THE Secret to Your Success with Weight Loss

Okay, I just reeled you in again with that title. But isn't that what every blogger, website, news site, and journalist is doing? You may not be realizing one other that you are being duped in by. It is the very industry I am working in. Health and "Fitness".

Did you know its cheap to buy crap, WAIT, i mean, potions and elixirs, I MEAN, dependency issues, AGHHH, I mean powders and pills... aka supplements in bulk?!?! NO REP required! Photo Courtesy of Noah Scott #NutritionbyNoah

There are trainers and "nutritionists" everywhere just eager to show you how to become a better looking version of yourself! Guess what... YOU ALREADY LOOK AMAZING. So they can sit on it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with your physical appearance. There is nothing wrong with your actions or your goals. I am even going to go as far as telling you that there is nothing wrong with the way you make choices or decisions.

I sound crazy don't I?

This may get deep, so just bare with me. The industry of "Health" is littered with money hungry folks who could truly care less about your level of health unless they are talking financial health. What they want to do is create a vortex of issues you may or may not have and create the BEST program just for you and your... problems? It could be food related, could be movement related, could be an exercise program. Sadly, this is all incorrect.

You see. We think we have gone deep enough or, as they say in the sales world, "peeled away the layers" and derived your true "Why". But what they haven't realized, is they are not even to the foundation of what makes us who we are.

So here is where I am coming from with this:

Thinking creates Choices and Decisions, which creates Actions. Those create Results because you set better Goals which then all contribute to what we call, your Culture.

It is not about changing your choices or making better decisions. It's about changing your Thinking. This is where the REWIRED book is trying to help. You will learn how to Think differently and then say to yourself:

"Oh... huh... Well, Kris when you say it like that... huh. That makes complete sense"

Thinking REWIRED means your decisions and choices will change. Your actions become positive because if you didn't know, no action, as in doing nothing, is still an action. This gives you results and a life you can respect and love. Thus building a culture that you created and live in and are proud of.

I Can't Believe I Ate the Whole Thing!

Hey Guys,

Something from a conversation this morning with one of my most favorite clients got me thinking and really motivated me to write this and reach out to you. We were talking about a person we know that is struggling with weight loss. This person understands nutrition (so they say, right?), knows how important exercise and physical health is, yet struggles with a current weight issue. This person wants to drop extra pounds that were put on. You will find in our REWIRED book that we help you to take your mind away from the weight and look deeper to find the source. Regardless of knowledge or experience. Who you work with. We want to dig deeper and create change. This person is the significant other to a trainer, so they have amazing help right there with them at all times. What I want you all to realize is, this is not easy, we are not all wired in a way that makes health the same. It doesn't matter how put together you appear to the audience, because we all have our struggles and battles.

So, I opened up and gave out a few of my weaknesses and areas that really challenge me. Those areas are:

-Motivation. I can get myself there, I can do the work. But without an accountability partner we all know how easy it is to skip that last set or alter our program to make it easier. Following that path of least resistance.

-Nutrition. Not how to eat per say, but I have that list of favorites that really make my mouth water and hand quiver! We all have them. For me: Jameson whiskey, a FLAMING hot donut, ice cream, and sadly even an ice cold Pepsi.

Now, its not hard for me to open up about these because I have worked to understand the effects they have on my system. The better I understand it, the easier it is to moderate them. I know to have a set written out plan for my workouts or have a workout buddy there. Usually it is my kick ass wife :) Thanks babe. As for the food, I have take the time to do these few mental checks first:

1. Think BEFORE You Eat: Too many times we inhale the grub THEN say "OMG I can't believe I ate the entire thing". Instead, STOP, consider your actions and possible alternatives. How do you feel, why do you feel it, how will you feel after.

2. Think WHILE You Eat: Savor the moment, whether you gave in to temptation or not. Are you happy with your decision? Is it as enjoyable as you thought? Could you have made a different decision?

3. Think AFTER You Eat: As with any good plan of action, reassess. After you finish what are you thoughts? Are you thinking, "Oh no..." or "Buhhhhhhh" or  are you really happy about the choice you made?

You see, what we need to do is untangle the system. Currently our brains are trying to decide how to satisfy that moment of time. Your brains path of least resistance is to go for what it knows. Whatever you have trained it to do in that moment previously. We need to retrain those knee jerk reactions and cravings. To give you back the control you deserve to have over your actions.

Autopilot is nice, but not when it creates sabotage in our lives. Take the wheel and control your life.
