1. Believing cravings are a willpower problem when they are really a data problem.<br>2. Focusing on calories in/out over macros.<br>3. Not valuing NEAT.<br>4. Stressing eating clean over balance.<br>5. Using workouts to punish what I ate. And/or not having a performance goal.<br>6. Not recognizing the strength to cardio continuum.<br>7. Outrunning exhaustion with caffeine.<br>8. Overcorrecting instead of moving forward.<br>9. Sticking with what used to work.

"Maintaining is a win" was something I needed to hear!!
@chelseatruttmann9956 · 4 months ago
This is all so true. I just did a body recomp over 12 weeks. Ended at around 13% bf. 1500 calories. Now reversing out adding 100 calories a week. No crazy cardio. Im maintaining my weight easily AND im still getting in halo top and other fun foods in moderation tracked in my macros

WHEN I bartended and cocktailed i was super lean. I workouted too. Now that i work from home on the computer, often in bed, still working out, ive gained 15 pounds. I even added several miles of walking in daily with my dogs. But that still doesn’t compare to 8 hours on my feet, nonstop walking moving. Get a job that makes your body move, and dont eat fast food and shitty food after your shifts just because you’re tired. Also dont drink a bunch of alcohol to “wind down after work.” That disrupts EVERYTHING

Lots of good points here! The main one that hit home for me was "things that used to work aren't working anymore." Up until menopause (even in perimenopause years), the same types of workouts and same meal plan worked just fine. But several years into menopause, things really changed for me!<br>I started HRT about a year ago, and it has helped immensely, but I still don't have as much energy as I had when I was younger. I have found I need more recovery from workouts, and I have needed to increase my protein intake quite a bit from how I used to eat. I'm now at a place where I feel like my fitness and nutrition are working for me again, after making some changes.

Cori you are a gem. I make all of them and am on the road to rectifying them, but I thank you for helping me to identify them first.

Great lessons! A big lesson I learned is that if you're not making consistent progress, it's not a personal failure, it's just not working. Switch until you find something that does. I've had to learn this lesson over and over again.
