Chicken, veggies and brown rice. Going to add some buffalo sauce and a couple tablespoons of blue cheese.

I have done pretty good so far this week. I have been in bed by 10 every night so far. Even if I don’t sleep the full time it has helped! 😴 😊

I got 8 hours of sleep! 😴 I don’t remember the last time that happened. I was in bed at 9:30 and I didn’t get out of bed until 6! 🎉

As we close out Week 1, I want you to pause before thinking about what’s next. This week was not about results you can force or measure on the scale. It was about regulation. I feel like this is the HARDEST thing for women to do because we are always wearing so many different hats and we always feel like we need to be doing, doing, doing instead of slowing down. So, I'm sure for many of you, the hardest part wasn’t food or movement, it was learning how to slow down and trust that working with your body is not the same as giving up. Over the years, I’ve learned how important it is to slow down, listen to my body, and work with it instead of constantly fighting against it. I’ve always been someone who pushes harder. Yesterday was a mentally and emotionally heavy day for me. In the past, I would have forced myself to work out, pushed through how I was feeling, and numbed it all with a glass of wine in the evening. Instead, I paused. I listened. I started the morning with meditation. I chose a long walk instead of a workout. And when the evening came, I didn’t reach for alcohol. Those choices created a huge shift, in how I felt, in my mindset, and in how I showed up for my family. I slept really well last night and woke up feeling great! These wins may look small to others, but they are HUGE to me. They reflect moving through my day with intention instead of resistance and pushing upstream all day. That’s not a small shift. So, this week, you focused on: • calming the nervous system • reducing urgency • eating more consistently • supporting recovery • shifting attention away from the scale Even if the changes felt subtle, this work matters. Regulation is the phase that makes progress possible instead of temporary. If Week 1 felt uncomfortable, quiet, or unfamiliar, that’s often a sign that you’re doing it right. Take a moment to acknowledge what you noticed this week: • energy • sleep • cravings • mood • recovery • mindset Awareness is the win. “If you had to describe this week in one word, what would it be?” Answer in the comments below 👇
