Set clear goals and work backwards
An important habit to create when you are trying to lose weight is increasing your awareness.
This skill can and should be applied to everything you do in life.
Increasing your awareness allows you to understand where you are at.
It allows you to compare it to where it is you are trying to go.
When it comes to creating sustainable fat loss we need to increase our awareness in some specific places.
Movement
Nutrition
Sleep/rest
Stress
When starting your journey you will most likely not know where you stand or you’ll try and think really hard about each one try and answer it for yourself and then move on with your day and that’s OK.
But in order to increase our awareness we need a daily call to awareness. (SHREDS Report)
