Damage Control (Don’t do it)

“Damage control.”

Don’t do it.

The day after overdoing it, it is very tempting to cut way way back on food, or go suuuuuuuuuper hard with exercise to try to offset what came in yesterday.

Doing damage control like this usually backfires and by cutting way back, we end up ravenous, and we set ourselves up to cave hard later on, and once again…overdo it.

Same goes with going way too hard with exercise, if we do one super hard workout that our body isn’t conditioned for and end up needing the next 5-6 days to recover (thus missing 2-3 easier routine workouts), that great idea suddenly wasn’t so great, right?

A much better game plan would be to hop right back into your routine today.

Drink some extra water.
Walk some extra steps.
If you aren’t as hungry as normal, maybe eat a tad lighter but not anything crazy off your norm.

Remind yourself that you are the product of the routine and lifestyle you follow 95% of the time, the 5% ‘other’ basically gets washed away in the averages over time.

Own all the normal days you can so you don’t have to stress about the super rare special days. 😊

Going into my 9th year in the health and fitness industry, I’ve now worked with over 3,000 clients around the world. I’ve lost close to 100lbs myself through getting my lifestyle and habits into a good place, and I’ve gone from having panic attacks thinking about exercise when I was 250lbs+ to now loving every aspect of fitness. I have helped thousands of individuals transform themselves with the same proven elements. From folks losing 200lbs+ and taking their lives back, to high level athletes needing just that extra fine tuning to qualify for competitions, and everything in between. I’ve taken feedback and ‘wish lists’ collected over years of working with these clients and truly have now crafted a program that has the absolute critical components necessary to experience ever-lasting change, in order to help you accomplish the body and mindset you’ve always deserved. Any one or two of our pillars work, and can produce change, but the magic recipe is all five of them working concurrently. With that recipe, we simply cannot and will not fail helping you reclaim the version of you that you know deserves to be brought to light. Do not be surprised if the journey you are set to depart on transcends into something far greater. It never fails. Give yourself the chance to feel it!
