I have been missing meals and need to get off this roller coaster to achieve my goals 🙃. Here is a pic of my breakfast which is super easy to prep every night. My word for the next few months is execution- I know what to do so I need to do it….consistently! Breakfast bowl includes: soaked chia seeds in soy milk, cinnamon & turmeric. When I ready to eat it, I add forager yogurt (high in protein) & fresh berries. It was delicious!

Today starts a new week (I’m restarting every six weeks so this is Week 1) and my first day counting macros. I did some preliminary planning this weekend and realized that with what I had in-house, the first few days to a week wouldn’t be perfect but I’m okay with that for now. I already made a grocery list for the next grocery trip and am gonna be making all tha macro-friendly meals! I did go over today — primarily with carbs 😭 they’re a weakness and I have to plan around them better. I’ll continue to track and show macro goals vs. macro reality for Week 1 😂 something I’m happy about is as I track macros and not calories, I’m actually far below calories than expected. Today I didn’t fully notice I was as hungry until the early evening hunger pangs at work. Luckily I had PB handy in case I got randomly hungry so the extra protein and fat were helpful for the commute home (shoutout to @Lin Ochoa Vegan Squad Coach for the nutrition info on how fat can help me feel satiated) 👏🏾💪🏾 (Pictured is the nutrition info on the plant-based chick’n noodle soup I had for dinner. High in carb grams also… grocery list is gonna help here) Macro Goals: Protein grams target: 166g Carbs grams target: 119g Fat grams target: 84g Macro Reality, Day 1: Protein grams: 61g Carbs grams: 225g Fat grams: 61g

I wanted something quick with the ingredients in my fridge- wasn’t interested in going to the grocery store after a 13 hour day. This was soooo good!

Our first ever SQUAD GAMES has come to a close. What an epic leaderboard! We will be reaching out this coming week with the next steps!!! Great work everyone and congrats to the 1:1 winners!!

My stress level today is quite high. Got some less than exciting news from my wife's doctor. It's genuinely an unknown, but is very disturbing. My coping strategy is seeking some more interaction with the family, and drinking water before coffee (seemingly unrelated but I almost never remember to do this and it takes the edge off). In other news, I've successfully followed the squat/water challenge from Alexis for a few days straight, despite some stressful days at work!
