The problem: you want to lose 20 lbs. The solution: calorie deficit (pre-prepped meals) strength training & cardio (group class at the gym 3 days/week). The solution is simple. But if you haven’t mastered the skills to keep you there, what is going to happen when you’re at a restaurant and don’t have your prepared meal in front of you? Or your cardio class at the gym got canceled at the last minute? You’ll fall off. Long Term fitness success is all about building your toolbox of skills so that you can stay on track no matter what life throws at you.
