Hello everyone and
welcome back to another episode
of the Toned but Tired podcast.
Today I want to share how youcan reset on your fitness
journey, because at the time ofrecording it is July, it is
summer, it is post-4th of Julyand I think things are slow.
You're relaxing, maybe the kidsmay be home.
(00:24):
Slow, you're relaxing, maybethe kids maybe home, and while
it's nice to have that fun, Ithink it can also be a great
time to kind of revisit ourfitness journeys and tighten
things up a little bit and notnecessarily go balls to the wall
, but to prime ourselves.
So when the kids go back toschool, when we're kind of in
our work routine come end ofsummer, things are going to flow
so much easier for you and I'mactually doing this with myself
(00:48):
I want you to zoom out and seethe bigger picture of what I've
been doing.
Hopefully that will make youfeel better about yourself,
because I will say that me, oneof my saving graces is I always
love hearing people'sbackstories, because on the
outside it can seem likesomeone's life is perfect.
And I'm not's backstories,because on the outside it can
seem like someone's life isperfect.
I'm not saying my life looksperfect on the outside, but I'm
(01:11):
uh, I don't like shareeverything at all.
Um, I mainly share on socialmedia, like some you know,
highlight reels of things thatI'm out doing, if I remember to
take a nice picture, and also Ishare to educate and motivate
and build my business.
So it's not necessarily a superaccurate reflection of my day
(01:32):
to day life, right.
But you know, from the outsideyou may just see like oh,
fitness, she works out, she'shealthy, she travels, and like I
do those things.
But you also don't see theother, like 23 and a half hours
of my day, every single day,right.
So before I get into some tipsof resetting, I wanted to share
(01:54):
again where I'm coming from.
So I feel like if I zoom outand look back, gosh, probably
we'll say 2023, 2023, so it iscurrently 2025.
So we'll say two years ago, uh,that was where everything like
shit hit the fan, essentially,um, and if you've been around,
you've probably known about that.
(02:14):
But it just feels so weirdbecause this was probably one of
the longest seasons where Icouldn't push how I wanted to of
my life ever the fact that Iwas diagnosed with Hashimoto's
and my autoimmune disorder.
I was trying to figure out mybirth control, because that
wasn't working either.
To help regulate my hormones,because without anything my
(02:38):
hormones are just wacky andthere's nothing that can get it
under control.
I had a groin injury come outof nowhere.
I was just training, didn'tfeel anything.
Just one day, a couple hoursafter training, it started to
bring me immense pain and prettymuch I could do nothing but
walking and yoga.
But I'm really grateful forthat time period in my life
because it made me the person Iam now.
(03:00):
It really enforced myphilosophy of what I preach.
I probably wouldn't have a yogaor a Pilates certification had I
not gone through what I did andI wouldn't have such a
well-rounded approach of like,yes, strength training, yes,
pilates, yes, yoga, yes, runningAll these things.
And I can tell you it was sodisheartening for somebody who
(03:22):
loved the gym and working out tonot be able to do what they
wanted to do for months andmonths and months.
I remember I kept trying.
I would keep trying to walkmore or I'd be like, okay, today
I'm going to do a couplemachine exercises and I'm like,
nope, still in pain can't dothat.
And I would.
Just, I would keep trying.
And it was a long road andeventually I was able to kind of
(03:43):
get to a point where I wasessentially starting over.
I went into the gym.
I definitely had lost musclemass.
I was lighter, let me tell youthat I had lost probably like
five pounds or so, five to tenpounds, depending.
Some of that was inflammationand water loss from getting
medicated with Hashimoto's andsome of that was just straight
up muscle loss.
I felt leaner but I was likeflat, if I don't know, if you
(04:06):
know what that means, but I waslike flat and um, then I started
slowly doing machine work,slowly building up and like fast
forward.
To now, you know, I'd saythat's probably been about a
year, year and a half ofconsistency, because I would try
it for a little bit and then,you know, my body would hate me.
I have gotten to a point where Ican uh, slowly, I'm introducing
(04:30):
runs.
