One of the reasons people tend to fail, or at the very least delay achieving their goals, is because they beat themselves up for not sticking to the plan they’ve decided to follow.

I have a couple thoughts on this that have helped clients prevent it from happening, or allow them to bounce back and stay on plan after deviating from it.

The first one being: don’t be overly restrictive. Do not create a plan that isn’t sustainable for you. This is a recipe for falling off track and getting discouraged with yourself!

Instead, create a program you can realistically follow. It will require change and sacrifice, but not so much so that you feel overwhelmed by it.

Secondly, if you were taking a test, and got the first question wrong, would you decide to quit and just not take the rest of the test? I would hope not.

That’s what it’s like quitting because of one mistake. Instead, get back on track, and keep pushing forward. The only way you fail is if you quit and stop trying.

I hope this was helpful, as it’s something I’ve seen a lot of people struggle with!

TRACK YOUR CALORIES! If you have a goal pertaining to changing your weight, knowing what you’re consuming will make it immensely easier to get to your goal and make adjustments when needed.

In 3 months I put on 18lbs, by focusing on implementing my 3 key pillars of fitness. One of which is daily activity and exercise (not exactly conducive to gaining weight, but definitely good for overall health), and another is tracking your calories.

Your ability to lose or gain will be determined by the amount of calories you consume and burn. If you have an idea of how much you need to eat to achieve those goals, it will take most of the guesswork out of the equation, and get you working toward the body you’ve always wanted.

If you’re busy in your work day, having a way to track how much you eat while you’re on the go and getting things done will make progress come more easily to you.

A lot of people say tracking calories is obsessive. Do you track your finances? If you’re smart, you definitely do, or at least keep a good idea of what your finances look like. Is that obsessive? No, it’s just a tool to ensure you’re on the right track.

I’ll be posting about the 3rd thing I focus on tomorrow, and it’s definitely my personal favorite! Keep a look out for that, and feel free to message me for more info on calorie tracking.

There’s nothing wrong with doing a “fad” diet if it happens to work sustainably for you.

That being said, for most people they are a bit too restrictive to remain on for an extended period of time.

This leads to weight loss, weight gain, weight loss, weight gain, and so on.

In most cases, you’re better off finding a personalized and individualized approach that you will be able to work with for a long time.

This may take some trial and error, but it will definitely help you to be happier and keep your progress for years to come.
