5 unsexy sacrifices I made to drop 45lbs and go from 190lbs to 145lbs: 1. I stopped just eating “healthy” and started actually tracking my macros and hitting a calorie goal. It’s good to be aware and mindful of how much you’re consuming, even if it’s “healthy”. 2. I stopped sleeping in all the time and waking up frantic and rushing around. I am 10x more likely to workout and get my steps in if I do it before work. 3. I stopped trying something new every 2 weeks when the scale didn’t do what I wanted it to. I followed a structured program that was intentional for muscle growth and fat loss. 4. I sacrifice 1 hour of my weekend to prep my food for the following week. I’m not preparing the same 5x meals, I’m prepping a few ingredients in bulk that I can mix and match and use all week. 5. Consistency on the weekends. I’m still eating pretty much the same meals that I eat during the weeks and keeping up with my workouts and my steps. Consistent with as much as I can so that I can have some flexibility on the weekends without going haywire.
