I’ve been extremely grateful to be a personal trainer in the St.Albert and St.Albert area. My clients are awesome and not matter what custom action plan we put forward each and everyone finds a sneaky way to create a habit that helps them get results. Over the years I’ve taken notes of all the little tricks they’ve used and come up with a list of real clients using sneaky tricks to get real results.
Here they are:
1. “I ask myself if I’m hungry enough to eat an apple, if I’m not then I find something else to do instead of eating. If I am, then I eat.” (Trish S.)
2. “When I have a craving to snack on wings or something crunchy at night I eat cauliflower and hot sauce and cucumber. It satisfies and defuses my appetite.” (Robin M.)
3. “I put 3 elastic bands on my water bottle, each time I complete one bottle I remove an elastic band.” (Emily S.)
4. “When I don’t feel like working out I make it a goal to put on my running shoes and fill up my water bottle, it usually ends up with at least a few minutes of exercise.” (Will H.)
5. “I keep a journal that records my little victories and what I’m grateful for every day, it gives me the mindset I need to take action.” (Erin H.)
6. “I created a new set of core values for my life. It’s my guiding light for the decisions I make especially when I catch myself in those internal conversations when chocolate is around.” (Chelsea W.)
7. “Instead of believing that I can’t do something I ask myself can I do that?” (Jen S.)
8. “When ever I make a mistake with my eating choices I think of it like I just made a poor investment, it’s makes no sense to put more money into it, just like it makes no sense to keep making poor food choices. Make the next meal a good investment.” (Cal R.)
