What is going on, everyone? Welcome to another episode of the fit, healthy, and most of all happy

podcast. I'm your coach and host Josh here with his co-host and co-coach KG and I'm in the house.

And we're coming at you with another episode of the crowd favorite, the mailbox Monday, well,

sorry, the motivation Monday. I'm slipping up there. You know, we started with it being mailbox Monday because we the motivation Monday I'm slipping up there you know we

started with it being mailbox Monday because we answer your questions in this episode but we realized

it was so much more than that it was about getting some motivation some inspiration as well some

education to go into that week you know we believe that when you have those three things paired

together you're really unstoppable you're fired up you're revved up and you're ready to tackle some big things. And we have some incredible questions to jump into. But as always, before we get into that, we're going to jump into our quotes. And I'm actually going to start right here. And the reason I want to start is I actually have those recommended from one of my clients. And I love that she shared this in me in particular

because I'm going to read the quote and then I'm going to explain. So my quote for this week is

most people don't want to hear that thing that will make it work better. They want to hear what

will make it work easier. And this quote is just so perfect because I think there's two different

ways to look at it, right? Like better and

easier, it's tough because there are easier ways to do things. Things don't need to be inherently hard or difficult or, you know, there are smarter ways to do it. Like I'm sure we've all heard work smarter or not harder. And that is something that always holds true, right? But at the same time, a lot of the time, the solution is right in front

of our face, you know, and it's right there, but people want to look for that next thing. It's like, you know, why am I not seeing results? And in particular, this client that shared it with me, the reason I loved it is like, you know, she was saying a bunch of things and, you know, she was just trying to get the best of loss possible.

And I challenged her, you know, I gave her a little bit of tough love.

And I said, listen, we need to dial in the basics.

You know, she was just trying to get the best of all possible. And I challenged her, you know, I gave her a little bit of tough love and I said, listen, we need to dial in the basics.

You know, she was overlooking her protein at the time as well as, you know, the importance of just being consistent with the calories without having really high days. And then, you know, she's like, okay, I'll give it a shot. A week later, you know, we had our best week of the whole program.

And then from there, we'd just been winning, winning, winning, winning more and more.

And things have really. like, okay, I'll give it a shot. A week later, you know, we had our best week of the whole program.

And then from there, we'd just been winning, winning, winning, winning more and more. And things have really clicked more than ever. And, you know, more and more I found myself, you know, especially with my client saying, listen, I know, you want to think about that high level thing. You know, there's really high end complex things, you know, because it's easier to kind to think maybe if if I just change one really weird factor, it'll make everything better. But, you know, that's not how it works. Sometimes it's about those basics, hitting that protein, you know, having a consistent diet, getting to the gym, doing like, you know, all your accountability mechanisms on time. Like, all these things feed together to generate some amazing results. And I love this quote so much so because, you know, I even gave myself this own advice. You know, I'm like, how can I revamp my personal journey going into summer? How can I level up more and more? And like, this was going to be my thoughts for the week. But, you know, personally I'm like, you know, I have so many great things. Like, let's just go back to the dead basics and look at how I can do all those things great. So even this week, you know, I'm just challenging myself. I'm in a My Fitness Pile competition with my friend or not my fitness file. Apple Watch, you know, because I find that just some good background accountability for me. I'm just going to nail 10,000 steps. I made myself a great program. I got back on a dedicated strength regimen thing. I'm doing five by five right now.

Then I'm going to nail 10,000 steps. I made myself a great program. I got back on a dedicated
