Its Almost Here: Meal Management to the Rescue

There's no doubt that prepping and planning your meals is not only crucial to achieving your best body, but also extremely challenging! Today's hectic lifestyles make "grab and go" a lot more likely than "sit and relax".

Who's got the time to plan out meals?

In this seminar Coach Nancy (who is a mom of six, homeschools her kids and is a full-time fitness professional) will guide you every step of the way.

Have you ever stood in front of the fridge 20 minutes before dinner is supposed to be on the table and wonder what you will serve? 

Do you need just a few tips to help you plan meals easier?

Nancy says "Achieving your best body AND eating great food can coexist. The key lies in your ability to PRE-PLAN and PREPARE. You must reorganize the way you eat.  At “Meal Management To the Rescue” you’ll learn how to easily pull mealtime together for your family. You’ll walk away with a week’s worth of dinner meal plans plus the ability to expand that to a whole month, a cheat sheet for meal preparation, and 14 ways to make breakfast easy."

How Can You be Prepared to Eat Right?

Out of all the things you want to change or do, what’s most important to you right now?
 
I'll be patient as you answer that one. Don't give a flip answer. Let is sit in your brain for a minute or two. What do you REALLY want right NOW? 


In order to say “yes” to healthy choices, what are you prepared to say “no” to?

Each and every time we chose to do something we are saying no to something else. Let me explain, If I say, "Yes, I am going to eat veggies with every meal." Then I am saying no to having only a muffin for breakfast. Since you already know what is REALLY important to you, what are you going to do today to help that along? * Tip: Be able to track your action. Make it real to count or measure. Saying you will eat healthy has so many variation and can depend on our mood or feelings. But saying you will take your multivitamin every day is something you can count how many days you did that in a row. Its easy to track your progress. Say yes to something you can check off in a box.

Keepin’ it real: What are you NOT prepared to give up or lose right now? 


There are somethings in my eating plan that I am just not ready to stop doing or giving up quite yet. I might not ever be. Stay within your limits while still extending extra effort to get towards your goals.
*Tip If you are thinking you should give up something but every time you think about doing it, you freeze or get that know in your stomach- it might not be the right time to do that yet. If you are unable to take a step back from your action you might not be ready for it yet. For example, my knuckles turn white as I clinch my fist when I think of giving up coffee cold turkey. But I know I could back just one cup out of my day right now. 

Prepare yourself with a plan first of all. Then have an action you know you can take today. Knowing you have given yourself boundaries to protect your progress.

To Your Best Health,
Coach Nancy

Inefficient Exercises, Why It’s So Important!

This has to do with what it means when you may hear the term “inefficient exercise”.  Simply put this means making the exercise as challenging as possible, within your own personal abilities.  For example, a squat thrust where the person keeps perfect squat form until they get low enough for their hands to touch the floor, then kicking back to a full pushup hold, is much more “inefficient” than just bending over and kicking your feet halfway back.  Another way to think about it is, the more perfect the form, and the more deliberate the movement, the less inefficient it will be.

Why is being inefficient important?  Here is an easy reason to grasp, if a machine is inefficient what does it use more of?  Fuel, what is fuel? Calories, if you want to burn more calories/fat/get a better training effect when you train, the more inefficient the better.  Muscles being used burns calories, so its an easy subject to grasp that the more muscles we affect during an exercise, the more fuel we need→the more calories we burn.  

However your body is very different from a machine, for one very huge reason, your body adapts.  Have you ever wondered why we you are introduced to a new exercise you wake up the next morning with soreness in a bunch of places you wouldn’t have expected?  Or you are just sorer than you would have expected in general?  Its because whenever your body is introduced to something its not used to it doesn’t know which muscles to fully use and which ones can be put on standby.  As you do that movement more however your body learns to be as “efficient” as possible, which is why we (coaches and clients) then respond by adding resistance.  Adding more resistance makes a movement more inefficient.  Your body wants to be efficient, it wants to use as little energy as possible to accomplish its goal.  That however does you a disservice.  Other than injury prevention, that is why good form and focus are so important.  The more inefficient, the better.  Keep that in mind.

