When your results are taking forever!! 😩😩

Let’s say you’re following a proven plan to get the results you want. Except you feel like you aren’t getting those results!

 What should you do if that happens? 

It can be so tempting to push even HARDER into your plan by cutting things out of it or changing it up … 

…. or to start all over again with a completely different plan that your coworker or friend can’t stop raving about.

I’ve got THREE THINGS to check before you take any action!

First: Are you really SURE you aren’t getting results? [For example, if you are working towards losing weight but the scale hasn’t moved … know there are other methods to track your results beyond the scale, like your bodyfat% or skeletal muscle, how your clothes fit, or my favorite progress pictures. Our bodies are finicky and don’t always respond in a straight-line manner.]

Second: Have you given your plan enough time to work? [Especially for women, it can take a week or two for the results to kick in.] 

We have been programmed by reality TV (and a little social media) to expect instant and dramatic results, but the reality is, that’s not a healthy or sustainable approach.

The goal is to get results you can maintain for a lifetime, right? Those take a little time.

OK, so now for the third tip, which could be the most important. 

Ask yourself … 

Are you REALLY following your plan? By that I mean, are you switching things up or making adjustments here and there? 

This is a really common issue and it can quickly stall your progress. 

Do a review and make sure your actions align with your plan .. and then if you need to, readjust!

OK … so let’s say it’s been 2 or 3 weeks and you’ve been following the plan and you’ve gotten NO RESULTS. 

What should you do?

First, if you have a coach, definitely work with them on all of this.

Because this is when you should think about changing ONE THING in your plan to help nudge your results along!

What that thing is, depends on you and your particular goals. If you change too many things all at once, you won’t know what actually made the difference!

And then give it a week to see the changes. 

And then you just keep repeating.

This process can help you over the long-run because it helps you create real, healthy habits that will help you maintain all those hard-earned results!
