The ONE thing...

So this week while you're tracking your nutrition, you may be asking "what is the ONE THING I need to do to get results?"

There is always that ONE THING that people are looking for to take them to the next level. To provide all of the solutions to their problems. To get them into the clothes they desire. To feel better. To move better. To perform better.

Far to often I see people trying a bunch of things and not giving it enough time to make an impact. 

"oh yeah, I tried that for about a week and I didn't see any results."
"I went to the gym twice and I didn't see any results."
"I tried that program twice and didn't see any benefit."
"I signed up for that 12 week program but only went a handful of times."

The truth about success is simple and as stated by Darren Hardy, author of The Compound Effect, "there are not 5,000 things one needs to do well to be successful. There are about a half-dozen things that need to be done well, just done 5,000 times over to be successful."

So for example, if we were to pick out a half-dozen things that need to be done well:
1. Continue tracking nutrition, exercise and in some cases sleep
2. Following your nutrition program 90% of the time throughout the week.
3. Eating until you're 80% full
4. Drinking half your body weight in ounces of water per day (200 pounds = 100 ounces of water)
5. Having a protein, veggie or fruit with every meal
6. Including healthy fats in your daily intake

Seems pretty basic and it really is. We really want to be able to master the basics therefore, if I were to suggest ONE THING it would be CONSISTENCY.

Consistency with the basics. Master the basics. Doing the basics 5,000 times over to be successful. Instead of doing 5,000 things once or twice.

This is something that has taken me a long time to put into action for a different area in my life. Once my mindset shifted, it has simplified the way I do things and also less stress!

My food for today so far:

One chicken sausage (no nitrates) with one zucchini and 1/2 avocado
Protein shake (organic plant based protein, 1/2 banana, 1 tbsp peanut butter)
Spinach and kale salad with salmon, feta and balsamic
One small bowl of cereal (cocoa puffs)

Dinner will probably be sweet potato and salmon

The cocoa puff story- As long as I know the rest of my day has been doing well, I can trust myself enough to have a something in small amounts. In this case, Sophie wanted to spend time together eating cereal. We enjoyed a small bowl and that was that. No guilt for what I ate and I enjoyed our time together. If circumstances were different, (training for a show, getting blood sugars down, leaning down for a specific dress size, etc) then this probably wouldn't apply.

Let me know how you're doing and share your tracking!

These are some very helpful and motivational examples. I need to follow your suggestions, in order to be get a better physique. I recently came back into working out, and I think that these tips are very helpful. I should list them all in my notebook and print it for the next few weeks. With this, I'll be able to follow a routine and have the proper knowledge in my exercises.
