We have all heard the quote, “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” Well, it is the truth and none of us want to be failures.  If I told you all you had to do for the next 90 days to achieve your IdealShape was take 15 minute every night before bed and plan the next day… would you do it? Once you know what you should be doing, that’s really all it takes to become insanely successful with your exercise and nutrition programs.

Planning makes you accountable to both yourself and the weight loss expert you’re working with. Planning will give you a quick reference to your compliance with the designated program. For example, I teach all of my clients what they need to be doing with nutrition and have them plan and track their nutrition at dailyburn.com. When we weigh each week, if they aren’t seeing the success they want to, we jump on the computer and look at their diets to see what they’re doing. Because they are planning and tracking, I easily see what nutrition mistakes they are making and help them adjust.

Not too long ago I had a client come in who wasn’t losing weight as quickly as they wanted.  They said they were eating the designated amount of calories explained in the IdealShape eBook. So I said, “Let’s check out what you’re eating and when you are eating it.” We jumped on dailyburn and the problem was clear: they were eating a majority of their calories in one meal even though they were eating six meals a day. I made minor adjustments and got them planning proportionate meals every day. They lost four pounds the next week.

I couldn’t have made the changes to help this client achieve success if they weren’t planning and tracking. Get tips on foolproof tracking and planning here.
