Nutrition and fitness matter and are important when it comes to your overall health
..but they aren’t all that matters and they’re not the only things that are important
✅ Sometimes, you'll say 'yes' to consuming a metric ton of veggies and exercising w/friends
✅ Sometimes, you'll say 'no' to dessert to hit your calories
✅ And other times, you may need to sink into your couch, binge-watch some New Girl, and enjoy some ... guilt free
Or in this case... head to a ballgame and crush some hotdogs and fries 🌭 🍟
🙏🏻 Your overall health will thank you for all of the above... at different times
Progress ain't just a numba on da scale 😎

is the man
Swipe to hear a little of his story
TLDR version:
✅ he lost weight,
✅ felt better,
✅ and improved his health without guilt, misery... and starving himself
That's a lot of wins
Legend has it... he still frequents Raising Cane's 🍗
Do me a favor...
If you're frustrated with where you're at nutrition and fitness wise...
You never feel confident in your clothes...
You're sick of crazy diets... unrealistic workouts...
Friggin message me

Here's something to try:
Start experimenting with and building skills around letting your hunger/internal cues be your guide
1️⃣ Eat when you're physically hungry
2️⃣ Slow down, be present, and take your time at meals
3️⃣ Stop when you're satisfied
Whether it’s week day or weekend...
Early AM or late PM...
Family dinner or happy hour...
These are SOLID anchor habits
No, it won't happen over night...
Yes, it will take time/practice...
And you're not going to be perfect at it
But it's legit freeing
Not sure how or where to start... DM me "FOODIE" and let's chat 💬

Game changing
I’m not saying you can’t EVER “bring in da noise bring in da funk” (aka recognize when you can push yourself)
Just maybe not 6 days a week

I've had TWO spots open up this month
So, let's chat
It's already August (I swear it was just January 🤔)
Soon, you'll blink and it'll be the holidays
Holiday parties, family get togethers, and copious amounts of delicious foods
Here's my encouragement...
Don't wait:
🛑 For when things are less busy
🛑 For when you find the right workout program
🛑 For the beginning of the year
Just start... now
Take action... reach out to me if you have:
1️⃣ tried dieting before and it hasn't worked (at least sustainably)
2️⃣ never used an approach that fits your life (vs one that requires you to fit your life into a rigid plan)
3️⃣ no idea how to reach your goals with a busy schedule and a never ending list of to-dos
But... you:
✅ know something has to change
✅ are committed to taking action
✅ are down to learn how to track your food (photo food journal, hand portion, or calorie/macro style)
✅ consider yourself to be coachable
✅ are willing to ask for help and lean on the community, program resources, and myself
DM me/comment below with the "🍩"
And we can chat 😎

Truth alert: creating a healthy lifestyle isn't "all-or-nothing."
There's levels to this stuff.
You're not an angel for eating your spinach and you're not evil when you eat a donut.
There isn't one perfect workout style, exercise, duration...
Some movement is better than no movement.
The fact is, depending on your life and situation, different choices will be more or less right for you in that moment.
And it's way more freeing to assess those choices on a continuum of "better" to "worse" versus "good" or "bad."
Basically, I'm saying that learning how to think on a continuum is empowering and crazy important for your long-term, sustainable success.
BONUS: it also applies to so many more areas than just health and fitness.
It's really a beautiful thing.

Low key effort today (can be done from a couch, your bed, the toilet 🫢)
Take a few secs, let me know… and drop it, drop it below ⬇️

I feel 25... but also, these hips don't lie 😬
𝐀𝐧𝐲𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬...
Chances of this going viral = 0/10
Chances of this changing your life = 10/10
These seem so friggin simple... almost too simple 🤨
And they are... but don't get it twisted
That doesn't mean easy
Pick ONE that sounds good to you
Carve out time in your calendar for it 🗓
And get after some imperfect action 😤
Much love

We've all been there... and it's 100% normal.
Maybe it's a Saturday morning brunch with frans
You show up thinking "I'll have an egg white omelette and just one mimosa."
Next thing ya know, you're:
➡️ 3 slices of French Toast down (wondering when your extra side order of bacon is gonna arrive)
➡️ and telling the waiter to "keep those bottomless mimosas coming daddy"
Livin ya best life... 😎
Until the next morning... when you feel a cold hard slap in the face laced with guilt, shame, and regret... 😖
Because you've no doubt... ruined your progress.
Listen up.
No skimming by... capeesh?!
You didn't ruin your progress.
You're not a failure.
And though you're probably thinking "I might as well give up..."
You shouldn't.
Once more for those who did skim (you promised!)
Your progress is just fine.
It's not ruined.
It's not over.
Don't quit.
Don't give up.
Binged Oreos and Nutter Butters all weekend??
Haven't worked out since the last time the temperature gauge read below 90 degrees??
Who cares... you're ok.
The only way you "fail" is if you just stop... give up... throw in the towel... call it quits.
Otherwise, you're fine.
Seriously.
I promise.
So be nice to yourself.
Practice some self compassion.
Get up, get at 'em, get after it...
And keep friggin going.

➡️ Workout buddies are the best...
➡️ When it comes to music, pick your poison - rock, hip hop, edm, etc (just please no classical 😒)...
And get after it
➡️ Regressions - stop being a lemon 🍋 and friggin use em
Meeting yourself where you're at is MASSIVE
The quality of your movement will be lightyears better
Which means better progress & long-term, sustainable training 😤
