You get what you deserve!

At some stage, you have probably felt some frustration or confusion about why you may not get the fast results you were hoping for. You’ve started exercising, changed some eating habits and expect to be fixed overnight!!? Sound familiar at all?!

I absolutely understand that it’s easy to be impatient and we’d all love quick changes. BUT, next time you find yourself wishing for faster results – ask yourself if you’ve actually been earning it or not. Ask yourself HONESTLY!!

If you’re currently following a food plan – have you been following it, or adding a few snacky extras? Have you been measuring your food or are you going way over on your portion sizes? Have you been planning ahead with your food, or are getting caught out with ‘nothing’ in the fridge which leads to a quick trip to KFC? Have you been eating mindfully, or eating without even thinking about it? Have you been consistent, or are you having a good few days then a rubbish weekend?

Now think about your workouts – have you been giving it 100%, or taking it a bit easy? Do you push yourself out of your comfort zone? Do you make a million excuses why you can’t exercise?

If you are currently wishing for better results – have a good think about the above questions and see what you come up with. Like most things in life, you get what you deserve. And that doesn’t have to be directed at poor results – if you work your butt off and eat right consistently, you’ll get great results, and that’s what you deserve. If you’re not watching your food and only doing a half-arsed workout once in a while, you’ll get what you deserve. Either way – your actions will determine your results.

There’s no point bitching if you aren’t happy with your measurements, knowing you’ve been slacking off. Just use it as a reminder that you need to work at it, consistently. It’s not easy, if it was easy everyone would be doing it and our growing obesity rate wouldn’t be so scary. It does take time and planning, but it’s absolutely worth it.

So eat for your goals, give it your everything at training, and you’ll get what you deserve!!

Have a great day!
