EP25: Quick Fixes and Shortcuts

One You Podcast

Lately, I have been so extremely sick and tired of all the:

• “Eat these three foods and lose all this weight”,
• “Eo this workout and you will be in the best shape of your life”
• “This one food is why you can't lose weight”

First of all, quick fixes and shortcuts are usually not going to work at all, and if they do, they will most likely only last for a little while. Yes, there you go, that is the real, raw, honest, and simple truth.
There is just one simple way to get into the shape of your life and to stay there - YOU HAVE TO DO THE WORK.
Yes, it is that simple, no one else will be able to do it for you. I wish I could because I’m extremely crazy and love putting in the work, so if I could I would do it for you as well. That just means that I get to work out and move more which is one thing I really love to do.
If my body could handle it and I got paid to do it, I would train 24/7, besides the hours I sleep.
So the best and easiest way to get in shape is to do the work, in order to do the work you need to start somewhere. You need to start with one little daily action that will turn into a good habit and will become a part of your routine, when you slowly add more and more things you will create a healthier and healthier lifestyle.
DO NOT try to add in all the things at the same time, start with one thing.
I would do it in the following order

1. Daily walks
2. Drink enough water
3. Clean up your diet 80/20 rule
4. Lift weights, even if it’s 1 day per week, you need to make sure you keep the muscle mass you have! (Women break it down more easily than men)
5. Add vegetables to each meal
6. Get enough protein in each day
7. Find some stress free time each day
8. Sleep at least 7 hours each night

These are things I want you to do to get started. Don’t rush it, add them in as you feel comfortable doing so. The most important thing here is to create a healthy lifestyle that is sustainable for YOU! So don’t compare your days to someone else's. You need to figure out what your goal is and what’s important to you and stick to that.
Your goal can change over time but the longer you stick to it the more successful you will be.
