That question came back to me today. This morning my routine was off. I slept in, missed my usual 6am gym time, and honestly didn’t feel motivated. The old me might’ve said, “I’ll try again tomorrow.” But today I decided 1pm still counted. So I showed up… even with the gym full of teenagers giving summer camp chaos 😂 and I still got it done. Walked away with 2 new PRs: 🔥 Angled Machine Leg Press: 185 lbs. My legs and feet felt numb after that one 😱 🔥 One Arm DB Preacher Curl: 17.5 lbs. This felt incredible because it showed me how much stronger I’m becoming. Today reminded me: maybe there isn’t “trying.” There’s choosing, adjusting, and doing. Strength is built when the routine isn’t perfect, motivation is low, and you still show up anyway. 💪✨

Let's get ourselves in the "abundance" mindset. Go for it!

When I need something quick, easy, high-volume, and macro-friendly, this is one of those meals that saves me. Nothing fancy, just using what I already had and making it work. Ingredients: 2 packs kelp noodles — 592 grams total 1 pack Trader Joe’s Garlic Shiitake Green Beans — 301 grams Costco Mediterranean-style chicken skewers — 352 grams Hoisin sauce — 16 grams Fish sauce — 11 ml How I made it: First, I prepped the kelp noodles. I already shared how I prep kelp noodles in my other “Recipes” post, so follow that step first. In a non-stick pan, I stir-fried the 301 grams of Trader Joe’s shiitake green beans with the 592 grams of kelp noodles. I added a little water so the noodles didn’t dry out. If you have chicken broth, use that instead for extra flavor and a little added protein. While that was cooking, I air-fried the Costco Mediterranean chicken skewers, 352 grams total, at 400 degrees for 14 minutes. Once the noodles and green beans were almost done, I added 16 grams of hoisin sauce to the pan. Right before turning off the heat, I added 11 ml of fish sauce, gave everything a good stir, and turned off the fire. Then I cut up the chicken skewers and added them on top. This made 5 servings: Calories 140 Carbs 8 gr Protein 17 gr Fat 3 gr Simple. Fast. Easy. Meal prep friendly. This is one of those meals that reminds me eating on plan doesn’t always have to be complicated. Sometimes it’s just about throwing together easy ingredients, making it taste good, and keeping yourself prepared.

So the uk is in a heatwave and it’s warm , I love the sun so I have been tanning, but more interesting I have really been looking at once it cools down to practice some new meal ideas. This is so I have stuff when it’s hot, other than snacks, so far I have been drinking more coconut water and then have made myself a very nice lunch (half eaten in the pic) ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️ this summer is going to be interesting ☺️😜☺️

My oldest son surprised me today and asked me to help him loose weight because he is tired of being fat. He weighs 250 lbs at 17 years old! I told him I would do my best to help him. But he has to really want it and work for it. We have to replace his habits with new ones. He will need to include movements in his day and change skipping meals and snacking late at night. He agreed. 👍 We will start right away. It will be an interesting time. I might have him join Skool so he can get all of your helpful advice and information.
