Welcome to Motivation Monday, where every Monday we answer all of your questions and have some real talks about life & fitness & get you fired up for the week! In this episode we talk about how to lose weight for life, avoid overthinking and proper workout structure.
(0:20) - Question 1- I’ve lost weight a few different times but never seem to keep it off. How do you guys make sure weight loss is forever instead of a phase?
(11:27) - Kyle quote: “Don’t wait until you reach your goal to be proud of yourself. Be proud of every step you take.”
(13:30) Josh quote: “You don’t get the body you want by doing what’s comfortable. You get it by doing what’s required.”
What has us excited or intrigued:
(18:40) - Client shoutout: Jose Garcia- 17lbs down in 12 weeks
(21:55) - Question 2- I find I constantly over think and have a hard time making the right decisions for me, on my journey. Then I end up doing nothing. How would you navigate this?
(30:35) Question 3- I find my workout takes over 2 hours. Once I do 15 mins mobility, 15 mins warmup etc, I’m already 30 mins in. Any tips to speed it up?
Thanks for listening! We genuinely appreciate every single one of you listening.

| 0:00.0 | What's going on everybody? Welcome to the fit, healthy, and most of all happy podcast. I'm your |
| 0:05.1 | coach and host Josh here with his co-host and co-coach KG and I'm in the house. This is |
| 0:11.5 | Motivation Monday. So let's get fired up, answer your questions and show you how to live a fitter, |
| 0:16.2 | healthier and happier life. I'm going to jump to the first question out of the mailbag. I've lost |
| 0:20.7 | weight a few |
| 0:21.5 | different times, but never seem to keep it off. How do you guys make sure your weight loss is |
| 0:26.0 | forever instead of just a phase? Yeah, that's a great question. And when it comes down to it, |
| 0:31.0 | there's so much that needs to be taken into consideration. And what really inspired this question |
| 0:35.9 | was I was talking to two individuals yesterday who just signed up for coaching, met up with them in person. |
| 0:41.3 | I'm really excited to help them out. |

| 0:46.7 | And he's effectively lost 100 pounds now to this day. |
| 0:50.2 | And he's lost weight in the past a couple different ways. |

And, you know, he was just saying how he can still have some of his favorite foods and he can still enjoy the process and is very flexible. And so it was a great conversation, but it just really got me thinking about |

| 1:24.0 | Let's just say they have mentioned I lost weight doing keto, you know, a couple years ago, |
| 1:29.2 | I lost 20 pounds. Now I gain 30 back. I'm trying to get back to it. I've heard this so many |

| 1:39.4 | So when you start this fitness journey and you intend to keep weight off and you intend to keep |
