  • Skinny is a scam.

    Skinny is a scam.

    Hi. Welcome to my TED Talk.

    I have ranted about this a million times to friends, family, on my story and in classes. It’s time to bring the conversation here.

    SKINNY is a scam.

    But Katie how? It’s a body type.

    Lady Gaga once said ‘Baby you were born this way’. If Jesus made you a luscious lean cuisine rock that bod momma.

    She DIDN’T say ‘Baby you were marketed this way to make you feel like there is one type of beautiful”

    Selling Skinny is a scam, not actually being skinny. I mean have you seen my mom? She is the definition of skinny and totally healthy. Make sense?

    Skinny is being marketed as healthy by the companies that have minions slide in your DMs a message that (always) starts “HEY GIRL! You are sitting on a GOLD MINE. You should totalllyyy join my team and push chemical filled products on all your friends and family until everyone hates you”

    Okay that was a little harsh.

    My opinion STANDS.

    When people sell skinny, they are selling a quick fix. An ideal. A short term solution. Okay so you lost 20lbs in a month as promised.

    Now what?

    What did you learn? What underlying habits or noise did you work out. Or were you given products and promised results? If you stop taking their products what happens? Did they teach you a maintainable lifestyle or did you become a lifelong consumer?

    If you have a coach, what is their education? What are their certifications? What did they TEACH you. How did they problem solve with you? Did they give you cookie cutter advice or really learn about YOU and your body // needs? Did they guide you to make smarter choices, maintain balance and goal set.

    I truly believe you don’t need a coach for more than 3-6 months MAX. I believe, as a coach myself, my job is to teach, encourage and support. I don’t want lifelong clients. I want to guide as many people as possible to their healthiest they can be.

    Selling products disguised as a lifestyle isn’t the way to do it. Humans need nutrients not supplements. They need meals not shakes. They need education not lies.

    Slow, maintainable progress is always my goal. What you do to lose weight you need to do to maintain it.

    THAT’S RIGHT.

    What you do to LOSE weight is what you have to do to MAINTAIN it.

    So, if it isn’t sustainable you are wasting your time. Can you really live on TWO protein shakes and one meal a day?!? (HINT: heck no)

    Okay. Im done. I feel better. Do you?

    Please please please make sure you are treating your body with the all the lovin’ she deserves. I mean she is your ONLY real home. Treat her like the flawless queen she is.

    LOVE YOU

  • Getting Leaner without Losing Strength

    GIRL if you have been following me you K N O W I love to train. My workouts have been HOT fire lately and Im noticing major changes in my bod because of it. I have D Y I N G to share it with you. Mostly because I have been cutting (aka losing weight) and getting stronger which is counterintuitive. Typically, when you lose body mass, you lose strength…which is exactly what I didn’t want. I have // had (I crushed several already) B I G fitness goals before turing 25 and I couldn’t lose strength while trying to achieve them.

    Okay, let’s talk lifting. I have been doing an 2 upper // 2 lower days split. The reason being it gives me more freedom and control. I’m not married to chest and triceps on Monday…I can do them whenever my heart desires. So if it’s Meathead Monday and I can’t get a bench, I can still sweat it out with lat pulls and pull ups. BUT here is the real secret… I lift with intensity. Like I need that minute of rest in between sets to let my heart rate fall. My goal is to always be the hardest working one in the gym (not the strongest or fittest). I push my weight… as much as I can safely move…with energy and explosiveness.

    F45… Im just going to apologize for how obnoxious I have been with my obsession with F45 but if you tried it, you wouldn’t blame me. It is humbling is the best way. If Orange Theory and Crossfit had a weekend fling in Vegas and had a fitness baby, it would be F45. The classes focus on functional movement while increasing your heart rate. Monday, Wednesday and Friday are cardio based….. and W O W. Tuesday and Thursday are more resistance based. My brother threw up three times the first time he went. Boyfriend, had to lay on the floor for a solid 3 minutes after. It is HARD CORE. In the best way. And you get a WEEK for free. I mean how amazing. My favorite days are the cardio days because I SUCK at them. They leave me drained, and sometimes frustrated but I know thats were I will make the most progress.

    Playing Outside… you probably know Im a nanny and I spend a good portion of my day playing. Here is the deal, playing is amazing. Hill sprints, tag, monkey bars, hikes, obstacle courses you name it, we play it. Lately, we have been obsessed with my agility ladder. HELLO footwork, and sprints WHILE working. Also, watching the kids fall head over heels with fitness makes my heart sing. The little girl told me last week, “Katie, I can’t believe it!!! Im getting strong just like you!!”

    All of these things contribute to my progress and weight loss, but none reduce my strength because they ADD to it. Even the cardio classes at F45…I mean it’s hard to lose strength when your cardio is a burpee with a box jump or a clean right???

    I hope you have the BEST day!!! The countdown to TWENTY FIVE has begun. We have less than T W O weeks people
