As most of you know I'm big on controlling your environment and focussing on behaviours to make changes, but sometimes these changes have limitations, sure you can set your alarm 30 minutes earlier, of course you can pack your gym bag the night before so it's ready to grab on your way out the door and yes pre-planning your meals and preparing them as much as possible on the weekend so they're ready to go through the week will be crucial in determining whether or not you can be successful in achieving the outcomes you want. But sometimes that's just not enough.

Today we have Blaine's story, of course that's not his real name, but he is a real person and there are aspects to his story that everyone can relate to and we're going to especially zoom in on how sleep has effected him in a very tangible way, so here we go.

On Wednesday our last rapid fire question was a bit of a doozie and one that I feel warrants more of an in-depth look, it's not a fitness question per say, it's a human interaction question that basically boils down to this, when you make changes in your life you become a different person and when your friends and family see this there are a few different responses they could have:

1. Being legitimately concerned that what you're doing may be damaging to yourself, think eating disorders and exercise addiction
2. Pretending to be concerned, but actually trying to bring you down, because they're not willing to grow or change, think friends that sabotage or enable negative behaviours
