PREP WEEK: DAY 5 · FRIDAY
Friday Wins!
It’s day 5 of the FASTer Way to Fat Loss Prep Week! On Fridays we celebrate our WINS. would say a big win for all of you is: you made it! We are at the end of PREP WEEK!
What is your BIGGEST WIN from this past week? Comment in our group and tell us so we can rejoice with you.
We are often tempted to count our defeats and losses instead of our wins. But in the FASTer Way to Fat Loss - that changes. It’s time to focus on the positive and celebrate progress.
Did you implement intermittent fasting for the first time? Have you incorporated more whole foods into your food log? Are you drinking more water than you have in a while? Big or small - I want to hear YOUR win.
ASK ME ANYTHING!
Now it's time to put everything you learned this week into action. Today I am going to be answering some Frequently Asked Questions!! Watch the video below.
Also - keep the questions coming!! What do you have questions about so far? What are you feeling CONFIDENT about and what are you STRUGGLING with?
I hope that you have been practicing intermittent fasting and focusing on more whole food nutrition this week. If you haven't watched our daily training videos this week, I encourage you to do so as soon as possible. You will need to understand our strategies in order to move forward successfully. I also challenged you to start tracking your meals in your new app! You need to practice this every day to ensure that you understand the concept of tracking macros.
Now that we are at the end of Prep Week…
YOUR JOB IS TO START
Take the weekend to prepare for next week! It won't be pretty. You will mess up. It will be a LOT of learning - but you have to START somewhere!! So Monday....you first low carb day… here we come.
Don't over think it! I know that's easier said than done... but try not to overthink things *too* much! Just dive in, do the best you can... remember GRACE. Progress > Perfection!
TODAY’S ACTION ITEMS:
What has been your biggest win this week? Comment in the group and tell us so we can rejoice with you!
This weekend - focus on whole foods - and stick to your fasting - try to build up to 16 hours by Monday!!
Spend some time thinking about your bigger “why” and share it with us in the comments so we can support each other!
Post a picture/ or tells us what your meals are today!
start practicing with tracking your macros!! Are you up for the challenge? Aim for within 5-10g over or under your goal. This will ensure your success, but also give you a little flexibility. Remember, our goal is not perfection. It takes practice.
WHAT ABOUT THE WEEKENDS?
You do the absolute BEST YOU CAN. Try to stick to your fasting window. If you can’t make it the full 16 because of an event or special occasion, try to get at least 12.
I want all of you to try to get in the leg day workout tomorrow morning (if you physically can… if you are a beginner… then just modify… you have to start somewhere!!, drink lots of water… and treat it like a normal week day of eating.
If you have plans to go out to eat - you have a few options.
Remember when we talked about saving macros? That just means eat light throughout the day, and save macros up for dinner! I like to have about 40g protein, 100g carbs and most of my F grams saved up if I have a big weekend dinner out. I don’t track and just go enjoy dinner with my saved up macros.
OR… you can try to track your dinner out ahead of time if you know what you are going to order (the best you can - even if the restaurant is not on MFP… just plug in the best you can, okay!?) - and then plan the earlier part of your day accordingly.
If it is your birthday, anniversary, special occasion, etc. then just GO. ENOY. MEMORIES OVER MACROS!
