You need to focus on what you can do today that will help you tomorrow Recovery is easy to neglect because it’s easier to keep pushing   I’m very productive in the time I allocate for business and everything is systemised, the entire business can run effectively without me Get clear on the things you should be saying yes to and better at saying no Looking good, staying healthy and weight loss don’t necessarily go hand in hand Fat loss is as simple as understanding that if you are in a calorific deficit, consuming fewer calories than you need, you are going to tap into stored fat and burn it as fuel. When you resistance train you boost your metabolic rate and burn more calories Resistance training is one of the most under-utilised ways to lose body fat Calories are really important to understand but there are a number of other factors that impact on weight loss If you are working to a calorie deficit and not losing weight look to see what maybe the  underlying issue You build confidence by consistently keeping promises to yourself but often the mistake made is to make the promise too big It’s the small consistent things we do over time that build confidence Learn to look at failure as feedback and make the changes needed to succeed There is a time for tough love and a time to be compassionate with yourself   BEST MOMENTS ‘There is a magic to be about early in the morning’ ‘Get better at saying no to things and your life will become considerably easier from that point on’ ‘I was lean and muscular but I definitely wasn’t healthy’   VALUABLE RESOURCES High Performance Health podcast series\ Transform your sleep DNA optimization High Performance website  Brian Keane Fitness   ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster   Angela is a Nutritionist, Health and Performance Coach.
