So a few weeks back
My daughter, Ottilie, did her first ‘roll over…roll over’
Now, I’d love to say it it took her 1 attempt…
But it didn’t
I was literally cheering her on for 20 minutes
Showing her to put her arm in the air
To help her move her big legs (don’t their legs grow quickly!!)
But…
Eventually…
She did it!
And it reminds me of something a new member on my Body Transformation Programme recently mentioned to me:
‘Diet’s don’t work for me. I can’t do it’
And I get it
You’ve failed so many times
That you just blame DIETS
Or
Think that YOU must be different.
But here’s the thing:
Are you setting yourself up for failure by saying
‘I can’t do it’
Because – in my experience – its not whether
‘you can’ or ‘you can’t’
But whether
‘you will’ or ‘you won’t’
Now, of course, most diets out there are great for a few weeks
But don’t understand that you’re busy, you love your cheesecake and vino, and think you’ve got hours to spend in a gym..
And – in reality – none of this is sustainable
After all…
Who cares if you drop 10lbs in 4 weeks
if it’s back on again in 8 weeks because you were fed up of having to eat separately from your family
And skip the afternoon tea at Polly’s?
Now, it’s not going to be easy
and there will be SOME ‘stress’
Which brings me to a recent study
Where they found that if you perceive stress as ‘bad’
As a ‘threat’
Then you are more likely to see negative reactions – both mentally and physically
Whereas if you see ‘stress’ as a CHALLENGE
A chance to PROGRESS
You are more likely to see positive RESPONSES – both mentally and physically
And what I’m leading up to is this:
What if you could sought out stress
and take control of it?
Ditch that ‘dieting’ mentality
of ‘off-on’
‘Good food’ – ‘bad food’
And have the ABILITY to
RESPOND
to a missed session
Or
a little binge on that ice cream
or bottle of vino
Without having to start again on Monday?
After all…
“Today is the tomorrow you were worried about yesterday”
^^^ As my daughter found out with ability to ‘roll over’
And if it’s accountability and SIMPLICITY you’re after
So you can build your nutritional strategy that suits YOU
And your family
So you can level up your energy, do more with the kids (without being out of breath) and fit back into your favourite clothes for Summer (and surprise the mums at the school gates with your new look…)
My 28-Day Fit Mum Body Transformation Challenge MIGHT just be for you
