10 things I learned the hard way….
1️⃣ Don’t miss out of 95% of your life just to weigh 5% less.
Go on vacation, get dinner with friends, eat the pizza, have the dessert. If you’re scared to do anything with the fear of losing results, is it really living? The best part… You can still do all of this AND get results.
2️⃣ Doing random workouts is a really great way to never reach your goal.
A program is your roadmap to results. If you’re on a roadtrip, but taking random turns everywhere… you’ll never reach your destination.
3️⃣ Consistency is less sexy than perfection, but it gets better results.
If you have to do everything perfectly, you’ll never do anything. And you’ll never get anywhere in the long-run
4️⃣ Being tied to a scale number is a special kind of hell.
The scale is one data point, but there’s a lot it can’t tell you… How you look, how you feel, how you perform… which are ultimately the things you’re after.
5️⃣ Stop being so obsessed with the “daily grind”
If you’re not having any fun you’re likely fueled by guilt and shame. Figuring out what’s driving you is the CORE of your transformation.
6️⃣ Your mental health is worth more than a few pounds.
Don’t focus so much on the physical at the expense of your mental well-being. It’s not a dream body if it’s a nightmare to maintain.
7️⃣ If you sacrifice sleep and recovery, you’re also sacrificing results.
Everything revolves around this - muscle gain, fat loss, and actually feeling GOOD.
8️⃣ Sometimes less is MORE.
Doing more — sets, reps, dieting, workouts, exercise, WHATEVER — doesn’t always mean MORE results. The body only has the capacity to handle so much.
9️⃣ The best diet is the one you can follow forever.
“I tried XYZ diet and it worked.. I lost 20 pounds.” Sis it didn’t work if you gained it all back once you stopped because it wasn’t sustainable.
🔟 Some of us are going to have to work harder for what we want.
Everyone has their own challenges and obstacles. But comparing yourself to other peoples journey gets you no where. The more you think about others, the less you think about yourself.
