Bad habits are easier to create than good habits.

Bad habits become ingrained in our daily lives under the radar, because we're not paying attention to them as we go about our day.

Each time I drove to yet another fast-food drive thru, did I know that eating that food was an unhealthy habit? Deep down, yes - but was it on the forefront of mind? Not at all.

Which led to the moment 16+ years ago when I held some then-newborn son, Zach, for the first time - and I couldn't believe how much weight I had gained, like it seemingly happened overnight.

But it took years to pack on 75lbs. I simply didn't pay attention.

But those 14 months it took to lose that weight - you better believe I was keenly aware of all the ups and downs and every good choice I made along the way, because being aware kept me on track.

That's why I'm hosting the Spring Into Fall 8-Week Challenge.

You won't get all the way to where you want to be in 8 weeks, but you will build the foundation of good habits that will get you there.

And why I'm offering it at such an inexpensive price with such simple workouts - because I want to eliminate money and time as excuses.

I've even doubled down, offering an early bird price of $79...

(Which BTW ends tomorrow 👍🤔🧐)

But even the regular price of $99 should lead you to invest in yourself. So, let's get you signed up by clicking the link in the comments.

Because you have nothing to lose except those bad habits and extra weights that have hounded you for too long.

I had a great conversation about nutrition earlier this afternoon.

Not so surprisingly, it was while we were eating lunch. Surprisingly, though, it was about how simple eating healthy really is.

I don't often hear that stance, because oftentimes I'm asked, "What should I eat?" by people who have overcomplicated nutrition.

At its core, healthy nutrition comes down to making healthy food choices more often than not, which isn't as hard as it may seem.

If I put an apple and a bag of chips on a table, there isn't a person out there who doesn't know which is the healthier option.

So, why would people pick the chips? Because they want to, and what they want is more important to them than what they know is right.

I convinced myself for years that eating fast food made more sense for me given my busy professional schedule. I was constantly traveling from one sporting event to another, I told myself, so picking up fast food saved me time that could be spent working.

But in reality, fast food is what I wanted to eat - and deep down, I knew that. It simply wasn't important enough to me to change it.

Until I had a better reason: my son Zach being born 16+ years ago.

Then I simplified the plan - focusing on healthy choices, eating at home more, watching portion sizes and drinking more water.

Simple and effective. If we want to make simple, effective changes. Once I did, I kicked myself for waiting so long. What are you waiting for?

Are you skipping meals during your busy days thinking it's saving you time? You should rethink that strategy.

You might save 15 minutes here and there, and it might seem harmless, but it costs you energy and mental clarity for hours. I’ve seen it with clients and felt it myself. That time never comes back the way you think it will.

How do you prioritize your meals?

And while you ponder that question, check out the link below to check out this and all episodes of the Fitness Is Our Business Podcast.

Have you ever taken the time to consider how recovery can boost your productivity? 🤔 Well, think no more...

When i started treating sleep, movement and nutrition as performance indicators much like the KPIs within my business, my production markedly improved. Recovery isn’t a luxury. It’s essential.

So...why don't you have time?

Hint...It isn't because you don't have time. I'll bet it's because you don't make time, no matter what you tell yourself day after day.

Because I used to tell myself that. I spent lots of time over two decades telling myself that. Then one day I was asked if I truly knew that definitively. That meant doing a formal accounting of my time.

And I still do that, to this day - once every quarter or so, I track a day in the life of me and Fernandes Fit LLC - every second of that day.

Why? Numbers don't lie. I can't convince myself of anything else but what the numbers say because they're staring me in the face.

If I'm wasting time, and we all inevitably do that to various extents, we now know why. Which means all that's left is to fix it.

Me...I get a little old school to do that. I still use Google on my phone to keep track of my schedule. But every Sunday morning, I write everything going on for the week - the constants, tasks that pop up from time to time, the one-offs - onto a physical calendar.

I assign a time limit for each based on past history of doing them. I check each one of them off the calendar of course. But if I don't complete a task in the allotted time, I know I'm not being efficient enough with my time - and I make adjustments to change that.

All that includes everything I personally do, including when workouts get done. That way, I can never say I don't have enough time.
