#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 breakfa...
#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!

➡️What to do when eating out on the weekend
➡️Simplifying your meal plans
