Here are the 3 key things that led to my transformation:
1️⃣ Adherence
It doesn’t matter how good a workout or nutrition plan is. If you can’t stick to it for the longhaul, it doesn’t matter.
I work out 4 days per week, every week. I make my workouts enjoyable so I don’t “have to” work out. I “get to” work out.
2️⃣ Nutrition
I know what’s in my food (Calories, protein, carbs, etc). This allows me to easily eat out with my family without feeling “guilty” or “off track”.
I understand that there are no “good” or “bad” foods. A single food is just one puzzle piece within an overall diet. There should not be guilt associated with a food choice.
3️⃣ Accountability
Having a coach is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. In 2016, I hired a bodybuilding coach to help me get the fat off so I could step on stage. Even now, after 11 years of weightlifting experience, I have a powerlifting coach.
I’m accountable to someone else so if I’m ever going through a slump or finding myself going through the motions, my coach can help me get back on track.
