Do you feel guilty during the silly season?

Do you train over the holidays?

I trained…. Once
We just got back from 12 amazing days in Brazil. Before I left I told myself that I would train every day and go to the gym and have a run and skip rope and stick to my nutrition…..
But I went to a wedding that was like a dream.  (My beautiful client Virginia married Daniel I love them both!)
We ended up having a great time with days full of activities and fun and lunches, and dinners and shopping.
Exercise and my regular nutrition fell by the wayside.

Does that sound familiar?

I trained once pretty hard and I posted the workout if your curious what to do on holidays with no equipment.
In the past I would have beaten myself up and felt guilty. I would have descended into a a spiral of manic activity.

I didn’t understand that sometimes you plateau for a while, sometimes you take a step back for a few weeks.
Great thing is I have learned that guilt is a wasted emotion.

In fact focusing too much on the the end result, focusing to much on the contrast between where you are now and where you want to will make you super unhappy.
I feel good when my process is right.

I feel good when I'm eating well, training, making time to see mum, walking Bondi to Bronte with my lover.
So what is the key to staying happy, even when your out of shape?
Staying happy even if your not at your goal

or if your fatter than you want to be,

or less toned then you need to be?

Focus on your process.

Focus on your process

Focus on your process

Focus on what you can control.

Not what just happened or where you want to be just on what you can control now.
What are you doing right now, what are your habits like?

What are you eating?

What is your thought process like?

The lesson is focus on the process and results will come.

Don’t beat yourself up if you stand still for three weeks.

Don’t get guilty, enjoy the fact you stuck to good habits and had discipline.

Make a few small tweaks to your nutrition and exercise and away you go.
Live the good life.
Love and light Hattie.
