Something to remember about losing weight, or mastering a new lift or sport or class or starting anything new fitness releated.
I often write that it needs to be sustainable and allow for breaks and blips and not be super prescriptive.
Too often though we can take that message to mean that we shouldn’t feel any discomfort.
The fact is if you need to consume less or move more it is, at first at least, going to be a little uncomfortable. You will feel hunger or achey or a little deprived or tired.
If you stop as soon as you hit this point because, YOLO, you will never create the changes required to change your body and fitness.
When we say it’s about balance don’t forget balance has two sides to it and as well as giving yourself freedom within your diet and exercise you also need to be able to exercise restraint and spend some time in discomfort too.
