You Belong At The Holiday Survival Seminar

Halloween just passed, Thanksgiving is around the corner, and then Christmas with all its festivities begins. It doesn't end there because New Years tops it all off like the cherry on top of a sundae. We don't have to give up all hopes of any semblance of nutrition for the next 8 weeks. I for one do not want to give in to the average weight gain of 4-8 pounds in those 8 weeks. It just fuels the same New Year's Resolution of losing weight most of us make come January.

The "Holiday Survival Seminar" will get you started in the right direction. At this seminar you will be given a Jumpstart manual full of information on what to eat, how much to eat, meal planning, grocery shopping, measuring yourself and your food, and much much more.

In addition to the our Jumpstart Manual, we'll fill you in on steps you can take to better your health through nutrition. This is not a diet but nutrition at its finest. Eating our way through the holiday season successfully. If you want to Stop dieting and Enjoy eating, we'll talk about how working with a coach might be just what you need. I've helped many get off the cycle of dieting and start enjoying food while still reaching their health goals.  

The Grateful Plate website is booming. This is my family's favorite way to make deviled eggs. I think its because they taste great, but my girls are also very good at making them look so cute.

What’s in Your Nutrition?

Get Fit NH has teamed up with Whole9, specialists in the field of nutrition and a respected authority in the health and fitness community, to provide our clients with a comprehensive nutritional program designed to make you the healthiest you’ve ever been. Why are we focusing so much on what you eat? Because we believe nutrition is the foundation of any good fitness program, and the gateway to optimal health. And we think your nutritional habits play such an important role in achieving your health and performance goals that we’ve asked Whole9 to design this nutrition program for our clients.

Eat Real Food.

Our belief is that a good nutritional program should be centered around eating real food. We know that fad diets, crash diets, miracle pills and “meal replacements” are not part of a balanced, sustainable path towards improved health and fitness. Instead, we encourage you to eat high quality meat, seafood and eggs, plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, and healthy sources of dietary fats – it’s that simple. Just eat good food, put your meals together in a way that is simple, balanced and (most importantly) sustainable, and experience all of the tangible benefits that come from a nutritional plan designed to help you create a healthy metabolism, heal your digestive tract, calm systemic inflammation and put an end to unhealthy cravings, habits, and relationships with food.

The Whole9 Nutrition Program

We believe implementing good nutritional habits from the very start is so important that we provide all of our clients with a comprehensive printed handbook designed to walk you through Whole9’s nutrition program. Your handbook includes all the tools you’ll need to succeed, including:

• Our nutritional “elevator pitch” – Nutrition in 60 Seconds
• A list of food groups that detract from your health and fitness, and those groups that make you healthier
• A detailed Shopping Guide, including helpful hints for making high quality food choices
• The Whole9 meal planning template, outlining portion sizes, meal frequency and pre- and post-workout nutrition
• Delicious, Whole30-approved recipes that follow our meal planning template, and a 7-day meal plan
• A multi-category FAQ to help you hit the ground running
• A number of helpful resources – additional recipe sites, references, books and movies
• The Whole30, Whole9’s original program designed to “change your life in 30 days”
• The Whole30 FAQ, to help guide you through your 30 day program

Help Mary’s Rock N Race Match!

Recently we were approached with an incredibly generous offer. It is too generousnot to share and ask for help!

….But first let me explain…

As I am sure many of you know every May Get Fit NH participates in the Rock’n Road Race. This race is sponsored by Merrimack County Savings Bank and all proceeds go to the Payson Center for Cancer Care. We make it a goal every year to raise $3500 for this cause. We have until September to meet our goal. We are about half way to our goal ($1707) and would love to check that off our list.

One of 8:30 Ladies in Concord, Mary Davidson, came to us with an unbelievably generous offer. Mary offered to match up to half of what we need to reach the $3000.00 level – is that awesome or what?

Here’s the deal. We have $1293 to raise in total, which leaves our share at $647. For every dollar we raise up to that, Mary will match it – I know we can do this!

