Balancing Social Life and Fitness Goals with Rachel and David Godfrey
No one is asking you to become a nun, shack up in a convent and shun all social engagements in favour of a nice night in (with your cat) chowing down on some delicious boiled broccoli and dry chicken...all served out of Tupperware of course!
Ever felt torn between enjoying a night out with friends and sticking to your fitness plan? Rachel and David Godfrey get it. In this episode of The Chase Life Podcast, they tackle the tricky balance of socializing and maintaining fat loss progress. Forget the idea that you have to choose between having fun and staying fit. Rachel and David argue that you can enjoy a glass of wine or a night out without sabotaging your goals.
They emphasize that it’s not about measuring every sip or avoiding social events altogether. Instead, it’s about making smart choices and understanding the deeper reasons behind your habits. David sheds light on how drinking as escapism differs from social drinking, which fulfills needs like connection and fun. He shares ways to meet these needs without relying solely on food, alcohol, or the gym.
Through their own experiences and practical advice, Rachel and David show you how to stay on track without feeling deprived or isolated. If you’ve ever struggled with balancing your social life and fitness goals, this episode offers a refreshing perspective that’s both realistic and encouraging.
