Here are some things I hear a lot:
>> I want to lose fat AND gain muscle
>> I want to lose weight AND get super strong
>> I want to PR my marathon time AND I want get my first pull-up
>> I want to be lean AND improve my hormones
And, wow, I want these things for you so badly.
But, have you considered that you might be holding yourself back by not focusing on one goal at a time? That you’ve been stuck in the same cycle for years because you’ve been putting one foot in but leaving the other out? That you have yet to see your highest potential because you haven’t been putting your *all* into it?
Wanna build muscle and get super strong? Stop dieting! Get off the Peloton 5 days a week and say no to every half marathon that your bestie pitches.
Wanna get faster and fitter overall? Stop eating like a bird. Stop neglecting you are an athlete already and you need to fuel like one.
Wanna work on your hormones to support fertility? Stop being afraid to eat more. Reconcile that your old habits that served you in the past, no longer serve you.
Wanna lose body fat, get leaner, see more definition? Stop eating like you disrespect yourself. Give yourself the gift of consistently showing up for yourself – and patience. Break up with quick fix extreme measures to do so.
It’s not that you can’t have ALL of these things – you absolutely can. The people who have seen their goals become a reality are the ones who get laser focused. They tune out the noise and refuse other options and opinions.
Let Ron Swanson get in your head this goal setting szn. He’s totally right on this one.
never half-ass two things, whole-ass one thing
