I don’t always get to go to the mountain but when I do, I’m glad it’s with him.

Happy hump day it seems my birthday calories are going straight to my legs!!
.

I’m FINALLY seeing quad definition after what has felt like forever. (I’m a big baby when it comes to dieting.) But, slow progress is still progress!! And I’m keeping my muscle!!

.
The key thing you want to focus on for retaining muscle (and not turning skinny-fat) in a caloric deficit is making sure you are prioritizing strength training, getting the proper protein amounts, and being very strategic with your post workout nutrition and recovery.

Being social is usually about having food and drinks with your friends, but something I’ve noticed about being more health conscious (especially with the #springsprint challenge) is that we need to find new and creative ways to have fun that don’t involve devouring 10,000 calories worth of greasy food and beer and still enjoying ourselves

Drop some ideas of what you like to do with your friends that help you reach your goals(I need more things)

I have nothing deep and meaningful to say other than I was really feelin’ myself yesterday because my body is feeling good from the inside out.
.
Eat your veggies.
.
Take your vitamins

Fish oil and probiotics rock

Happy hump day!

What do you do post workout and why??
.
Fun fact!
Your muscles don’t grow in the gym.
They grow while they are recovering.
.
What happens when your muscles grow? (I’ll give you a hint, you don’t turn into @schwarzenegger *cough* ladies *cough*) your lean body mass increases!!
.
What happens with more lean body mass?! Higher metabolic rate.
.
Long story longer, growing your muscles helps you lose weight. BINGO.
.
What you put in your body immediately after a workout is just as important as what you put in at the gym. Your body needs a fast absorbing hydrolized whey protein isolate to repair the muscle tears, and a glucose spiking carb source to replenish the glycogen “gas tank”.
.
I use @1stphorm phormula-1 and ignition within 30 minutes of working out because they are backed by science, don’t upset my tummy, and they WORK. These amazing powders keep me from being sore, keep me from losing muscle during fat loss, and help me put in work more often because I’m not as fatigued. CTC is my absolute favorite flavor it literally tastes like my favorite cereal.

PROTEIN OVERNIGHT OATS
If you struggle to hit your protein every day, or if you like delicious overnight oats… This post is for you!!!
This #mealprepsunday (on Tuesday) I decided to not bore you with the same chicken sweet potatoes and veggies (but I will eventually, because I did make them!)
.
I ALWAYS have oatmeal for breakfast, it has so many benefits and keeps me really full in the morning.
BUT, because I eat eggs as well in the mornings.. I end up going into work feeling as full as a balloon.
.
BUT NOT THIS WEEK I’m going to premake my oatmeal and eat it midday as a snack.

ANYWHO, here’s the recipe
-½ cup quick cook oats (uncooked)
-1 tbsp chia seeds
-¼ cup blueberries
-1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or your milk of choice) (use @fairlife for the most protein)
-½ scoop protein powder (I use level-1 from @1stphorm because it also keeps me full and it’s the best tasting, most biodegradable protein out there)
A pinch of cinnamon
Vanilla extract
.
Mix it all up in a jar, and throw it in the fridge overnight to eat the next day!!

Focused a bit more on my booty than usual yesterday because I want to hang on to every little bit of muscle I can during fat loss.

I get a LOT of
People regularly asking “don’t you get sick of eating the same thing every day?”
That’s like asking “dont you get sick of not having to cook every day?”
“Don’t you get sick of not paying at least $8 a day for lunch?”
“Don’t you get sick of eating the way your body likes to be fed?”

The answer is HELLLLLL no!

This week’s meal prep is almost identical to last week’s but I added brussel sprouts.. cause.. every day I wanna be brusselin’
.
Chicken cooked in the crock pot, sweet potatoes roasted for 30 mins and veggies roasted for 30 mins.
I DO add a sauce of choice every day to my chicken.. and tbh that’s as much variety as I need in a day.

Pro tip - decrease fatigue, enhance performance and try not to workout so hard you throw up

I don’t always casually drink protein shakes… But
.
Oh wait.. yes I do.
.
Why?! Cause protein is SUPER IMPORTANTE. That’s why. (and who doesn’t love drinking milk shakes before and after bike rides???)
.
Protein keeps you in FAT BURNING MODE. YASSS.

