Have you ever said to yourself “I’ll start again on Monday”?
I’m sure we all have.
Seems to make sense, doesn’t it?
But, in 23 years in the Fitness Industry, I’ve observed that………
Monday is often the worst day of the week to “start again”.
It’s a full on day.
Back into work.
Kids in school.
Stuff to ‘catch up on’.
It’s easy for our great intentions to have not gone quite right by Tuesday or Wednesday and we think “I’ll leave it till next week”.
So, when’s best to start?
I’ve got two considerations for you;
1. There is no “start again”.
We eat and move every day.
Some days more or less or in different ways, but it’s always happening.
Deciding to class “healthy living” as something you either are or aren’t doing………….
Often leads to less good choices.
There is no “start again”.
There is no tomorrow.
We’re just faced with the decisions right in front of us now.
And we can either make decisions that will contribute to us going in the direction we want to go in.
Or ones that will take us away.
2. If we’re going to have a period of ‘tracking’ our eating, then Friday is a great day to start.
We show a bit of control over the weekend then have a doable run through to next Friday.
If we’re left with ‘poverty calories’ then maybe we question how much we over-consumed and if that was really needed.
But ‘starting’ (tracking) on a Friday means we never need to think “s*d it” and it’s a “write off” (whatever that means) part way through the weekend.
