@Zona Lord You set a great example with this for us here and in your community.❤️. I love how you framed this because steadfast is STRONG💪🏽 while something that's stretched is prone to weakness.

@Dawn Mae Atchison You know, this past year, I parted ways with my in-person trainer (Strength training) and decided to pause with my online nutrition coach but in the meantime, I gained a therapist ....and I'm feeling lighter and stronger in a more accelerated fashion! Go figure haha!

@Simone Cato This is sooo refreshing to read and I'm tearing up. It's reassuring to know that other women struggle with this and are choosing to protect their peace. We are not alone and growing better together❤️

@Zona Lord @Simone Cato Thank you ladies for these great reads at the most appropriate time. I spent the last hour trying to work while my husband talked to me about sending texts, emails, the kids schedules and I felt my BP rising. Choosing to take a breath and tell myself to slow down and that IT IS OK. I appreciate you guys so much

@Zona Lord Yes! Thank you! Very under-leveraged indeed

@Zona Lord Any tips for declining commitments? It's a struggle for me

I built every meal around protein today. I feel confident about repeating this for 90% of my meals—and I’m noticing the difference in my hunger + energy. (SOOOO many delicious breads, rice + pasta this holiday season; it's been a game to find the protein!)

@Michele Hunt how many reps and sets are you doing? Single arm half kneeling OH press? Also, what led you to the goal of 25 lbs?😁

@Michele Hunt Also, try doing either one extra set on the left or 3 extra reps on the left (not both); stick to the 15 lbs like you have been and we'll go from there!
