If anyone’s interested, the new issue of Consumer Reports Sept/Oct 2026, tests and ranks protein supplements. Muscle Tech’s Mass Gainer is top ranked. The full protein update is an interesting read describing testing, results, and how makers address concerns of heavy metal intake.

Unfortunately, my stomach has decided to create its own high-intensity workout ☣️🤢, so I won’t be able to lead tonight’s HIIT session. We’re rescheduling for next Tuesday, August 11. Sorry for the change, and thanks for understanding! Stay healthy- and I’ll see you next week, when hopefully the only thing feeling the burn will be our muscles. 🔥💪

It’s only 3pm. And I washed my macros down the drain and hit my calories too early. Woof. I have been ignoring the recipes and meal plan long enough. I just had Claude fill my wal mart cart with the ingredients to make it happen. First Sunday meal prep ever tomorrow. Wish me luck.

We often treat the good life like a destination we will reach once everything falls into place. But life is happening now, in imperfect places and uncertain seasons. The lesson is to stop waiting, start moving, and create something good with what is already in front of you.

Hey everyone! We’re going to move this week’s Coffee with Coach to Friday, August 7th at 9:00 AM EST. Unfortunately, I’ve come down with a stomach virus (I guess that’s one way to cut down 😅). I’m doing okay, but I don’t want to risk pushing through it or giving a less-than-100% session. Thanks for understanding, and I’ll see you all next Friday at 9:00 AM EST. Looking forward to catching up then!
