FASTer Way with Sarah Haney

I have reached 400 followers! Thank you for your continued support. I could not have done it without each of you. 🙏🤗🎉

“But Sarah, you’ve always been thin!”
Skinny DOES NOT = healthy! We were eating out 3-4 times a week (fast food – usually Taco Bell – where are my Taco Bell lovers 🙋‍♀️), going through fertility treatment (never thought that would happen to me – I just thought I would get pregnant when we started trying – not the case) and the only exercise I would do was running 2-3 miles everyday.
Now, I had known about the FASTer Way to Fat Loss since the program was created. I worked with the CEO, , as a receptionist many moons ago, and followed her journey to forming this AMAZING program, but I didn't jump in right away. I thought fasting sounded daunting, and let's be honest, I wasn't ready to give up my Taco Bell.
Fast forward to August 2018. I had been through 2-IVF pregnancies (and PTL, I have 2 healthy boys out of it), but my hormones were wrecked, my energy was gone, my face looked like a teenager from all the acne. I was just living out the day to day motions. 
I decided to give the FASTer Way a try…..
And do you know what happened?
First thing I noticed was my complexion clearing up, then the energy came, the stomach discomfort was minimal, and I was overall feeling so much better. 
I started lifting weights and doing minimal cardio. I did get a lot of hatred (even from family) as I started my journey, because they said I was so thin and I didn't need a diet. What they didn't know, was that I was very unhealthy on the inside, despite what the outside showed, AND they didn't know the FWTFL was a diet…..it's a lifestyle change! 
 
Girlfriend, I want YOU to experience what I have experienced through living the FASTer Way. I want you to have the energy to play with your kiddos after a long day. I want you to feel confident and want to show up in those photos at the beach with your kids, so they can cherish those memories for years to come. I want you to have the strength to pick those kiddos up when they are hurt and need you.

Goal for the week….
MEMORIES OVER MACROS
It is Spring Break week and we have friends and family in town visiting this week, so I plan to enjoy every bit of what the week brings!
That’s the beauty of living the FASTer Way. I know there are things I can do to move the needle forward on my goals, while still enjoying my the foods I love.
What’s your goal this week?

Y’all, it has been a week (or a month, or a year), and this mama is ready to get back on track.
This week I want to be intentional with:
🔥 mindset

Why your chosen accountability partner may not be the right choice…

Accountability is important. In fact, you have a 95% chance of reaching your goals if you’ve identified a specific person as an accountability partner. If that’s the case, you’re probably asking why you haven’t reached your goals, even with an accountability partner. Well, there’s actually a good reason. You chose the wrong person. 😮

Instead of choosing your bestie (or someone struggling in the same areas you are) as an accountability partner, look for the following:

1️⃣ Someone who possesses strengths in the areas you’re weak. 
2️⃣ Someone whom you admire. Make sure you believe in her values and her lifestyle. Choose someone who’s already done what you’re trying to do. 💯
3️⃣ Someone who isn’t afraid to ruffle your feathers - someone who actually holds you accountable and doesn’t give in when you suggest, “Mexican for lunch again today?” 😉

When you choose the right person to hold you accountable, your odds of success increase drastically! 💯

Joining an accountability group already gives you around a 65% better chance of success! If you’re looking for someone who possesses the qualities above, you’re looking at her…😉 DM me or drop an emoji below and let’s chat!

I’ve never shared this before…
I started my journey in August 2018. I didn't have weight to lose, but I had a lot of health to gain.
 
I have naturally always been “skinny”, but when I got married, I was VERY unhealthy. We were eating out 3-4 times a week (fast food – usually Taco Bell – where are my Taco Bell lovers 🙋‍♀️), going through fertility treatment (never thought that would happen to me – I just thought I would get pregnant when we started trying – not the case) and the only exercise I would do was running 2-3 miles everyday.
 
Now, I had known about the since the program was born. I worked with the CEO, , as a receptionist many moons ago, and followed her journey to forming this AMAZING program, but I didn't jump in right away. I thought fasting sounded daunting, and let's be honest, I wasn't ready to give up my Taco Bell.

#2023

The one question we’re all asking ourselves this week…

We’ve found ourselves right in the middle of Christmas and the new year - the week where none of us know what to do or what day it is. I’m convinced this week was given to us so someone could have a big laugh. 😉

We already know this week is tricky to navigate. We toy around with getting back on track or waiting until after the new year. The answer can be “both”. It doesn’t have to be either/or, all or nothing, or black or white. 💯 That’s the type of thinking that’ll get us in trouble if we don’t live up to our extreme expectations. It’s okay to ease back in this week, both physically and mentally! Consider where you’ve been struggling the most and start there! 👌🏼 Small consistent steps in the right direction will get you to your goals - every time! 🙌🏼

❓Have you become lax with tracking?
✅ Track at least your protein this week.

❓Have you been drinking too much eggnog and hot chocolate?
✅ Commit to removing sugar-filled drinks and replacing them with flavored or sparkling water.

❓Does working out feel like a thing of the past?
✅ Take a walk a few days this week or commit to a couple of strength training workouts this week.

Instead of asking, “Should I get back on track or wait until after the new year?”, ask yourself, “What can I do today that will move the needle forward?” ➡️

I’m giving you full permission to ease back in the rest of this week, but next week is a different story! My clients and I are going all in for the health of it! 😉 Want to join us as we set ourselves up to slay 2023?! Visit the link in my bio and grab your spot today!

Merry Christmas to all of our friends and family! ❤️ The Haney’s

If you didn’t believe it when you heard it the first time, this is proof that the scale is a LIAR!

16 lbs heavier in the photo on the right, but somehow I am thinner.

That is because muscle weighs more than fat. Fat takes up more area than muscle but is less dense. Swipe left to see an example of fat vs muscle.

If you are ready to ditch the scale, and focus on becoming healthy for you AND for your family, then join me for my January 2nd new years challenge.

Registration is open and you can get started now on your new years goals by accessing the workouts and meal guides in our amazing FASTer Way app!

Do you know what the most important macronutrient is? (Or do you even know what a macro is?!)
Macronutrients are just a big fancy word for the breakdown of protein, fats and carbs that are in the foods we eat.
If you are a client of mine, you have heard me say over and over again….if you can only hit ☝🏼 macro goal, that should be protein.
BUT….protein seems to be the macro that is the most challenging to hit for my clients.
If you are traveling, I wanted to provide you with some protein heavy options at a few if my favorite places. Swipe to check them out!

Cheers to the start of another week….hopefully a healthy one!
And for those of you that are procrastinators…you have 6 days to finish shopping and wrapping! 🎄
But let’s not forget the real reason for the season….it’s Jesus’ birthday week! 🥳

Finally…..

A Sunday where we’re all healthy and not traveling! Felt good to be sitting IN church this morning! 🙏🏼
