1
00:00:09,550 --> 00:00:11,295
My name is Patrick Mcgill, and I'm an

2
00:00:11,295 --> 00:00:12,192
experienced marathon,

3
00:00:12,565 --> 00:00:16,175
Alt runner, sports nutrition, Matt Master life coach

4
00:00:16,309 --> 00:00:17,658
and weight boss coach for runners.

5
00:00:18,372 --> 00:00:20,753
I've dedicated my life to helping runners just

6
00:00:20,753 --> 00:00:23,551
like you, properly few your body and your

7
00:00:23,551 --> 00:00:26,741
mind so you can get leaner, get stronger,

8
00:00:27,220 --> 00:00:29,794
run faster and run longer than you ever

9
00:00:29,852 --> 00:00:30,910
thought possible.

10
00:00:32,006 --> 00:00:33,449
This is running lean.

11
00:00:36,461 --> 00:00:38,918
Hey there, and welcome to episode 02:36 of

12
00:00:38,918 --> 00:00:39,735
running lean

13
00:00:40,044 --> 00:00:41,877
My name is Patrick Mcgill, the weight loss

14
00:00:41,877 --> 00:00:44,508
coach for runners and today learning to love

15
00:00:44,508 --> 00:00:47,058
the process. So oftentimes we take on a

16
00:00:47,058 --> 00:00:49,789
big challenge like, changing how we eat or

17
00:00:49,789 --> 00:00:50,750
training for a marathon,

18
00:00:51,469 --> 00:00:53,469
and we don't get the results that we

19
00:00:53,469 --> 00:00:56,270
want fast enough. The weight isn't coming off

20
00:00:56,270 --> 00:00:58,201
as quickly as you want or that's training

21
00:00:58,201 --> 00:01:00,979
isn't getting any easier, running is still really

22
00:01:00,979 --> 00:01:01,217
hard.

23
00:01:02,011 --> 00:01:05,107
And when you're focused solely on the end

24
00:01:05,107 --> 00:01:07,111
result, and you're not there yet, you can

25
00:01:07,111 --> 00:01:08,805
begin to hate the process

26
00:01:09,181 --> 00:01:11,091
that it takes to actually get you there.

27
00:01:11,330 --> 00:01:12,842
And this is not a very useful way

28
00:01:12,842 --> 00:01:16,041
to approach anything worthwhile. So today, I'm talking

29
00:01:16,041 --> 00:01:18,589
about learning to love the process.

30
00:01:19,146 --> 00:01:22,251
And how this simple mindset shift will absolutely

31
00:01:22,251 --> 00:01:24,891
change how you approach, everything that you do,

32
00:01:25,209 --> 00:01:27,591
especially going after those big goals. But first,

33
00:01:28,067 --> 00:01:29,973
if you wanna get leaner or stronger, if

34
00:01:29,973 --> 00:01:31,402
you wanna run faster or longer,

35
00:01:31,974 --> 00:01:34,366
you need to change what you do. Doing

36
00:01:34,366 --> 00:01:36,997
the same things will not get you new

37
00:01:36,997 --> 00:01:37,236
results.

38
00:01:37,874 --> 00:01:40,107
Nothing changes if nothing changes. Right? Think we

39
00:01:40,107 --> 00:01:40,745
all get this part.

40
00:01:41,396 --> 00:01:44,044
The real secret is doing new things

41
00:01:44,657 --> 00:01:45,157
consistently.

42
00:01:45,850 --> 00:01:47,679
If you decide you wanna get stronger so

43
00:01:47,679 --> 00:01:49,111
you go to the gym once a month,

44
00:01:49,603 --> 00:01:51,746
that's just not gonna get you there. You

45
00:01:51,746 --> 00:01:53,674
need to adopt new behaviors

46
00:01:54,206 --> 00:01:56,667
and you need to start doing them consistently.

47
00:01:57,239 --> 00:01:59,074
That's where coaching really helps.

48
00:01:59,713 --> 00:02:01,548
Trying to stay on track yourself can be

49
00:02:01,548 --> 00:02:03,463
kinda challenging. I know this because I've tried

50
00:02:03,463 --> 00:02:04,261
it a million times.

51
00:02:05,073 --> 00:02:06,502
I'd start doing something. I'd do it for

52
00:02:06,502 --> 00:02:08,329
a little while, then I'd go right back

53
00:02:08,329 --> 00:02:10,314
to doing these same old stuff or not

54
00:02:10,314 --> 00:02:12,140
doing what I was trying to do and

55
00:02:12,140 --> 00:02:13,887
really never make any progress towards my goals.

