For most of my life, I have had a bad habit of working too much. I am a mother, wife, daughter and a health care provider. I spend most of my life caring for others. I am not really good at caring for myself. I have realized lately that I am lacking balance between work and life. I spend most of my life working and then the rest fitting in family and squeezing in time for myself. I recently realized that this is not really sustainable and I have been working with my coach @Kevin Teachanarong to find some balance. I am working on some new goals. I am starting with goals of improving my sleep with a dedicated bedtime no later than 10:00 – 10:30 pm. I am also trying to set boundaries and limits of work time. Setting a time to stop and then that is all I will do for the day. This is my starting point. So far, I have been able to set stopping times for work and have been successful the past 2 days. (This is a new goal set this week). Yesterday, I was able to accomplish this and finish all of my work charting for the day. I got most of it done at work which is hard to do. After getting home, I stopped working when I said I would and enjoyed dinner and a little television (which I never watch) with my husband. I was then so tired I went to bed early. I even slept in this morning. Today, I set work goals and kept them. So far, so good. I plan to hit my bedtime tonight. I also want to say that the BBB program and working with my personal coach gives me more skills than just a weight loss program. If you are considering joining the inner circle, I encourage you to do so. It has been one of the best things I have done for me. Sharing to keep myself accountable. Do you have anything that you find gets in the way of balance and reaching your goals?

I’m curious if anyone else deals with this… You eat pretty well all day. You’re “on track.” Then suddenly 7–9pm hits and it feels like your stomach opened a second shift 😑 You’re not even starving… but you want to snack on literally everything. Every time you walk by the kitchen — handful of grapes here, few almonds there, a square of dark chocolate. 437 calories later, you’re like “f*ck!” 🥵 I recorded a short Loom 🎥 about one of the biggest mistakes I see with clients that causes this. It has nothing to do with: - Eating less - Cutting foods - Or trying to be more disciplined And most people think they’re already doing this right… but they’re not. Once people fix this, two things usually happen: Hunger becomes way more predictable Night snacking gets drastically easier to control Your calories don’t even have to change for this to work. I’m hoping this is one of those “how did I never notice this?” types of things. ‼️👉 If you want the video, comment ANCHOR and I’ll DM it to you. If evenings are where things fall apart for you, this will probably hit.

I talked with @Kevin Teachanarong about my eating habits this past week or so and realized I’ve been reducing my calorie intake more than usual. I always stayed between 1400 and 1500 since I started the program more or less. I don’t really remember why but I started trying to stay under 1400 and adding as many steps as possible. Did I loose weight? Yes Did it feel great? Like I told everyone I felt very low energy and moody. I was no fun to be around. I have decided to eat like I did before and stay in between 1400 to 1500 since it’s proven to work for me. Having said that I was at 1440 calories until my husband came home with Swiss rolls and I just had to have one. Now at 1550 and no guilt about it. Only one ☝️

Sharing what keeps me consistent without overthinking it. I anchor every meal with protein first, then build around it. 🏋️‍♀️ Pre-workout breakfast: - Rice cakes + honey - ½ protein shake 🍳 Breakfast (weekday rotation): - 1 whole egg + 200g egg whites - ~60g beef bacon - Greek yogurt (170g) + blueberries + Thai bananas - Rotisserie chicken breast burrito - OR 1 egg + 200g egg whites + chicken sausage (steamed) ☕ Weekend breakfast: - Doppio from Starbucks - Vanilla Fairlife Elite protein shake 🥗 Lunch: - Grilled chicken + veggies (sometimes rice) - Rotisserie chicken quesadilla - Chicken skewers + veggies - Salmon patty + veggies - Tuna salad 🍽️ Dinner: - Thai kaprow bison & turkey - Grilled chicken thighs boneless and skinless - Grilled ribeye beef - Tilapia + veggies or rice - Salmon + veggies or rice 🎉 Weekends = social & flexible: - Hamburger (Preferably Charbroil Places) - Shabuya - Sushi - Taco truck 🌮 protein style (chicken, tripas, beef cheeks) - Meals at our parents’ house - Most weekend lunches & dinners are social meals because we’re out and about at Disneyland ✨ Key takeaway: I don’t chase perfection. I anchor meals with protein, stay flexible with carbs/fats, and enjoy real life. This keeps me full, fueled, and consistent — even on busy, fun weekends. Steal ideas if it helps 💪
