Febfast & Portion Size

Hi Team,

Welcome on board, Beth & Rob! Two-on-one training is a great way to reduce cost but to still get that extra push you don't get from yourselves and to have that guidance.

FebFast is here.... so far a handful of people have decided on what they will be giving up for the month. Remember, try and give up something you know that isn't that great for your body, whether it is alcohol, chocolate, sugar etc. Have a look at www.febfast.org.au to get information on the background and why we are doing it. It would be good if we can raise just a little bit of money towards the great cause! 

Festive Challenge - We are nearly there, the challengers are now weighing in to see how they went over the festive season and to see if they have made those changes they wished. Remember, there's no point looking back and wishing you had done more. 
Carpe Diem - Seize the day

Portion Size
 I had an interesting conversation with a client yesterday, she mentioned how changing her portion size made such a change to her diet and her body. She spent a few days measuring/weighing her food to get an understanding on what is meant but a serving and by doing so she was able to make a real change to her food/diet.

Things to think about:
1. Learn to read food/packaging Labels
2. Spend some time to measuring/weighing your meat/food. As much as I don't want you to be anal about the exact food size, by doing that for a few days, you'll be able to look at a piece of meat and realise how big it is and whether it's the right size for you. Most of you will be surprised that you're eating more than one serving at one sitting which is another reason the weight is so much harder to loose. Remember even if it is a salad, you still need to think about the portion size!
3. Use smaller plates
4. Don't pile the food up like a mountain

Remember, if you need help with your eating, don't hesitate to ask for help!

Group Sessions
Been a few weeks since we first started these sessions and so far they have been well received and all those that have been dedicated to these have really enjoyed the sessions. It's a great way to save some money but still work hard if you can't afford one-on-one or two-on-one training. % awesome ladies smashed it out for an hour today, well done team! Keep an eye out on this growing space!


That's all folks, have a wonderful weekend!
Train Hard, Eat Well, Rest Up