56
00:02:14,459 --> 00:02:16,456
Once I got a coach, everything changed for

57
00:02:16,456 --> 00:02:18,853
me. Now I had somebody that was guiding

58
00:02:18,853 --> 00:02:20,610
me every step of the way, holding me

59
00:02:20,610 --> 00:02:21,010
accountable,

60
00:02:21,583 --> 00:02:23,334
calling me out when I started slipping back

61
00:02:23,334 --> 00:02:25,244
in old behaviors. And most importantly,

62
00:02:25,802 --> 00:02:29,224
never ever letting me quit. If you're ready

63
00:02:29,224 --> 00:02:30,736
to start doing some new things,

64
00:02:31,229 --> 00:02:33,462
and wanna make sure that you never ever

65
00:02:33,462 --> 00:02:35,297
quit. Let's get you there. Just go to

66
00:02:35,297 --> 00:02:37,370
my website, running link coaching dot com, click

67
00:02:37,370 --> 00:02:39,603
on work with me, and I'll show you

68
00:02:39,603 --> 00:02:42,014
exactly how to become the most badass version

69
00:02:42,014 --> 00:02:43,294
of yourself yet. Cool.

70
00:02:44,574 --> 00:02:46,254
Alright. So today I have a replay for

71
00:02:46,254 --> 00:02:46,754
you

72
00:02:47,055 --> 00:02:50,107
called learning to love the process. And this

73
00:02:50,107 --> 00:02:51,784
is an episode that I did pretty early

74
00:02:51,784 --> 00:02:53,699
on, this is episode number 39,

75
00:02:54,178 --> 00:02:57,052
which was almost 200 episodes ago, which is

76
00:02:57,052 --> 00:02:57,770
just crazy.

77
00:02:58,184 --> 00:02:59,541
But I wanted to share this with you

78
00:02:59,541 --> 00:03:00,440
today because

79
00:03:00,897 --> 00:03:02,573
I think it's 1 of the most important

80
00:03:02,573 --> 00:03:04,509
principles that you need to adopt

81
00:03:04,966 --> 00:03:07,454
if you want, to improve your health, your

82
00:03:07,454 --> 00:03:10,007
fitness, lose weight and keep it off, run

83
00:03:10,007 --> 00:03:12,102
a faster marathon, really accomplishing

84
00:03:12,559 --> 00:03:15,032
any big goal. You have to learn how

85
00:03:15,032 --> 00:03:15,724
to love

86
00:03:16,082 --> 00:03:18,940
the process. So without any further ado, here's

87
00:03:18,940 --> 00:03:22,276
the replay of learning to love the process.

88
00:03:22,514 --> 00:03:23,308
I hope you enjoy.

89
00:03:24,836 --> 00:03:27,867
Okay. Let's talk about learning to love the

90
00:03:27,867 --> 00:03:28,925
process. So

91
00:03:30,020 --> 00:03:31,318
here's what I see happening

92
00:03:31,695 --> 00:03:33,370
with people. And I'm and I see this

93
00:03:33,370 --> 00:03:34,825
with my clients a lot.

94
00:03:36,504 --> 00:03:37,145
You have a goal.

95
00:03:37,784 --> 00:03:40,764
You want to lose weight or maybe your

96
00:03:41,238 --> 00:03:42,913
goal is to run your first marathon.

97
00:03:43,950 --> 00:03:45,226
So you create a plan.

98
00:03:46,183 --> 00:03:48,814
You change your diet. You change your your

99
00:03:48,814 --> 00:03:49,771
whole way of eating.

100
00:03:50,583 --> 00:03:52,250
You start eating all the right foods, You

101
00:03:52,250 --> 00:03:53,123
start feeling healthy,

102
00:03:54,393 --> 00:03:56,457
and things are going pretty well. Or maybe

103
00:03:56,457 --> 00:03:58,203
you start training for your marathon, so you

104
00:03:58,203 --> 00:03:58,679
put together,

105
00:03:59,808 --> 00:04:01,804
17 week training program.

106
00:04:02,682 --> 00:04:04,598
And you start running, and you get out

107
00:04:04,598 --> 00:04:06,274
there and you're running 4 or 5 days

108
00:04:06,274 --> 00:04:08,211
week, whatever it is. You're doing great

109
00:04:09,959 --> 00:04:11,235
but then something happens.

110
00:04:12,272 --> 00:04:14,447
You you look at the scale

111
00:04:14,983 --> 00:04:16,658
and you're like, you know, I'm really not

112
00:04:16,658 --> 00:04:18,188
losing much weight I've lost a couple of

113
00:04:18,188 --> 00:04:20,421
pounds and, you know, this is hard. This

114
00:04:20,421 --> 00:04:22,733
is a hard work. It's just not it's

115
00:04:22,733 --> 00:04:23,472
not going

116
00:04:23,849 --> 00:04:26,162
fast enough. It's not happening fast enough. I'm

117
00:04:26,162 --> 00:04:29,202
not losing weight. A fast enough. Or, you

118
00:04:29,202 --> 00:04:31,429
know, I'm running 5 times a week, and

119
00:04:31,429 --> 00:04:33,758
my endurance really isn't improving, Like, running

120
00:04:34,149 --> 00:04:36,616
still sucks. It's still hard. I'm not getting

121
00:04:36,616 --> 00:04:38,367
any better. It's not getting easier.

