Coffee Time with Tealady - Are you thinking big picture?
Hi Buddies,
You’re working out… so why isn’t the scale moving?
You’ve been showing up. You’ve been sweating. You’ve been good.
So… where are the results?
Here’s the truth:
It’s not the workout — it’s everything around it.
Your body changes because of the whole picture, not just the hour you spend in the gym. And the sneaky culprits stealing your results?
Your food isn’t matching your goals. Exercise burns calories, but it doesn’t erase a weekend free-for-all.
You’re not moving enough outside workouts. If you sit all day, you undo a lot of the good.
You’re not getting enough protein. Without it, your body can’t build the lean muscle that boosts your burn.
You’re skimping on sleep. Tired bodies cling to fat and crave junk.
The fix?
Keep showing up for workouts, yes — but also:
Aim for 8,000–10,000 steps a day. Think of it as movement insurance for your gym time.
Get 20–30g of protein in each meal. Your muscles need building blocks. Feed them.
Prioritize 7+ hours of sleep. Recovery isn’t lazy — it’s essential.
Do these consistently, and your workouts will finally start paying off.
Because it’s not about working harder… it’s about working smarter.
