“You shouldn’t have bothered” – Things that get forgotten for weight loss
[rt_reading_time label=”Reading Time:” postfix=”minutes” postfix_singular=”minute”]
Every month I get the pay slips from our accountants posted to me at the club and I pass them onto the coaches and other staff here.
####### All our staff are employed and get sick pay, holiday pay and other benefits. Facilities that keep their staff as self-employed but ask them to be at a certain place at a certain time every week and do a certain job in a certain way are breaking the law. Naughties! #######
The other day coach Bernie got an extra pay slip.
The accountants had made a revision, based on a calculation error, adding 37p to her pay for that month.
Having realised that Bernie commented to me that “You shouldn’t have bothered”
Thing is though, I hadn’t had to do anything.
Systems are in place so all that side of it gets sorted pretty much automatically.
And, although it was only 37p, where would it end if we didn’t bother counting that?
What if she was underpaid £1.27?
£5.76?
£27.19?
You get the point.
Where do we cut off where it’s worth counting it?
There’s two parallels there for our eating.
The more we make things a little more ‘automated’ the easier it all is.
Waiting till hungry o clock and seeing what we can get our hands on…………
Will usually lead to less good results than, for example, always sitting down on a Sunday evening to plan the majority of the weeks meals and do a click and collect order for Monday morning.
And, where do we draw the line with considering what we eat and drink to be worth consideration?
Whether you’re accurately tracking what you’re eating.
Or just keeping an extra eye on it compared to normal.
Don’t count the little snacks?
But there ends up being 10 of them per week?
Taking us from a 5% deficit to a 5% surplus?
Or more?
Don’t think it’s worth factoring in energy consumption from drinks?
Forgetting that a can of coke has 150 cals – give or take 10% of the daily requirement for most people looking to lose weight.
And a bottle of wine about 700 cals.
You get the point.
It’s easy to think “it’s not worth bothering” with those smaller numbers.
But that can be a slippery slope.
Much love,
Jon ‘Botherer’ Hall and Matt ‘Bothersome’ Nicholson
