Actually, You Are A Real Runner

My teacher heart cried during today's episode when Eddy shares how something from elementary school stuck with him through his running and music adventures.    Eddy is a trail runner, musician, podcaster, and all-around awesome guy. We chat about running and how it can help us with all the challenges that come up in life.    Definitely connect with Eddy and checkout his podcast: Website:  www.nebulamusicpodcast.com FB: www.facebook.com/nebulamusicpodcast IG: www.instagram.com/eddybarcodrums   ---------   Apply for 1 on 1 Coaching with Jaclyn: http://www.imperfecteating.com    

Anyone else try to go from 0 to 100 when it comes to food or working out?   Anyone else a complete jerk to themselves when they "mess up" with something?      I loved chatting with Susan on today's podcast as she shares her journey from overdoing it with the cardio, becoming a successful half-marathoner with the run-walk method, and getting physically and mentally stronger while lifting weights.     Susan shares how she got out of yo-yo dieting, why "clean eating" really ISN'T the best way to lose weight, and why being scared of and missing out on birthday cake isn't a life she wants to live.   She believes in fitness as a tool for life and not as punishment for what you ate.     Susan is a personal trainer + momma and also a former counselor and teacher. She helps middle age women lose weight in a sustainable way with trust, faith, and practice.    This is THE episode is for anyone who thinks fitness isn't for them. Fitness can start at any age.

After our episode, we started chatting about bikini competitions, tracking macros, and marathon training.     Apply for 1 on 1 Coaching with Jaclyn: http://www.imperfecteating.com  

A lot of us start working out for the aesthetics. Maybe we saw a fitspo account on social media, the comparisonitis began... and we just wanted to fit into clothes better, have confidence in the mirror, wear a bathing suit, tone/get muscles... whatever.  I loved today's chat with Coach Christa because she gets it. Looking great is cool, but she also believes there is more to fitness than just the aesthetics.   Her coaching centers around mindset and what a huge piece that is to the health equation... and life.

Ok- sooo this is from an IG Live and I'll be the first to admit I wanna slap myself for saying sugar like 15 times in 4 seconds, but that's what happens when you're a bit nervous doing something new for the first time. Let's talk desserts and summer and when you feel like maybe you've had too much and feel like you gotta do a 7 day no sugar cleanse...   What happens when we deprive?  Where do we swing after it?   XOXO ---- Apply for 1 on 1 Coaching with Jaclyn: http://www.imperfecteating.com  

Hey hi! In the last 3 months, I got married in a different state, moved out of an apartment, did a 2 week road trip, went to a bachelorette party, and crashed with the in-laws. In the next few months, we will be traveling a ton more and consistently living an uncertain cray life.    I get it.   Today we will be talking about how to schedule workouts and how to decide if our goals are 1. Fat loss 2. Performance   or   3. Maintenance... just being healthy and energized.         Apply for 1 on 1 Coaching with Jaclyn: http://www.imperfecteating.com  

I mess up a lot. Like a lot. But I keep moving. I keep going. I stop stressing about the shit I mess up because the time I spend stressing is time I could have spent doing shit.    Whether you are training for a marathon, working on a weight loss goal, or just living life, stop expecting a perfect ride. Starting expecting imperfection along the way SO THAT when it pops up, you're not surprised, you're not startled, and you're not a bitch to yourself. Start using those dips in the ride as opportunities to get stronger.   xoxo   Apply for 1 on 1 Coaching with Jaclyn: http://www.imperfecteating.com

We gain weight from a calorie surplus. Eating more calories/food than our body burns.  So while we know we need to eat less/move more, it's not that simple in practice. I worked on getting a handle on the stressors in life, and this helped me get a handle on the stress eating that created the calorie surplus.   -----   Apply for 1 on 1 Coaching with Jaclyn: http://www.imperfecteating.com

