Rock That Fitness with AnnaRockstar

I had the pleasure of talking to our RockStar Spotlight of the Month, Nicole Guerrieri. Before joining Rock That Fitness, Nicole’s weight fluctuated 20-40 pounds and she realized she needed something more consistent in her life. She started in Rock That Fitness a year ago and has been CRUSHING it! Nicole was able to reflect on her life with me concerning her struggles using food to soothe her emotions (hello the big bowl of pasta) and where she felt that she would always give up before reaching her goals. If this is the first episode of RTF that you are listening to, I highly recommend that you head back to RTF# 1 (linked below) to learn more about me and my passion to help women live the life they want!

Recently, I have been getting messages from my WW friends about the recent news of WW jumping into the business of weight loss medication and adding prescription medications into their weight loss program. I know it is challenging, BUT, transitioning away from “diet programs” that kept me coming back was the best thing I have done for my life. I am super pumped to be able to share with you how my life and health have transformed for the better by ditching the diet programs and focusing on mindful eating and strength training to lose fat and increase muscle mass. As a disclaimer, this is not about bashing any specific program including WW. We all have a journey to get us to where we want to go. If you want to hear about my journey from the beginning, make sure to head to episode one (linked below)!

That is wild! The list of benefits about getting good sleep is LONG. Just scratching the surface, benefits include more energy, better mood, stronger immune system, better regulated hormones and metabolism, cell regeneration, improved memory and decision making skills, and reduced stress. The questions answered during this episode are: ✅Why is sleep important? ✅What are the impacts of not getting enough sleep? ✅What is the 35,000 foot view of sleep? ✅What happens when we sleep?

In this episode, I have the privilege of talking to our RockStar Spotlight of the month, Jen Lyon! Jen is super busy with being a mom, wife, and student all while working on her health and fitness inside Rock That Fitness. Like many other RockStars, Jen found me through WW and realized that it just wasn’t working for her anymore… she needed something more! Jen opens up about her struggles with having an all or nothing mentality, taking her two years being in the program to put into place the healthy mindset Rock That Fitness emphasizes. By using the tools she has learned while improving her consistency with nutrition and strength training, Jen is the smallest she has been since high school and does not need insulin to manage her type 2 diabetes anymore!

In this episode, Coach Abby and I dive deep into meal plans and meal prepping to help you implement your own road map to improve your weight loss success. Just a heads up, the meal plan is more important than the meal prep! Coach Abby and I both agree that instead of giving you a personalized meal plan, we want to teach you the steps to create a sustainable meal plan that fits your lifestyle, food preferences, and fitness goals. A few questions to help you build a meal plan are: ✅What is your fitness and/or weight loss goal? ✅What is your goal for calorie and protein intake for the day? ✅Based on what your day looks like, how often can you or want to eat? ✅For each meal, what protein do you want to build your meal around? ✅After the protein is decided, which carbohydrates and fats do you want to round out your meal? ✅Are there fruit and vegetables in your meal? Don’t forget, your meal plan isn’t set in stone! Use the data you’ve gotten from experimenting with what works best for you to help create and implement your flexible meal plan.

In this episode, I interview one of our shining RockStar members, Colleen Goddard. I loved getting to know Colleen through a written interview questionnaire but getting to actually talk with her really moved me.  It's an incredible thing to see when a Rockstar member makes the REAL mind shift, makes health & fitness  a priority and nothing is gonna stop her! Like many of us, Colleen has been on every type of diet and exercise plan out there and never really found the results she was wanting until starting Rock that Fitness. Spoiler alert… eating more protein, getting consistent with tracking, and lifting heavy stuff made the biggest difference! Colleen also contributes her success to the Rock that Fitness Facebook community where she learned more about herself while engaging and connecting with other members. I give Colleen credit for taking action and holding herself accountable! Thank you, Colleen! YOU ROCK!

She is one of the sweetest, kindest, and happiest human beings I’ve ever known. The biggest take away from Grandma Blizzard’s life is that we don’t need to make our health journey complicated.

In this episode, Abby talk about several mistakes & pitfalls that people fall into when kicking off their new weight loss and fitness programs!

In this episode, I had the privilege of interviewing one of Rock That Fitness’s OG members, Trish Singh! She is a very proud mom, grandma, and x-ray tech who has found the right combination for her consisting of nutrition, fitness, and mindset. Trish started her health journey with WW over 20 years ago when she was trying to lose weight due to high blood pressure concerns. With WW and Orange Theory, she was able to lose weight and maintain that weight loss, however, Trish felt that there were a couple pieces missing in her health journey. With the tools she has learned from Rock That Fitness, Trish has been able to lose even more fat, increase her muscle mass, and reduce her osteoporosis risk!

In this episode, I talk about how true change and sustainability come from little, simple, and seemingly insignificant daily actions that when put together, have a compounding effect on your health journey. This compounding effect is even more impactful when we are present and mindful during our decision making processes.

In this episode, I had the privilege of interviewing Dr. Rose from Rose Cosmetic Surgery Center. He is the surgeon who performed my excess skin removal and breast augmentation back in August 2022.  Dr. Rose has decades of experience and is not only one of the best surgeons here in Texas, but also in the country!  Dr. Rose started his career performing reconstructive surgeries for adults and children all over the world who had cleft palettes and injuries from accidents and burns. For the past ten years, Dr. Rose and his team have specialized in performing cosmetic surgeries including breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, tummy tucks, and face lifts.  Not only do cosmetic surgeries help with the physical changes from life, these surgeries can also be seen as a “reconstruction for the soul”.

There are many ways to maintain that satisfaction but I am going to focus on the 9 tips that I felt helped me the most.

In this episode, my co-coach from Rock That Fitness, Abby, and I talk about how rapid fat loss diets and weight loss programs may be keeping you stuck and frustrated in your own weight loss journey. We hope to shed some light on the red flags to look out for when choosing a health plan that in reality keeps you stuck in diet culture, making it harder to achieve your goals. I have had the experience of being trapped in diet culture myself so I am passionate about giving you the right information so you can make wise decisions when it comes to your health and fitness. Abby and I get vulnerable about our pasts highlighting how emotionally and mentally difficult it is to navigate the unhealthy diet culture loops and how we were able to change our mindset in order to use more sustainable practices that got us to where we are today.
