1 00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:04,880 Speaker 1: Hi, and welcome back to bounce forward with me, Tipul. 2 00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,240 Speaker 1: I'd like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land 3 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 1: of which I'm recording this podcast. There we're one hundred 4 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 1: people of the Cooler Nation. I pay my respects to 5 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 1: elders past and present, Alex d and me tip I 6 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,599 Speaker 1: get so mad at myself when I miss a few 7 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 1: days of the gym. I feel like I get into 8 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 1: a great ongoing routine. Then something comes up at work, 9 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,640 Speaker 1: or I get sick or too busy, and I take 10 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: a break, and I find it so much harder getting 11 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,519 Speaker 1: back into the swing of things again. How do you 12 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: keep the momentum going when you have to take breaks? 13 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 1: This is such a great question. As women, we have 14 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 1: a lot going on. You know, you might get sick, 15 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: you might have a busy period at work, the kids 16 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 1: might get sick, or everyone's sick at once, and then 17 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: you might throw in a period or some hormonal changes, 18 00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: and there is so much going on with your train. 19 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: So you really do need to be kind to yourself 20 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 1: at this at this time and not beat yourself up 21 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: for missing time in the gym. I always like to 22 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 1: remind myself that there's a lot of pressure on habits 23 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: and habit forming and motivation to get us through. But 24 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 1: I like to focus on momentum. And I always say 25 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 1: to myself after a long break, Okay, you're just going 26 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 1: to get started and then you're going to do something 27 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: every day and build momentum and it just carries you through. 28 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 1: It gives you the energy and the drive that carries 29 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: you through with that consistency, rather than relying on motivation 30 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: which never shows up when you need it. It's really 31 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: it really comes and it goes, and it's not it's 32 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: not a it's not great. So I love to one 33 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: do the three hour reset rule. This is one of 34 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: my favorite things because throughout the day you might miss 35 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: days or weeks because you're sick or busy schedules or 36 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: kids are sick. But throughout the day we have little 37 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 1: setbacks all the time, and these little setbacks inform whether 38 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: we do things or not, like go to the gym 39 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,839 Speaker 1: or eat a healthy meal. So for example, you might 40 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,079 Speaker 1: wake up with the intention to go to the gym, 41 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: but you might sleep through your alarm, or you might 42 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: not have the healthy breakfast that you intended to have. 43 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: You might have grabbed a muffin and a coffee on 44 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: the way to work instead, and then you know you 45 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: might have gone out to lunch with some colleagues and 46 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: then not eaten as healthy as you wanted, and all 47 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's a cascading effect of just not 48 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: getting there because I've already stuffed the day, I might 49 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: as well not go. It's the all or nothing attitude 50 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: that creeps in. Whereas if you have the three hour 51 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: reset rule and you treat every three hours as a 52 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: brand new day, you're never stuffing up. So it's like 53 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: you sleep through your alarm. But three hours later it's 54 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 1: a three hours reset and it's like, Okay, I slipped 55 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: through my alarm, but maybe I can go to the 56 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 1: gym after work. I'm going to still have a healthy breakfast. 57 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: You know. It's about reframing that all or nothing attitude, 58 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: and I find it really works for me psychologically, and 59 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,079 Speaker 1: I hope that you find some help with it too. 60 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 1: But I have been using it for years and many 61 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: people say the three hour reset rule has saved them. 62 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: Then I always say that you need to acknowledge the setback. 63 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: You need to accept the setbacks a normal They're a 64 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: part of life. And they're a huge part of the 65 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: fitness journey. You know, recognize what caused the setback without 66 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: being too hard on yourself, and have that self compassion 67 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: and that love and say, listen, I was sick, I 68 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: was run down. I couldn't help that. I didn't ask 69 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: to get sick. Or I've hit a busy patch at work. Priorities. 70 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: I've got to head down give my all to work 71 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: at the moment. But you know, I will come up 72 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: for air and I will reset just about priorities and 73 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: definitely having that self compassion. I know when my kids 74 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: get sick, it can be so frustrating because you're up 75 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: all night with them being sick, and then they're home 76 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: from school all day and then you can't get any 77 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: work done. I can't exercise because I'm looking after them. 78 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: And it's just like that complete surrender of waving a 79 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,919 Speaker 1: white flag and saying I accept this setback. It's a 80 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: normal part of the fitness journey. I will restart again 81 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: next week or set that date. Success isn't linear, and 82 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: you know, a wonderful pre and post natal expert, Brooke Turner, 83 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 1: did say that you have forever to find your fitness, 84 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,239 Speaker 1: so you know it is. It is a journey. It's 85 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: not that you have to be fit by a certain 86 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: time or you have to be strong. There's no pressure there, 87 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: you know, you take that pressure off as you're returning. 