Donโt do 70% of the workโฆ
Youโre ALREADY doing MORE than half, add in the 4-5 things youโre missing.
If you were in a college class and you did 70% of the work, you would get a โCโ.Thatโs an AVERAGE score; average is where you currently are (if you arenโt where you want to be).
You would be CRAZY to go to your professor/teacher/boss and ask for a raise or a reason for getting an average grade if you got a 70%.
MOST PEOPLE do 70% of the work and give up, they will:
โ Workout a few days.
โ Eat well for a few days.

Remember, doing more to reach your fitness goals doesn't mean working out more ๐
Agree or disagree??

First things first...
There is zero reason to stop working towards your goals because the summer is โbusyโ...
By that logic, you will give up on your goals EVERY summer???
That doesnโt make sense...
Now that we got that straightened out:
1๏ธโฃ Keep a calendar and time slot for EVERYTHING you need to do to reach your goals.
You keep a calendar for life events, work projects, social life...
But not your fitness goals???
Time block your calendar for when you will:
โ
Go to the grocery store
โ
Prep your meals
โ
Workout
โ
Get your steps
โ
Daily habits
This will help you 10X your productivity and help you stay structured.
2๏ธโฃ Do things outside
Workout outside, walk outside, work outside, etc.
Soak up the sun, enjoy life any time you can. TAKE ADVANTAGE of it.
It will increase your mood, productivity, and overall life.
You only have so many hours you can be productive, so maximize them!
Get good sleep, touch grass, go outside, increase your productivity to THE MAX.
3๏ธโฃ Enjoy your summer
It breaks my heart when I chat with someone and they think they have to track EVERYTHING...
You donโt!! You donโt need to track everything, you donโt need to be a slave to your fitness goals.
When you realize that your life fits INTO your fitness goals, not the other way around...
It becomes super easy to stick to a:
โ
Routine
โ
Diet
โ
Program
and ultimately reach your goals ๐

Hitting a plateau is WILL happen, it isnโt necessarily a matter of IF, but WHEN.
Here are 4 signs you are hitting a plateau in your fitness journey and need to change and adjust your plan.
1๏ธโฃ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ก๐ ๐๐จ๐ฃ'๐ฉ ๐๐ค๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฟ๐ค๐ฌ๐ฃ ๐ผ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ข๐ค๐ง๐
The scale ISNโT the greatest unit of measurement for progress, at all lol.๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝHowever, if you have had consistent progress on the scale and it slows, that could be a sign.
2๏ธโฃ ๐๐ฃ๐๐ง๐๐ฎ ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ก๐จ ๐ฟ๐๐๐ง๐๐๐จ๐๐ฃ๐
As calories continue to decrease in a fat loss phase, energy levels CAN decrease.
However, if the energy decrease is significant AND you arenโt seeing anymore progress, you may need to adjust your plan.
3๏ธโฃ ๐๐๐๐ฉ๐จ ๐๐ฃ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ข ๐ฝ๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ ๐๐ ๐ฟ๐๐๐ง๐๐๐จ๐๐ฃ๐
As calories decrease energy levels will as well.
Therefore, lifts can start to be stagnant, if your lifts and strength starts to decrease WITH no progress. This can be a sign a reverse diet can be in your near future.
4๏ธโฃ ๐๐ค๐ช ๐ ๐๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐ผ๐พ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช๐ง ๐๐ค๐๐ก๐จ, ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ ๐ก๐ค๐จ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฅ๐ง๐ค๐๐ง๐๐จ๐จ, ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐๐.
This is probably the most common and hard to see. A plateau can come in your CURRENT fitness journey, OR it can be an accumulation of your fitness journeys.๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝIf you are caught in a cycle of losing weight, then gaining it back, that IS a plateau, you havenโt gone anywhere for months or years. That is still a plateau OVERALL.
You wonโt notice a plateau right away.๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝBut you WILL have one and need to address it at some point in your fitness journey in order to have long term success. ๐

Everyone knows how much I love protein and for good reason.
It helps you build muscle, in turn burning fat and increasing your metabolism.
However, how can we get MORE of it in?
๏ฟฝHere are my 3 favorite protein hacks to help you get MORE protein throughout the day.
These are best used as sacks to help you hit your protein goal for the day.
๏ฟฝ1๏ธโฃ Beef Jerky
Beef jerky is easy to eat and take with you.
A serving of beef jerky can be 20-30 grams of protein as well.
Given itโs high sodium content, I would limit itโs consumption to once a day.
2๏ธโฃ Yogurt
Depending on the yogurt you use, you can get up to 25 grams of protein a serving.
Okios Triple Zero is great, but they even have Okios Pro which has even more protein!
I like to dice up some berries and add a little granola to make it a sweet treat as well! ๐
3๏ธโฃ Protein Shakes/Bars
Protein shakes are quick and easy. Any 100% whey protein will do, but it really depends on the brand. Some are better than others.
I use 1 cup of egg whites (taste better than you think!), 1 cup of Fairlife Milk, and a scoop of chocolate Gold Standard protein powder.
This makes my shake 50 grams of protein!
If you add in all these hacks, you can easily supplement 50-70 grams of protein a day.
Making it easier to hit your targets!
Therefore, reaching your goals and living your best life!
Comment your favorite protein hack! ๐
