What's up everyone? Welcome to the fit, healthy, and happy podcast. I'm your host, Josh, here with my co-host. KG in the house. So this episode's a little late. We got a little bit confused with our timing. We just planned to film these Thursday. We realized we didn't have an episode out. But here we are. So we appreciate all the love, you know, people being like, oh, where's the episode? I wanted it for my drive or, you know, oh, I wanted it for my workout. Like it's cool, you know, we really appreciate it.

We feel loved and we apologize for it being learned. know, people being like, oh, where's that episode? I wanted it for my drive or, you know, oh, I wanted it for my workout.

Like, it's cool, you know, we really appreciate it. We feel loved and we apologize for it being late. This is very rare for us, but without further ado, we're going to get right into it since we're already behind. Kyle planned out a really fun episode, the top five tips on how to stay on track on nutrition. and why did you want to talk about this?

Yeah, I just want to talk about it

because right now I feel like

we've been talking a lot about

how to stay motivated,

how to stay on track on nutrition and why did you want to talk about this? Yeah, I just want to talk about it because right now I feel like we've been talking a lot about how to stay motivated, how to stay on track with your workouts, how to do body weight workouts, you know, how to make changes. And, you know, this can be utilized literally whether COVID-19 is taking place or whether you're just on a regular cut, bulk, whatever it is. These are our top five tips. A lot of you are at home though, and that's why I really wanted to

bring this up because I've been asked quite a few times over my client check-ins this past weekend was like, how do I stay on track? Like I'm struggling with my eating. You know, I'm at home all day and there's just so many different things to eat. Like, what do you recommend? And this is why we want to talk about it. So, you know, I asked Josh for feedback on his number one tip. And we're going to start with his because I believe this is probably the best one that will help every single one of you stay on track and reach your goals still. Yeah, so some really exciting news coming. We're going to be actually releasing a challenge on May 4th, a 60-day shred challenge that we're going to want everyone to take part of. You know, there's going to be more news to come with that soon. But right now we're prepping all the resources, getting everything ready, you know, building all the infrastructure around that. But, you know, to kind of get it started, we're starting a little bit earlier so we can document our process and have that all in sync with it, you know. So we're getting into our cut. We had a nice long phase of powerlifting. You know, we had a lot of fun, bulked up. You know, I was sitting at 210 for a while. I ended up coming up to about 221. But I'm ready to get my shred going for the summer. You know, I'm ready to tighten it up. And one of the big precursors to that is I was ready to, you know, cut my cows. I went from 3,600 to 28.

And I just made a rule that, you know, I'm going to be ironclad with those macros. I'm not going to cut any corners. I'm not going to quit. Like even I made my wallpaper, don't you dare quit. And, you know, with the point I'm at, it's tough because me and calm were like, oh, we're to look good, you know, we don't need to shred, but, you know, I think this challenge is going to be

grounding for me, especially because,

you know, with everything going on, to have something to work towards and hustle towards. And, you know, to have that focus is just so powerful. And that's why we want to open this up for everyone. So stay tuned to the podcast where YouTube, everything. there will be more info on how you can get signed up to get started with that.

It's going to be killer.

So my biggest thing is to have a goal and think about your why. And that's exactly like I just said, why we made this challenge. And more than anything for me, you know, even the other night, I was, I finished my food and I'm like, ooh, you know, I want to eat a little bit more.

I'm kind of hungry.

But I find the number one thing that will keep me consistent with anything, with my routine,

with whatever I do is to actually just think of the consequence of that action.

So by me eating just a little bit more, I'm basically derailing myself from my goals.

I'm putting myself a day behind.

I'm kind of giving myself that attitude of,

I can be one foot in, one foot out, and I'm therefore not just going to succeed. Instead, I thought, you know what, pain is temporary success is forever, as they like to say. And by winning that one day, it keeps me on track to go for my goals, wake up the next morning, boom, brand new day, I can eat whatever I want. So I just think having that very, you know,

realistic attitude, especially if you're someone who thinks very rationally. You know, for me, rational logic is kind of how I go about my thinking. So that's what I really resonate with. You know, I'm not as much of someone who's as much of an emotional thinker, more so rational. So to me, just being like, it's not worth it. You want to hit your goals. You're
