Back to Basics

It seems a lot of people have struggled with their weight over the summer so with kids going back to school and routine coming back this week in class I did a back to basics talk.

After a few months on a diet or healthy eating journey we all start to get a little complacent and just need a little recap on what we did those first few weeks.

First of all you have to remind yourself of your original goal, we weren’t happy with ourselves and wanted to lose a bit weight.
Then how did you feel those first few weeks on a plan? Most of my members come back and say how much they enjoyed the freedom of being able to eat the food they love and still lose weight.

So we come up with a plan, a meal plan, wether it’s for the week or for a few days if you have a plan it will save you time and quite often money as you know what you’re going to eat so you write up a shopping list and buy the things you need to make those meals.
Saves you the time of thinking of what you should be buying as you’re browsing around the supermarket and money by only putting in your trolley what you need.

Remind yourself to keep your protein intake up and also your water consumption. So try and get those 8 glasses of water per day in too!
Also try and get those extra steps in, even if it’s walking to the next bus stop or getting off the bus a stop sooner. Taking the washing upstairs rather than putting it on the bottom of the stairs until the next time you go up!

10,000 steps per day may sound daunting to some so if it does why not aim for an extra 250 steps per hour? I’m sure you could all do this by just pottering around the house? They all mount up at the end of a day!
Let’s get some accountability and motivation going, we have an awesome members only Facebook group who support each other every step of the way.

We’re all on the same journey and I know you can all do this!
