If I had to lose 40lbs again, these are 5 habits I would break first: 1. Not tracking a single piece of data. Ever. Weights, reps, sets. Progressive overload training is all about progressing week over week. How am I supposed to know if I’m getting stronger if I’m not tracking the data? 2. “Saving” all of my calories for later in the day. This works for some people.. but I would find myself over eating at the end of every day. 3. Eating “healthy” but not tracking anything (not even for a week). It’s important to get an idea of how much you’re eating. Especially because most women do not get enough protein (even if you think you do). 4. Working out and then sitting the rest of the day. Move your body more throughout the day with little tasks. 5. Do intense cardio 5-6 days a week. Strength training has changed the overall composition of my body more than excessive cardio ever did.
