Subject : Acceptance 🤝


I was looking at the video of me boxing yesterday and I noticed that I had put on some weight over the last couple of weeks.

I was journaling about it this morning and I used my usual tools, so I thought I would share some prompts to see if they help others.

“Is this true?”
Probably. I can feel it in my jeans (but the scales are around the same - not a measure of body fat!)

“Can I take responsibility for this?”
Yes - I ate and drank in excess around my birthday, while in Portugal and again while in Ireland. Plus when I stayed in on a Friday or Saturday in London, I probably ate in a surplus because I “deserved it for not drinking”.

I also didn’t move as much overall due to being away and the weather being cold. I still managed my training sessions around the travelling.

I also prioritised work for the month of September, which may have resulted in health or body composition goals taking a step back.

“How do I want to feel?”
I want to feel leaner than I do at the moment, but only slightly. I still feel good as I am.

“What can I do about it?”
Well I can’t increase my activity any more, or I will risk too much stress on my body, or not getting any work done.

So the other option is that I *could* track my calories to ensure I’m in a calorie deficit.... But I don’t think I need to do that, because I’m so used to it so I know whether I am in a deficit or not.

Well then, I could make sure I’m in a deficit for October? I could and I will, despite having lots of visitors and social occasions on the weekends. I would just be wary of “leaving it” until October because the old me would eat rings around myself for the rest of September.

I have social occasions the next few days that I’m not willing to sacrifice for body composition (I’m clear on my values), so I’ll just accept that I won’t be seeing any changes soon, but I can still do my best with my nutrition choices where I can.



I hope that look into my thoughts might be helpful for anyone that is frustrated with their body composition and their thoughts around it.

To summarise: Reflect objectively, take responsibility, take action on what you can control, and accept what you cannot, all in line with your values and priorities.

I was speaking to a client yesterday and we were saying how The Furnace doesn’t tell you what you can and can’t have. It teaches you to have what you *really* want.

She only noticed yesterday she put on some weight? Did she not see the MyProtein shoot pictures?
Or the DMs.. or the comments… about that photoshoot.

She’s been putting on weight since last year. It’s not just a new thing.
 
“Oh London ❤️
And the camera pans around some average looking outdoor bar seating…As long as Shiobhan gets her wine and punishment exercise then she is in heaven 🍷🍷🍷

Why can’t she close her wardrobe doors?
It gives me rage.
She is sooo messy and just down right dirty
She also could just make porridge with oats, but no, so incapable of cooking that she buys the pots.
Nothing wrong with them but she is allergic to the kitchen which for someone who is into health and fitness is weird.
 
Wanted to get the whoop but knew it would tell her to cut down her drinking - didn’t want the unsolicited advice so decided against it.
Also she would be wearing 2 devices & won’t give up the Apple Watch even tho “james will call me a spy kid”

No go, and mentioning him I. Her story - she wants attention 😂😂😂
