PSA: You don’t have to get super sweaty during your workout for it to count 💪🏻

Maybe she’s more disciplined than you. Or maybe she just has systems in place that make the healthy choice the easy choice.

What to do when you haven’t worked out in a while: Restrict your food intake? NO❌ Punish yourself with multiple workouts a day? NO❌ Choose a day to get back at it, pick an exercise, & do it. YES💪🏻

Monday is a great day to get back on track. So is Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Every day, heck, every meal is a chance to get back on track.

The results you’re looking for are in: ✔️The walks you aren’t taking ✔️ The weights you aren’t lifting ✔️ The vegetables you aren’t eating ✔️ And the quick fix mentality you aren’t ditching

It’s okay if you’ve gained weight during the pandemic. If you want to lose weight, that’s fine. If you don’t want to, that’s fine too. Regardless, go buy some clothes that fit you in the meantime so you can be comfortable this summer 🙌🏻☀️😎

PSA: You can lose inches without losing weight. Stop using the scale as your only measure of success. It’s a sure-fire way to always feel disappointed.

If you have to restrict food, obsess about food, or always think about food to maintain your goal weight, it’s time to change your goal weight or ditch the scale all together and focus on how you feel. You can change your body composition without the scale changing.

You want faster results? Lift weights 3 days/wk instead of 1. Eat 3-4 cups of vegetables/day instead of 1-2. Keep going instead of throwing in the towel. Work with a professional. Find someone to keep you accountable. The more often, the better.

1st day of the month goals: 1. Reflect on last month. Did you accomplish your goals? Why or why not? What systems & support do you need this month? 2. Take metrics👉🏻weight, waist, & progress photos. 3. Pat yourself on the back for not giving up & keep going!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

It's okay to have peanut butter instead of pb powder. It's okay to have peanut butter instead of almond butter. It's okay to have peanuts instead of walnuts. Let's stop hating on peanuts ✌🏻🥜

"If you want something you've never had, you've got to do things you've never done." 👆🏻or maybe you just need someone to keep you accountable to the things you already know you need to do

You can change how you feel, how you look, and how healthy you are without the number on the scale ever changing. Read that again.

Do I eat perfectly at every meal? No. But do I try my best to eat perfectly at every meal? Also no.

We're less motivated at the end of the day and the end of the week so front load your habits. 🥗 Make complex recipes Sunday-Tuesday 💪🏻 Workout in the morning 🗓 Schedule things at the beginning of the month/week It has to be easy to do but also easy to KEEP DOING👏🏻

How’s your diet going today? Just a reminder that emotional eating isn’t wrong. Food is comforting. If you want some 🍕🍪🍷tonight, have some and enjoy it without guilt. I think that’s the least of our worries right now.

Things to not freak out about right now: the scale What to focus on instead: which healthy habits you’ll tackle in January to get you to your goals
