Scheduling and routine is such an underrated factor in weight loss

Seriously, habits are so key. I lost 25 pounds in 4 months with the help of consistency but as soon as there was a shift in my schedule and I no longer had my safety net, I gained 15 pounds back in 3 months.

I could see myself making unhealthy choices but my brain would argue and say “we spent months doing the right thing, we’re just taking a liiiiiittle break” and I would justify ordering that pizza, I’d justify having a few cookies after 10 pm. Luckily I stepped on the scale again after a hiatus of a few months and saw the number and wanted to hold myself accountable again. So I’m down 4 pounds from that but it sucks. I’ve already lost these pounds, I had already put the work in and seen the results and I let it go.

At least this is a lesson to me. My life isn’t a routine, it’s a life and there’s going to be variety and variance and I have to be disciplined enough to navigate those and make healthy choices. I refuse to let this be a yo-yo diet. I am in this for the long haul.

Accountability and consistency are key. Keeping yourself consistent in the face of inconsistencies is probably one of the most powerful and underrated disciplines you can have. Stick with it guys, don’t be too discouraged, and stay disciplined
