2 Questions To Ask Yourself to Succeed with Fat loss and Workouts?

Hi Team

Where has the hot weather gone? It seems to be Autumn in a snap! With the rain and darker mornings already rolling in I remembered that we lived in England!

I was thinking about what makes someone succeed and achieve their goals when in comes to their health and weight goals, and yes, eat healthy and workout and be in a calorie deficit... blah... blah... blah...

But the issues when starting a new way of eating and/or a new workout is sometimes a healthy meal is sometimes hard to make and a new workout is hard and scary or just not enjoyable.

So how do you make sure that you get through those two issues?

Is it repeatable? and is it do-able?

Are your healthy meals repeatable (do they taste good) ? and do-able (easy to make)?

Are your workouts repeatable (do you enjoy them?) and do-able (something you can do and get better at?)

Food

Do you have 4 or 5 healthy meals you know how to make that you enjoy eating? Now, that's not 4 or 5 meals ever. That is 4 or 5 healthy breakfasts? 4 or 5 healthy lunches? 4 or 5 healthy dinners?

The reason you need 12 -15 meals in your catalogue is that healthly meals become repeatable and do-able.

80% of people eat the same breakfasts 365 days of the year. Imagine if you had 3 or 4 healthy breakfasts you can use in 365 days. Variety is the spice of life!

Get things down and get good at making them taste good! Then you are half way to your goals already!

I highly recommend this book for simple quick meals.

Workouts

Your workouts should be something you an do and look get through no matter what. Now, that does not mean that you need to love every single one or that you need to go all out intensely with them all the time.

They need to something that sometimes you just switch off and do without needing that motivation or feeling pumped up to do!

They need to something that is repeatable and do-able.

Not something that kills you so you can't show up next week or in the next couple of days to workout again.

Make them repeatable by working out with a friend or going to a class.

Make sure your workouts include pushing something, pulling something, hinging, squatting with a bit of ab work from time to time.

Make sure you have the right coach showing you the moves so you don't end up with injuries so you can do it again and repeat the moves to burn that fat and tone the muscle!

So, if you are starting a healthy journey or stopped one recently... ask yourself,

Was it repeatable? Was it do-able?

Could you show up? Eat well? Be consistent? and Do you best at the workout?

What are your workouts?

I am going into month two of a three month workout programme I have designed and I am really enjoying it, Hey! its repeatable and do-able.

3 days a week of lifting weights

Optional 2 day of kettlebell workouts if wanted and 2 days rest a week,

Throw in a couple of hours of football a week and I'm on to a winner!

I have even received compliments about my physique which is always nice!

It has made me think about starting up doing one to one coaching or small group coaching for weight work. I have time for 3 or 4 people I think.

The deal will be 12 sessions in a month, so a commitment of 3 x 40 minute sessions a week for a month to get that muscle growing, toning and fat burning.

Do not forget that if being part of team is more your thing, come on down to the Saturday Morning Bootcamp! Tell your friends and family! returning 6th September!