122
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,573
So what we do is we get super

123
00:04:41,805 --> 00:04:44,524
hyper focused on the end result. We get

124
00:04:44,524 --> 00:04:45,745
focused on the goal

125
00:04:46,285 --> 00:04:49,485
to lose the 40 pounds, run the 26.2

126
00:04:49,485 --> 00:04:49,725
miles.

127
00:04:50,775 --> 00:04:52,923
But you're not there yet. You're you're where

128
00:04:52,923 --> 00:04:53,639
you are today.

129
00:04:54,912 --> 00:04:56,980
You still have 38 pounds to lose.

130
00:04:57,473 --> 00:04:59,386
Or you're only up to running, you know,

131
00:04:59,625 --> 00:05:00,263
6 files.

132
00:05:01,538 --> 00:05:02,596
And so there's this

133
00:05:03,053 --> 00:05:03,372
tension.

134
00:05:04,248 --> 00:05:04,886
There's this,

135
00:05:06,576 --> 00:05:07,076
turmoil,

136
00:05:07,533 --> 00:05:09,548
if you will, that you sort of create

137
00:05:09,686 --> 00:05:10,484
inside yourself.

138
00:05:11,202 --> 00:05:12,877
I wanna be there, but I'm only here.

139
00:05:14,711 --> 00:05:18,076
You're not seeing immediate... You're you're not seeing

140
00:05:18,076 --> 00:05:20,230
immediate results. You're seeing some small changes, but

141
00:05:20,230 --> 00:05:20,629
they're small.

142
00:05:21,506 --> 00:05:22,304
It's taking too long.

143
00:05:23,420 --> 00:05:24,856
You know, it's not going fast enough.

144
00:05:25,669 --> 00:05:27,189
You know, I don't look like that 1

145
00:05:27,189 --> 00:05:29,669
woman on Instagram yet, or I can't run

146
00:05:29,669 --> 00:05:30,790
18 miles yet.

147
00:05:31,990 --> 00:05:33,050
And so you get frustrated.

148
00:05:34,245 --> 00:05:36,425
You get frustrated because you're not where you

149
00:05:36,485 --> 00:05:37,605
ultimately wanna be.

150
00:05:39,285 --> 00:05:41,384
And first of all, this

151
00:05:41,937 --> 00:05:43,210
doesn't make sense to me.

152
00:05:44,801 --> 00:05:46,552
It's like you're climbing a mountain, and you're

153
00:05:46,552 --> 00:05:48,541
and you're kinda like, at the at the

154
00:05:48,541 --> 00:05:49,973
base of the amount. You know, you've you've

155
00:05:49,973 --> 00:05:51,656
started, you know you're working your way up

156
00:05:51,656 --> 00:05:53,006
but you're still. You got a long way

157
00:05:53,006 --> 00:05:53,403
to go.

158
00:05:54,594 --> 00:05:57,055
It's like saying, oh, this isn't this isn't

159
00:05:57,055 --> 00:05:58,960
working. This isn't going fast enough.

160
00:05:59,595 --> 00:06:01,526
Or and you're like, looking up in the

161
00:06:01,526 --> 00:06:02,723
mountain. And you're like, I wanna be at

162
00:06:02,723 --> 00:06:04,479
the top, but I'm not there yet.

163
00:06:05,437 --> 00:06:07,353
It's like, you gotta, like, do the work

164
00:06:07,353 --> 00:06:08,710
to get you from here to there.

165
00:06:10,634 --> 00:06:12,941
Okay? You can't just like, hate being where

166
00:06:12,941 --> 00:06:13,600
you are

167
00:06:13,975 --> 00:06:16,361
and expect it to be like, easier to

168
00:06:16,361 --> 00:06:18,127
get to the top. That's That doesn't make

169
00:06:18,127 --> 00:06:18,526
any sense.

170
00:06:19,801 --> 00:06:21,954
So you get frustrated, you hate where you

171
00:06:21,954 --> 00:06:24,345
are. You're putting this hard work in. It's

172
00:06:24,345 --> 00:06:26,749
not working fast enough. And by the way,

173
00:06:26,908 --> 00:06:29,553
fast enough according to who? Like, who's who's

174
00:06:29,609 --> 00:06:31,141
saying you should be losing weight,

175
00:06:32,310 --> 00:06:34,216
a certain rate. Who says it's gonna take

176
00:06:34,216 --> 00:06:34,716
you

177
00:06:36,058 --> 00:06:38,127
you know, 6 weeks to lose 40 pounds

178
00:06:38,127 --> 00:06:39,798
when it took you 8 years to put

179
00:06:39,798 --> 00:06:42,424
it on. That doesn't make sense. Or, you

180
00:06:42,424 --> 00:06:44,493
know, to run 26 miles,

181
00:06:45,304 --> 00:06:47,222
it takes some time to build up to

182
00:06:47,222 --> 00:06:47,382
that.

