WeighLess Day 1: Your Journey Begins
Saturday, May 03, 2025
Welcome to Day 1 of your WeighLess journey! I'm thrilled to have you aboard and can't wait to see your transformation. As we begin this 30-day program together, I want to set you up for success with everything you need for your first day.
Day 1 Mindset Focus: First Steps Count Double
For Day 1, focus on fully committing to the process. The first step of any journey is the most important—it sets the tone for everything that follows. Approach today with the mindset that you're not just "trying" this program; you're fully embracing it as your new normal.
Quick Exercise: Take 1 minute this morning to say to yourself: "I'm committed to this process. I trust that consistent small actions will lead to big results." This simple declaration sets a powerful intention.

Day 1 Movement Plan - Total Body Strength
Warm ups, Cool Downs, Reps and More - I'm including important link to videos on the important details on how to do this workout. You don't need to watch these videos everytime but it's important that you understand these key practices before you get started and revisit as refreshers as needed.

The long and short of it: Always focus on full range of motion, slow controlled tempos and use a weight that forces failure somewhere between 8-15 reps (per side for some exercises.) Warm up, then do exercise 1, rest for about 60 seconds and move into exercise 2. Do this until you've completed all exercises. That's 1 round. Rest and repeat for a total of 3 rounds. Happy training!
Today's workout focuses on establishing proper form with foundational movements that work all major muscle groups:

For Day 1, consider sharing in the private WeighLess Together Community:
- Your "why" - what motivated you to start this journey
- A picture of your first WeighLess meal
- Your goal for the 30-day program
- Any questions you have as you're getting started
Starting strong with community support makes a significant difference! Research published by the American Society of Training and Development found that people who commit to someone else about their goals increase their chance of success by up to 65%. When that commitment includes ongoing accountability, the success rate jumps to 95%.
Take a moment tonight to prepare for your first day. Which meals will you make? When will you complete your workout? Setting these intentions now will help you start with confidence.
Here's to your success,
