How much too much?

I was chatting to a ninja the other day.
In case you didn’t know, we call our members ninjas.
Members are what gyms have – someone who rents access to equipment and no one knows or cares if they know what they’re doing, attend and get results.
And it sounds cool.
Helen, as we’ll call her (it is her name after all) was telling me about her eating.
As with most people, it was “good in the week”.
But not so much at the weekend.
She commented that she needed “a bit less weekend”.
“Do you?” I replied.
“Or would a bit less week do it?”
There’s no right or wrong answer of course.
But, as always, questions are easier to answer with actual data.
Let’s say, for round number’s sake, we would lose weight at the rate we’re happy with on 1,500 calories (don’t switch off to this if your numbers are different).
That’s 10,500 per week.
We track our eating and find out numbers look more like this:
Monday to Thursday = 1,200
Friday and Saturday = 2,500
Sunday = 1,800
We’re 1,100 over for the week.
Still losing weight, just not as fast.
Or, our maintenance is 2,000.
14,000 per week.
We track our eating and find out numbers look more like this:
Monday to Thursday = 1,600
Friday and Saturday = 3,000
Sunday = 2,200
We’re 1,400 over for the week.
Gaining a little.
And so on.
We could have “a bit less weekend”.
But we could have “a bit less week” and get the same result.
Couple of hundred off on those weekdays and we’re there.
Or, of course, a mixture (check myrise.co.uk/briefing-meeting if you like the sound of an approach built on living a life you’re happy with but in a way that’ll get you the results you desire).
It’s about creating a balance that we’re happy with.
If we had £105 (or £140) cash left over for the week, we would’t spend exactly the same every day.
We’d save a bit on some days to mean we could spend more on others.
And our eating can be much the same.
And, just like our money, we’d find it so much easier to make this work if we knew the numbers rather than if we just checked our overdraft / weight at the end of the month.
Much love,
Jon ‘Strong beginning’ Hall
