Two weeks ago, I shared a fancy quiz/assessment with you that Monica Reinagel and I created to help you identify – and remove – the behaviour patterns that are keeping you stuck. If you haven’t taken the assessment yet, you can do that now.
Based on the 600 (ish) responses that we have received so far, it appears that “Impulse Control” is a big challenge for many of you. ( “Self-care” wasn’t far behind. )
There are definitely plenty of people struggling in the other categories as well including self-regard, flexibility, movement, and planning. And don’t worry, we aren’t leaving any of you hanging out to dry. For each result, we give some good advice on how and where to start.
if you are interested in finding out how you stack up, take the quiz FOR FREE and find out where you should put your focus. Just visit our Weighless.life website.
And now, with that out of the way, on with this week’s digest!

When you are used to a well-stocked gym, it can seem hopeless to get a decent chest workout at home, laying on your linoleum floor, hoisting a hand-me-down dumbbell. But I am here to tell you that it is far from hopeless – it’s actually pretty darn fun!