We are always humbled by the generosity of our Get Fit NH family. Every time we run a Fundraiser Training you guys blow us away. We are so proud to claim you all as our family. Please help us reach our goal by following the link below that will bring yu right to the Rock N’ Race donation page – Thanks!

We sincerely appreciate you supporting this cause and we cannot thank Mary enough for her kind heart.

Got Grit?

Have you ever considered seriously what it takes to be successful?

Angela Lee Duckworth is a psychologist that studied different people in various settings to see what made them successful. On one of her studies she went to West Point to try to predict which cadets would make it through the program and which would drop out. She found that those who succeeded had the most grit. Duckworth defines grit as “passion and perseverance for long term goals”. Grit is not giving up when faced with challenges. It is working on your goal every day.

How do you build grit? Here are a few characteristics of people with grit:

Courage: You must have courage to set goals and not be afraid to fail. Some of us are perfectionist (myself included) and we never take that step outside of our comfort zone because we are scared of failing. Don’t let fear paralyze you because you may miss out on something great!

Goal Oriented: The most gritty and successful people set goals and then work relentlessly to achieve them. If you don’t set goals then how do you know where you are going? After you have your goal you must have an action plan to get there. Then you work on it daily!

Endurance: Life is a marathon not a sprint. Malcom Gladwell states in his book Outliers that it takes 10,000 hours to achieve mastery in a field. To achieve success we must be willing to put in the time necessary. There are no short cuts or quick fixes!

Resilience: Success is not linear. There are going to be bumps in the road. People who have grit and are successful are also resilient. They use every opportunity as a chance for growth and have confidence to move forward.

Excellence: Not perfection! We must strive for excellence in everything we do. When we seek perfection we often get discouraged because we don’t achieve it. Perfection is not realistic. Excellence is an attitude that is positive and motivating.

Let’s work together to build these characteristics and some Grit!

Take Action Today

Last week we talked about commitment.

Remember I asked you to commit to just one thing and send it to me? Well, some of you did and I thought that was great. I am so proud of you guys for your willingness to be held accountable. That is important. I would expect you all to ask me which recipes I made from the Whole 9 Handbook since that is what I committed to – I can take it! 🙂

This week I want to talk about taking action.

It is easy to set goals, right? Anyone can say, “My goal is to lose to test out of my red band” “My goal is to lose 10 lbs for my vacation in two months” or “My goal is to be able to do unassisted chin ups.” That is the easy part! The hard part is maintaining discipline and taking action steps to meet those goals! If you want something to change you must change something you’re doing (that part can sting a little sometimes, I know!) The good news is you’ve hired professional coaches to help you define those action steps in a way that works FOR YOU!

I am going to show you a DON’T version of taking action and a DO version of taking action….

DON’T

Outcome Goal: I want to lose 10 pounds before I go on vacation in December

4 week goal- I want to lose 5 pounds in 4 weeks

Action Steps

1.) Stick to Whole 9 nutrition plan

2.) Train 4x per week

3.) Take Fish Oil supplement

4.) Get 8 hours of sleep

5.) Keep a food log

Do you see where I am going with this??

In this case- less is more! Remember this is a life style change. This stuff is not going to happen overnight. It takes work and it takes dedication. You deserve to meet your goals.

Here is what a DO situation looks like

Outcome Goal: I want to lose 10 pounds before I go on vacation in December

4 week goal- I want to lose 5 pounds in 4 weeks

Action Steps

1.) Train 4X per week consistently for 4 weeks

2.) Attend a Whole 9 seminar

Boom- That’s it!

In 4 weeks we talk again and if and when you successfully completed the action steps then we move on. We progress. We keep the first step and add another one.

I don’t want you to think about the 100 different ways you COULD BE taking action. I want you to focus on ONE thing you can and will do over the next 4 weeks. Heck, I want to  know what you are going to do today to get you closer to your goal tomorrow!

Commit to take action- Go make it happen!

-Coach Meagan
