    I've really appreciated your videos. I'm a truck driver who spends nearly 11 hours a day sitting behind the wheel of a truck, and I've managed to lose 15 lbs by being consistent with taking my calories and giving myself grace to have some bad days on my journey. Like today, I'm feeling a lot of emotion from my grandfather passing away a few days ago. I allowed myself to go over my calories by a small bag of cheetos and a Pepsi today, knowing I'll be right back on track tomorrow. Thanks again for the motivation!

      A bag of cheetos and a pepsi. Thats the diet of a loser. If youre gonna cheat at least have something substantial like a burger or nuggets, something with protein.

    I signed up for a workout app and also took a walk today! I have also been eating a salad 2-3x a week for my work lunch. I have already lost a little weight just from that. Now I have to cook more healthy meals and be more consistent on my workouts.

    I work out, but then spend 2 or 3 days sore, so I wait, and often that rest period throws me off track and I become sedentary. This inspires me to keep going and to make it a priority

    Literally watching this as I workout for one of the first times in MONTHS. I went from a 5-6x a week workout plan to maybe one workout every 3 weeks. Such a nice reminder that showing up and doing something, even if it’s not where you once were, is important and valuable.

    I am watching this video on 20/12/2023 here in India. I have been going to the gym for 3-4 years now but irregularly and whenever there’s a break due to unavoidable reasons, I tend to make that break bigger than it is supposed to be because of fear of not being able to perform at pre-break capabilities. Also, I have been trying to learn web development these past 6 months as to ease off some financial burden on my mother but due to my day job, the learning has not been consistent. BUT THIS CHANGES NOW. I will come back to this video exactly one year from now and give an update on my physical health and on my professional career. I will try to remember the droplet analogy whenever I will feel like quitting. See you all next year!

  • @jennifergung4310
    @jennifergung4310 Год назад +1

    I almost never finish an exercise program, and used to speak down on myself for it. Then I changed the perspective. It's not that I'm not consistent it is however knowing I'm always doing one and is actually consistent eventhough changing!

  • @paulinebarker6938
    @paulinebarker6938 Год назад +3

    Thank you! I really needed to hear this. I want to lose 3 stone. This year I've lost 10lbs. I think that's good. But when I tell people I see the "Is that all?" face. But I used to binge and then starve myself. Or binge when my weight went up. This year with your help I have overeaten on holiday, when Ill or upset. But the next day I've got back on track. So I feel like I've made a HUGE change. Thank you, you've changed my life. ❤

    As a serial fitness routine starter and quitter, this was very relevant and the kick in the pants I needed to get going and keep going! I’ve been working to overcome the “if I can’t be perfect, why even try” mindset in fitness and nutrition. Your videos and instagram account have been super helpful with that. Thanks Jordan!

    The visual with the eye drops and wine glass was so helpful! I definitely struggle with the feeling that “I don’t notice any progress so it must not be working” mentality but the visual was so helpful and I will keep thinking about that as I work for consistency in nutrition and working out!

    I got introduced to this channel so randomly, when you began this journey with Alyssa and it has been MONUMENTAL for me. For someone who is also on a fitness journey, but doing it on my own, it felt so comforting to know im not alone with doubting myself, wondering if I'm doung things correctly, getting emotional about the scale fluctuations etc etc. This has given me such a perspective shift. Thank you both!

  • @msadams224
    @msadams224 Год назад +2

    It sounds simple (but not easy) …. but one of the biggest things for me in finding consistency was learning how to "do it anyway," or like Nike says "just do it." Working with a trainer got me the accountability to show up even though I really didn't want to go, but you could always meet up with friends, put it on your calendar, or white knuckle your way through. For me, I would cancel on myself but NEVER on someone else, so I used that to my advantage. After about 4-5 times of "doing it anyway," it got easier and easier to just go and get it done when I didn't want to. This definitely plays into Jordan's concept that ACTION comes first, THEN MOTIVATION. I know it's hard, but fight through enough and it gets easier! Keep that ball rolling.

  • @MadFWalk

Still working with doctors figuring out exactly what and why, I have developed massive inflammation and get around by using crutches .Watching your videos helps me and finally finding something to help me move. It is not my favorite but biking has allowed me to not be in much pain and keep me going. Thank you for what you do.

    Your breakdown of the “why” and brutal honesty I find really motivating. Also the comments on this video give me confidence that I’m not alone in my battle to be healthy consistently! Working on giving myself grace when things get hectic and I fall off the healthy lifestyle, the wine glass visual was great in reminding that a few “bad” days is ok if it’s limited to days. Thanks for more great advice and content!

    I really needed this. I didn’t watch the video right away because of the holidays but marked it to watch. So glad I did. Been fighting multiple joint issues (both shoulders, both hips and one ankle) which makes me just want to quit. You reminded me that even with pain I can still move I just have to do it differently and the movement will help in the long run.

    Got back to working out after 5 years and injured my knee. I didn't know how to modify my workouts so I just stopped going back and I feel awful because you can actually feel your body getting stronger and then after an injury, it's easy to get into the mindset of 'oh well, im screwed now' . But you're right, those are just excuses!! Thanks Jordan.

    Thank you so much you can’t imagine how you changed my life
    I have always exercised and ate healthy very careful to not eat junk food i gained 20lb within 2 years and didn’t know what is happening
    You are right I never counted calories in my life I used your calculator and followed that recommended calorie and lost 11lb in 68days it’s insane and it’s not too low Iam not hungry at all
    Just cut down on my olive oil intake never measured just poured it
    500 calories only from that
    I just appreciate you so much thank you .