88 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 1: I think that you need to reassess your goals and 89 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 1: set achievable short term objectives that lead you to that 90 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 1: those long term goals. You might have had a goal 91 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: to maybe lose a kilo, or maybe it was a 92 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 1: PB with your bench press, or maybe you really wanted to, 93 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: you know, run five hundred meters on the treadmill, like 94 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: whatever your PB or your goal was in the gym, 95 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: reassess that goal. You're not going to set your alarm 96 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: the next day after being sick for ages and get 97 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 1: out of bed and then go and nail that PB. 98 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,239 Speaker 1: You have to reassess. You have to pull it back 99 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: and say, you know what, it's a first day back 100 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,799 Speaker 1: after some time off. I'm going to take it really 101 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: easy and I'm just going to do twenty minutes brisk 102 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 1: walking with a bit of incline, and then I'm going 103 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: to do ten push ups three rounds, and that's my session. 104 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: Really simple, not overthink it, and you know, just reassess 105 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: those goals, and then I'd say, you've got to focus 106 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: on the positive. Reflect on pass success and progress. Remember 107 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: the benefits you've gained from staying active, such as improved mood, 108 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: your energy levels skyrocketing, your overall health improving. And then 109 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: you're looking at these successes and progress and all of 110 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: a sudden, you're like, I can't wait to get back 111 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: into the gym. So it's really motivating for me. Sometimes 112 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: I look at all photos of when I was really fit, 113 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: or I'll think back to you know, I got sixty 114 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: kilos on my chest press or something like that, and 115 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: working on my strength at that moment, or maybe I 116 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: was able to run seven k's and how great that 117 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:39,239 Speaker 1: made me feel. Don't be devo that that's not you now, 118 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 1: but it's in you. You've done it, So reflect on 119 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: those successes and the progress. Then it's really important that 120 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: you create a plan. So develop a really clear, actionable 121 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,919 Speaker 1: plan to get you back on track. Outline specific steps 122 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: that you're going to take, such as adjusting your workout team, 123 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: modifying it, or scheduling exercise sessions in your diary. Lock 124 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 1: them in so you can see it amongst all the 125 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: other stuff that you have to do and with that 126 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: workout routine, don't just write exercise right like, Okay, today, 127 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: I'm going to do buys and shoulders and a little 128 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: bit of cardio. Wednesday I might do a full body 129 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: workout with a little bit of cardio. Like what is 130 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: your plan, Like, what is your overall plan going to be? 131 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: And on specific days, allocate that type of exercise. It 132 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: may be a recovery, stretching, mobility session. It might be 133 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: a fitness class, it might be a boot camp. You 134 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: might be doing a run club. Like, just allocate it 135 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: and be specific. Okay, because a lot of people come 136 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: to me all the time with wanting to get to goals, 137 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: wanting to do things, and the only thing that's missing 138 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: is they're just not specific enough. So do that next. 139 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: Seek some support on friends, family, your fitness communities, online, 140 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: wherever you find your motivation, and say, hey, I've been 141 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: out of the game. I want to get back in. 142 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: Can you come with me for my first run. We'll 143 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: just do three k's, a little warm up, cool down, 144 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: make me accountable, please show up or come to that 145 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: fitness class that Lesmil's body pump or you know, or 146 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: I'm going to press play on a home workout at 147 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: seven o'clock on Wednesday. I'm going to send you a 148 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: selfie of my sweaty phase after I've done it, and 149 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: you're going to accept that text and be like, well done. Okay, 150 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: So you're going to be in my accountability buddy, like 151 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: make yourself accountable to somebody and lean on that support. 152 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 1: You really do need it, and especially when you've had 153 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,719 Speaker 1: a long break, I find that's really important. Next, if 154 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: you want to, you can change up your routine. That 155 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:59,199 Speaker 1: can be really helpful. And trying new exercises, new classes, 156 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: new activity to reignite that enthusiasm can be a good 157 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: place to start. So for me, if I've had a 158 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 1: long break, I'll usually instead of just going for a 159 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: run or something, I'll look at the Mytiso app and 160 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: there's everything and I'll think, you know what, I'm gonna 161 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: do a dance class. I'm going do a dance class 162 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: for twenty minutes just to get a bit of a 163 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: sweat on, get my body moving and to take the 164 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: fear out of it and go, oh, that wasn't too hard. 165 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: And then I might do like a strength session but 166 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: make it hit and bit of fun and then you know, 167 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,959 Speaker 1: before I know it. I'm out running again and back 168 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: to my usual routine, but you just sometimes need to 169 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: break it short circuit it, do something a little bit different. 