The Secret to Getting Lean Without Tracking Calories
Calorie counting works, but it’s difficult to keep going. When you’re busy, on the go or eating out, it becomes impossible and very quickly you give it up.
But you can lose weight without calorie counting and this is how!
Head over to my YouTube Channel for more.
These are MY non negotiables.
You might not be entirely in the know, but if you saw my last post, you can see I've not had the best of weeks.
Things are looking better each day but there is still a long way to go.
But without sounding like an Instagram fitness guru, despite everything going on, I've stuck to my non negotiables.
In my case, that's not protein at every meal or 3x resistance training sessions a week.
It's much simpler than that.
I've prioritised my sleep.
I've achieved 10k steps a day.
I've kept up with my water intake.
I've not "formally" exercised and I've eaten a lot of crap.
It's not perfect, but good enough is good enough.
I also have my non negotiables in business.
Social media isn't one I'm afraid, so I've gone a little quiet there.
But I'm still pushing my clients - THIS always comes first.
This week Kevin has lost 0.6kg despite spending 2 nights in hotels.
Mark is down 0.9kg in a week which included a trip to the football and his son's birthday.
And Richard is down 0.4kg and his week consisted of a conference, an overnight trip and entertaining a potential new client.
And they've all been very flexible with me and sent plenty of supportive messages, which I hugely appreciate.
I think I have the best clients in the world...
This last week has probably been the toughest week of my life.
It's reminded me of two things.
1) Look after yourself. If not for you, for those around you. It'll give you strength when you need it.
2) Never take anyone for granted.
Things are getting better but still a long road.
To those in the know, I appreciate the messages and flexibility.
Have a great week.

Steve approached me struggling to get on top of his health.
He had a stressful business to run, which included lots of hours at the desk and even international travel.
He could get to the end of the day and have clocked up less than 1,000 steps and he’d round it off with something from Just Eat.
He told himself the usual things, “It’s been a long busy day”, “I’ve got nothing in”, “I’ve worked hard today, I deserve it”.
He needed to turn it around before it caught up with him.
Although Steve needed an overhaul, it wouldn’t work. We needed to slowly change things week by week.
We started with a dietary change and introduced a low step count.
The following week we worked on something else and got the step count a little higher.
Steve got to the point where he was exercising 3 times a week, reaching 10,000 steps a day and actually preparing his own food.
The weight came down and the energy and performance levels shot up.
On an international trip, Steve was requesting a side of vegetables to compliment his meals and even earned himself the nickname from the staff of Vegetable Man!
It’s a long road for Steve, but we put together something he could maintain despite how busy things got.
If you want to develop your routine, without complicated plans, calorie counting or sucking the fun out of life, book in a call now and we can see if we’re a fit.
If you’ve got this far, do it straight away, as you’ll no doubt forget later on.

This weekend our family of 3 suddenly became a family of 5.
An additional one year old and a nine year old have joined us for a couple of weeks.
Most of you know, but some might not, that me and my Mrs are foster carers.
We offer "support care" for when other carers need it.
For the next two week, their carer is off to build houses in Africa, so we're doing our bit.
I had some best laid plans for the weekend, but I think I'd over reached.
I didn't tick all the boxes, not even close.
But today is Monday - a new week.
I'm not going to beat myself up, on reflection, I did what I could considering.
And that's key.
I always strive to do what I say I'll do, but sometimes life gets in the way and that's ok.
The most important thing is to make sure that life ACTUALLY got in the way and you're not using it as an excuse.
Onwards!
