts and my food everyday, youā€™d be boredā€

Iā€™m talking (for me) the repetitive training with progressing intensity, the basic ingredients as the foundation of most meals, the 200+ grams of protein, the drinking 100+ ounces of water, the taking 30 minute walks around the field before my sonā€™s baseball game startsā€¦

ā€¦and Iā€™m talking about having done those things consistently for YEARS.

Hear me clearly - These are things I enjoy, because theyā€™re the foundation of my fitness, and support everything else that I do.

I believe thereā€™s still a ways to go with truly getting the message to connect that whatever your fitness goals are, they take a consistent commitment to things that, on the surface, are probably going to be bore a lot of you.

Iā€™ll post them anyway. āœŒšŸ¾

Yes, I eat donuts šŸ©

Let this be a reminder:

1) Unsolicited comments and opinions are directed at everyone. So if you currently identify as ā€œout of shapeā€, and think folks will stop making comments about your food choices when you get ā€œin shapeā€ā€¦.think again šŸ’šŸ¾ā€ā™‚ļø

2) Your nutrition choices need to align with what matters to you (ie your goals and your lifestyle). One of my foundational habits is EAT WELL. I interpret that to mean that I primarily fuel myself with foods that support my physical movement, while including things that I just straight up enjoy eatingā€¦like the Fruity Pebbles donut šŸ¤¤

3) If youā€™re seeing this, and you donā€™t already follow me, you should šŸ™šŸ¾

You can have a rough day without making it mean youā€™re staring over.

After you go down the list of everything that ā€œwent wrongā€, ask yourself: Now what?

The answer to that question is going to matter more than the stuff you missed.

The next decision is still available.

Different seasons of life often change the variables,
but that doesnā€™t mean the outcome is predetermined.

Be aware of constant messaging that makes you feel like getting older and approaching menopause is essentially putting you one foot in the grave and adding 250 lbs of fat overnight šŸ˜‘

Thereā€™s a big difference between correlation and causation, but depending on who you follow, youā€™d never know that.

One is going to lead you down the road of feeling helpless, while the other is going to challenge you to take ownership and be intentional about your actions.

Choose wisely.

šŸ“Iā€™ve noticed folks donā€™t usually struggle with naming their goals.

The harder question is: What does my life look like right now?

We have a hard time communicating our current habits, our current routineā€¦our current overall reality.

Thereā€™s value in getting an assessment of where you are RIGHT NOW.

A GPS isnā€™t helpful if the starting point is off.
