I always tell everyone that I can eat anything I want during my fitness journey. But today I realized it’s not really how I treat myself. My husband brought home a mama burger with fries today and said now I just need to enter it into my app. I started crying. 😭 I had all my meal for the day planned out and I was leaving room so I could have some treats later and he was just messing up my plan. I was so mad. 😡 I said ok whatever I’m just going to enter the stupid thing and move other stuff around. I kept some treat because I knew I would want it later. I rewrote an entire meal like 4 times. But I made it work in my budget. Mama burger with no bun. Used romaine lettuce instead. Added 75g of fries. 🍟 After that I altered some stuff for diner and moved some other things to have tomorrow instead. It’s not the end of the world but at that moment it sure felt like it to me. Have you ever felt overwhelmed like that ?

Today is not about steps. Not about macros. Not about closing rings or hitting goals. Today is about rest, hydration, and gentle nourishment. Woke up with a stomach bug and my body officially said “girl, sit down.” 🛑 No tracking, no pressure—just focusing on what I can do safely: ✨ sipping fluids ✨ light, easy-to-digest foods ✨ letting my nervous system calm down ✨ accepting care (including from the sweetest little Doctor Ace ever 🩺 🥹💙) This is your reminder that rest IS part of fitness. Recovery counts. Listening counts. Slowing down counts. 💬 Calling my BBB health & fitness community: What are your go-to stomach flu–friendly recipes or drinks when you’re trying to get nutrients in without upsetting your stomach? Bone broth combos? Rice hacks? Teas? Electrolytes you swear by? Appreciate this community so much—sometimes the strongest move is knowing when to pause 🤍

Question for the ladies in particular, I’ve been in the program for close to four months now and am still struggling to reach the water target of 3L, most days I barely have 2L. Being a woman in the midst of perimenopause, and having given birth twice, drinking even two liters a day has me using the bathroom a lot… and several times a night. My question is does this get better? Will I even get up to 3L? How long will it take to get used to having that much to drink?

Feeling quite low and unworthy today. I don’t actually think I’ve messed up, but on low days my mind only shows me the negatives and none of the effort I’ve put in. It’s hard not to feel like I’m failing when I’m really just learning. I’m trying to remind myself that progress isn’t about being perfect, it’s about continuing even when it feels messy. I have enough resilience to know I won’t give up, even on days like this. Showing up in small ways still counts right? How do you keep going when your head tells you you’re not doing enough?
