Week 1 wasn't perfect, but it was progress.
I probably returned to football a little too early after my ankle injury, but I also got myself back into the gym and moving consistently again with a clear plan. For now, that means focusing on upper body strength while using my leg sessions for rehabilitation and recovery.
I also celebrated my birthday this week. I went go-karting (the ankle just about survived!) and enjoyed some great food with family and friends.
Has my nutrition been perfect? Not at all.
But it has been far more balanced than it was on holiday, and that's what matters. I'm not interested in extremes. I'm interested in building habits that I can actually maintain.
I'll always be a PT who enjoys good food. Life is there to be enjoyed. The difference is that I try to balance those moments with foods that give me energy, support recovery, and help rebuild muscleβthings like eggs, quality protein, fruit, and whole foods.
Fitness isn't about perfection.
It's about consistently making more good choices than bad ones and getting back on track when life happens.
