#038 - It’s the holiday season! This means over the next 45 days or so, you’re going to be inundated with cookies, holiday parties, family dinners, eggnog, spiced cider cocktails, and whatever figgy pudding is... Many of us typically gain a tremendous amount of weight during the holiday season - anywhere from 5 to 15 pounds. Eventually, some of that weight comes off, but for the vast majority, there’s a lingering pound or two that stays with us for the long term, which added up year after year becomes 10-20 pounds in just a few short years. So, how do we survive the holiday season without looking like Santa Clause?  In this episode, I'm sharing my top 7 strategies, including some quick tips around alcohol!

Well, what if we lost 10-15 pounds over the holiday season instead? On this episode, I'm sharing my top 3 tips to LOSING weight over the holidays instead of gaining weight! That doesn't mean you can't enjoy a holiday party or two!

#035 - Where is your focus? All too often, we focus on what we DON'T want rather than we DO want, which leads us to visualize failures and attracting more negativity in our hearts and minds. This is especially true when we're setting health and fitness goals. For example, you might say something like, "I don't want to be out of shape anymore." or, "I don't want to feel like this anymore." Rather than focusing on what you don't want, learn how to shift your focus on what it is you DO actually WANT. By challenging yourself to state things in terms of what you DO want, you train your attention to explore what you're seeking rather than what you're avoiding

#034 - Are you waiting for your dreams to come true, or are you actively chiseling away at your goals? What's the difference? Well, for one thing, goals are something you've written down or proclaimed. Goals are something you're acting on. Goals require action. On the other hand, dreams are something you're just thinking about. They often don't come with a plan, measurable benchmarks, and most of the time,, and worst of all, daydreaming about our goals requires zero action, yet make us feel all warm and squishy inside as though our dreams have come true. Discovering your big WHY and the reasons for accomplishing your specific milestones. It's more than putting a date on a daydream. You are creating an energetic connection from your dreams to your reality.

#032 - Fathers need "me time" too. It's not just moms who put everyone else first. As a busy working dad, there's a good chance that you spend hours a day working and then the rest of your time prioritizing your family. There's also a good chance that you spend very little time actually working on yourself, and the little time that you do get to yourself is probably when your in the bathroom, showering, or sleeping. So this week's episode is all about investing in yourself so that you can actually be the father you were meant to be and the leader of your family! Specifically, I'm sharing my top 3 tips to investing in yourself: skills, creativity, and mind and body so that you can be the best version of yourself and a role model for your family!

What metrics are you using to measure progress?⁣
⁣
If you're using just one metric to measure your progress like a number on the scale, you might not be getting the full picture. ⁣Weight is just one way to measure your progress. ⁣But the number on the scale might be deceiving or even deflating, especially as you replace fat with muscle mass, which is more dense than fat and thus weighs more, resulting in a seemingly stagnant scale number. ⁣On this week's episode, I'm sharing my top tips to measuring your progress, including specific metrics to measure so that you get an accurate, full picture of your progress over time!