183
00:06:49,380 --> 00:06:50,020
So anyway,

184
00:06:51,938 --> 00:06:53,456
I don't know why we put these arbitrary

185
00:06:53,456 --> 00:06:54,495
timelines on things.

186
00:06:55,706 --> 00:06:56,820
I used to do that, though, and I

187
00:06:56,820 --> 00:06:58,570
get it. And I used to put timelines

188
00:06:58,570 --> 00:06:59,922
on my goals. And when I didn't hit

189
00:06:59,922 --> 00:07:01,990
the goal in the timeline, I was...

190
00:07:02,562 --> 00:07:03,119
Pissed off.

191
00:07:04,073 --> 00:07:05,051
I got frustrated,

192
00:07:05,585 --> 00:07:07,119
and a lot of times I would just

193
00:07:07,176 --> 00:07:07,574
give up.

194
00:07:09,165 --> 00:07:10,970
So that's another whole story.

195
00:07:11,889 --> 00:07:14,129
That's another topic. I'll save that whole goal

196
00:07:14,129 --> 00:07:15,810
setting and timelines and stuff for another day,

197
00:07:15,970 --> 00:07:16,689
but just know this.

198
00:07:17,569 --> 00:07:19,658
When you are fresh up traded with where

199
00:07:19,658 --> 00:07:21,562
you are it's gonna be very difficult to

200
00:07:21,562 --> 00:07:22,753
get to that result.

201
00:07:24,102 --> 00:07:25,372
So what happens when most people are in

202
00:07:25,372 --> 00:07:27,490
this situation? What do most people do created

203
00:07:27,768 --> 00:07:29,601
when they're not getting the results fast enough,

204
00:07:30,397 --> 00:07:31,295
when they're frustrated,

205
00:07:32,389 --> 00:07:34,562
when when they're hating the process

206
00:07:35,031 --> 00:07:37,175
They quit. Right? They're like screws is it's

207
00:07:37,175 --> 00:07:38,605
too hard it's taking too long. It's not

208
00:07:38,605 --> 00:07:40,931
worth it. I'm just gonna go back to

209
00:07:41,066 --> 00:07:42,440
eating the way I was eating

210
00:07:42,989 --> 00:07:44,667
which by the way, was definitely not gonna

211
00:07:44,667 --> 00:07:45,466
get you to your goals.

212
00:07:46,265 --> 00:07:48,123
Or I'm just gonna sleep it on Saturdays

213
00:07:48,183 --> 00:07:49,381
and spend all day on the couch watching

214
00:07:49,461 --> 00:07:49,941
Netflix,

215
00:07:50,500 --> 00:07:52,671
which definitely won't get you to that goal.

216
00:07:54,107 --> 00:07:55,624
So they give up on these big goals.

217
00:07:55,864 --> 00:07:58,657
They give up on these dreams because it's

218
00:07:58,657 --> 00:08:00,829
not happening fast enough. And they begin to

219
00:08:00,829 --> 00:08:01,329
hate

220
00:08:01,788 --> 00:08:02,587
the process.

221
00:08:04,505 --> 00:08:05,724
When you hate the process,

222
00:08:06,662 --> 00:08:08,681
you are going to have a very

223
00:08:09,555 --> 00:08:11,795
very hard time sticking to that process.

224
00:08:12,435 --> 00:08:14,194
It's all going to be terrible. It's just

225
00:08:14,194 --> 00:08:15,314
going to suck all the time.

226
00:08:16,514 --> 00:08:18,435
And is that how you wanna to approach,

227
00:08:20,279 --> 00:08:21,152
accomplishing this goal.

228
00:08:22,184 --> 00:08:24,088
Is that how you wanna go through life?

229
00:08:24,247 --> 00:08:26,255
Because we're always gonna have goals that we're

230
00:08:26,389 --> 00:08:27,342
working towards. Right?

231
00:08:28,708 --> 00:08:30,855
Here here's an example from my own life

232
00:08:30,855 --> 00:08:32,525
just so you can kind of put this

233
00:08:32,525 --> 00:08:33,082
in perspective.

234
00:08:33,638 --> 00:08:36,922
So I've been trying to increase my lean

235
00:08:36,978 --> 00:08:39,697
muscle mass. I'm been trying to build more

236
00:08:39,697 --> 00:08:40,094
muscle,

237
00:08:40,730 --> 00:08:42,082
and it's hard work. I will tell you.