This super imperfect episode comes to you from the road as we find some place to spend the night. Just kidding. Kinda.   2.5 years ago, I decided to stop dieting. Stop doing perfect meal plans. Stop doing Meal Prep Sunday. And stop obsessing over food.   The thing is, after doing those things for so long, it all didn't change overnight. It took time unlearning the habits and mindset I had when it came to food and LIFE.   We talk about being Imperfect yet Consistent and what the heck that means while we are on this road trip through the south... where most veggies on a menu are breaded and fried.   Forgive me for talking in circles and not presenting unfinished thoughts. I'm focusing on the process right now and not a super polished and perfect end goal. Join me in being imperfect. It's fun.  ------------------------------- Connect w/Jaclyn Apply for 1 on 1 Coaching with Jaclyn: http://www.imperfecteating.com FB: https://www.facebook.com/jaclyn.ricchio IG: https://www.instagram.com/jaclynricchio/ Blog: www.j

Sometimes we look on social media and see other women's profiles and think everything in their lives is cheery + perfect and probably always has been.   I loved talking with Sarah in today's episode because she let us hear about her up and down journey with health from being a smoker in her early adult life to dealing with injury and sickness. This former teacher and current mom understands the difficulties that happens in life, but she has a growth-mindset about life and has become stronger because of those challenges.   And you guys, she trained for a marathon, it got canceled, and she still ran! Talk about strength!    Sarah has FREE workouts on her Instagram that you can do with minimal to NO equipment, and she a wealth of knowledge about gut health and pelvic floor on her blog!   IG: www.instagram.com/sarahsmithstrength/ FB: www.facebook.com/sarah.o.smith.18 Blog: sarahsmithstrength.com     ------------------------------- Apply for 1 on 1 Coaching with Jaclyn: http://www.imperfecteating.com FB: https://

Have you ever worked out for like 6 months straight, ate super healthy, felt amazing, and then fallen into a hole where these acts felt impossible?  I've been MIA. I was consistent with this podcast for 6 months, and this past month has been a mess because of the little voice inside telling me I can't do this. Here's what I am doing to get myself out of this mini hole before it turns into a giant hole:   Applying imperfect action.   This podcast is not polished. I talk in circles... as I walk in circles. But it was my mini action to get myself going. If you're in a hole, I want you to apply action today.   I don't want you to do a 60 minute workout, and I don't want you to plan a whole week's worth of perfect meals. You/we won't be able to keep up with that for life.   Pick a super small action. Even smaller. Something you can do for 7 days straight. And then let's do it for 7 days straight... and repeat some more.   xoxo     Lemme know what you picked: coachjaclyn@jaclynriccho.com   ---------- Connect w/Jacl

I used to think of exercise as punishment for what I ate or as something that was really, really hard and just another thing to add to my super long to do list. Surprise! It never got done. I kept thinking of it as something extra and not something that would actually help me.   You know all that changed when I did my first 5k and trained for my first long distance race.   If you're someone who has a different schedule this summer and go back and forth about the place fitness has in your life, give today's episode a listen.  Did you sign up for a race after listening to this? Tag @jaclynricchio on your IG story, and I will cheer you on!!       ------------------------------- Connect w/Jaclyn   Apply for 1 on 1 Coaching with Jaclyn: http://www.imperfecteating.com FB: https://www.facebook.com/jaclyn.ricchio IG: https://www.instagram.com/jaclynricchio/ Blog: www.jaclynricchio.com    

Lyn Lindbergh is no stranger when it comes to having a stressful and inactive lifestyle. This former kindergarten teacher turned dot.com 9-5er saw how a lack of health and fitness took a toll on her life.  Lyn loved the social aspect of running races, and fitness became a part of her life. She created Couch to Active to help busy professionals make exercise a part of their lives too.   Connect with Lyn on FB: https://www.facebook.com/couchtoactive/ Website: https://www.couchtoactive.com/   And be on the lookout this fall for her book!     ------------------------------- Apply for 1 on 1 Coaching with Jaclyn: http://www.imperfecteating.com FB: https://www.facebook.com/jaclyn.ricchio IG: https://www.instagram.com/jaclynricchio/ Blog: www.jaclynricchio.com  

Oftentimes, we start running to work on a weight loss goal.
