It threw you off completely
Responsibilities starting piling on and your fitness took a backseat
Now your paying the price, feeling slow, lethargic, you just don’t wanna do anything anymore
You don’t feel like yourself anymore
You know it’s in you, but some reason that beats just ain’t coming out
You keep making excuses and you know it’s the type of shit your old coach would’ve called you out on
So here’s 5 STEPS to get back to feeling like yourself, even if life comes up
Have a set goal. Without a goal your just floating without certainty. Without certainty you make excuses… set that target (lose 10-20lbs in 90 days)
Have a routine amount of days you can REALISTICALLY commit to the gym. 2,3,4,5 days a week whatever works. Walk 5k steps a day to STAY in motion, so you don’t start slipping
Set specific times your going to the gym on your training days. So you have the least likely chance of coming up and DO NOT MISS, that is your time to execute.
Eat 3 meals a day. Work off your routine, get CONSISTENT. Make sure these meals have Whole Foods. A protein source, carb source, and some veggies on the side
Stop falling victim to your circumstances…stop blaming your job, the world. You fucked up, this is your fault. Now it’s your fault to start fixing up your situation.Now implement these steps IMMEDIATELY to start losing your next 10-20lbs
You absolutely fucking got this
You’ve been committed in the past, there is no reason why you can’t do this
You’ll feel more confident with your shirt off
More comfortable in your own skin
And know that you’ve stopped lying to yourself about starting because you actually fucking did it
