In this episode, Alex and Meredith dive deep into the mindset and expectations around fitness and nutrition. They challenge the common phrase "I feel like I should..." and discuss why setting expectations of when you should see results could be hindering to your process. They emphasize the importance of relentless consistency, hard work, and embracing the process rather than focusing solely on end goals. They also talk about the importance of finding joy in your fitness journey, as well as identifying your “why” to keep pushing forward.— The Story of How We Met— Hard Work and No Results— “I Feel Like I Should…”— Letting Go of Your Ego— Learning to Have Patience— Accepting The Changes That Happen Over Time— Finding Joy in the Process— Finding Your “Why”Resources Mentioned in This Episode:· Wodapalooza Miami (https://wodapalooza.com/miami/)· Listen to Afternoon Snack: Our Take on Having Kids: Facing Societal Pressures & Making Your Own Decisions (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/afternoon-snack/id1511052873?i=1000641160843)· Listen to Afternoon Snack: The Five Pillars of Success: How They Can Help You Unlock Your Full Potential (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/afternoon-snack/id1511052873?i=1000639201272)· Read Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance by Angela Duckworth (https://bookshop.org/p/books/grit-the-power-of-passion-and-perseverance-angela-duckworth/6700116?ean=9781501111112)· Tactic Nutrition on Instagram: Slow Progress and Ready to Quit?
