TAKING ACTION: ✅Look at your week ahead and let me know in the comments if you see any potential hiccups for Feast Day or our 24-hour fast this week. Let’s get a plan together now so you’re well-prepared and set up for success! We’re stepping into our fourth week of our STEPtember Challenge and in case you haven’t heard—it’s a big week around here! We not only have our monthly 24-hour fast coming up this week, but we also have our monthly Feast Day (which is a total fan fav, by the way) AND our No Background Noise CHALLENEGE starts TODAY and runs through Friday (no music in car, TVs OFF, etc..) and really sit in our thoughts and learn to enjoy the silence which will help with anxiety (long term), nervous system regulation + being able to form actual thoughts. I always like to touch on a mindset topic on Mondays, and today, I want to talk about reducing decision fatigue by having a plan. Decision fatigue is a real thing, and if you wait until the last minute and try to wing it with your diet and exercise, you may find yourself too mentally overwhelmed to focus on your plan this week. 💯 Today, I encourage you to look at your week ahead. What could potentially cause a hiccup on Feast Day? What about our 24-hour fast on Thursday? Note anything that might pose a problem and figure out how you’re going to navigate it. Have a plan. Again, with all of the decisions that come up in a day, waiting to create a plan until it arrives typically doesn’t turn out in your favor. If you know of anything that might cause a hiccup this week, share it with me in the comments below, and I’ll help you think through it! That’s what I’m here for, and I want to see you succeed! 🔥

Here’s a simple and fast desert recipe that is a healthier option! My apples were a little too ripe and I didn’t realize till I did it that I didn’t add enough almond flour but it still turned out so good! My mom and I made this in the past for thanksgiving a few years back and it was better then when we had actual fresh apples and the right amount of almond flour. 🤣 I had a bunch of apples getting ready to go had so I decided to make this recipe. I also didn’t peel the apples but I didn’t think they needed to be. 🤷🏽‍♀️

TAKING ACTION: ✅Who out there is a pumpkin fan? What’s your favorite way to eat it? What about pumpkin seeds? We can’t talk about Fall produce without talking about pumpkins! 🍁 Pumpkins are considered a fruit and are heart-healthy! They’re full of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, potassium, fiber, and antioxidants. And get this—just 1 ounce of roasted pumpkin seeds provides nearly 8 grams of protein! 🙌 If you’re interested in our seasonal eating topic this month, don’t leave pumpkin out of the mix. Start by making these no-bake pumpkin protein balls! This delicious recipe calls for pumpkin puree, which still offers significant nutritional benefits even after cooking and is considered one of the most nutrient-dense foods you can eat. These no-bake pumpkin protein balls just may be a good choice for a healthier treat-day dessert.