238
00:08:42,241 --> 00:08:43,433
It is difficult,

239
00:08:44,467 --> 00:08:46,375
and it's taking a while, and I haven't

240
00:08:46,375 --> 00:08:48,383
been seeing some much progress.

241
00:08:49,662 --> 00:08:51,580
And I was beginning to get frustrated with

242
00:08:51,580 --> 00:08:52,938
all of this. So I'm putting in a

243
00:08:52,938 --> 00:08:55,655
lot of hard work. I'm strength training 3

244
00:08:55,655 --> 00:08:56,135
times a week,

245
00:08:56,789 --> 00:08:57,188
religiously,

246
00:08:57,828 --> 00:08:58,947
you know, I go I go to the

247
00:08:58,947 --> 00:09:00,385
gym and I go at it hard, and

248
00:09:00,545 --> 00:09:03,422
I'm starting to think why even bother it's

249
00:09:03,422 --> 00:09:05,120
not working. And I was hating,

250
00:09:05,674 --> 00:09:07,586
what I was doing. I started to just

251
00:09:07,586 --> 00:09:09,897
hate the whole thing. It just was terrible.

252
00:09:11,252 --> 00:09:11,752
And

253
00:09:12,447 --> 00:09:14,056
just a little back story. I've always had

254
00:09:14,056 --> 00:09:16,446
a hard time, like, bulk up, and this

255
00:09:16,446 --> 00:09:18,597
may be my genetics. I was always a

256
00:09:18,597 --> 00:09:20,293
skinny kid until I got fat

257
00:09:20,923 --> 00:09:22,752
And then I was the fat guy with

258
00:09:22,752 --> 00:09:23,389
no muscles.

259
00:09:24,502 --> 00:09:26,968
Then I got skinny again, and I trained

260
00:09:26,968 --> 00:09:27,843
for iron man,

261
00:09:29,448 --> 00:09:30,639
you know, I was going to the gym

262
00:09:30,639 --> 00:09:32,307
all the time, but I could never really

263
00:09:32,307 --> 00:09:33,657
bulk up. I could never really put on

264
00:09:33,657 --> 00:09:33,974
muscle.

265
00:09:34,768 --> 00:09:36,595
And so I was just thinking maybe this

266
00:09:36,595 --> 00:09:38,842
isn't for me. You know, in 53 now.

267
00:09:39,082 --> 00:09:41,899
Maybe it's just not possible for me to

268
00:09:43,076 --> 00:09:43,875
build muscle.

269
00:09:44,849 --> 00:09:46,922
And I was really kind of hating the

270
00:09:46,922 --> 00:09:48,199
process. So I had to make a decision.

271
00:09:49,554 --> 00:09:50,591
I came to a point where I was

272
00:09:50,591 --> 00:09:52,368
like, okay. I can just say

273
00:09:52,825 --> 00:09:54,021
this is too hard,

274
00:09:54,674 --> 00:09:57,293
taking too long, it's not happening fast enough,

275
00:09:58,721 --> 00:10:00,309
you know, I'm just gonna say screw it,

276
00:10:00,467 --> 00:10:01,420
why even bother.

277
00:10:02,709 --> 00:10:03,209
Or

278
00:10:04,547 --> 00:10:06,565
I could adopt this new mindset.

279
00:10:07,584 --> 00:10:09,122
I could learn to love

280
00:10:09,581 --> 00:10:10,401
the process.

281
00:10:11,674 --> 00:10:13,212
And for me, the process is

282
00:10:13,591 --> 00:10:14,730
going to the gym

283
00:10:15,269 --> 00:10:17,506
3 times a week and working out.

284
00:10:18,718 --> 00:10:21,048
The the the process is

285
00:10:21,503 --> 00:10:22,617
putting in the training,

286
00:10:23,174 --> 00:10:24,447
lifting the heavy things,

287
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,550
pushing myself harder each week.

288
00:10:28,442 --> 00:10:30,218
Learning everything I could

289
00:10:30,755 --> 00:10:33,387
about this topic of weight training and how

290
00:10:33,387 --> 00:10:35,381
to do it more efficiently, how to get

291
00:10:35,381 --> 00:10:36,737
the most bang for the buck?

292
00:10:37,789 --> 00:10:39,089
So I started studying

293
00:10:39,468 --> 00:10:40,207
the subject

294
00:10:40,666 --> 00:10:41,166
of

295
00:10:41,546 --> 00:10:44,582
resistance training like crazy, and I started pushing

296
00:10:44,582 --> 00:10:46,101
myself super hard each week at the gym,

297
00:10:46,261 --> 00:10:47,480
and I started really

298
00:10:47,952 --> 00:10:49,702
get into this and start to love the

299
00:10:49,702 --> 00:10:50,179
process.

