The Gourmet Muscle Burger

Happy New Year!

I hope you all had a fun packed festive period…I know i did. There’s something about just indulging and enjoying yourself in the final weeks of December, I believe it actually is necessary for you to get the best start possible in January because you grow increasingly unsettled at sitting in a food coma day in day out!

So it’s been 4 days since we hit 2016 and I wanted to give you a few reasons I believe people struggle to stay on track with their New Years resolutions after the first 2-3 weeks:

• They Go it Alone
• Unrealistic Expectations
• No Plan
• No Mentor
• Lack of Honesty
• Lack of Commitment

You see, building muscle and dropping bodyfat is HARD!

There’s no way to avoid hard work and when it comes to the early morning workouts, the workouts after a day at your job, juggling your kids to fit your meals in…it is so easy to give in to temptation and become lazy.

This is where I want you to give yourself a shake and remember WHY you want what you want.

One other reason I believe people find it tough to eat for purpose is LACK OF VARIETY.
