This weekend I have had some school friends over from Ireland and we spend Friday at the Races in Liverpool and then Saturday watching football, horse racing and having some beers.
I don’t drink too much at the weekend to be honest with you and I don’t really drink beer any more these days as it make me bloated.
Anyway after my weekend of beers I’m feeling pretty bloated, tired and sorry for myself.
So why am I telling you this? After all I’m supposed to be a fitness guy who never drinks and is always eating buy generic xenical healthy.
2 reasons
- I’m just as human as you are and prone to temptation as much as the next person. I’m not one of these fitness industry robot personal trainers with a clip board who doesn’t understand what it’s like to succumb sometimes and who lives on broccoli and chicken.
- I want to make myself accountable to you guys.
I will be making a commitment to eating healthy and losing some weight myself. I will be dropping a size in the next month and I will even take my own before and after pictures to show you guys. On top of that I will be making a commitment to exercise at least 4 times a week over the next month
Making yourself accountable to someone like friends, family or even a coach like me can hugely increase your chances of sticking to something like a healthy eating plan.
If you knew you had to send your coach your food diary on a Sunday night do you think it would help you stick to things?
Sure it would.
This is just one of the tactics I use to get my clients moving forwards and get results.
Accountability is a powerful tool and is great for motivation.
How can you use it to keep you eating healthier?
