Give Time Time

We live in a time where everything is immediate. While that’s awesome most of the time (you can buy just about anything and either pick it up that day, have it delivered that day, or have it delivered the next day), with fitness and nutrition goals, that mentality is maddening, and can be a bit mentally draining.

It’s extremely important to set proper expectations. If you’re working on yourself and trying to lose (or gain) weight. IT’S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN OVERNIGHT. If you’re trying to lose weight, it takes time. A sustainable weight loss is usually 1-2 pounds per week. If you’re trying to lose 30 pounds, at that pace, that’s 15 weeks. That’s 3+ months. To think of this another way, you didn’t gain that 30 pounds overnight.

It’s not going to come off that way, either. Gaining muscle is extremely difficult and takes time as well. The person you see in the gym or on Instagram that’s extremely fit didn’t get that way overnight.
If you’re working on yourself, and you show up for yourself most of the time, down the road – whether it’s weeks or months – “in-the-past” you will be proud of “where-you-are-now” you currently sits. Please don’t deny “in-the-past” you that opportunity! Keep showing up for yourself. Give time time!

I watched my parents try just about every diet there was. They’d lose weight and then gain it back, maybe even gain back more. I figured that was in the cards for me as well. Even though I was working out really consistently (and have always been active), once I hit my late thirties and early forties, the pounds started packing on. Cue my time with Jason. I learned so much from him and about how food actually works for and against us. I’ve developed a passion for everything nutrition-related which drove me to complete my nutrition coaching certification so I can share my knowledge and experience with others and help them have these breakthroughs of their own. The beauty of this program is the sustainability of it. I love sweets, pizza, burgers, etc. Learning how to eat this way lets me have those things. Since I’ve started living the macro life, I’ve NEVER once felt deprived of anything. What I’ve learned and put in place can keep me like this forever. A lot of people lose weight but never learn what to do afterwards. I want to help people see through all of that. Food and everything around it can seem overwhelming, but it really doesn’t need to be. I’m a husband, dad (human and canine), fun-loving, glass-half-full-kind-of-guy. I love movies, sports, being outside, good TV shows, and just being present with family and friends. I’m so very thankful for my opportunity to help people as a Nutrition Coach with Falcon Nutrition. I always say to leave the world better than you found it -this is another way for me to do that!
