And yes girl I mean selfish because if you don’t

And yes girl I mean selfish because if you don’t stand up for yourself in there and own that space, it will feel really scary and daunting.

Let’s just think back to when you walked into the gym for the first time…

Or honestly maybe you still feel this to some degree right now.

The feelings of
- I shouldn’t take up the squat rack because I don’t know to use it
- My form is bad, I feel awkward standing here
- That girl is so much more fit than me, I should let her use the cable machine before me.

You spend more time looking around hoping no one will judge you or LOOK AT YOU than actually focusing on the workout itself.

And all of that bleeds into not feeling like the gym is not a space for you.

SO that’s why I saw maturing in the gym is being selfish.

It’s standing your ground when a guy comes up and asks you how many sets you have left and saying “I just got here” instead of “oh yeah I’m done, you can use it”

It’s remembering that someone being “more fit” or “having been here longer” is no excuse for them to be more worthy when WE ALL PAY THE SAME MEMBERSHIP.

It’s staring right back at someone if they’re making you feel uncomfortable.

It’s about snagging the open machine rather than looking around to see if anyone else needs to use it first.

But at the end of the day, it takes time girl.

Feeling out of place is a feeling WE ALL GO THROUGH.

Going to the gym for a few weeks and giving up saying it’s not your scene is not really giving it a chance.

It’s giving up on yourself and letting others win.

I’ll say it does take up to months to get used to a new environment.

So stay patient! Stay selfish!!

Just know if you’re struggling to get to the gym

Just know if you’re struggling to get to the gym this time of year because it’s so cold and so dark you’re not alone.

BUT!! That’s not an excuse to not get to the gym!

That’s a quarter (or more) of the year you’re missing out on making progress and we won’t let that slide.

SO the best solution I have is to romanticize the winter months and find fun and creative ways to keep our head in the game.

Does this mean we need to adjust our goals and expectations? YES.
Does this mean we need to focus on progress over perfection? YES.
Does this mean we need to find alternatives ways to stay active? YES.

But it doesn’t mean we can just put our goals on pause and wait until summer comes around.

I’ve put together a few tips that has helped me and my clients this time of year.

But the best thing I can say is start by romanticize the winter *more festive* time of year.

Start noticing the small things that make this time of year THE BEST TIME.

Let me know which tip you try out or find most helpful!

Travel should be about having fun, enjoying yourse

Travel should be about having fun, enjoying yourself and not worrying about if eating that bubble tea or hot pot (can you tell I came back from China) will cause you to gain weight.

That being said, travelling is also not about eating the first thing you see as well.

A big part of travelling stress fee is having a plan.

Not just an itinerary of where you’re going everyday but also setting expectations, guidelines and boundaries around your health & nutrition.

Don’t get this mixed up with being restrictive either.

Having structure actually allows for more spontaneity.

Here’s our client T who recently when to Japan with her family and was able to lose weight eating more food 😮‍💨👀

& that’s a wrap!

I had the best time exploring Jason’s home city, Shanghai and travelling our way through Hong Kong !

It was my first time in both cities and wow it exceeded my expectations. So grateful to have been able to explore and experience such a different culture & lifestyle 🥰💙

Takeaways from this trip:
🌱 Shanghai reminded me a lot of Korea
🌱 Working in China was impossible even with vpn
🌱 Food is so cheap in Shanghai or Vancouver is fking expensive for no reason
🌱 You can get anything delivered in China and the food comes warm!!!!
🌱 Hong Kong didn’t speak as much English than I thought 😅
🌱 Good luck travelling China if you don’t speak Chinese

TIL next time ! 🫡
