It's been near 10 years since my first powerlifting meet in Japan. Can't wait to get back to it this year with an even bigger total. Already repping my 3rd attempt from way back then :))

One of my all-time favorite posts from from - We often imagine change or “progress” as a linear graph... 🚀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-⠀⠀⠀⠀
💯 Every day, we get better and better, until eventually, we’re perfect, fit, godlike creatures who’ve Got Everything Together.⠀⠀⠀⠀
-⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔑 In reality, change and progress look more like this one.⠀⠀⠀⠀
-⠀⠀⠀⠀
🎢 We wholeheartedly embrace better food choices for a bit, then eat macaroni and cheese for a week, then ace our new habits for a while, and then a business trip throws us off for a minute, then we’re back on the horse…⠀⠀⠀⠀
-⠀⠀⠀⠀
⚡️ We try something new and move forward, or upward, bubbling with excitement and energy.⠀⠀⠀⠀
-⠀⠀⠀⠀
👎🏿 Then we cycle. Life throws us a situation that tests our new approach. Progress pauses, or dips downward, or goes backward.⠀⠀⠀⠀
-⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤢 Up, down, forward, back.⠀⠀⠀⠀
-⠀⠀⠀⠀
☝🏼 There are a number of perfectly good reasons for this:⠀⠀⠀⠀
-⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤔 Maybe we need to go back to re-open or revisit something — to reconsider an idea that didn’t grab us right away, or address a question we avoided answering when first asked.⠀⠀⠀⠀
-⠀⠀⠀⠀
😴 Maybe we need downtime — to think, reflect, regroup, reboot, or incubate something new.⠀⠀⠀⠀
-⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤭 Maybe we need to regress briefly — to dip into our old selves or old habits and remember why we are building new ones, like visiting an ex to remember why you left them.⠀⠀⠀⠀
-⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔁 Maybe we need to repeat something — to practice, drill, and/or test our skills under different conditions.⠀⠀⠀⠀
-⠀⠀⠀⠀
🏗 Or maybe it’s that we simply don’t have the skills yet to reach the next level of our progression and, like everything else in life, we need to accept that doing things badly is a necessary precursor to doing them well.⠀⠀⠀⠀
-⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉 Regardless of the reason, weight loss progress can stop or even go the opposite direction. And that usually happens on the tail end of a stretch where we’ve put our exercise regimen on hold, or dived into a week-long food orgy.⠀

So, my first post as a certified is of an amazing bacon cheeseburger I had at a while back in Toronto. Highly recommend going there; the fries were great, too. Wait, what?
🍔
Bacon cheeseburgers - regardless of their greasy, cheesy, bacony deliciousness - will never be a staple of a healthy diet. But, does that mean they are off limits forever? Only to be admired from across the table?
🍔
Of course there are reasons to avoid these beef-filled beauties which are not nutrition related: climate change, ethical treatment of animals, etc. From a strictly nutritional viewpoint, however, how can I eat these things without being a hypocrite?
🍔
Sure, I could plan out a lifetime of eating clean (whatever ‘clean’ means), but why would I want to? Why would anyone want to severely restrict or deprive themselves of the things they love to eat? And even if I did try to live a life deprived of bacon, cheese and burger, I would 100% fail and binge on them sooner or later. I’m human...its just the way it is.
🍔
So I make room for them for them with a set of skills and habits that ensure I can pop into the next awesome burger joint guilt free. 🍔
There’s nothing magical about these skills and habits. Anyone can learn them. Get in touch with me to find out how.
