The Power of THE TEAM!!

One of the truly special aspects of the RCI "Biggest/Healthiest Loser" approach with ProMotion Fitness, is the power of coaching from the collection of resources assembled to assist each of us on our own individual 12-week journey to fitness and wellness.

The following excerpt is from Coach Chris, and is worthy of sharing with the entire sangha.


I've received news, updates, and questions from several of you and I am very excited by the progress I am seeing and hearing.  Congratulations to those who are already putting dents in their weight loss goals and to each of you who are embracing the lifestyle changes and feeling more empowered.  While the road is long, and difficult moments will arise, just remember it's about the here and now.  Plan for the future, yet focus on the day in front of you, the workout in front of you, the meal in front of you, the choice in front of you and the weight loss will take care of itself.  As I like to tell my students and clients, "no drama" - it's way too easy to feel overwhelmed when we look at the long view, it's easy to feel let down or disappointed when we stumble and it's easy to get stressed out over a weigh in.  All I can say to that is, don't.  Drama is that negative self talk that we've all had before and it's what eventually leads us to throwing in the towel (another easy thing to do).  Drama is what makes us feel frustrated, angry, stressed out, or just plain old hopeless.  When these moments arise, just recognize them and test them to see if we are adding drama where we don't need to and consider how can we respond in a more appropriate manner.

Yours in Health,