170 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: Fitness classes are great because you can pick and choose 171 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: and do anything, and then you want to really celebrate 172 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: those small wins, So acknowledge and reward yourself for anything small, 173 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: all those small accomplishments. This helps in maintaining that motivation 174 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 1: and building that momentum. So you know, if you woke 175 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: up early, you got there to the gym three times 176 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,319 Speaker 1: a week, or maybe you press play on a home 177 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: workout four times a week, celebrate. Maybe that means you 178 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: do uber eats, you know, on a Saturday night and 179 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 1: have a night in with movie marathon or something. And 180 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: as you're getting back into it, start tracking your progress 181 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 1: because using an app or a journal or something to 182 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 1: monitor your workouts and your progress, you'll start to see 183 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 1: tangible evidence of all of those improvements, and then that 184 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: boosts motivation. So everything I'm talking about today is about 185 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 1: boosting motivation, so you don't have to rely on it. 186 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: It's really important. You want to definitely, as I've said, 187 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 1: practice that self compassion and be kind to yourself about 188 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: setbacks and engage in that self care and remind yourself 189 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: of why why are you? Why are you even interested 190 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: in doing a fitness journey anyway, whether it's a better health, 191 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: more energy improvemntal wellbeing, what is your big why? And 192 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: reconnecting with your motivation can really reignite your driver as well. 193 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 1: And then you know, if you're really struggling to get 194 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: back into it after a patch of going mia on 195 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: the gym or something, seek professional guidance, find a coach, 196 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: an online trainer, do a one off session. I do 197 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 1: this all the time. So I get on Instagram or 198 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: I look around, I do my research and I find 199 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: a trainer that I think is phenomenal, and then I'll 200 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: just book in for a RANDO session, just a one session, 201 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 1: and they'll teach me something new and I'll go, oh 202 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: my god, that is such an awesome sexy movement. I'm 203 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: going to integrate that into all of my training. I'm 204 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: going to, you know, and I get a new program 205 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: and I'm going to start doing it. I've done calisthenics, gymnastics, 206 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 1: I'm diving, I've done ballet anything. I've gone out and 207 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: done all these different kinds of sports. And movements and 208 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: different types of mixed martial arts. Also that I can 209 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: learn some cool stuff to reignite my passion for movement. 210 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 1: And it's remember it doesn't have to be a slog 211 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: every single day doing the same thing, because that doesn't work. 212 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 1: That doesn't bring out results anyway. If you're thinking to yourself, 213 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: if only I could run five k's a day, that 214 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: is not going to bring results anyway. You've got to 215 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:22,839 Speaker 1: mix it up. You've got to have a bit of 216 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: strength training. You've got to have a bit of cardio, 217 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 1: a bit of mobility, you know, a bit of flexibility. 218 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: You know, you've got to work all around the pillars 219 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: of fitness, speed, agility, coordination. You've got to work at all. 220 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: So you don't want to get stuck in the right 221 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: anyway and finding some online or in real life inspiration. 222 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: Sometimes I download a great program off the internet and 223 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,719 Speaker 1: I just go and do it, and I think that 224 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: really brought something new to my training and I had 225 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: fun doing it. I'm going to do this for a bit. 226 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: I don't know, but these are a few strategies and 227 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: few tricks and hacks that work for me. I hope 228 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: they work for you and you know, remember the three 229 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 1: hour reset rule because it doesn't only work for exercise, 230 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: it also works for food because you know that all 231 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: or nothing mentality with food is really a big trap. 232 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: And if you have a chocolate bickie for morning tea 233 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 1: and then you think, oh no, I've stuffed the entire day, 234 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: then you can just reset. Every three hours is a 235 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 1: brand new day, and you just get back healthy lunch 236 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: and it's like it never happened. It's better than having 237 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: another Tim Tam snacking throughout the day, eating sugar at 238 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 1: three pm with a coffee because you're dying and you've 239 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 1: got no energy, and then having you know, some takeaway 240 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: food for dinner because you couldn't be bothered because you've 241 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 1: already stuffed the day, and then the bad day turns 242 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: into a bad week and then you just lose control. 243 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 1: It just stops that all or nothing attitude, which is 244 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: just so important. So thank you for a great question, 245 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 1: and I hope that helped. Thanks so much for listening 246 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 1: to Bounce Forward.
