We discuss a variety of topics including:

Building long term attainable training goals 

Recognizing weaknesses to focus training 

Recovery is not the same for everyone

Setting realistic health goals that hold you accountable 

Breaking down your goals into smaller attainable steps

Cheat meals are unnecessary and can do more harm than good 

Allow yourself to be reasonable with your favorite foods that may not "fit" the traditional weightloss diet 

It's not always going to be easy when striving for a new goal 

Consistency if the key to success
