"I need a meal plan"

No you absolutely fu**ing don't!!

What you need to do is have an honest look at where you are and what you need to change. If you're reading this, I'm quite convinced that you're stuck in some sort of loop that's keeping you stuck! You keep making bad choices when it really matters.

And a meal plan certainly won't change that.

But here's what will.. another person's perspective. I don't scream down the phone at clients when they make a mistake, that's just not how I roll. However, I will always retrace steps with the client to see how we can learn from those experiences. Why they made certain choices? Reflecting on what they might do differently when they confront similar environments or scenarios in the future.

A check in important but that only opens the door to the bigger questions that we need to ask.

And I will ask them.

A few weeks ago, a client of mine who trains a lot got injured. He went from very active to being on the couch all day. I reduced his calories accordingly to account for the the reduced activity but he gained 3kg in 2 weeks. This was an important part of his journey.

I noticed it and said it to him. At first he tried to brush it under the rug. So I dug deeper as I had a fair idea what was happening. He was boredom eating. Sitting at home all day, feeling sorry for himself after getting injured and nothing to keep him occupied. He was consuming a full packet of donuts a day.

When I asked him why he didn't tell until I flagged it with him, he said he was ashamed. I didn't give out to him. I thanked him for his honesty and this opened the door for a deeper conversation.

We them practiced more mindful eating while injured. He was still allowed to eat what he wanted and that included donuts but he wasn't eating a packet a day. And he wasn't mindlessly binging out of pure boredom.

This was a huge step for him and he's back on track again now with fat loss.

There were 2 key moments in all of this.
1. I wouldn't let him brush the obvious under the rug and pretend it was fine.
2. He opened up despite feeling

Summer is over. The holidays are finished. The kids are back to school. Work is back in full swing.

Routine is back and this is your opportunity to get back with it. There are still more than 100 days left in 2026. We're not even into the final quarter of the year yet. That's a LOT of time to change your physique, get stronger, lose body fat and rebuild the habits that might have slipped over the summer.

So instead of writing off the rest of the year and telling yourself “I'll start in January”, what if you arrived into Christmas already feeling like a completely different person? That's exactly why I'm opening up my Finish 2026 Strong intake.
And for this intake, I'm only opening 3 spaces for busy adults aged 25-45.

Start your 12-week coaching programme with me now and I'll coach you right through until Christmas! 15 weeks of coaching for the price of 12.

This will allow you more time to get habits on track, more accountability and more support through a time of year when it's very easy to start slipping back into old habits.

Here's what's included:

- It's about getting your structure back.
- Training consistently.
- Getting your nutrition under control.
- Building better habits.
- Having accountability when motivation dips.
- And finally stopping the cycle of constantly having to “start again”.

Because imagine how different January could feel if you didn't need another New Year's resolution... you'd already be doing it.

If you're ready to finish 2026 leaner, stronger, fitter and feeling far better about yourself, applications are now open for 3 new clients.

Hit the link in my bio.
Coaching Application.
Complete the health questionnaire.
I'll personally review your application and get back to you with the next steps.

DM me for more information!

You literally can’t mess this up unless you decide to stop.

One bad meal doesn’t ruin your progress.
One bad day doesn’t ruin your progress.
One missed session doesn’t ruin your progress.
One weekend where things didn’t go to plan doesn’t ruin your progress.

What causes the real damage is convincing yourself that because you slipped up, you may as well keep going.

Think about it:
If you had 20 really good days and 1 bad day, would you seriously call that failure? That would be incredible consistency. Fat loss was never supposed to be about being perfect. It’s about stacking enough good decisions together over a long enough period of time that they outweigh the poorer ones.

Some days you’ll absolutely nail it.
Other days you won’t. The skill you need to develop isn’t perfection, it’s learning how to get back to your normal habits quickly without guilt, punishment or trying to “undo” what happened.

No starving yourself the next day or ridiculous amounts of cardio. No “I’ll start again Monday" nonsense. Just get back to doing what you were doing. You haven’t ruined anything.

Are you getting enough vitamin N in your diet?

No it's not a supplement.

You can have anything you want but you probably can’t have EVERYTHING you want. If you have a goal that genuinely matters to you, there are going to be times when you need to say no.

No to the takeaway because you already had one this week. No to another night out because you’ve got training in the morning. No to picking at food just because it’s sitting in front of you. No to the extra drinks because you know where they usually lead.

That doesn’t mean becoming antisocial, never eating out or living some ridiculously restrictive lifestyle. It means understanding that achieving something you’ve never achieved before might require you to make different decisions than you’ve made before.

And sometimes the decision is simply… NO.
You don’t need to say it all the time but if you’re currently saying YES to everything while wondering why you’re not making progress, you might be lacking a little Vitamin N 💊

Your goals require choices. And not every choice is going to be the one you want to make in that moment.

If there's a time where you'll really get to see exactly where your relationship with food is, it's when you're on holidays.

It's easy to say you've a good relationship with food when you've prepped all your meals and you're locked into a clear goal in your usual environment.

But what about when you go on the all inclusive and you can literally eat all of your favourite foods non stop?

That will tell you a lot about your mindset around food, your body, your thought process and how you value a holiday?

Do you over restrict in the run up to a holiday and drop a few lbs just to make room for the weight you're going to gain on holidays in anticipation of your poor eating/ drinking habits?

What does the answer to that question tell you about the yoyo strategy you are potentially in each year?

How do you feel while on a holiday? Are you relaxed and enjoying each minute of each day? Or are you stuffed, uncomfortable and regretting everything you ate at breakfast to a point of needing to go back to bed to your food coma?

I go on holidays to switch off and enjoy myself! I eat all of the same foods you do. But having the awareness to enjoy, stop and reflect is a skill that many people don't have.

Maybe its not just holidays? Maybe you do this every week at home too?

Ask yourself this one last question:

Does your eating behaviour around foods you tend to over eat add value or take value from life? Not just when you eat it but afterwards?

Next week on episode 42 of the Attitude First Podcast, I welcome and we discuss the importance of nutrition for your goals.

Over our careers, we've seen clients initially make the mistake of cutting foods out instead of simply cutting back. This can stem from a time scarcity issue where the client may want to rush there process.

We also discussed correct programming for clients and the importance of movement assessment with new clients.
