⭐️ The Saturday Debrief ⭐️
What an incredible week!
We welcomed new U Fitters to the family as we continue to help more people.
I’m so proud of our team workout this week, it was epic.
Inside U Fit, we had some seriously impressive success:
⭐️ Raj Pancholi pulling his stats down, just in time before Christmas, as we agreed!
⭐️ Vijay Kanani - Has come in 5 times this week and bossed his sessions - getting them in before Christmas.
⭐️ Natasha losing weight and feeling her jeans get looser in her first 30 days.
⭐️ Sally Simpson and Daz Simpson smashing their workouts on Thursday. Sally doing 25 squats in one go when she only believed she could do one more after 15.
⭐️ Falguni Dhanak has continuing to get stronger in her strength sessions, recovering from her injury and keep doing so with a brilliant positive attitude.
⭐️ Leylah Rumi on holiday doing online Mets, keeping up her sessions.
⭐️ Priti Navekar Gohil completed 100 workouts today! Whoohoo
⭐️ Kate Goodacre reducing blood pressure meds from 20mg to 2.5 through healthy choice
⭐️ Nipa Rahman has begun cooking again so she can take control more of her food and bring food to work instead of eating the canteen food
⭐️ Sunny Jutla passed her final flellowship exams! Like a boss!
⭐️ Hattel Chauhan continuing to push in her sessions despite her gas tank being short due to contracting covid and having little sleep because of her child.
⭐️ Sunny Chauhan, Sameet Hindocha, Vishal Nathwani, Neel Somani and Hem, performing over 900 reps in a workout!
These wins are just the most recent ones I've seen at the studio; I could have picked from a dozen, so keep your eyes pealed each week.
Now time for 'Saturday Wisdom'
I’ve said it before, but I can’t emphasise enough, especially at
this time of year the power of the word ‘no’.
I don’t mean being rude, or shutting people down or anything like that. ‘No’ can be done in a friendly, polite, easy way – in fact you don’t even need to say the word out loud, just saying it to yourself, in your own head, is enough.
Many of you are aiming to Maintain across the Christmas period. Having the ability to say ‘no’, within your own mind, is the first step to avoiding a level of over-indulgence you later regret.
Regrets are the worst. They feel horrible. Nobody likes feeling guilty, like they’ve let themselves or their own ambitions and goals down. It feels rubbish, and then the risk is we carry those rubbish feelings with us. You know what happens then, because we’ve all done it. We go even further down that road. Have more of what we don’t really want. More of what we don’t really need. Then feel even more guilty the day after.
When we eat what we need, not what we want in the moment, we always feel better for it in the end, and often straight away: we feel more in control of ourselves, more in charge of our life, stronger, healthier, happier. Proud.
And the key to this is starting with that ‘no’ in our head. That ‘no’ to being led down a path we don’t want to go down. Taken off track to please others or ‘do the traditional thing’.
So my advice is this: eat what is right for you over the coming two weeks.
But say that internal ‘no’ when you know you’re being led down
a path you don’t want to go down. Eat what you need and can enjoy. By ‘enjoy’ I mean: both in the moment, and afterwards, without guilt.
Don’t be a slave to tradition or what other people want for you.
Be you.
Do you.
And be proud of it, both in the moment, and after.
(A bit of planning helps, and you can balance things out – you already know how to do that, between food and your exercise.)
So have an amazing Christmas – appreciate all you have to be grateful for, have fun, enjoy yourself – and I’ll see you on the
other side 😊
Have a great evening Sam Hanney
