Getting lean, personal trainer style,

Hi There
Today is Friday and it day 5 of my getting lean challenge.
I have missed a couple of post over the last few days because I have been busy and away from my desk a lot. The important thing though is that I have continued to stay mostly on track with the eating. This brings me to a few really relevant points. The first one is tenacity. Regardless of what you are doing, whether it be getting lean, getting fit, building a business or looking for a partner in life, you must stick to it to see results. I often have a chuckle when I hear about sports stars becoming overnight champions. The truth is that overnight success took years of preparation. That brings me to the next point. Be prepared. Even though I was away from my normal routine, and I have to eat a lot of food to keep this program going, by being prepared I was able to have enough food with me and ready to eat so that I wasn't tempted to pig out on chocolates and other sweet stuff. Something I have learn't many times in the past and have had reinforced this time around is if I eat enough during the day it is really easy to resist the temptation to eat junk food. Keep the proteins and healthy fats intake high and sugar becomes less of an ogre to resist. The last point I wish to make here is about being good to your self. You will notice in the open sentences I said I was on track most of the time. Yes, even I don't follow my pland religiously. The trick here is if you trip up and have a bit of a furfee, get back on track as soon as you can. Acknowledge that you slipped, look for the reason why and find a way to overcome it. That will change the perspective on the slip and make it a learning opportunity.
I have got to go and eat now so until next time, keep exercising hard and eating right.
