What’s a healthy alternative to yogurt that I can eat granola with for someone who’s lactose intolerant or sensitive to dairy? I’ve been trying to find healthy breakfast options, but yogurt seems to be part of most of them. Even healthy oatmeal recipes usually include yogurt for the texture, so I can’t really make them.😑😭

My husband took me to Toronto after lunch yesterday. I ate my regular breakfast and lunch. Brought a little car snack and we left for Toronto. He was visiting someone at Rehab and I was going to get together with my aunt and cousin. I was hoping he would take me to eat somewhere Korean and when we did I was super excited. If I would have looked it up better I would have skipped the tanghulu strawberry 🍓 stick. I would not have eaten half of the chips either. I would have chosen the spicy chicken hot stone meal instead of spicy pork. But honestly I enjoyed everything and yes I was up in calories and went up on the scale this morning but it’s worth it.

In my very Malaysian accent, I asked myself today; "everything is a bit sore, how ah?" Go anywhere on the Internet, and the advice is: "If you're sore here, then you can workout a different muscle group." But when I do a sport that works a lot of muscle groups (shoulder, back, core, legs) and they're all gently sore, where do I go from there? 😅 I would like to keep to 2x gym per week, but how much should I push (i.e. keep the heavy lifting per usual)? Like yes, always listen to your body, but my overthinking brain is already foreseeing a slight neglect in the muscle-building practice. Anybody has advice?

Back home from my work retreat and feeling recharged. Yesterday after HIIT, I listened to my body — took a nap, went to bed early, and got 7 hrs 30 mins of sleep. This morning? Walked into the gym feeling AMAZING and hit a new PR on my dumbbell glute bridges 🔥 Sometimes recovery really is the secret sauce. Less “go go go,” more intentional rest so we can perform better when it counts. And a moment that honestly caught me off guard… my partner took me to dinner at Pollo Inka last night and paused mid-conversation to say: “Damn babe… I haven’t seen you for a week and you look really skinny now.” To be honest, I don’t always see the changes myself day to day. But hearing it from someone else — especially after multiple people this week mentioning my transformation — reminded me that consistency does compound. Even during the weeks when motivation isn’t perfect, routines are off, stress is high, or progress feels invisible. Showing up still matters.The workouts matter.The sleep matters.The tracking matters.The small choices matter. And today was a reminder that the hard work behind the scenes eventually shows up 🫶🏼 Pollo Inka ordered: Lomo saltado with green beans (usually comes with fries), no rice, side salad, no dressing, chicken soup, roll with Aji verde dressing
