You know when you have weeks where nothing goes wrong but it feels like you didn’t do much right either? That’s been this week.
I literally ended the week feeling like, well I need to kick myself up the arse if I want to achieve my goals for 2023.
But actually it’s wasn’t a bad week. I did eat a bit ad hoc but I was also pretty much in calorie range.
I missed a few days training but did still do 4 gym sessions, 3 runs and 2 classes. I average 20,000 steps a day.
Sometimes you need to reflective on the facts of what you did in a week and then compare that reality to what your head is telling you.
Of course sometimes we think we’ve done great when actually we’re not where we think we are. This is most common with our diet, where we forget the coffees and sauces and so on that add calories to our diet as we wonder how we’ve not lost weight when we’ve been so good.
But equally, sometimes we can just be a bit hard on ourselves and focus on what we haven’t done instead of what we have.
Monday is the start of a fresh week, but no matter what your intentions, forget about being perfect and aim to get a few key things done with anything extra being a bonus. You’re much more likely to achieve this and much less likely to decide to give up come Wednesday this way.
