@iamtomnash Dude you’ve done an incredible job… let me help you take it to the next level… without sacrificing in your business or family… ps huge long time fan here btw 👊
I used to think I was unmotivated & unfocused⠀
⠀
Turns out I was just under-slept⠀
Under-fed on real foods ⠀
& over training.⠀
⠀
Fix the inputs & I guarantee you the outputs will multiply 🙏
Even as a coach, I used to completely lose control on weekends.⠀
And for a long time I told myself it was because I lacked discipline.⠀
⠀
It wasn’t.⠀
It was because of how I was eating Monday to Friday.⠀��
⠀
Yes you work 14 hour days..⠀
But be honest... How many of those hours are actually focused?⠀
Five? Six… on a good day?⠀
⠀
So you compensate...
Work longer then claim it's because you work across 3 time zones.⠀
The truth is you're tired ⠀
⠀
But if you had just a few simple but essential anchors nailed..⠀
Your nutrition, movement & sleep⠀
You could unlock a huge level of productivity ⠀
Then you can either use that to double your output⠀
OR you could spend that spare time with your loved ones ⠀
If you felt this.. good... I mean this with love and want better for you.⠀
Comment “ENERGY” and if you want me to share the framework I use with busy leaders.⠀

If you keep having weekend blowouts with food.. ⠀⠀
This might be why⠀⠀
⠀⠀
You never rest.⠀⠀
You never switch off.⠀⠀
You just 'push' through.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
For a while that works.⠀
Until life hits a little harder ⠀⠀
👉 Discipline was never the issue.⠀⠀
It was trying to constantly push all the time without ever planning recovery.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
The people who build balance long-term don’t avoid rest.⠀⠀
They respect it & make time for it.⠀⠀

Fat loss isn’t about eating less and moving more.⠀
It’s about 'protecting' muscle while you're reducing fat.⠀
⠀
That means:⠀
• Training optimally for your body⠀
• Eating quality nutrients... even in a 'deficit'⠀
• Creating a sensible calorie deficit.. not an aggressive one⠀
Remember when you started?⠀
The goal was never a lighter, weaker body was it? ⠀
⠀
You wanted a leaner, stronger one.⠀
⠀
THAT'S the goal!⠀
⠀

Stop celebrating weight loss if this is happening.⠀
Because the scale can reward the wrong behaviour ⠀
⠀
See... most people think the scale dropping means progress.⠀
But very often… it’s the 𝘸𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨 kind of weight loss. 👎⠀
Here are 3 signs you’re losing muscle, not fat:⠀
⠀
1⃣ Your strength is going backwards⠀
If the weights you used to lift feel heavier every week, that’s not just 'dieting'...⠀
Declining performance left unchecked.. means muscle loss is right round the corner.⠀
2⃣ You look smaller, flatter, and feel softer... not leaner⠀
Fat loss reveals shape.. So if you’re lighter but look less defined, that’s a red flag.⠀
3⃣ You’re tired all the time... not just after workouts⠀
Even when you train less.. Recovery and energy is still really slow.⠀
⠀
After 40, your margin for error is smaller.⠀
When calories are too low and recovery is under-supported,⠀
your body stops prioritising muscle.⠀
👉 Here’s the important bit that so many miss:⠀
⠀
2026 is here... ⠀
But will it be the same goals and stop–start routines like the past?⠀
⠀
👉 Here’s the no-BS way to build health into your life:⠀
from someone who works 60+ hours a week.⠀
1) Reduce the bar.⠀
No, it isn’t a downgrade.⠀
It actually has the opposite effect.⠀
⠀
If your plan ONLY works on your best days... it’s already broken.⠀
Aim for the minimum effective version that you can see yourself repeating consistently.⠀
⠀
⠀
3) Simplify Everything⠀
But especially your food.⠀
Pick a few go-to options that you can repeat on autopilot without thinking.⠀
⠀
I've been doing this a long time.. and lemme tell you⠀
most people don’t fail on nutrition because of willpower.⠀
They fail because they’re making 20 unnecessary decisions about what to eat.. every day.⠀
⠀
That’s how routines actually stick.⠀
Not discipline or motivation.⠀
But design.⠀
⠀
⠀
Spending so much time with family over xmas I realised something important...⠀
Kids don’t listen to what you say about health.⠀
⠀
They watch what you do.⠀
⠀
Telling them…⠀
“eat your veggies”⠀
“only one biscuit”⠀
“sleep is important”⠀
⠀
simply doesn’t land ... if you’re not living what you’re preaching.⠀
⠀
They’re very smart…⠀
and notice everything.⠀

@LynAldenContact Appreciate you Lyn.. instead of just jumping into either bull or bear porn.. you say the 'boring' truth which is where actual alpha is.. not what our Amygdala wants
My best piece of advice for anyone that wants to keep healthy over this xmas period...⠀
⠀
Keep up your habit of training.. ⠀
⠀
You'll naturally do less food damage without really thinking about it⠀
plus the extra cals will help you fuel up nicely⠀
it's actually not uncommon to break a bunch of PBs during this season 😅⠀
Now I will be giving my clients some specific tips for their situation.. ⠀
But most of the stuff works because they have really good habits in place already ⠀
⠀
If you haven't got any habits set up.. or they're not quite up to par⠀
Now is an excellent time to make a real health plan⠀
⠀
with real habits (not fads)⠀
with specific details..⠀
like the exact time you're gonna workout⠀
and the exact routine you're gonna do in each session⠀
Also... ⠀
⠀
Don't forget to enjoy precious time with loved ones.. ❤⠀
and get some real rest..⠀
This time is rare.. ⠀
use it well⠀
⠀
You don't want to get to january feeling under recovered & full of stress⠀
BTW... If you're not very clear on what exact habits you should be focusing on for your situation⠀
⠀
Comment HABITS below and I'll put you on the right path 💪⠀

Struggling to build muscle after 40?⠀
⠀
👉You're probably making this mistake with your training...⠀
Your body will adapt at any age… but only if you give it a strong enough reason to.⠀
⠀
Most people think they need a complex split…⠀
6 days a week… 3 hours per day... advanced exercises…⠀
⠀
You don’t.⠀
⠀
What you actually need is this:⠀
If your target is 8–12 reps,⠀
and you finish at 12 but could’ve pushed 5 more?⠀
That won't build muscle... it's just passing time.⠀
🔥 Here’s the simple rule I give my clients:⠀
⠀
Right weight = your last 2 reps are getting slow.. a little ugly, and you’re questioning life a bit :)⠀
If you breeze through them, it’s too light.⠀
If your form completely collapses at rep 5, it’s too heavy.⠀
⠀
Master this..⠀
And you’ll build more muscle in your 40s and 50s⠀
than you ever did in your twenties⠀
⠀
