We often hear about all the latest & greatest tips & tricks to losing weight and getting fit - but in TODAY'S episode, Viv & Kate have decided to bring us all something a little bit different... What NOT to do on our fitness journeys! What to avoid is JUST as important as what TO do because if we are one of the lucky ones who haven't already made a dozen and one mistakes along our journey, we can learn from those who have already accumulated their own knowledge and wisdom on the things they wish they HADN'T done so we don't have to make the same mistakes, which is exactly what Viv & Kate want to bring us today! Grab your coffees guys & gals and let's get CHATTING! 

We've all heard the importance of nutrition in any fitness or weight loss journey, and luckily - FOOD is one of Viv & Kate's favorite topics to talk about! So today, they're diving into ALL of their very best tips on how to effectively hit your macro goals and general nutrition/dieting tips for those of us who are trying to watch our calorie intake and reach our fitness goals!

It's easy to believe that the reason most people can't stick to a fitness journey for longer than a few weeks is because they don't have the right diet or workout for them, but in reality - it truly boils down to ONE thing: The ability to maintain a POSITIVE attitude! What tends to happen is that for most, the results they are looking for are so incredibly slow or seemingly non-existent even though they FEEL like they're making the right changes in their life. As a result, because they become so focused on what's NOT going right in their journey (aka the lack of results or the slow changes) they talk themselves out of staying the course because they become so discouraged on all the things that they perceive are going 'wrong'. Well in TODAY's episode, Viv & Kate are here to talk about how vital it is to stay optimistic on your fitness journey and focus on what IS going right, because THAT is actually where the lifestyle and body you dream of are found: By staying consistent long-term, which is only possible when you choose to see the good and the positives consistently & long-term!
