I will keep all updates on the tournaments here guys if that’s ok 👍 Starting with a good breakfast with lots of protein and a protein bar for energy on the go. Fruits for fibre. I will bring a couple rice cakes with honey maybe for energy or a Alani energy drink ?? What do you guys think 🤔?

Thank you @F L for the support this morning! I got my happy feet outside the door and walked ≈23 000 steps, 21 km and even swam in a 8⁰C warm sea! 🥶 (First time ever bathing in such cold water by the way and I grew up near a lake.)

TL;DR: A last-minute meeting almost ruined my workout and nutrition plan. 📉 Despite some "lazy" advice from my partner to just eat my meal prep and skip the workout, I found a workaround by joining a later running club! 👟🌙 Now I’m heading home feeling accomplished and fueled! 🙌🔥 ✨ 👊Question for you: Have you ever had an event mess up your workout where the people around you weren't supportive (or even encouraged you to be lazy!), but you found a clever workaround and got it done anyway? 🏋️‍♀️💪🔥 Full story On Monday evening, I found out I had to attend a meeting from 6–7 PM on Tuesday. 📩 That was exactly when I should have been doing my interval training at the stadium! 🏟️💨 🚫 I had already "boiled my fuel"—a big pot of grains, beans, and seeds—specifically calculated to match my TDEE for that intense training session. 🫘🍲 ⚖️ Initially, I was stumped, so I asked my partner for advice. Guess what reply I got?!? "Just eat them all," knowing full well I couldn't do my interval training! 😱🤯 ❌ 🥘 I was shocked! ⚡ That whole pot was meant to replenish my glycogen after a short burst of exercise; otherwise, I’d be in an extreme calorie surplus! 📈🥘⚠️ I sat down with myself and brainstormed some alternatives to that crazy suggestion. 🧠💡 🤔 Here they are: - 1st option: Eat half on Tuesday and save the rest for Wednesday (but re-weighing everything is such a hassle!). ⚖️🙄 🥗 🕒 - 2nd option: Go to the stadium and run intervals solo (but then no one would be there to watch my bags and belongings). 🎒👀 🏃‍♂️ 🔒 - 3rd option: Join a different running club at a park that starts and ends later, even if their workout is different. 👟🌙 🌳 🏃‍♀️ It’s now Tuesday evening here, and I chose Option 3! 🥳 I’m heading home now, enjoying my "sweet treats" (that pot also contains Whey Protein Concentrate with artificial sweetener) and feeling accomplished! 🥣🍫 🙌🎉 ✨

Sunday is my anniversary!!! We will go to Red Lobster like we do every year I’m ready to indulge in crab 🦀 and shrimps. I will also have dessert 🍨. We only celebrate 18 years of marriage once.

I want to share something about one of our clients, Kara. She's a doctor. Long hours, random shifts, eating whenever she could fit it in. For years she'd been losing and regaining the same 10-15 lbs. She'd lose weight for a couple of months, get sick of what she was doing, stop, and by April she was heavier than when she started. On top of that, she was pre-diabetic. So we didn't put her on a diet. We just taught her how food actually works. How calories work. How protein works. How to build meals that keep you full without eating like a monk. She was still eating takeout when she was too tired to cook. Still having snacks. Still living a NORMAL life. 🔥 Down 26 lbs. But the bigger win was that she reversed her pre-diabetes diagnosis. That's the stuff that actually matters long term. Anyways.. if you've ever told yourself that nothing works for you, or that you're the exception, I just wanted to remind you that you're probably not. You've just never been taught the fundamentals properly. Shoutout coach @Carlos Hellstern for the support! 🫡 Feel free to DM me if you want to lose all your excess body fat, still live your life, and guarantee your results ♥️
