If you follow a bunch of these annoying fitness people like me, you'll probably notice they're all talking about Christmas ๐ It's either; a) Stick to your diet all through Christmas, have one slice of Turkey and a brussel sprout on Christmas Day. Make your family do press-ups before they open their presents or b) Go wild. The more chocolate you can cram into your mouth every day of December, the healthier your relationship with food will be. Live a little! Neither approach is right or wrong YOU get to decide how you want to do Christmas Reader, not some jumped-up influencer on Instagram with AI-generated photos and 50,000 followers they purchased from China BUT Your actions will always have consequences If you're reading this email, you're probably looking to lose some fat at some point (either that or you just like laughing at my typos) And if that's the case, you probably want to be a bit careful in December Sure you've got;
All good. But if you eat and drink whatever you feel like at all of these, January ain't gonna be pretty If you go with option a) and just let your hair down, you could easily be 7 pounds (3kg) up between now and January If you already want to lose 20 pounds, you've just added ANOTHER 7 pounds on top, which will make your overall weight-loss journey even longer (maybe by another 7 weeks) If you just DON'T gain those extra 7 pounds you are starting from a much better place So, it's not about all or nothing approach at Christmas In fact, both are shit You should probably aim to be somewhere in the middle Enjoy 3 days of indulgence (Xmas Eve to Boxing Day) and make sure the rest of the month is pretty normal And just aim to maintain your weight โ (It'll be so much easier to do this if you're weighing yourself daily) It puts you in a very powerful position in January โ You can either be happy that you've enjoyed Christmas and gained zero weight OR If you do want to lose weight, you haven't added weeks and months onto your timeline in 2025 Or you could just eat like an idiot and gain 10 pounds You do you.

What's that glowing yellow orb in the sky? ๐ We haven't seen it in what feels like a very long time - but I think I remember it being called the sun ๐ค 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...
January is finally over You made it Reader, well done ๐ It's still pretty cold and dark, but we're through the most depressing month of the year I'm guessing you would have tried to lose weight in Jan though... How did it go? Did you; a) Commit to the gym 6x times a week, get burned out after 3 weeks and quit? ๐ฅต b) Give up any food and drink that brings you any joy, get bored after 4 weeks and quit? ๐ฅ c) Get into a reasonable calorie deficit and start walking for 30-60 minutes a day? ๐ If the...
You want to lose your belly Just say it Reader This isn't about 'skyrocketing your confidence' Or 'being the best version of yourself' Or 'building mental resilience in all areas of life' You don't need any of that You don't want any of that You just want to lose some fat so you look better in and out of clothes That's it Once you admit to yourself, you'll make everything so much easier You don't need to be; Drinking lemon water ๐ Getting precisely 8.6 hours of sleep every night ๐ Training...
