The Fun & Sustainable Lifestyle: Realistic Goals for a Healthy Lifestyle YOUR Way!

by Marci Barker / January 7th, 2019

It's 2019!! Are you ready to talk about goals and resolutions?

Because in the FAST community, we don't just talk about goals.

You won't find us making fluffy, no intent to accomplish resolutions.

Here, we make realistic goals and set actionable steps to accomplish our goals in FUN, SUSTAINABLE way!

There's a difference between goals and resolutions - there's a difference between writing down unrealistic "resolutions" and actually sitting down to set and ATTAIN goals.

Ladies: DON'T get caught up in making goals and resolutions that don't even make sense for you!

If you're ready to start setting and ACHIEVING realistic goals, you need to be part of FAST!

FAST stands for "Fun & Sustainable Team." When you're part of our team, you'll learn how to create a FUN & SUSTAINABLE healthy lifestyle that actually makes sense for you and your life.

The Fun & Sustainable lifestyle is one that gives you CONTROL! Our mission statement says it pretty clearly:

The Fun & Sustainable Mission Statement:

I strive for progression and realize perfection isn't the goal.
I have fun by taking control of my choices and treating myself to what I truly need.
I invest the time, money, and energy to reach my goals because I am worth it!
I cultivate and own my growth every day.
I share my struggles to conquer them and ask for help when needed.
I show up even when I don't want to because I know it will benefit others.
I am a FAST member and an important part of the Fun & Sustainable Team!

It's easier to accomplish your goals when you have a team standing behind you.

I dive a little deeper into what the Fun & Sustainable lifestyle looks like in the video below.

If any one of the statements in our mission statement make you nod your head yes or think "I want that to be me," know it can be! YOU can take control of your own health and fitness. YOU can be part of FAST. I talk more about our mission statement in the video below. Let 2019 be the year that you become the very best person you can become!

Ep. #125 Feedback Includes The Art Of Saying ...

In this episode, I talked about the sixth step of the Accountability Code—feedback, which is all about using past experiences to make better choices moving forward. I shared a personal story from my upcoming book Becoming Boss Minded called The Art of Saying No, where I learned the hard way that helping too much can lead to burnout. I explained how saying yes too often, even with good intentions, can hurt your mental health and relationships. This story helped me see how important it is to set boundaries and focus on what really matters.

In this episode, I talked about the fifth step of the accountability code, commitment—and how it’s different from just taking action or implementing ideas. Implementing is when you practice or try something, like brainstorming or writing, but commitment is when you actually finish the task and can prove it’s done. I shared how one of my clients struggled with staying consistent on social media after a group challenge ended, and we realized that making a plan isn’t enough, you have to commit to following through.

Ep. #123 Implementing Means Progress Over Per...

In this episode, I talked about implementing, the fourth step of the Accountability Code. It comes after reflection, humility, and planning. Implementing means taking action on what matters to you, even if it's not perfect. Many people make plans but never follow through, so I reminded everyone to just start, even if it’s messy.

Ep. #122 Planning Can Happen On Your Own Time...

In this episode, I talked about planning as the third step in the Accountability Code, right after reflection and humility. Planning isn’t just writing stuff down, it’s about creating a meaningful roadmap that actually helps you succeed. I shared how putting “tennis friends” on my vision board led to real friendships just by showing up and being open.

CHALLENGE TESTIMONIALS

Jessica

With just a 2 pound weight difference after 4 weeks, Jessica was estatic about her progress because look at the difference! She learned how to eat better, release stress, and gain confidence in not just her looks but her abilities too!

Erin

Having babies takes a toll on our bodies that’s for sure. With the Body Sculpting Challenge, you’ll learn how to properly engage your core with EVERY SINGLE EXERCISE you do. You’ll have a tighter, more toned core after just 4 weeks.

Jessica W.

Jessica surprised our whole community with her quick transformation. Due to health limitations she wasn’t able to exercise so she solely focused on her nutrition and guess what? She allowed herself to be the boss! She learned just how powerful our food is!

G. A.

A busy homeschooling mom of 6 exercised smarter, not harder (or longer or even everyday either). She followed my direction to exercise with a plan so her entire body could benefit. No more staring at a busy gym and wondering what to do!

Stephanie

Would you believe her "2017" picture was at 4 years post-partum with her 2nd baby and her “2019” picture was just 9 months post-partum with her 3rd baby? Steph is the perfect example of what a Fun and Sustainable lifestyle looks like. Learn the habit hacks that will work for you over and over no matter what life throws at you.

ME (Marci)

My own transformation has been mostly mental. Sadly I tried so many diets out there only to find that my mind was not in the right place so the physical results never really mattered. Once I learned how to really connect my mind and body I realized that living a fun and sustainable lifestyle trumps what you look like. You can love yourself NO MATTER WHAT!

Jessica

Each person holds their weight differently but no matter what you’ve been born with you can find a way to make your nutrition and movement work for you!

Liz

Nothing makes a transformation look more amazing than confidence! Abs don’t hurt but the coolest part about Liz’s story is that she’s able to keep up with her busy lifestyle as a teacher and mother. Not only does she handle it well she knows without a doubt how dang good she looks!
