Hey

As a fellow sports fan, I'm sure you were just as invested in the England vs. Spain Euro final as I was. What an intense and heartbreaking match to watch unfold on Sunday evening, right?

As I sat there, watching our team's dreams slip away on TV, I couldn't help but reflect on why we came up short.

And you know what? It got me thinking about something completely different - how people approach losing weight and becoming stronger cyclists.

Here's the thing:

England's performance was a bit like how many of us tackle our fitness goals. They played defensively, seemingly more focused on not losing than on actually winning. Does that sound all too familiar?

I know I've been guilty of that myself - making little tweaks here and there, but never really going all-in on the bigger changes that could make a real difference. And that's the real question, isn't it? In cycling, and in life in general, are you just here to participate, or are you truly committed to competing and going for the win?

Many of us fail to fully commit to our goals. We might swap out our regular latte for a skinny version or hop on the bike once a week, but is that really enough to create a significant shift? It's like England's cautious approach – playing not to lose rather than to win.

But here's the question: in cycling and in life, are you here to participate or to compete?

By not fully trying, we avoid big failures. It feels safer, doesn't it? But this cautious approach keeps us from making meaningful progress. It's similar to how England relied on fleeting moments of brilliance rather than consistent performance.

In your fitness journey, are you pushing your limits or staying in your comfort zone?

Some people rely on sporadic efforts, like cycling for hours on weekends or dieting hard for a week. Sure, you might experience small wins, but nothing that builds momentum or consistency.

It's akin to how England managed to scrape through with last-minute saves and penalty shootouts. But let me ask you this: can you build a Tour de France-worthy performance on occasional bursts of effort?

And if you, like me, found yourself desperately hoping for an England victory despite their less-than-stellar performances, perhaps now is the perfect time to reflect on your own approach to health and fitness. Are you relying on fleeting moments, hoping for a win, instead of committing to a consistent, winning strategy?

As Gary Neville said, "You cannot keep playing below your best and winning."

Isn't that true for cycling and weight loss too? You can't keep making half-hearted efforts and expect championship results.

If you want to fully commit to transforming your health and cycling performance, it's time to stop playing it safe. It's time to go all in and make significant changes. It's time to shift from a defensive strategy to an offensive one, both on and off the bike.

So, what's your next move? Are you ready to stop relying on sporadic efforts and fleeting moments? Are you prepared to commit fully to your goals and make meaningful progress?
