📣Outsource - to acquire goods or services from an outside party or contractor.📣
Recently, I have bought some pre-made meal prep meals from a local company where I live. I
have done this because despite knowing what I SHOULD be doing with my nutrition, I am lazy
and I don’t do it. I eat conveniently and sometimes it is not that nutritious. I know this is limitingmy progress and instead of just going “Oh well”. I have decided to outsource this part of my life(just for lunches for now) to a company who can provide me with healthy nutritious varied meals.
I struggled with accepting this because I always feel people will say don’t you have that
fancy masters that told you all about nutrition and why can’t you just cook meals for yourself? I
was embarrassed and ashamed.
I then sat and reflected on it and thought athletes, celebrities and other people outsource partsof their health and fitness journey to someone else who has 1) better knowledge of the area and2) is better set up to provide the service or goods required.
⚠️YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING YOURSELF. IT DOES NOT MAKE YOURWEIGHT-LOSS or MUSCLE GAIN JOURNEY ANY LESS IMPRESSIVE.⚠️
It is perfectly fine to outsource an area of your health and fitness journey to someone else just
like we use builders, hairdressers, beauticians, plumbers and electricians. We do this because
we know they are more experienced and more knowledgeable and they will do a better job than
we ever will.
We already do it in slightly more subtle ways such as we consume protein supplements to
ensure we are meeting protein requirements. We use youtube channels and social media to get
workout ideas from other fitness professionals.
Use a personal trainer, buy that programme, buy some meals, go book a sports massage, go
see a physio. Do what you need to do. You do not have to do it all alone. It doesn’t make it any
less amazing that you are taking control of your health and fitness and investing it!
