In this episode, you'll hear:

• Examples of realistic boundaries to help you get and stay on track


• What it means when your dog is dragging their butt on the ground


• Why knowing your true “why” is so important


• What Chris learned about himself through bodybuilding

By mid-February, around the time the Super Bowl hits, about 1 out of every 2 people has dropped off their New Year's resolutions. While we are sad football is over, we are happy to have all the time back that we were dedicating to fantasy teams, weekly games, and recovering from celebrations and commiserations to refocus on the promises we made to ourselves. The social aspect of football is a beautiful thing, but oftentimes the social pressure or cheat days of beer and burgers can catch up with us fast.

So, it’s time for a gut check, literally. If you are part of the 50% of people who have fallen off the wagon, today is the best time to restart! Rethink your SMART goal, revisit your why, and think about how it will feel when you keep your promises. Chris gives us some great tips for how to identify your true “why” as he opens up about his false “why” that led him to bodybuilding, what he learned about himself along the way, and how he was able to find his real “why” in the end.

Also in this episode, Mathew tells us an important lesson he learned from his Chihuahua. Millie and the guys read and respond to some listener comments, and of course we end off with a game of name that tune!

Thank you for listening!
