Week 2 is where most people fall off…

Ever notice how the first week of a new plan feels exciting?
You’re fired up. Motivated. Dialed in.
Then…
Week 2 hits.
Your schedule gets messy.
You miss a workout.
You grab takeout instead of meal prepping.
You tell yourself, “I’ll restart next Monday.”
That’s not a discipline problem.
That’s a system problem.
Here’s the truth most coaches won’t tell you:
Motivation gets you started. But friction is what stops you.
Friction is what happens when your environment doesn’t support your goals:
- No meals ready to go
- No reminders to train
- No structure built into your calendar
- No accountability when you slip
That’s why the real win isn’t in the first week.
It’s in building a system that makes Week 2 (and every week after that) easier.
I teach my clients to automate their progress — so they don’t have to rely on willpower.
And that’s how they win.
If you’ve been stuck in the “start-over” loop, reply with “SYSTEM” and I’ll show you how to build one that actually fits your life.
To your strength and success,
