2. USE ALL THE RESOURCES AVAILABLE: Over the years, we have amassed a large amount of resources on nutrition including recipes, videos, recorded seminars, and articles. It is easy to forget that you have all of that at your fingertips when looking for information on something or when you have a question. Be sure to set aside time to look at least one of those resources once a week.

3. MONITOR YOUR PROGRESS: This one always gets everyone’s knickers in a bunch. We think progress and our brain goes to measurements, which isn’t always everyone’s favorite thing to do. But that’s just one way to measure progress. Depending on your goal, there are several ways it can be done. For example, if you are working on getting your eating under control, just tracking how many cheat meals you have a week would be monitoring your progress. And it could be as simple as having a Post it with tally marks on it. One week you have 10 cheat meals, the next week your goal could be 8. Other ways are weekly pictures to compare, food journaling, and tracking your weights (see #4). Lastly, appreciate how far you have come in terms of exercise capacity, energy increases, being able to get out of bed with some pep in your step, etc. It’s not just about numbers. Here’s a simple task: at the end of everyday ask yourself “did I get 1% better today?”

 ​​4. TRACK YOUR WEIGHTS: If you are in the group classes, you know we have been harping on this lately and the reason is it’s important to make sure you are increasing weights in order to continue putting on lean muscle and getting stronger. Your body gets used to moving a certain amount of weight around and if you never move up, you won’t see any change in your body. And the only way to KNOW to move up is to know what you did previously. And don’t worry, if you are a one on one client, the weights are being tracked and increased for you!​​

5. DECIDER TO COMMIT TO CHANGE NOW! Not tomorrow. Not later. Not next Monday. It’s common for everyone to be asking for more things (supplements, meal plans, exercises, etc.). The reality is you know what to do. You’re most likely in our program for accountability and not wanting to create your own workouts which is great. However, many of you have not decided to change. I mean really dig down deep and ask yourself are you committed to eating the things you know you should, are you committed to adding maybe just 1 thing a week, are you committed to eating whole foods only in balanced portions 90% of the time? If you’re not, then you haven’t decided. And by balanced portions I mean 2-4 large servings of veggies, 1-4 of servings of protein, 1-3 servings of healthy fats, and 1-3 servings of starchy carbohydrates. Not breads, sodas, and boxed foods.

That's it. 5 Things to take action on!
