Welcome to RESET week.
This is the perfect thing to do post holiday …or if you just need a reset / kick up the bum!
Aim: reset routine and imbed strong habits.
This is a week where its discipline over flexibility (you will rarely hear me say that).
This week is not about balance.
It’s a ‘re-setting the standards you expect of yourself’ for a week.
No excuses are allowed in the reset week. You are capable of more than you think and sometimes you need to remind yourself of this. That is what this week is about.
This is why it’s important to set realistic targets…or in other words not to make promises to yourself that you can’t keep.
HERE’S THE PLAN:
I am have made this very simple.
There are just 6 rules.
Stick to them exactly and don’t deviate from them for best results.
1) Start the day you get back from holiday - no putting it off. Doesn’t matter if its a Friday. Do not wait until Monday!! and if you are doing this as a reset (not post holiday) START TODAY.
2) Do not weigh yourself until day 7.
If you have been traveling and eating rich and salty foods then you will likely see your scale weight increase this is not a good representation of body composition or fat gain so don’t bother looking just get straight back on track.
3) DISCIPLINE - these are 7 days of discipline this isn’t about flexibility.
7 days of no excuses means you set a high standard and the flexibility of normal life after is much easier.
4) WIN THE WEEK -
Use clear range targets (& aim for the optimal side.
Set these for:
Morning routine
Steps
EXERCISE min every other day
Calorie range if tracking (I would recommend you do this just for 7 days even if you don’t usually if not, use the 3:1 method)
Bed time and wake time.
5) Eat ‘clean’ & cut alcohol
Not something you will see me suggest a lot but if you’ve been having a lot of very rich food & drinking on holiday its time to cut that for at least a week. You will feel a tonne better for it.
Build your meals around a protein source and lots of veg, fruit as snacks and keep treats to a minimum this week. You will find you reset your taste too.
6) Check in here on day 7.
When you fully commit to the rest week. It works exceptionally well - I have tested this with myself whenever I need a kick and with 100s of clients.

I will speak to you at the end of the 7 days - lets get to work!
