When it comes to fitness results, consistency is key!
Find a middle ground. It is a satisfying way of eating and working out that you can happily maintain throughout the week. No on and offs.
The middle ground allows for better overall consistency—and when it comes to results, consistency is key!
Find your middle ground during the week by adding things to your foods, or preparing recipes that ensure that you enjoy your food. From a caloric standpoint, you are far better off adding a couple 100 calories to your day with flavor, as opposed to torturing yourself with horrible tasting food, and then consuming thousands of extra calories on Saturday and Sunday.
Don’t be afraid to:
- Add some bacon bits to your salad
- Put creamer in your coffee
- Eat a donut
- Add cheese on your eggs
When you don’t feel restricted and enjoy the way you eat, you don’t feel a need to “take a break” or “cheat” on the weekends.
Each person’s middle ground may look a little different depending on their goals, but find what works best for you.
The same holds true for your workouts.
Just because you don’t have time to do your entire workout that day doesn’t mean that you won’t benefit from doing something. If you are well-rested and properly fueled, any movement is better than no movement.
Some days you’ll have enough time to complete your full workout. Some days you’ll have the opportunity to just go with the flow and see what you can get done in 30 minutes. And some days, the only movement you get might be a 10-minute walk.
It’s important to remember that the 10-minute walk is better than no walk.
You will get results based on what you do the overwhelming majority of the time. Being able to enjoy the process is absolutely crucial when it comes to sustainability.
Learn to navigate the middle ground and remember that some progress is better than none!
