Eating real food isn’t “dieting.” Choosing fruit, veg, quality protein and fewer ultra-processed carbs is just mindful eating — not a red flag. We’ve normalised rubbish and labelled balance as extreme.
Running isn’t automatically better for fat loss than walking. Running burns calories but relies heavily on carbs and creates more fatigue, stress, and recovery cost. Walking sits in the fat-oxidation zone, is low stress, repeatable daily, and wins long term.
Every rep doesn’t have to be perfect. Yes, movements should be safe and controlled — but chasing PRs and high effort gets a little ugly sometimes. Adaptation happens when the body is challenged, not when you’re frozen by perfection.
You don’t need 4+ sessions a week to improve. Even 1–3 quality sessions done consistently beats an unrealistic plan you quit. Sustainability always wins.
Warming up is important. It prepares your joints, muscles, nervous system, and performance. Skipping it doesn’t save time — it costs results.
And finally… Christmas didn’t ruin you. Two festive weeks don’t undo a year of work — but using them as an excuse to stay stuck does.
Consistency > perfection.
Long term > extremes.
