Stop just *following* meal plans... learn how to build YOURS! 🛠️ My goal isn't just to give you plans, but to give you the *skills* to master your nutrition for good. 🙌

Here’s a quick look at the logic behind structuring your macros, using this 1800-calorie, 5-meal day as an example:

🎯 **The Goal:** ~1800 Cals | 135g P | 180g C | 60g F

⚙️ **The Method:**
➡️ Split Protein (135g) & Carbs (180g) evenly across all 5 meals for consistent energy. (That's 27g P / 36g C per meal!)
➡️ Divide Fats (60g) across 4 meals (15g F each). We keep the post-workout meal fat-free for speedier nutrient absorption when your muscles need it most! 🚀

Check out the graphic to see the exact breakdown per meal!

Understanding the *why* helps you make smarter choices and adjust as needed. Master the method, master your results! ✨

Had big plans for a super informative post today about healthy meal prep but... it'll still be there for me to do tomorrow.

Today's takeaway is... no one can do all the things on the to do list in one day. So don't beat yourself up for those things you missed.

Just set yourself up to do and manage what you can, work each day towards being the best you, and advancing toward your goals. Focus on what you did.

Eat the frog 🐸 make the main thing the main thing ☝️ and for the love of all things holy please stop trying to major in the minors ⚾️

3 tips for staying on top of your health 👇

🩺Find a doctor that you like, you can talk to openly, and one that listens to your concerns. DONT settle. If they don't ask questions to look for the root of the problem and instantly write scripts to solve any complaint, it is time to find a new doctor. I recommend scheduling an appoint to establish care and interview physicians prior to selecting them.

💉Do your annual physical and any other routine testing that fits your family history. Preventative care > sick care. You don't wait until your vehicle is having issues before you get an oil change. Don't wait until you have issues to address your health.

🗣ADVOCATE FOR YOURSELF. Just because they have a PHD doesn't mean what they say is gospel. Ask questions to understand. Go to specialist for treatment of anything that isn't general care. The human body is complex and their is no way for a doctor to know all the things that their is to know about every system. General practitioners should be for general care such as physicals, sinus infections, cold/flu. Again, you wouldn't typically take advice about your car from the air conditioner repair man so don't take advice about your hormones from the general doctor.

YOUR health is YOUR responsibility. You only get one body, keep up with your maintenance.

**"Behind the Highlight Reel**

I’ve been off lately. It is hard to admit, especially as a health coach, but it’s true. I’ve been hanging off the side of the wagon when it comes to my own wellness routine and my goals.

I know it might seem like I have it all together, but the truth is, everyone struggles. Social media can often paint a picture of perfection, but that’s far from reality. Even those of us who seem to have it all figured out go through ups and downs.

With the normal stresses of being an adult plus growing 2 businesses across 2.5 social media platforms, being a bonus mom in a high conflict situation, bodybuilder, blue collar wife all with ADHD (which is my super power) I’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and like I'll never have enough hours in the day to get it all done. I haven’t been making time for myself, and it’s taken a toll. I’ve been skipping workouts, eating trash, and not getting enough sleep. It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life, but it’s important to remember to take care of ourselves.

I’m am refocusing on my why by focusing on the basics: eating to love/fuel my body, getting enough sleep, and moving my body(training as well as mobility). I’m also making time for activities that I enjoy outside of my work, like quality time with my amazing husband, watching more football, and reading.

I want to be transparent about my journey because I believe that it’s important to be honest about our struggles. It’s okay to not be perfect. What matters most is that we keep trying.

I hope that sharing my experience can inspire you to prioritize your own wellness. Remember, you’re not alone. We all go through tough times. The important thing is to keep moving forward.
