JBP you know how to track macros and change your body composition - why did you need to hire coach?
Well after a year of surgeries & recoveries, set backs and depression I knew I needed help. I knew I wanted to hire my coach 9 months before we even started working together! I forecasted out when the best time to set my self up for success would be in my life - and we started our work together.
You see we all can use accountability - and someone who has even more expertise in areas we don't. I knew I needed to build muscle (yes even more than I had!) & I knew I had gained some body fat too. So I had a choice: build more muscle first (lean gains phase) or drop body fat first (calorie deficit phase). It is so easy for us to want to chose the get smaller phase first - but I knew muscle building was the right move and seasonally it made sense (hello New England winter!) Now as I enter the fat loss/calorie deficit phase I am excited to see how the hard work over the last 16 weeks in the gym will show up. But more importantly I am ready - ready to put in the work, the meal prep, the diligent tracking, the sleep, and the steps.
