Stop right there before making an action plan ✋🏼🛑
Read these first, thank me later 👉🏼
I know it’s tempting to go all-in on a strict diet
But, have you ever stopped to check whether that has EVER actually worked for you, for longer than 2 weeks?
First, get a good meal structure that actually works for you in place. You don’t need to make it super restrictive to make it BETTER
Look ahead at the week and PLAN accordingly
Moooooooove
We all bang on about it for a reason
If you know your routine doesn’t make it easy to get your steps up, plan in your walks and stick to them (yes, even if it rains ☔️)
Yep, I’d rather eat cheesy chips too, but if you’re not purposefully adding a high protein food to every meal, you’re going to find it MUCH harder to meet your protein needs
Not to mention how much of a difference it will make to your hunger levels and likely adherence to your food plan
Aiming for 25g+ in every meal is a good first-instance if you have no idea where to start
Physical activity is a must in my opinion (but the research says so too, and I am right 🤭)
Life is busy, so whatever exercise looks like for you, plan it in advance and make it a non-negotiable appointment
This one is the key to it all 🔐
If you plan to be “100%”, what do you think is going to happen as soon as something doesn’t go to plan? A social event, a flat tyre, a bad day, an empty yoghurt bowl?
Are you most likely to meet yourself at the best possible solution, and crack on with everything else you CAN do?
Or are you likely to sack it all off? If it’s not 100%, it’s not worth it, right?
Wrong ❌
BE FLEXIBLE. If a weekend social is in the calendar, plan to account for it, not to ignore it until you ‘cave’ 🤝
There IS a time and place for locking in completely, but if you’re stuck in a weekly cycle of ‘on it, off it’ …
Start with what’s realistic and go from there 🫡🩷
And obviously, if you need a hand, you know where I am 📩✨
