Have you ever been here before? Something sparked you to set a new fitness goal that you were REALLY excited about.
Maybe you:
- stepped on the scale after the holidays
- had a big event coming up (reunion, wedding, vacation, etc.)
- were unhappy with the results from your latest doctor’s visit
- watched an inspiring movie … or were wowed by someone else’s transformation
- or even had some kind of wake-up call
So you committed to clean up your eating, start exercising, and/or make some BIG CHANGES when it comes to your self-care.
And then you go at it … HARD!
And things are going great.
But then something unexpected pops on your schedule …. or you eat a little “off your plan” … or you skip a workout ….
And that one miss turns into another, and another, and another.
And before you know it, you’re completely off track and upset at yourself.
A few weeks or months (or even years) go by, until the next time you find yourself back on that very same rollercoaster ride.
It can be a really painful and frustrating cycle to get stuck in.
But, I do have some really good news.
It makes perfect sense that you kept falling off track … because it’s almost impossible for ANYONE to keep up that level of intensity and still live a normal life!
Don’t get me wrong: Having a new health goal is FANTASTIC … and healthy!
BUT it’s even BETTER to find a way to work on your goals that won’t drain as much time and energy from your everyday life.
In a way that sets you up for success, rather than sure failure.
PLUS, there’s a bonus: when you find a happy middle ground, you won’t find yourself on that confidence-sucking rollercoaster ride anymore.
That’s because you’ll actually be able to maintain all the results you’ve earned. (YES!!)
Finding this sustainable middle ground is key to your success … and something we actively work on with our clients. It IS possible to achieve amazing results without disrupting your entire routine, and it’s what we specialize in.
