mibo musingsEp. 19 - Male perspective on the emotional side of weight lossI was really blown away by Drew Manning’s message and his way of expressing it. September is a time where many clients are doing a reset post summer and it’s a fresh start for many. Having a solid foundation for long term success is the key. The foundation includes your mind and your food. Having a plan and tools for improving your mindset is so important. If you have found maintenance a challenge then it’s truly time to look beyond phase 1 and explore other tools.

Carving out time to meal plan, exercise and keep his mind and thoughts focused on his goal. He knew the old habits are there and that it was key that he stay active to keep that alive and energized feeling. “Just go for a walk, go around the block, don’t give in. You will feel better soon if you get outside.”.

mibo musingsA Chat with Coach Sherri Kiley from Chicago Episode 14Sherri has some great things to say.
