The Consistency Report – Volume 15

I’ve been notably busier the past couple of weeks, taking on new projects. But honestly, it’s what I need.

There’s power in being busy. Not frantic or overwhelmed, but engaged with meaningful work.

When your plate is full of the right things, you naturally sharpen your focus and tighten your execution.

It’s Parkinson’s Law in action: work expands to fill the time available. If you only give yourself an hour, you’ll complete it within that hour. If you leave the whole day open, you’ll make it drag on all day.

Busyness also forces clarity. You cut the fluff, stop procrastinating, and just move. And momentum builds.

The key is to hustle with purpose. Have a plan. Chaos and complexity drain you. Effort and growth challenge you. The difference isn’t how much you’re doing, but whether it’s moving you forward.

Here is what I have for you this week.

Fitness: The Consistency Diet

Here’s the truth: most people don’t fail because they don’t know what to eat. They fail because they can’t stick with it. That’s why I created the Consistency Diet—a framework designed to make staying on track almost automatic.

At its core, the Consistency Diet is about repeatability. You build your diet around foods you enjoy, meals you can prep quickly, and a structure that works in real life. Instead of chasing perfection or the latest trend, you set up a system you can actually follow.

A few key principles:

• Anchor meals: Have a few go-to meals you repeat often (like a protein-heavy breakfast or your favorite lunch bowl). This eliminates decision fatigue.

• Protein first: Center each meal around a lean protein source. Protein drives satiety, supports muscle growth, and makes hitting your targets easier.

• Flexible framework: You don’t need to nail macros to the exact gram. Instead, adjust portion sizes and food choices within your system based on your goals (cutting, maintaining, bulking).

• Built-in variety: Keep 80% of your diet consistent, but leave room for flexibility so you don’t feel restricted.

For example, you might rotate between two breakfasts, three lunch options, and a handful of simple dinners. This way, you’re not reinventing the wheel every week, you’re just executing.

The Consistency Diet isn’t about the “perfect” plan. It’s about the one you’ll actually follow for months and years. Because in the end, adherence beats intensity.

Mindset: Don’t Feel Obligated to Finish the Book, Movie, or TV Show

I struggled with this when I was younger. If I started a book, I would slog through it until I finished. Not anymore. There are too many good things to waste time on stuff you don’t enjoy.

This goes beyond entertainment. It’s the sunk cost fallacy. It’s hard to abandon something you’ve already invested time or money into, but the sunk cost can’t be recovered. Often, the best decision is to cut bait and move on.

What I’m Into

• Football: The NFL season is here. Wow, did you see the Bills game? What a comeback. They won 41–40 after being down 40–25 with 4 minutes to go. The only problem is, with crazy night games like that, I can’t sleep. I’ve been trying to catch up all week.

• Reconnecting with old friends: I’ve reached out to some of my old fitness friends over the past couple of weeks, and it’s been really nice. A great reminder that I need to do that more often. Make the effort. I recorded a few of the conversations for the podcast, so you're in for a treat over the next couple of weeks.

This Week’s Podcast

Only one episode this week:

Fitness Culture: Then vs. Now | EP 523
In this episode, Derek and I dive into how gym and fitness culture have changed over the years. We talk about what’s been lost, what’s been gained, and how to get the best of both worlds. I think you’re going to enjoy the conversation. We went to a few places we didn’t expect.

Final Thought

Funny how it all ties together—being busy, sticking to the right plan, and not wasting time on what doesn’t matter. Life’s short. Fill it with things that challenge you, move you forward, and maybe even keep you up too late. That’s consistency.
