Exciting announcement time!

We just opened enrollment for the Weighless program and will be starting with a new group on January 6, 2023. And I have to say that Monica and I are pumped to be getting to know the people that we will spend the next year with, solving the puzzle of how to be someone who weighs less (without any of the usual shenanigans that come along with a traditional diet). 

You’re a smart, competent adult. You’ve been successful in lots of other things. Now it’s time for you to be successful at becoming someone who weighs less.

Podcasts:

Second Wind Fitness – The Magic of Rolling & Breathing with Jill Miller (TuneUpFitness)
In this episode, we talk about Jill’s next book, Body by Breath: The Science and Practice of Physical and Emotional Resilience but we also discuss the efficacy of self-massage, self-myofascial release, and whether you should be using hard or soft foam rollers and other tools.

Change Academy – Why We Sabotage Our Own Success
Sometimes, fears about what transformation might cost us can lead us to sabotage our own success. In this episode, we get all of that out in the open, so we can engage with it more intentionally… and more productively.

Change Academy – Acquiring a New Skill Will Require *This*
For some endeavours, all you need to succeed is knowledge and a good reason to follow through. Acquiring a skill, however, requires knowledge plus practice. If you expect to succeed at a skill without allowing yourself time to practice, you’re likely to be frustrated.

Brock Armstrong Coaching – Your Past is not Your Future
The other day a member of our Weighless program reached out with an anxiety issue. They were convinced that despite all the progress they had made with their eating and exercising habits, they would eventually falter and it would all end up being for naught.

Hard or Soft Massage tools?

Here is a short clip from my recent Second Wind Fitness podcast episode with Jill Miller. If you are like me, you may think that self-massage needs to be painful to work (no pain, no gain?) but in this clip, Jill sets me straight. Apparently, it doesn’t have to hurt to be effective!

Before I dive into the podcast episodes, articles and videos… what do you think would happen if you could confidently invest your energy in the things that make the biggest difference? Just imagine seeing your efforts translate into actual progress. 

Well, that’s exactly what the assessment that Monica Reinagel and I put together at Weighless.Life/Quiz will help you do.

And don’t worry, this isn’t some Buzz Feed type of shenanigans. This is a scientifically-validated assessment that will score your current abilities and tendencies in six different categories associated with successful weight management.  And it’ll only take about 3 minutes to complete. Check it out! We’re pretty proud of it.

I am in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan right now for a family event so I will keep this brief and to the point. As the days get shorter and the weather gets colder, let me remind you that it is never too cold to get outside and move your body. Dress appropriately (layers and bright colours) and if you do get cold, just move more! Problem solved 🙂
