GOAL SETTING FOR 2022: SETTING SUSTAINABLE GOALS YOU CAN STICK TO

Why are gyms and fitness classes packed with new gym-goers in the beginning of January but then back to normal crowds come mid-February? I don’t think the problem is that we’re bad at trying to be healthier, but that we are inherently bad at setting ourselves up with New Year’s resolutions we can actually keep. Today we’re talking about 3 things you can do set goals you can actually keep in 2022.

WHY WE STRESS EAT: A PHYSIOLOGICAL RESPONSE, NOT A WILLPOWER PROBLEM

I believe it can be really helpful to understand what our body’s physiological response to stress looks like and how it relates to food (including digging into why stress eating can feel so good).

WEIGHT FLUCTUATIONS ARE NORMAL

This fixation with the scale is a pattern we see with clients often. It’s natural, but it’s also preventable. Rather than just suggesting that you don’t let the number on the scale bother you, today’s post dives a little deeper into how you can make the most of this (often inaccurate) measure of progress and other ways to determine the true changes you are experiencing on your fat loss journey.

ALL ABOUT TRACKING YOUR MACROS: PART 1

You’ve probably heard the word “macros” or know someone who has “tracked” them when working towards a fat loss or performance goal. The idea of tracking macros is not new in the health and fitness industry, but if it’s new to you, it may seem confusing. We use the term Flexible Nutrition to describe the process of tracking macros, which is the approach we use with our clients who are working towards fat loss, performance, and overall health goals.

MEAL PREP FROM NUTRITION COACHES

Just as there is no one size fits all approach when it comes to nutrition, there’s also no one size fits all approach to meal prep.  Everyone has different macro targets and every individual can choose how much time is spent in the kitchen in order to hit these targets. However you choose to prep your food should suit your lifestyle and be sustainable for long-term success. 

To give you a bit more insight into what meal prep while tracking your macros can look like, we are showing you what a week of meal prep looks like for each of us. While we all follow the same concept of flexible nutrition, our approaches are very different and are dependent on our personal lifestyles.

EAT A DAMN VEGETABLE

With Thanksgiving behind us, the holidays are definitely in full swing. It feels like just about every other post I see from anyone in the health or fitness industry is about how not to overeat at holiday meals or parties. I do think there’s a lot of value in being strategic or even just extra mindful about your food intake through the season - but if your household is anything like mine, you probably need to be aware of what’s missing from your fridge and not just how to handle the extra cookies that are making their way into your kitchen.
