If you feel yourself backsliding from where you want to be, you can start by asking yourself “How do I want to feel?” – Brandi Roberts
Brandi was a top fitness competitor in her 20’s, where she competed on physique, poise, and gymnastic skill. After exchanging the role of competitor with the role of doting mother, she realized one day that she had completely lost her sense of self and of motivation to do the things she loved.
Since that time, she has turned her life around, written four books in the last year, including The Backsliders Guide to Weight Loss
In this episode, you will learn:
-How to turn your life around if you aren’t where you want to be
-What was the one word Brandi wrote on a Post-it note abover her bed that changed her life while she slept
-How to harness the power of a decision (Hint: it becomes easier to have a totally clean diet once you decide to stand in a bikini in front of 1000 people!)
-How to be brutally honest with yourself about your impact on others
-How to use a ten-day challenge to add or take away one thing from your life
-How to get your own hopes and dreams under control before helping others

Derek,
Thank you so much for having me on your podcast.
I so appreciate what you are doing with The Art of Adventure!
Hey Derek, would you say it is a good idea to combine your home office with your gym?
Hi Pieter, I’m not exactly sure what you mean, but I have definitely used my studio as a workout space. However, I don’t think you can beat getting outside and moving in the sunshine!
Okay, thanks man, yeah I was talking about if your time is a bit limited and so on. I don’t really have the time to go outside for an hour at the moment. I try to get five minutes out of every hour to work out while I’m doing office work.
Have you considered a standing desk or a treadmill desk?
Yeah maybe I should, I didn’t even know that existed actually! Lol, just Googled it and yes there it was, a treadmill desk. Or maybe I should just do some heavy type cardio five minutes out of the hour.