300
00:10:51,690 --> 00:10:52,747
So much so

301
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,666
that I'm actually becoming a certified personal trainer,

302
00:10:56,396 --> 00:10:58,299
because I'm like, I wanna learn everything I

303
00:10:58,299 --> 00:11:00,281
can about this and be able to teach

304
00:11:00,281 --> 00:11:01,074
it to others,

305
00:11:01,867 --> 00:11:03,795
especially as we get older, It's very important

306
00:11:04,263 --> 00:11:05,300
to continue to,

307
00:11:06,098 --> 00:11:09,049
keep your muscle strength up, build muscle, it's

308
00:11:09,049 --> 00:11:11,202
so good for your for your joints for

309
00:11:11,202 --> 00:11:13,435
your bones, for your overall health,

310
00:11:14,489 --> 00:11:17,285
to have more lean mass. It's great for,

311
00:11:17,924 --> 00:11:20,002
fat burning, it helps you for running,

312
00:11:20,801 --> 00:11:23,612
most runners don't, do enough strength training, and

313
00:11:23,612 --> 00:11:25,290
so I wanna help runners learn how to

314
00:11:25,290 --> 00:11:26,089
do this stuff the right way.

315
00:11:27,128 --> 00:11:30,839
Anyway, I've learned that I need to love

316
00:11:31,139 --> 00:11:31,959
this process.

317
00:11:32,419 --> 00:11:34,019
And it's still gonna take a while for

318
00:11:34,019 --> 00:11:34,980
me to get to the goals.

319
00:11:35,620 --> 00:11:36,899
You know, it's still gonna take a while

320
00:11:36,899 --> 00:11:38,904
for me to to build the muscle or

321
00:11:38,904 --> 00:11:40,177
look the way that I wanna look.

322
00:11:40,972 --> 00:11:42,563
I'm getting there. I'm starting to see some

323
00:11:42,563 --> 00:11:43,938
progress. It's slow

324
00:11:45,281 --> 00:11:47,030
I think it's easier when you're younger to

325
00:11:47,030 --> 00:11:49,334
build... To, like, bulk up, like the Instagram

326
00:11:49,334 --> 00:11:51,082
dues. I see, you know, They're, like, ripped,

327
00:11:51,321 --> 00:11:52,751
and I'm like, okay. Whatever.

328
00:11:53,961 --> 00:11:55,236
It may take me a while to get

329
00:11:55,236 --> 00:11:57,068
there, but my goal is to get there

330
00:11:57,068 --> 00:11:57,307
eventually.

331
00:11:59,299 --> 00:12:01,610
And and it's taking while, but I'm enjoying

332
00:12:01,610 --> 00:12:02,646
the process now.

333
00:12:03,377 --> 00:12:05,468
I'm loving the process. I'm not frustrated

334
00:12:06,241 --> 00:12:08,309
that it's taking a while, because I know

335
00:12:08,309 --> 00:12:09,184
the results will come.

336
00:12:10,629 --> 00:12:11,923
If I love the process

337
00:12:12,534 --> 00:12:13,724
or hate the process,

338
00:12:14,597 --> 00:12:16,264
but I keep doing it, the the results

339
00:12:16,264 --> 00:12:17,216
will eventually come.

340
00:12:19,139 --> 00:12:21,460
You can either hate every minute of it

341
00:12:21,460 --> 00:12:22,980
or you can love every minute of it.

342
00:12:23,940 --> 00:12:25,139
The choice is yours to make.

343
00:12:28,187 --> 00:12:30,416
And I see this with my clients a

344
00:12:30,416 --> 00:12:31,871
lot, my weight loss clients

345
00:12:32,645 --> 00:12:34,555
because, you know what? Losing weight is hard.

346
00:12:35,287 --> 00:12:37,916
Most diets fail. Most people fail at losing

347
00:12:37,916 --> 00:12:39,430
weight is because they're just focused on 1

348
00:12:39,430 --> 00:12:41,024
thing. They're focused on the number on the

349
00:12:41,024 --> 00:12:41,263
scale.

350
00:12:42,154 --> 00:12:43,349
And when I work with people,

351
00:12:45,499 --> 00:12:48,628
we talk a lot about becoming the healthiest

352
00:12:49,004 --> 00:12:50,916
human being possible.

353
00:12:52,206 --> 00:12:55,257
We work on breaking old habits and creating

354
00:12:55,475 --> 00:12:56,294
a new

355
00:12:56,910 --> 00:12:57,410
healthy

356
00:12:57,867 --> 00:12:59,063
lifestyle, new habits.

357
00:13:00,353 --> 00:13:02,050
The goal is permanent

358
00:13:02,507 --> 00:13:04,900
lifestyle change, not some temporary quick fix.

