Within the first month, this would be what a check in would look like from her..
meal 1 – Ezekial bread/egg whites
Meal 2 – protein powder after workout
Meal 3- protein bar
Meal 4 – salad
Meal 5 – chicken/veggies/dark choc for dessert
She has three kids – I did not want to make massive changes for her. I did not want to overwhelm her with a whole new workout plans plus a crazy high maintenance eating plan – I simply wanted her to cut out the chicken nuggets and make clean eating recipes for dinner rather than snacking so much on the kids food she wasn’t hungry at the end of the day.
Around Halloween she emailed me that she was getting into the kids’ candy and I told her to put her protein bars by the candy so when she felt tempted, to grab a protein bar (because who are we kidding.. those are usually like dessert anyway) and eat that so she wouldn’t feel like she was missing out on anything, and it would satiate and satisfy her. And it worked!
After we nailed down her nutrition to something realistic and healthy, we honed in on her workout plans. I had to poke and prod a few times to get her to leave her comfort zone of just doing Body Pump classes and cardio but now she is lifting and following my strength training workout plans on her own twice a week, which is perfectly do-able for her, and enough to help her make changes in her body.
And that is how I train my clients. That is how #Commit2Fit works. It’s small, manageable changes that will help you improve your physique and your health without stressing you out.
It has been an honor and a privilege for me to be able to help my friend improve her life and that is truly how I feel about all of my clients. I love what I do and it shows in my work. (Not to toot my own horn too much, but in 2018 one of my goals is to spend more time feeling confident and by golly, that is what I am gonna do!)
