279: How To Avoid Weight Regain

One of my clients, Chris, joined the Fat Loss Fast Track because though she had already lost a lot of weight, she was beginning to put it back on.

This wasn’t a new cycle but it was one she didn’t want to continue. She didn’t want to keep doing what she’d always done – losing weight, gaining it back, working hard to lose it again.

Today we’re having a candid conversation about why she turned to the Fat Loss Fast Track to help avoid weight regain and how she broke out of that cycle.

Not only does Chris talk about what worked for her like journaling and switching to more fat loss friendly breakfast options, but we discuss what’s not going so well. We talk about overeating at night and struggling with the pursuit of perfection.

I think you’re really going to enjoy Chris’s story!

How To Avoid Weight Regain

After beginning to put on weight she had lost, Chris joined the Fat Loss Fast Track. She shares that some of the most effective strategies she adopted include journaling and eating a fat loss breakfast.

I’ve shared my thoughts on journaling here and go over the details of what makes up a fat loss breakfast here and here.

We also talk a lot about implied apologies for imperfections and the all-or-nothing attitude which I’ve talked about here.

278: 2017 Blueprint For Achievement

I used to set a lot of goals. I didn’t achieve most of them.

I thought about them a lot & wanted them badly – I even had a plan for achieving them. But routinely, I failed to do the work and, year after year, I had less confidence in my ability to achieve.

Fortunately, things have changed. I have changed. And in today’s episode I want to share with you my 2017 blueprint for achievement, completely goal-free.

2017 Blueprint for Achievement

When I set goals, I didn’t realize at the time that I was basically convincing myself that things, as they were right now, weren’t enough and I was always wishing for some future point in time.

When I lost weight…

When I had more money…

When my relationship was better…

By always wishing for a different time,  place, or circumstance, I wasn’t fully present in the moment. And not being fully present, I couldn’t really take advantage of the ONLY time & place where change was possible: the present.

But, I’m a high achiever. I don’t want to settle. How to remain fully present in the current moment and also reach my highest potential?

I do that by having a manifesto or a blueprint.

By creating the standards by which I want to live my life and focusing on them each day, the results take care of themselves.

When I live according to my values and principles, the outcomes are a byproduct without sacrificing mindfulness and gratitude.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing with you my revised manifesto.

I created it and put it up on the Primal Potential blog in August of 2015 and boy does it ever need some updating.

I hope you’ll tune in to hear my blueprint for success in 2017 and also take some time to create your own.

I am strong with purpose & light at heart

I give myself the best

I look for chances to make myself proud

I travel light, refusing to carry what’s not mine to hold

I cherish those who cherish me

No matter what happens, I am not a victim

Life is hard, and I’m grateful for the challenges

I am unapologetically authentic and those who don’t accept that help me ensure my inner circle is true & real

I spend for more time acting on what I want than thinking about it

My attention flows to solutions, not problems

I challenge myself to go a step further than I think I can

I make no assumptions – when I am unclear, I ask questions

I never lie, especially to myself

I am generous with my time, my heart and my money

I am patient with myself and everyone I meet

I appreciate moment and maximize minutes

I outwork yesterday’s best

Doubt is a liar and courage will set me free
