Itās amazing how quickly we can lose our routine⦠and how quickly our mind convinces us weāve lost all our progress too.
Thatās exactly where Iāve been these past two weeks.
No training.
No structured nutrition.
Way fewer daily steps.
And plenty of self-doubt.
It didnāt take long before I stood in front of the mirror and started picking myself apart.
āIāve probably lost muscle.ā
āIāve probably gained body fat.ā
āIāve undone all my hard work.ā
But when I stepped back and looked at the facts instead of my feelingsā¦
I realised my body hadnāt changed nearly as much as my mind thought it had.
Most of what I was seeing was:
⢠More fluid.
⢠Less muscle fullness.
⢠Lower daily movement.
⢠A disrupted routine.
Not months of lost progress.
Thatās the reminder I needed⦠and maybe itās the reminder you need too.
Because two weeks didnāt build your bodyā¦
ā¦and they wonāt undo it either.
So this week Iām not trying to āmake up for lost time.ā
Iām simply getting back to the habits that make me feel my best.
ā¤ļø One meal.
šļø One workout.
š¶ One walk.
One day at a time.
After more than 35 years of training and almost 18 years of coaching, youād think Iād know betterā¦
But even I need this reminder sometimes.
Life doesnāt expect perfection, and neither should we.
If life has thrown you off track recently, donāt wait until Monday.
Just begin. š¤
Have you ever convinced yourself youād undone all your progress after a week or two off?
Iād love to know Iām not the only one. š¤
