#178 - What we are doing with our training and nutrition over the holidays and what we get our clients to do with Craig McDonald
The holidays are upon us! We're actually taking two full weeks off. I'm actually really looking forward to the time off, going to the beach, going out to eat, and catching up with friends and family.
We thought this was a good time to talk about what we do over the holidays when it comes to our training and nutrition and what we get our clients to do. I used to restrict like crazy leading up to the holidays, then I’d binge for two weeks and get straight back to restricting Jan 2nd
So, this is a short episode about what we do now and how you can approach your training and nutrition over the holidays.
In this episode, Craig and I chat about:
Eating over the holidays
Enjoying the holidays and time with your loved ones
How its consistency that matters
Not doing fat loss phases for these couple of weeks
Breaking free of the restrict/binge mindset
Getting enough protein
The importance of starting your day with a solid breakfast that has 20-30g of protein

#177 - Why you should focus on progress, not perfection with Craig McDonald
This episode is inspired by one of our awesome clients!
Some of the best transformations in our program haven’t included a linear journey and haven’t been free of failure.
They only happened because they took consistent imperfect action (and failed lots of times). So, let’s dig into this a little bit further. Why should you focus on progress not perfection?
In this episode, Craig and I discuss:
Thinking progress is too slow and how to shift your mindset around this
Overcoming setbacks
Focusing on the journey
Making better decisions
Accountability
Coaching and making it a habit
How close enough is good enough most of the time
And more!

#171 - How to stay consistent with your nutrition on the weekends with Craig McDonald
Something Craig and I have noticed with some of our clients is that they're consistent Monday to Friday, but then when the weekend rolls around, the plan just goes out the window.

What to do when eating out on the weekend
Simplifying your meal plans
Planning ahead and packing your food
