TAKING ACTION: ✅What do you love most about this platform? Share with me below, and also tell me about what you’re celebrating today! Happy Friday, friends! Today is our designated day to celebrate our weekly wins (but, let’s be honest—every day is a good day to celebrate wins)! 🎉 As I was considering our conversation about balance this week, I couldn’t help but think about how this program and platform is completely balanced, all the way around. ⬇️ ⚖️We balance our nutrition. ⚖️We balance our workouts: strength, HIIT, and rest days ⚖️We focus on balanced sleep and hormones. ⚖️And of course, we work hard, but on Fridays, we take time to have a little fun and celebrate! I’m not sure we could be any more balanced ‘round here…😉 Finding overall balance is a journey, but if you’re committed to this lifestyle, you’re already living a more balanced life than most people. That’s just the truth. 💯 With that said, let’s refuel our bodies after yesterday’s fast and celebrate today! You deserve it! 🎉

I see my face …. I didn’t recognize my be well picture! Is this the right place

“What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.” ~Zig Ziglar TAKING ACTION: ✅Share a small win this week that is moving you closer to your big win/goal? Let’s celebrate them—they’re the real MVPs! 🎉 Ask anyone who’s ever accomplished anything in life, and I can guarantee they’ll tell you the lessons learned along the way were far more valuable than the victory. That’s not to say the victory isn’t sweet, because it certainly is; however, it’s much sweeter when you’ve fought tooth and nail to get there. 💯 Every time you choose the healthiest option (mentally or physically), your brain is rewiring its neural pathways and if you aren’t changing your neural pathways, you aren’t changing. This means much of who you become is in your control! You can change your brain. You can change your thoughts. You can change your future. You often hear me talk about embracing the discomfort in this space. Do you see a common theme? The reason this keeps coming up is that it’s critically important. The lessons learned—pushing through the discomfort—the small wins you celebrate on Fridays—becoming a better version of yourself each day—THESE are the real wins! 🎉

TAKING ACTION: ✅Just as we did yesterday, tell me one thing you’re doing today for a better tomorrow! It can be anything! Share with us below after you get it done! 👇 Yesterday, we talked about a specific quote and how it relates to the overall health & wellness journey. I’d like to stay on that topic this week because its deeper meaning is one we need to learn. Rain brings showers. Effort brings results. Discomfort brings growth. When something is True with a capital “T”, it’s true across all planes—it’s true in life, relationships, your health & wellness, etc. It’s always True. The concept we’re talking about this week is always true. It is the way forward. 💯 The question this week is, “Are you willing to walk through the rain?” Only you can answer that. Only you know if it’s worth it to get what you want on the other side. Speaking of being worth it, this easy bell pepper + cucumber + mango + red onion is totally worth it! It’s simple, light, and pairs well with almost any protein! Check out the recipe inside! 🥭 Bell Pepper Cucumber Salad with Mango & Red Onion - Clean Eating Kitchen

TAKING ACTION: ✅ What’s your favorite core move? This week, we’re chatting about why building a strong core is important for your overall health. The truth is that building strength is important for all of your body/muscles. We use different muscles for different activities, but at the end of the day, your core is arguably one of the most important to focus on. That’s because it acts as a girdle, support system, and shock absorber for the rest of your body. When your core muscles are weak, you overcompensate by using other muscles, and that can often cause injury and/or unnecessary pain. 💯 Something you may not have realized is just how many muscles we’re talking about when we’re referencing your core. We often think of our abdominal muscles and maybe our back muscles. But did you know there are many more? 👉 Abdominal (both deep and superficial) 👉 Back (both deep and superficial) 👉 Obliques (the sides of your stomach) 👉 Diaphragm (your breathing muscle at the top of your core) 👉 Pelvic floor muscles (make up the bottom of your core) Your core is where all movement begins and is your center of gravity. Focusing on strengthening your core in its entirety will not only benefit your core but also the rest of your body, as well! 💯
