Life Before Sat Navs ðš
|
When I passed my driving test (4th time lucky, embarrassingly) Sat Navs were still pretty new I remember a brand new Garmin or Tom Tom being like ÂĢ400 ðģ Mad when you think you can use Waze or Google Maps on your phone for free now Reader For my first couple of years of driving, I used maps ðš Yep, those massive ring binders, with different pages for different bits of the M4 Looking back, they were a nightmare to use You had to take your eyes off the road You constantly lost where you actually were on the page ðĪŠ And if you were on a country lane in the middle of nowhere you had to squint and hold the thing right up to your face ð§ I don't know how I didn't cause multiple fatal crashes. Anyway, those days are gone and we don't need to divide our attention between the road, and a highly detailed topographical map of Surrey anymore Now we can just tap our destination into Waze and it'll take us there without any fuss âķ It'll even try to avoid traffic (impossible if you live in South East England, believe me) ðððð 99.9% of people would agree that this is better than using a map So WHY do people still try to navigate weight loss on their own?! Sure some people just have the right mix of knowledge dedication and patience first time But MOST people I speak to who want me to coach them have tried multiple times and failed Trying to muddle through the process on your own is like trying to find a specific blade of grass in a massive field using an old-style road map Sure, you could do it, but it's going to take forever, and you'll keep going off track If only you had a Sat Nav It's probably one of the weirdest compliments I've had, but one my ex-clients told me that using me was like using a Sat Nav I just told them what to do, and they did it *They didn't need to think* They just followed instructions, and eventually, they got to their destination ð Sure they hit some traffic here and there, but they didn't mind because they knew they were going in the right direction So I guess I am a bit like a Sat Nav. If you're trying to lose weight, you don't have to use me But investing some money (like paying for that Tom Tom) means less stress, less thinking on your part, and a lower risk of driving head-on into an 18-wheeler delivery truck Ok that last one doesn't really work but you get the idea So if you're trying to lose weight, don't get lost on the B5614 Tell me where you want to go, and I'll take you there Contact details are just above my fancy new logo... ð Joe WhatsApp: +447590988201 Insta: https://www.instagram.com/joe_johnson_9_to_5/â Review Me: https://g.page/r/Cff1IczzxIbBEBM/reviewâ Website: 9-to-5-nutrition.comâ Email: joe.johnson@9-to-5-nutrition.com |

ð Last Sunday I said you haven't got a normal week, you've got about nine of them. I said I'd tell you the one thing I'd do in each. So here it is; nine weeks, one move in each. Read the one you're in and ignore the other eight. ð The on-it week Shopping done, dinners planned. Happens twice a year. The move: write down what you did, then find the one bit you'd still manage on your worst week. That's the only part worth keeping. The rest of it is a holiday from your actual life, and using it...
ðķ Two weeks ago I told you my weight didn't move over fifteen months of me being completely useless, and that one of the two reasons was that I never stopped walking. Fair few of you replied asking the obvious thing: how many steps? So let's do this properly, because the number everyone asks about is the least important part and it's also, genuinely, made up. 10,000 steps is not a health guideline. It's an advert. In 1965 a Japanese company started selling a pedometer called the Manpo-kei â...
What's that glowing yellow orb in the sky? ð We haven't seen it in what feels like a very long time - but I think I remember it being called the sun ðĪ Seasons are weird Reader When it's summer, you can't imagine it being winter, and when it's winter, you can't imagine it being summer And while it definitely isn't summer yet, those first glimpses of March have got me thinking about holidays, the beach, and generally just not having to wear 17 layers of clothes to leave the house All nice...