Your January Jumpstart Challenge: GETTING ON TRACK

Starting on January 22, the Get Fit NH family together starts to bolster your own nutrition while encouraging others to do the same.  The Challenge can be summed in in the three statements below.

1. MAKE IT EASY ON YOURSELF
Forget diet plans. counting calories, and pills and potions. Simplification is the key to getting focused - the less we have to think about it, the better. You'll learn how to setup your kitchen for success, shop only for the foods you need, and a step-by-step plan for getting the results that will keep you motivated.

2. LEARN TO LISTEN TO YOUR BODY
Sometimes you don't know how bad you feel until you feel better. There are 3 common food categories that affect us more than we realize, and you'll discover which ones might be making you feel less than your best.

3. GET THE ACCOUNTABILITY AND SUPPORT YOU NEED
Expert Coaching, Daily Check-Ins, and our Online "Inspire" group is where the magic really happens. When you get stuck, we got your back.
 

Just in case you missed all the information we've sent your way, check oall the details for your 21+ Day Jumpstart Nutrition Challenge here.

I'll see you on January 13th for your Jumpstart Goal setting Workshop- plus all the ins and outs of this challenge.

Try to Catch Stacy in the Spotlight

Tutu Tuesday started years ago at 6:15 in Epsom. Santa visiting every year is now a tradition. These are just two of the inspirations Stacy has given back to Get Fit NH. 

But Stacy is following in the footsteps of others when it comes to her attendance at training. You see Stacy didn't miss one training time all year. She made it happen. There were days she had to get up earlier in order to train. She had to rearrange her schedule other days so it would fit in. It was that important to her that she Made It Happen- no matter what. 

In 2017 Stacy didn't miss one training. She is following in the footsteps of others in her training time. They've made it such a way of life that if they aren't there, it is STRANGE. 

Here is my challenge to you; who is going to follow in Stacy's footsteps? Who is going to be known for consistency and determination? Who will have perfect attendance in 2018?

Are you Ready? Are you Set? Let’s Go!

This is your chance to make the final preparations. 

On January 13th at 9am in Concord, your team of coaches is going to get you ready for change. The January Jumpstart Nutrition workshop will be an hour of getting you ready, helping you be set and then letting you go!

We'll take the 21+ Day Jumpstart Nutrition Challenge guide and break it down so you have your goals laid out before the challenge begins. We want to make this challenge easier for you. We'll teach you how to listen to the signals your body has been telling you for years. Plus I want to show you how to access the accountability and support you need. 

                                            Be ready mentally

Get set physically

                                                          All so you can go!

What if you're not sure you're going to do the 21+ Day Jumpstart Nutrition Challenge? Come on in. We'll be focusing on setting the goals you need to be the best you. If you're undecided now, check out the information because there is a bonus for signing up early. Shhhhh...... its the nutrition guide printed out for you. 

You don't have to be doing the 21+ Jumpstart Nutrition Challenge to benefit from this workshop. We'll set some well defined personal goals and then make those goals ones that inspire you to succeed.

Let me help you be Ready, Be Set, and then you can, Go!

Over dinner we will have a special "ask the coach" Q&A, where you can grill Dean and Nancy for all their fitness and nutrition secrets. 🙂 What a great way to set yourself up for success in the New Year!

I'll see all the winners there, but if you know one of the winners you also might enjoy the meal as their Plus One - just saying.

Keep Making It Happen!

Hard Times Lead To Growth

It is hard to think about in the moment, it really is, and I understand that more than most.  When things happen and times get hard how can you look around and say “well this stinks but at least I learned something as a result!”.  You wont see it until the dust settles, until things clear.

I have realized this more and more recently.  Many of you know at this point I injured my back months ago, and I am still having trouble and working on recovering from that injury.  It has been a long, extremely frustrating several months.

However the one solace I take in it is this, in my attempt to figure out what is going on with my own body, my coaching has taken a massive step forward.  The amount of new techniques I have learned to help myself, which I am then taking and applying to others with issues that there seem to be no answer for.  It has flipped the way I often look at things on its head and as a result I am finding that I am able to help more of you more effectively.  

I know it is hard to see in the moment, but when things get tough, that’s when you need to look to learn as much as you can.  Its unbelievable the amount of help it will give you or those you care for later on.  Just remember that!
