I made this chicken stir fry yesterday and it’s so good! Just 2 cups shredded chicken, 2 pasture raised eggs scrabbled, 2 cups of cooked rice (it called for 3 but I just did two and it was enough), 3 cups of frozen veggies, garlic powder, and you can add 2 tablespoon's of coconut aminos if you want. If you have pre cooked chicken it would take even less time! Today (first pic! I added some balsamic vinaigrette (from Aldi that’s seed oil free) and some sliced avocado to it and it hit the spot! 😋 Second pic is from yesterday with everything listen for the recipe.

TAKING ACTION: ✅Don’t let the weekend be your weak end! Enjoy your treat today, and carry on. Speaking of treats, share a picture of what you’ll be enjoying today! It’s officially the weekend, and in the past, this may have been how your weekend played out ⬇️ Start a diet on Monday. Eat salads and drink water all week. Go to the gym every morning or afternoon. Then Friday hits—and BAM! We suddenly feel like we deserve to splurge over the weekend because we’ve worked hard all week. One splurge leads to the next, and before we know it, we’re starting over on Monday—again… Sound familiar? Don’t get me wrong, I love the weekend. I love a nice break to enjoy the fruits of my labor. I love a treat now and then on the weekend. But the ideal scenario isn’t to put forth effort all week only to throw it all away on the weekend—because the truth is that weekends count, too. If you’ve learned anything in our program, you already know the answer isn’t found in under-eating all week, only to feel deprived and famished on the weekends. The answer is found in fueling your body sufficiently throughout the week so you aren’t left with cravings and feeling deprived. When you properly fuel your body and practice sustainable strategies throughout the week, there’s no more “working for the weekend”. And no more “starting over on Monday”. 💯

We’ve talked about balance when it comes to consuming food. We’ve talked about balance when it comes to whole-food nutrition vs. processed foods. But if we truly want to live an overall balanced lifestyle, we must also consider our exercise habits, sleep habits, and rest days—because the truth is that all of these things together make up a healthy and balanced life. If one is neglected, the rest of them don’t work as well. Health is comprehensive. Balance is, too. Just as it is with nutrition, exercise, sleep, and rest can all swing too far one way. You can exercise too much. You can exercise too little (although, something is always better than nothing!) You can sleep too much (but can you really, though? 😉) You can sleep too little. You can rest too much. You can rest too little. You can do anything too much, and you can do anything too little. This is the case in all areas of life. As I mentioned earlier in the week, it’s about finding your sweet spot. Consider this today ⬇️ When you’re trying to find your balance sweet spot, what is something that is sustainable, yet slightly challenges you? Your plan shouldn’t be predestined to defeat you, but for growth to happen, it needs to be slightly outside of your comfort zone. This is how you find balance that also comes with growth. 💯

“Work out. Lead a balanced life and try to have fun. It's what you make it.” ~Venus Williams TAKING ACTION: ✅Comment BALANCE below if you’re ready to learn more about how and why you should live a balanced life regarding your health & wellness journey! Good morning, and happy Monday, friends! I hope you had a wonderful weekend, full of a little productivity and a little rest. It’s called balance, and we all need it in our lives—and especially in our health & wellness journeys. 💯 Think of your journey as you would a pendulum. If you swing too far one way, you won’t be productive at all. If you swing too far in the other direction, you’re at risk for burning out. The goal is to find your sweet spot somewhere in the middle. Your sweet spot may look different throughout different seasons. For example, there may be seasons where you swing with a little more force toward one direction or the other, but with awareness and intentionality, you can always stay somewhere in the middle. That’s what balanced living is. We’re going to talk more about balance this week, as it’s a topic we’ve never really discussed in depth. Of course, I find it important, but it’s easy to get caught up in life and find yourself swinging too far one way. Maybe you do, too. This week, we’re going to be reminded of why balanced living is our best approach and why it ultimately leads to lifelong success! 🙌
