If I were starting my fitness journey tomorrow (aka Monday 😅), here’s what I’d do differently…
It took me losing over 30kg and healing my diastasis recti to learn these so if you’re just getting started (or starting over), save yourself the detours:
	1.	I’d stop stressing about the scale and focus on how I feel. 
	2.	I’d get protein in first thing, it changes everything. (I post a lot of high protein breakfast and meal ideas so check those out if you’re feeling lost. 
	3.	I’d start lifting way earlier. Start light, don’t be scared of weights, just start! 
	4.	I’d stop chasing perfect- perfect body, perfect tummy and stick to consistent. Perfect will follow. 
	5.	I’d take more progress pics instead of obsessing over numbers. This takes us back to my first point, even when the scale doesn’t move, you will see changes through pictures. 

It doesn’t have to be perfect. But it does have to start.
So if you’re hitting reset this Monday, these might help you start smarter.
