Are you finding yourself wondering why you don’t see any changes in your body even though you are exercising all the time? Are you feeling like “why bother”?? Frustrated with lack of results based on your efforts?
Let’s find out why and how to fix it:
Following your nutrition plan during the week but blowing it on the weekends is not gonna cut it! You are likely sitting at maintenance or worse, putting on body fat due to the excess calories from the weekend. No matter how much you are exercising, it’s nearly impossible to out train a “bad” diet.
Having a nutrition plan that allows you to eat your favorite foods any day of the week while getting results is optimal. You are likely restricting too much during the week which causes a “binge” or “pig out” on the weekends.
Random workouts in the gym. Only training the body parts you think need work. Inconsistency with workouts. Something different all the time. Moving weight but not really training hard. ALL OF THESE WILL HOLD YOU BACK FROM GETTING EFFECTIVE RESULTS.
Following a structured program with an emphasis on progressive overload (strength based) will get you the results you desire. Focusing on strength over cardio will get you there FASTER!
Jumping from program to program, or diet to diet because you aren’t seeing result fast enough is a set-up for failure! If you can’t sustain your nutrition plan forever….than don’t expect long term results. Program hopping is holding your muscle back from reaping the rewards of consistency.
Consistency is KEY! Following a program in which you can track your progress over a certain length of time is more desirable for achieving long term results. And compliancy to following a nutrition plan that allows you to eat the foods you love & has adequate amounts of protein will facilitate results that last….well….FOREVER!
Hope this helps take the frustration out of exercising so hard and not seeing your results. Be sure to incorporate the ’s, stay consistent and over time…..your body WILL change.

If you’ve been with us for a while, you know that you can absolutely have all the treats this weekend without any guilt. Holidays like this give us the opportunity to make 1 of 2 choices:
1. Stay on plan and fit the treats we want to eat INTO our plan.
OR
2. Not stay on plan for the day, enjoy the treats without guilt, but ACKNOWLEDGE that you may stall your results a bit, and then get right back on plan the next day.
BOTH choices are OK! But if you want to make choice #1 easier, here’s a delicious (and fun to make) low-cal, high protein recipe that will satisfy that sweet tooth.
Bird’s Nests
Makes 12 nests
* 1/4 c. powdered peanut putter, such as PB Fit
* 30 g. protein powder (vanilla, butterscotch, peanut butter or chocolate all work well)
* 4-5 Tbsps. water
* 1/4 c. chocolate or butterscotch chips (depending on preference)
* 4 oz. All-Bran cereal
* 24 candy coated, mini chocolate eggs
Line 12 muffin pan cups with silicone or parchment liners. In a large mixing bowl, combine the powdered peanut butter and protein powder. Mix in the water a little at a time, until a smooth, peanut butter consistency forms. In a small, microwave safe bowl melt the chocolate or butterscotch chips for about 1 minute, stirring every 20 seconds, until just melted and smooth. Add the melted chips to the peanut butter mixture and stir to combine well. Add the cereal and gently stir until well coated. Evenly fill each muffin liner with a spoonful of the mixture (about 1 oz. each). Using damp fingers, lightly press the mixture into the liners to shape into a “nest”. Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes, then gently remove from the liners to a serving plate. Add 2 mini chocolate eggs into each nest. Serve immediately. Store an an air tight container, refrigerated up to 2 days.
1 nest (about 1.2 oz.)

Achieving your fat loss goal requires discipline and consistency. Here are some tips to help you stay on track:
❶ Tracking your calorie intake is crucial to knowing whether you’re truly in a calorie deficit. Use measuring cups and a scale to ensure portion control. It may seem cumbersome at first, but it gets easier over time.
❷ Don’t let weekends derail your progress. Change your mindset and choose to relax while eating foods you love, as long as they fit your plan. All seven days matter, so start the week feeling successful and confident.
❸ Hormones may affect your emotions, but don’t use them as an excuse for making poor choices. Pay attention to emotional eating habits and redirect yourself towards your goal.
❹ Consistency is key, but a miserable diet won’t last. Find a sustainable plan that works for you long-term and consistently put it into action. You’ll be amazed at the results.
❺ Remember to read these tips again and again.
