How many of you are hovering 10 pounds to a stone above your best and can’t seem to do anything about it?
Here’s my guess on why.
Are you just showing up for workouts going through the motions maybe?
Have you forgotten how good it feel likes to be at your best?
Have you lost your confidence in your physical ability? Are those hills you used to go up suddenly “off limits”?
Is it easier now to be a little bit overweight, maybe the effort of being at your best now is “too much”?
The great news is that we all go through such situations and we all need to snap out of this thinking as soon as posible.
That initial uncomfortable period of finally getting your best “head on” only lasts around a week, after that you wll have regained the desire needed to get those extra pounds off.
I’m talking about getting back up those hills, getting back on the bike maybe, being more active full stop.
This will then lead to better and better performances. For instance, you may get back to doing sprints up hills but how much effort are you REALLY putting in to them. Is it simply a matter of gettiing to 6 0r 8 0r even 10 sprints, but not worrying how fast you are going?
Once you get back to worrying about your performance and really wanting to get 100% out of yourself again, this is when those extra 10 pounds to a stone will come off. Your body will recognise the big efforts again, and adjust itself accordingly. Lower body fat will have to happen, more toned muscles will have to happen, better lung capacity will have to happen, a stronger more efficient heart ready for anything will happen once again!
You will start to feel alive again and realise that getting back to your best wasn’t mission impossible after all!
A dry 3 days coming up believe it or not so lets make the most of it!!!