Anyway, did y'all know my favorite color is NOT blue?? But I think they made that one song about me

I firmly believe that stepping out of your comfort zone is absolutely necessary to succeed in life.
.
Trying something new or being a beginner is the first step to becoming an expert. It’s an opportunity to learn and grow. (Thanks @andyfrisella )
Are you going to be good at whatever it is you are trying right away? No, not usually.
.
Will you feel silly, or inadequate? Yeah, probably.
.
Are you going to be glad you did it? Hell yes!!
.
Here’s a silly picture of me about to embark on a 28 mile bike ride (if any of you know me… I HATE cardio)
.
I never thought my little legs could pedal me that far, and to some that isn’t far at all, but as a beginner.. that’s far AF.
.
But I had a great group of people with me (shout-out to @globalbikes group rides)
.
Tell me when the last time you stepped out of your comfort zone was

WHOOOOOO has trouble getting a proper amount of protein in their diet?!
.
Not this girl! Or her family!
.
Presenting (according to Wyatt) THE best french toast he has ever had.
.
CTC protein French toast.
.
This friend toast has about 25g of protein depending on how you make it (whole eggs etc)
.
Just mix half a scoop of @1stphorm phormula-1 (CTC) in with your eggs where you would usually add cinnamon and other spices. It’s AMAZING.
.
Try it. Love it. Tag me in it.. seriously the best.

I made the mistake of doing leg day 2 days before a long bike ride but oh well.
.
If you want to build a badass booty, or exercise your legs at all.. this post is for you.
.
GLUTE ACTIVATION: why is it important⁉️
.
Your glutes are the POWERHOUSE of your legs. Warm muscles are happy strong muscles. When your glutes are warmed up and activated, it takes the pressure off your knees and back and prevents injury.
.
These are a few warm up exercises I like to do on leg day to activate/warm up my glutes. As well as foam rolling and stretching
.
Also everyone, my Facebook is limiting the amount of people who see my posts, if you see this, leave a comment!

BE PREPARED.
.
I work Sundays, but I know for a lot of people Sunday is the day before they go back to work.
.
If you are someone who works tomorrow…set yourself up for success. Not failure.
.
This isnt just about going to the gym. I know a lot of you don’t even go to the gym and that’s OKAY! Motivation isn’t just about pumping iron.
.
Write a schedule. Figure out your goals. What are you going to accomplish this week? Go grocery shopping, prep some snacks or some lunches so you aren’t reaching for a candy bar in the vending machine. Do an extra chore so when you’re exhausted after work tomorrow you can just relax. Organize your makeup so you know where your favorite eye shadow is tomorrow.
.
Little habits create large successes.
.
Get shit done. And have a happy MFin Sunday.

My 3 day weekend is coming to an end way too fast. Time to prep for the week.
.
What are some things you like to do to set yourself up for success?
.
Mine are: making my meals ✔️ making sure my work clothes are put where I can find them ✔️ keeping Wyatt occupied so he doesn’t throw off my groove ✔️ roll out the knots in my back to prepare for standing all day. ✔️

Transformation Tuesday!!

.
.
I was SOOOO excited when I found the picture on the left. Literally it was a Snapchat and the text on it was “My hamstrings won’t grow. Calorie deficit problems.”

..
The picture on the left was about a year ago eating maybe 1300 calories and using Herbalife. I think I was 130 lbs at this point.

.
A 6 month long calorie increase period and a lot of hard work later… I FINALLY HAVE HAMSTRINGS. I weighed in at 132 lbs yesterday. (that’s 4 lbs lighter than the peak of my bulk) and I’m steadily losing about half a pound a week. Can’t wait to see what other body love I discover.

.
Getting to know your body and how it reacts to food is really cool guys.

Lighting could definitely be better in my room… But here’s day 1 to day 52. Still two weeks to go!

.

I have NOT taken this challenge aggressively because I know I wouldn’t be able to sustain it. Slow and steady wins the race. I’m still eating a decent amount of calories, I’m not starving, im not doing an hour of cardio a day, I only go to the gym 4 days a week, and I’m not a completely nut case like I was the last time I decided to lose weight

.

Anyways, if you want to LEARN, not just lose weight, LEARN how to lose weight, how your body works, and be in control of your goals, send me a message! (Or Iif you just want to sign up for the challenge I’m doing and take all the work out of it)