Runs can still be a little bithigh stress on my body.
Um, I'm doing, you know, yoga,I'm teaching Pilates.
I'm doing, you know yoga, I'mteaching Pilates.
I'm strength training at leasttwo days out of the week, on top
of teaching classes and thingslike that and having a busy work
schedule, which is a big dealfor me and this is where it kind
of relates for you is you'reprobably someone else who is
(04:53):
very busy.
Um, stress is probably high,whether you're aware of it or
not.
Um, you have a lot of stuffgoing on and recovery is
probably high, whether you'reaware of it or not.
You just have a lot of stuffgoing on and recovery is
probably kind of crappy.
You're probably not getting thebest sleep, you're probably not
drinking enough water, you'reprobably not getting the right
nutrients to support the levelof things that you're doing.
So in general, you kind of feelcrappy and maybe you're not
(05:14):
approaching your goal.
And something that I have foundin this journey of resetting if
you will, rebuilding, finding mynew me now that I don't
necessarily have those thingsholding me back anymore is that
the reason a lot of people failis because they don't have the
right systems in place tosupport their lifestyles and the
(05:40):
way they think.
And I will tell you, I workwith a lot of neurodivergent
individuals.
I suspect that I have some sortof neurodivergence myself.
I consider myself a highlysensitive person and I also want
to say from a general realm youknow, you don't have to flat
out be diagnosed the diagnosisprocess for that kind of stuff
(06:02):
is messy.
There's really no benefit to itto getting diagnosed as an
adult, unless you're somebodythat maybe like it's a spectrum,
so somebody that needs, likecan't live on their own and
maybe needs that extra supportand extra resources.
But if you're somebody who'sjust like man, like it feels
like I have ADHD sometimes, ormaybe you have trouble with
(06:23):
social aspects or like executivedysfunction If you don't know
the kind of things I'm talkingabout, I would definitely
recommend researching some ofthat stuff Because that's
especially in females.
Neurodivergence presents itselfdifferently in females, but I
almost like to say, if you'reexperiencing those things itself
differently in females, but Ialmost like to say, if you're
experiencing those things, usesome of the tools that
neurodivergent people use andyou may find it helpful.
(06:45):
Right, and I found this in thefitness space with myself and
with other people, because Icould tell you, me and other
people have felt like we havebeen running, like playing life
on hard mode and it's like,especially if you're a
millennial, you were kind oftold, if you just work hard
(07:06):
enough, if you just work hardenough, you will eventually get
there.
You can accomplish anything.
You want to be an astronaut?
You want to be the presidentjust keep working harder and you
will get there.
Well, let me tell you, as amillennial, where the goal post
has constantly shifted, whetherit's inflation, a pandemic, the
recession um, this is true, Ifeel like with our day-to-day
(07:29):
lives as well.
Um, it's not always workingabout working harder.
Sometimes you have to worksmarter, and what I'm learning,
what a lot of other people arelearning, is my brain and body,
especially with the autoimmunestuff too, does not respond
necessarily to the standardadvice that you're going to find
out there.
So a lot of the times, you haveto kind of do your own research
(07:50):
, pick different things inregards to eating and working
out, and make it your own and beokay with that.
I used to think that I was likean outcast if I did not follow
that stuff.
Like I thought I was broken.
It's like, oh well, they sayyou work out this way and you
should lose weight, or youshould eat this and you'll lose
weight, or you'll feel better,and it's not working for me,
(08:15):
right, and I was like somethingmust be wrong with me and that's
not what it is.
Again, it's a different plan,and that's kind of the main
thing that I've really beenshifting towards in my coaching.
As my journey has developed andthe people I work with, I'm
just learning more and more andI'm always trying to better my
coaching.
So that's the big thing thatI've shifted towards is figuring
(08:37):
out workouts that work for youand your schedule, thinking
about how your brain worksaround food.
That's a big one, you know.
Maybe you get sick of foodreally easily and you need to
switch things up and you can'thave the same thing meal prep
five days in a row.
Maybe you need those backupsafe foods.
