If I wanted to lose 10-20 pounds between now and summer, here’s exactly what I would do.
First, I would eliminate any chance of backing out by hiring a coach. Yes, even though I know what to do, I would still invest in personal training and nutrition coaching. Why? Because accountability is key. I still hire coaches to help me in areas where I want to improve, and this would be no different. To ensure my commitment, I’d pay upfront—removing the option to quit.
Next, I would follow my coach’s guidance to the letter. No second-guessing, no half-measures—just execution.
Daily Habits for Success:
- Start each morning with a glass of water and a high-protein breakfast—at least 30 grams of protein. My nutrition coach would be invaluable in helping me fine-tune this.
- Strength train at least 3 times per week. My personal trainer would be there to make sure I show up!
- Stay active on non-gym days. Whether it’s a long walk, an at-home workout, or just keeping busy around the house, movement would be non-negotiable.
- Cut out (or drastically reduce) alcohol and calorie-containing drinks. Liquid calories add up fast and offer little nutritional value.
- Prioritize whole foods, especially protein. My nutrition coach would remind me of this constantly, and I’d make sure to follow through.
If I stuck to these simple strategies, I have no doubt I’d reach my goal by summer. And yes—this process is simple. But simple doesn’t mean easy. The hardest part is staying consistent, which is exactly why I’d hire a coach—to hold me accountable and ensure I follow through.
The truth is, most of us know what to do. But without accountability, sticking to it becomes the real challenge.
So, if you’re serious about hitting your goals this summer, ask yourself—who’s holding you accountable?
