Many of our clients come to us to lose weight, or more to the point - lose bodyfat.
But then if that 5, 10, 15 (or 50, 60…whatever) doesn’t come off in a month, discouragement sets in.
When that happens, I usually ask them “How long did it take to get you where you're at now?”
Most of them don’t even answer, because they get the point.
It was a steady, consistent pattern of overeating and/or lack of training that has left you overweight, tired, and frustrated with your health, ability to move well, and appearance.
On the flip side, it is a steady, consistent pattern of supportive nutrition and regular efficient training that is going to get you the body you’ve always wanted. A body that looks, moves, and makes you feel healthy.
Put in a simpler, blunter way - “You didn’t get overfat in a month, it’s going to take you more than a month to lose that fat.”
Don’t get me wrong, IF you are willing to make the changes necessary, you can and will lose bodyfat.
But you won’t lose it overnight.
As trainers, Dean and I live the lifestyle we teach.
But it didn’t happen for us overnight either, or even all at once. Daily exercise, preparing meals ahead of time, cutting out excess carbs and junk food. Restorative session such as stretching and massage. These are all part of our lifestyle now, but it took work to get there.
And we are still learning, and will be for the rest of our lives.
Mastery takes a great amount of effort and continual refinement.
And when you find someone who has mastered that skill, the reason that it looks easy was because of the thousands of hours practicing the skill.
But how does that relate to your fitness and weight loss goals?
Perfectly!
You will be doing yourself a HUGE favor by fixing this thought in your mind right from the get go -
“A healthy lifestyle is a lifelong journey, not a short term fix.”
You see, many of us want everything to happen NOW!
Fast food, quick oil changes, express line checkouts. The list goes on and on…
We just don’t like to wait for anything.