I have chicken nuggets, applegate, gluten-free, healthy
(08:59):
chicken nuggets and annie's macand cheese at all times.
That is my safe meal.
That is why I am disgusted witheverything I meal prepped and I
just need to eat somethingrelatively healthy but also
satisfying and is not going toblow my calories.
I have a backup meal and I dothat and I'll have options
throughout the week and again,this is going to be different
for everybody, but you know youget to learn yourself and
(09:22):
establish a plan that works foryou, and that's really what I've
been doing is I've been kind ofplaying with different things
over time and going, oh, thisisn't working.
This works really well, let meuse this and that's how I've
been building my routine.
And, yes, it sucks, because Iwish I could say that you could
just do it once and be done, butwe're an ever-changing thing.
The only thing that is constantis change, right.
(09:44):
So you're getting older.
Circumstances change, right, asyou become an adult with more
responsibilities, you have kids,kids.
Kids move out of the house.
Uh, you know different phasesin your 20s, your 30s, your 40s,
your 50s, menopause there'sgonna be things that are
changing.
So your routine needs to change,right, and that kind of sounds
(10:06):
again a little scary and likeannoying, right, but I can
guarantee you, and I promise youthat if you put in that little
bit of effort to optimize yourroutine to fit your needs, that
your life experience will be 100times better.
You're going to be healthier,you're going to be able to enjoy
your life, you're going to havemore energy, it's going to be
easier to maintain a body thatyou want and it sounds like, oh
(10:29):
my god, I have to put in effort.
But this little bit of effortup front is worth it versus the
consequences of not doinganything at all.
Right, the hospital bills, therandom, you know, pre-diabetes
popping up, or high bloodpressure, or the bad doctor's
visit, and you know you're soexhausted and maybe you get
burned out from work and youknow you have a mental health,
(10:50):
mental health crisis, likethere's so many things that
could happen from not takingcare of yourself.
So it's like it's going to behard either way.
Choose your heart now.
With that being said, I know Iwent on a little bit of a
tangent there.
If you want to join me, Idecided that this July I am
going to be doing a four-weekreset, four-week summer reset.
(11:17):
It's going to have workouts,it's going to be gym home, and
express Express is minimalequipment 20 minutes or less.
So you can choose your track.
You can mix and match.
I'm going to have nutrition aswell.
There is the ability to trackcalories and macros if that's
something you want to do.
But I'm also going to do foreverybody.
It is a meal photo, food diarythread.
(11:40):
So once a day, you're going tobe able to snap a picture of one
of your meals, drop it in thechat or send it privately to me
and I will actually critiqueyour meal, say what's good, what
needs cleaned up, based off ofyour goals, right?
So that's going to be reallygreat.
I'm also going to have somecheck-ins and accountability
there.
You're going to get theaccountability of the group.
There's going to be threelittle check-in points for me to
(12:02):
encourage you, support you, youto ask any questions, us to
kind of work through some things, and that's it, and it's going
to be effective.
It's a nice reset, it'seffective and it's only $49.
It's honestly worth so muchmore than that.
But I figured just, given thetime of year and the vibe, I
wanted to make this accessibleto everyone, something to get
(12:27):
you going.
So if you're interested in that, feel free to reach out to me.
You can email me.
You can go on my Instagram attina wyland fit.
You can find me on facebooktina wyland, tina wyland fitness
.
Send me a message.
I'd be happy to set you up withthat.
We will be starting soon, um.
So if you're interested,definitely reach out.
All right, um, but I hope thatthis kind of helps with your
(12:50):
mindset.
Again, I just wanted to giveyou some insight on what I was
going through and what I've beenseeing is that sometimes, if
you're feeling stuck, if you'refeeling stuck, it might just be
that you need a differentroutine, a different system that
you haven't found yet, and Imight be that person to give you
that routine.
Like I said, I wish I couldgive you more concrete advice,
(13:12):
but truly everyone is soindividualized, so it comes down
to figuring out what works bestfor you.
Thank you for tuning in and Iwill catch you in the next one.
