Last month, I attended the Wedding MBA in Las Vegas. It was very informative, had over 2400 attendees from all over the US and other countries and I was a participant on one of the panels!
One of the things discussed was bring new ideas to our blogs. I have decided to have some guest bloggers to help you with various areas of your wedding planning.
As a bit of introduction for this first one, John, owner of Life Warrior, is a personal trainer. I met John and as of several months ago, he's also my trainer. I decided if I was going to recommend something to a client, I needed to try it first! I highly recommend John to anyone, male or female who is interested in getting fit and healthy!
Warrior Weight Loss
By John Austin- If you are tired of weight loss programs, dieting, and always having to begin something anew, here is a post that will give you the basics for the last “program” you will ever need. But rather than a program, I offer you a mindset and an inside out approach…I offer you a way of life vs. starting anew every Monday, every other month, or every New Year.
The weight loss industry is a multi-billion dollar industry in America. Everywhere you look, from your computer to the television to magazines at the local supermarket’s check-out isle, you are bombarded by “new” programs and images of what you are “supposed” to look like. A sexy, new you is the ongoing promise of a very profitable enterprise.
Here, I challenge you to question this very conventional approach to weight loss. Obviously something is not working since you are poorer than you were yesterday and no better off, while others are getting filthy rich.
I then challenge you to look deeply within yourself and ask a basic question, “Are you happy?” And by asking yourself this very simple question, I’m going to open the door to a new way of looking at your health and fitness.
When will you be happy?
When you lose 10 pounds? When you get rich? Or when you go on your next vacation?
Have you ever noticed that when you have achieved certain goals in the past, your mind immediately finds the next thing to focus on. Maybe you experience a brief moment or even a few days of satisfaction, but surely enough you inevitably start focusing on the next thing to give you your dreams.
Or how about when you go on vacation? Most often, while on vacation, you are so consumed by your plans, relationships, and various other types of drama, that you forget to enjoy the beautiful beach in front of you. Soon enough, the vacation is over and you are back to the daily grind of every day living.
So if you are tired of thinking that your life will be better tomorrow, I offer you a solution.
The solution is simple. Stop!
Stop stressing yourself out!
Relax and enjoy the moment, because chances are that you are missing it.
Live in the here and now. Go for a walk or a hike because it’s nice outside. Eat a healthy delicious meal because it’s what your body is really craving. Don’t stuff yourself because you never feel good after eating too much anyway. Take a yoga class because you want to treat yourself. Exercise hard because of how good it feels when your body is releasing endorphines, cleansing itself through sweat, and rejuvinating the heart and lungs.
Maybe you’re not completely there, but I can promise you that the only people who create a sustainable nutrition and weight loss “program” are those for whom it isn’t a program at all. It’s a way of life…and that my friends is warrior weight loss. Cheers and here’s to unlimited possibilities for you in this life. – John Austin, founder of Life Warrior Coaching, www.lifewarriorcoaching.com phone #303-562-8798
