Some days are just like this!!!!

Kathleen Trotter@FITbyKathleenT·

The “productive pause” is critical for health and life success!! Pausing allows you to put space between “stimulus” and “response”!! Pausing ensures you don’t let your momentary desires derail you from your long-term goals!! #worthalisten #toolstoreachyourgoals

All choices come with a cost. That is not a negative. That is just the truth. There are only 24 hours in a day. You can't be everywhere and experience everything. You must decide what you are willingIf you chose to watch Tv until 2am you can't also be sleeping. If you decide to go to your kid's soccer game, you can't also be going for a run. I am not saying any one choice is "bad" or "good". Context is key. What I am saying is, you must decide what is important to you. You must decide which choices will bring you closer to your goals. If you are not willing to pay the cost you must reevaluate your goals. Only you can judge what is worth it and what is not. Choose the "cost" that you are willing to live with. Align your choices to your values and your goals. Costs include food prep, forsaking alcohol, going to bed early to wake up for an early workout, etc. For some people these costs are worth it. For others, not so much! I have had many people state a goal, then when we go over the steps needed to reach that goal, their answer is “that is not worth it.” The question is, what are you willing to give up?My point is NOT that you “should” be meal prepping or giving up alcohol. “Giving something up” is not synonymous with “a good choice.” My point is—yet again—be an informed consumer. Know what you want, acknowledge what you are willing to do for that goal, AND realize that anything healthy done to an extreme is no longer healthy. The impacts of long-term restrictions are REAL!!For more on the costs of our choices you can check out my blog "Carbs Might ACTUALLY be Your Missing Health Link" which you can give a read at the link in my bio!!linkinprofile www.kathleentrotter.com/2022/04/07/carbs-might-actually-be-your-missing-health-link/ #fitness #workout #nutrition #health #eatright #carbs #dietculture #fitspo #Findingyourfit ...

Why are so susceptible to the "snowball effect"? We miss one workout and decide to skip the rest for the week.That all or nothing mindset.Have you ever fallen into this trap? We've all been there! In my latest chat with @tessamarietovar we chatted about when healthy habits become unhealthy, and this is just one of them!!Check out the rest of the episode at the link in my bio for more on the snowball effect and many other health and fitness habits!!linkinprofile podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/outside-the-studio/id1483077110?i=1000559976747 #fitness #findingyourfit #yourfittestfutureself #podcastlife #podcastalert #podcast #podcastrecommendation #fitnesspodcast #healthpodcast #outsidethestudio ...

Today I am going to take you through a fantastic mobility series- YTIs and YWs—four amazing mobility moves for your upper back and shoulders.Lie on the foam roller. Make sure your head and your butt are on the roller.Make sure you are neutral:* No arching through your lower back.* No bum engagement.* Spine engaged.Watch with all the moves you are that you are not losing your form. Follow the moves to complete the letters T, I and Y and then Y and W through arm movements.Breath in. Raise your arms to the centre then let lower to the outside to form a T. The Y is above your head in a Y shape and the I is your arms are in a straight line above your head. Once you do the YTI you move on the the Y Ws. Do 10 of each or alternate through each of them. Lots of options. KEEP YOUR SPINE ENGAGED!And ENJOY!!#fitness #workout #foamrollerworkout #foamrollerexercise #foamroller #findingyourfit #yourfittestfutureself ... See MoreSee Less

Had an amazing chat (as always) with @tessamarietovar talking all about "when do healthy habits become unhealthy".This was such a unique and important conversation, we ended up chatting about a ton of topics. If you want more of a teaser, here are the main 5 takeaways to wet your appetitie...5 Key Takeaways1. The reason generic diets don’t work long-term is that they don’t help you connect with your body. Unless you can understand the cues your body sends and the deeper thoughts and emotions around what you think of food, you will always go back to your unconscious beliefs and habits.2. Rigid choices masked as healthy choices are sometimes a survival mechanism. For example, you may feel you have to be extremely strict with your diet - or else people will stop liking you. In the beginning, these rigid choices help you stay happy and alive. However, once you’re in a slightly better place you must reevaluate your choices and ask yourself: how can I make decisions that really serve me instead of serving my fear?3. Disordered eating is not limited to anorexia or bulimia. There are various types of disordered eating that are not popularly known. One example is orthorexia. Orthorexia is being a perfectionist about your healthy ways to the point where healthy habits turn unhealthy.4. 6 types of self-sabotage: (1) perfectionism, (2) snowball effect, (3) I deserve, (4) crying wolf, (5) too busy effect, and (6) trying to be something you’re not.5. You can’t try your best at everything.

Are you unintentional about your health? I know it seems counterintuitive, but the key to healthy living is moving past intention into habits and systems!! Become unintentional AF!!I talked all about "unintentionality" in my latest blog post at the link in my bio, check it out!linkinprofile www.kathleentrotter.com/2022/05/02/flip-the-script-aim-to-be-less-conscious-about-your-health/ #yourfittestfutureself #nutrition #Findingyourfit #Fitness #healthylife ...
