It’s the end of our workouts for Week 4, and after hearing from a lot of you about your progress, I’ve been blown away at how hard you’re all working. Incredible.

Today we finish this chapter with Day 27: BALANCED. Your 3 transformers are Climb Push-Ups; Plank, OBL Trap; and Balanced Dips. Mindfulness is key on BALANCED days, because it’s all about making the most of this workout before your rest day and taking stock of the week you just finished. Ending your workout week in a positive headspace really helps you go into your rest day with a calm and positive mindset.

I also want to talk about “balanced” when it comes to nutrition. Above is a dinner out for me. It was mashed potatoes, Barramundi, asparagus with a cream sauce and fried capers, all with a lemon butter sauce. A few dietary restrictions for me are garlic, onions, dairy (so yes, butter) and coconut. I know… restaurants LOVEEEEE me :) But really, they are so used to allergies or food aversions these days, DO NOT HESITATE for a second to request a modification. I find quite often that what they come up with looks more delicious than the original menu item. Here’s what I ordered…. “I’ve love the Barramundi dish, sounds amazing, but I can’t have dairy…. and I prefer no starch, would you mind doubling the veggies instead?” I’d be wiling to pay extra, but it’s never come to that, they’re always happy to do this (and always look confused at the “more veggies” request. Clearly their clients aren’t doing 2B Mindset #veggiesmost). haha. Really, you’er paying for your meal and you want to enjoy it and go to bed with satisfaction, not regret or feeling sick. Another great tip Angela H shared with me is to request 1/2 your meal for takeaway as soon as it’s served. Out of sight, out of mind and then tomorrow you can enjoy it again! Best of both world!