359
00:13:05,538 --> 00:13:07,452
The goal isn't really the number on the

360
00:13:07,452 --> 00:13:09,765
scale, although that eventually will happen.

361
00:13:12,174 --> 00:13:13,052
But it takes time,

362
00:13:13,690 --> 00:13:15,685
and you have to learn to love what

363
00:13:15,685 --> 00:13:16,323
you're doing.

364
00:13:17,121 --> 00:13:17,894
This is why it's

365
00:13:18,573 --> 00:13:21,068
so helpful to have a coach. So anyone

366
00:13:21,286 --> 00:13:22,563
can just tell you what to do. You

367
00:13:22,563 --> 00:13:25,116
can actually go on Youtube and learn what

368
00:13:25,116 --> 00:13:27,687
to eat. You know, But with a coach,

369
00:13:28,646 --> 00:13:30,803
you get to learn how to love the

370
00:13:30,803 --> 00:13:32,640
entire process. You get to learn how to

371
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:33,040
change.

372
00:13:33,534 --> 00:13:37,043
Your mindset. You learned how to adopt a

373
00:13:37,043 --> 00:13:39,915
whole new attitude, a whole new identity around

374
00:13:39,915 --> 00:13:42,068
what it means to be a healthy human

375
00:13:42,068 --> 00:13:42,228
being.

376
00:13:43,519 --> 00:13:45,694
And my clients, they learn to love

377
00:13:46,551 --> 00:13:48,168
themselves. They learn to love

378
00:13:48,625 --> 00:13:49,684
their new

379
00:13:50,061 --> 00:13:50,460
way of.

380
00:13:51,113 --> 00:13:53,605
Eating. They're a new way of approaching nutrition

381
00:13:53,662 --> 00:13:55,415
and exercise and fitness.

382
00:13:56,689 --> 00:13:59,318
And they they love this new life,

383
00:14:00,370 --> 00:14:02,789
they learn to develop the the mindset

384
00:14:03,250 --> 00:14:05,269
required to make lasting

385
00:14:05,649 --> 00:14:06,149
changes.

386
00:14:07,089 --> 00:14:08,289
They learn to love,

387
00:14:09,024 --> 00:14:09,764
the process.

388
00:14:10,462 --> 00:14:11,740
Yes, they still have goals.

389
00:14:12,459 --> 00:14:14,776
They still want to, you know, lose 30

390
00:14:14,776 --> 00:14:15,735
pounds or whatever it is.

391
00:14:16,546 --> 00:14:19,034
But they're not so focused on the goal

392
00:14:19,250 --> 00:14:21,953
that they hate everything about what they're doing

393
00:14:21,953 --> 00:14:22,771
every day

394
00:14:23,145 --> 00:14:24,100
because they're not there yet.

395
00:14:25,944 --> 00:14:28,182
The results will come in time. You just

396
00:14:28,182 --> 00:14:29,700
gotta stick with it and it's a lot

397
00:14:29,700 --> 00:14:30,200
easier

398
00:14:30,659 --> 00:14:31,879
to stay on track

399
00:14:32,577 --> 00:14:34,176
when you love what you're doing.

400
00:14:35,868 --> 00:14:38,975
Honestly, this is the key to succeeding at

401
00:14:38,975 --> 00:14:40,191
anything in life

402
00:14:42,161 --> 00:14:45,122
is, to love what you're doing. Love the

403
00:14:45,122 --> 00:14:47,988
process. Not only love yourself, but love the

404
00:14:47,988 --> 00:14:48,966
process of

405
00:14:49,341 --> 00:14:50,239
getting there

406
00:14:52,301 --> 00:14:53,437
because the reality is

407
00:14:53,812 --> 00:14:54,869
when it comes to,

408
00:14:55,642 --> 00:14:58,042
like, losing weight. It does take time.

409
00:14:59,392 --> 00:15:01,457
You know, it I often remind my clients

410
00:15:01,457 --> 00:15:03,522
that it took them years, decades to gain

411
00:15:03,522 --> 00:15:05,110
the weight. It's not gonna be gone in

412
00:15:05,110 --> 00:15:06,301
a couple of weeks or a couple of

413
00:15:06,301 --> 00:15:07,149
months. Time

414
00:15:08,066 --> 00:15:09,500
But if you can love the process.

415
00:15:10,137 --> 00:15:13,027
When you learn to love this healthy new

416
00:15:13,084 --> 00:15:13,961
life that you're living,

417
00:15:14,535 --> 00:15:17,274
when your focus is not only on

418
00:15:18,054 --> 00:15:20,054
a number on the scale or some short

419
00:15:20,054 --> 00:15:22,375
term gains. And instead, your focus is on,

420
00:15:23,428 --> 00:15:26,864
optimizing your long term health and overall fitness.

