Fastlaner Fitness Tips

[TreyAllDay]

Hey Fastlane Fam!

I'm going to renew my commitment to fitness and losing some extra pounds, it's been largely affected by running the business. I know HOW to lose weight obviously and the basics of how to achieve goals, creating habits, etc. However have had largely a motivational issue - at the end of a long day working on the business it doesn't feel that bad having a couple beers or eating a bad meal. I do fine until basically after 4PM, and weekends.

So, I'm curious what tips some of the fastlaners might have who have been through this before - whether books, specific habits, actions, etc to stay healthy, especially while going through the stresses of operating a business.

I recommend looking into Jocko Willink especially his book Discipline Equals Freedom Field Manual. That guy is just pure raw aggression, strength, toughness, etc.

Personally I wake up and head to the gym to workout before the sun rises to get that out of the way. Also avoid sugars and grains like the plague, they make you feel sluggish.

I was able to lose a substantial amount of weight and build muscle with these steps:

1. Develop a "why"
2. Find out your BMR
3. Eat slightly under your BMR in calories (if your goal is to lose fat and get leaner)
4. Find a food tracking app or website
5. Buy a food scale and have access to a scale to weigh yourself. (weigh yourself weekly to see how your weight fluctuates, then make adjustments)
6. Eat more proteins and fiber. But also eat balanced meals. Make sure you eat a diverse diet.
7. Ignore ignorant friends/family/people and be prepared for some to get envious and overtly or subtly try to sabotage your achievements.
8. Find eating habits and activity habits that you can sustain and think of these as long term/life long habits.
9. There are no shortcuts. Everything is about small changes done over a period of time. So, consistency is key.
10. Find people who are also into fitness and hang out with them whether in person or online.
