I realized that yesterdays post was very…male-centric. So I thought I could show how the exact same tactical approach can be used for weight loss, but this time I will use a woman as an example.
Instead of the carpet bomb approach that many women use towards weight loss (eat less and run and exercise until they are ’small’), I like taking a tactical approach that really defines goals and vision.
