Personal Training: Nutrition Help

Most people know what to eat for a day, that’s usually not the problem. The hard part is staying consistent when life gets busy, stress hits, or the initial excitement of “starting fresh” fades.

One of my clients struggled with this exact thing. She’d meal prep for a week, eat accordingly Monday through Friday, then fall off track over the weekend. Every Monday, she felt like she was starting over.

She didn't need a new plan or another set of rules, we needed to focused on accountability and building the habit. Here’s what that looked like:

• Check-ins: I asked her to send me a short text each night with how her nutrition went that day. Not for judgment but for awareness.
• Weekly adjustments: In her last session of the week, we reviewed what worked well and where some sticking points came up, then made any small changes each as needed. Sometimes it was packing snacks for long workdays. Other times, it was reiterating to adding protein, eat breakfast, or how prepping ahead of time would make things easier.
• No all-or-nothing mindset: The goal wasn’t to be perfect; it was to keep moving forward. When she missed the mark, we looked at what led up to it and how to handle it next time that issue in the future.

After a few weeks, she wasn’t just “following a plan.” She was learning how to manage real-life nutrition, during vacations, late nights, and stressful days included.

Accountability doesn’t mean pressure. It means support, structure, and a reminder that progress is about consistency, not perfection. We are huge on building habits so we can eventually make something feel like a natural process. Changing perspective on how to make nutrition work for you takes time.

That’s what coaching does. It keeps you engaged long enough to build habits that actually stick so you don’t feel like you're starting over every Monday.
