Frustration, defeat, inconsistency! These are common words that I hear being used frequently when asked to describe one’s attempt at pursing a healthy lifestyle. Allow me to introduce myself: my name is Chelsea Cherry. I am the founder of a holistic health brand, The Triple Threat Lifestyle. As a professional in the health and wellness field (certified personal trainer and holistic health coach), I have created a brand that fully embodies the physical, mental and emotional fitness trifecta—the three pillars on which everything else stands. Once these three areas are in alignment, this will cause a person to be a powerful Triple Threat!

Having experienced my own transformation journey, this method has been studied, tested, and proven to produce ideal results for a sustainable lifestyle. It’s much more than just fitness and nutritional needs, it’s an entire holistic balance of life. Sustainability is key to not only beginning a healthy lifestyle change, but also in maintaining it for a lifetime. If we’ve ever tried forming or breaking a new or existing habit, we can all probably relate to the stop-and-go flow, or lack there of, in some area of our lives. Having been there and done that, it gives me a deeper level of understanding and relatability in pursuit of such a journey. With taking great pride in changing lives, each drop of sweat is what ultimately makes this the most rewarding career. I’d like to offer you a new perspective, and a few pieces of experiential advice on ways that you, too, can successfully pursue a consistently healthy lifestyle.

NO MORE FRUSTRATION, DEFEAT, OR INCONSISTENCY!

1.) Nutritionally, go for healthy alternatives for 90% of your week to satisfy cravings, and reward yourself with a treat in moderation the other 10% (i.e. during the week you may have whole wheat noodles or fiber noodles with low calorie sauce, but on the weekend you may have a meal of real Italian cuisine. The same goes for sweets).

2.) Fitness wise, realize that not everyday will be your best day. Showing up and doing something rather than nothing is the game changer in which keeps you consistent.

3.) Socially, if you have an event with friends coming up, plan ahead to eat lighter healthier meals throughout the day, and save your extra calories for your outing.

4.) Pay it forward: meaning put your money where your mouth is for extra-accountability. If getting fit is your priority, invest your finances in advance, that way you will still show up on the days you don’t feel like it.

5.) Show yourself love and care along the journey. If you’re out of shape, realize that you must be patient in getting results. Remember, getting out of shape didn’t happen over night, so neither will your fitness journey.