421
00:15:27,583 --> 00:15:29,021
It's still gonna take the same amount of

422
00:15:29,021 --> 00:15:29,180
time.

423
00:15:30,312 --> 00:15:32,559
But it will be way more enjoyable

424
00:15:33,251 --> 00:15:33,807
getting there.

425
00:15:36,032 --> 00:15:37,724
Another example of this is

426
00:15:38,177 --> 00:15:41,079
with my running lately. So

427
00:15:41,852 --> 00:15:43,784
I've been training for a

428
00:15:44,239 --> 00:15:45,432
rather big running event,

429
00:15:46,481 --> 00:15:49,984
in October that I'm not really talking about

430
00:15:49,984 --> 00:15:51,735
too much, I'm being very big, I know.

431
00:15:53,088 --> 00:15:55,690
And normally, when I have a big event

432
00:15:55,729 --> 00:15:57,558
like this. I dread the training. I dread

433
00:15:57,558 --> 00:16:00,261
it. It's grueling. It's very hard work. I

434
00:16:00,261 --> 00:16:01,772
hate the long runs.

435
00:16:02,647 --> 00:16:04,555
But I've noticed something over the last couple

436
00:16:04,555 --> 00:16:05,404
of months like

437
00:16:06,078 --> 00:16:08,798
I've noticed that I have really been loving

438
00:16:08,932 --> 00:16:09,567
the training.

439
00:16:10,597 --> 00:16:12,104
It's been fun. We've been going out a

440
00:16:12,104 --> 00:16:12,658
few friends,

441
00:16:13,547 --> 00:16:15,217
I've only been... I'm running, like, 3 times

442
00:16:15,217 --> 00:16:15,536
a week.

443
00:16:17,286 --> 00:16:19,138
I'm not taking myself too seriously.

444
00:16:20,323 --> 00:16:21,459
I'm increasing distances

445
00:16:21,833 --> 00:16:24,534
and I'm not, like dread those long runs.

446
00:16:25,964 --> 00:16:27,474
I'm actually looking forward to them.

447
00:16:29,078 --> 00:16:29,578
And

448
00:16:30,110 --> 00:16:31,857
without really even trying,

449
00:16:33,127 --> 00:16:34,738
I've just learned to

450
00:16:35,112 --> 00:16:37,493
really enjoy the process of training.

451
00:16:38,858 --> 00:16:40,445
And, yeah, it's still hard sometimes.

452
00:16:41,476 --> 00:16:44,174
Running is hard sometimes. Right? Running 18 or

453
00:16:44,174 --> 00:16:44,729
20 miles,

454
00:16:45,538 --> 00:16:47,288
will probably always be somewhat challenging.

455
00:16:48,322 --> 00:16:50,707
But if you hate every minute of it,

456
00:16:51,264 --> 00:16:53,888
if you are dread every step, you, you

457
00:16:53,888 --> 00:16:54,842
know, you head out the door and you're

458
00:16:54,842 --> 00:16:57,244
like, on my god this next 3 hours

459
00:16:57,244 --> 00:16:58,914
of running is gonna suck. That's no fun.

460
00:17:00,187 --> 00:17:01,938
That's no fun at all. So instead I've

461
00:17:01,938 --> 00:17:02,438
been

462
00:17:02,828 --> 00:17:04,045
I've been loving

463
00:17:04,660 --> 00:17:06,491
the training. I've been loving the process of

464
00:17:06,491 --> 00:17:08,164
just going out there into the... And putting

465
00:17:08,164 --> 00:17:10,234
the work. And it's way more fun doing

466
00:17:10,234 --> 00:17:11,244
it this way. I

467
00:17:11,765 --> 00:17:13,125
promise you it's way more fun.

468
00:17:14,805 --> 00:17:16,585
When you hate the process,

469
00:17:17,285 --> 00:17:18,265
every moment

470
00:17:18,964 --> 00:17:20,085
feels like failure.

471
00:17:21,219 --> 00:17:22,833
But when you love the process,

472
00:17:23,925 --> 00:17:25,836
every moment feels like success.

473
00:17:27,428 --> 00:17:28,543
The end result is the same.

474
00:17:29,353 --> 00:17:30,461
You'll eventually reach your goal,

475
00:17:31,570 --> 00:17:34,207
but you'll be a completely different person

476
00:17:34,737 --> 00:17:35,211
doing it.

477
00:17:36,416 --> 00:17:37,850
That's all I got for you today. Lots

478
00:17:37,850 --> 00:17:39,045
of loved to each and every 1 of

479
00:17:39,045 --> 00:17:41,753
you, my friends, keep on running lean, and

480
00:17:41,912 --> 00:17:42,629
I'll talk to you soon.
