✅ weighted myself first thing after using the bathroom before any food or drink. (139.2lbs)😁 ✅ Got my morning coffee with protein it’s really the best way I found to get protein in the morning. Next is planning my meals for the day. I will start with my breakfast, it’s always the same thing. Oikos pro 19g protein no sugar added yogurt 145g. Blueberries 🫐 83g. My premier protein 30g of protein for 160 calories with 2 cups wort of homemade coffee. I will also add 1/2 cup of granola. Ok now plan lunch and dinner plus a snack starting with my protein choice. Then adding vegetables that I can add and finally what ever treats like fruits, popcorn or sweet I can add if I want to. 80/20 works great.

I actually took a recovery day when my body needed it… and didn’t feel bad about it. Rest is productive too 😮‍💨✨! I did @Darren Liu ’s mobility video on an infrared mat as best as I could, used my infrared steam sauna pod, showered, and slapped on a collagen infused face mask for the night… and used some cbd oil that smells like cookies on sore shoulders and calves! Slept so good 😊 What methods do you use on your recovery day?

A coworker of mine, a mom to a toddler, was looking for quick meal ideas. I shared my steamed egg recipe, and it turned into a meaningful connection over easy, realistic meals.

Hello everyONE!! My name is Lena. I started my fitness journey 4 years ago after a health wake-up call (hello, high cholesterol 😅). I’m a mom to one amazing daughter and work in healthcare as a Compliance Auditor for the University of California. 💪 Training was never the problem. I spent 2 years with a personal trainer learning proper form and lifting heavy. 🥗 Nutrition? Different story. I overtrained, under-ate, lived on salads, and my weight kept yo-yoing. I was tired, frustrated… and let’s just say not very pleasant to be around 😬. Then the universe stepped in ✨ I joined the BBB Program on 01/02/2025 after Coach Darren popped up on my IG feed saying things that felt way too relatable. The $500 goal incentive around the holidays sealed it!! I trusted my gut instinct for a lifestyle change for my future. Best decision I’ve made, hands down. 🎯 My current goals: - Lose body fat sustainably - Build strong, confident muscle - Master nutrition in real life—especially social events (because life still happens) 🍜 Death row last meal? Vietnamese crab noodle soup (Bún Riêu) ❤️ Grateful to be here, learn from this community, and cheer you all on. The more real we are, the stronger we get together 💛
