If you live in the United States, tomorrow is about celebrating freedom and the power of choice. It’s about blowing stuff up, enjoying friends and family...and certainly eating and indulging in some “libations”. 🙌 • But if you have a physique and fitness goal, getting a little too “free” with your eating and drinking and “winging it" tomorrow may leave you feeling imprisoned, guilty...and anything BUT free. In fact, you might just end up blowing up your goals in the process...and you don’t want that. ❌ • Luckily, there is a way to navigate this successfully and still enjoy and indulge a bit. But, the caveat is, there have to be guardrails and boundaries established...and a certain mindset in place. If you go into tomorrow's festivities with a “plan while being off plan” and stick to some pre-determined limits...you can check the box at the end of the day as a win vs. a loss. ✔️ • You SHOULD enjoy the 4th and indulge a bit...but you have to set the limits as to what indulgence means. If you set a 3 drink limit, or a 1 hamburger limit, and you end up at 5 drinks and 2 burgers...that’s a fail. ❌ • BUT...If you are at 3 and 1 ?....WIN! 👊 • You can enjoy the 4th, not feel “icky” and bloated, and wake up on the 5th at peace knowing you made a contract with yourself and you followed through. This is how self esteem is developed. Sometimes success has to be re-defined....and the 4th is one of those days to do it. ✔️ • LBC Owner Erik Ledin has actually laid all this out for you and expanded on what I said above in a video I’ve linked to in our bio. Trust me, its worth the 10-minute watch and may just change the way you think about eating for your goals on holidays and vacations...FOREVER💪 • CHECK OUT THE VIDEO IN OUR BIO! 💯 • We’d love to get your feedback on the video.
