One of the most important things about being on a weight loss or bulking journey is that the daily numbers are not what is important but it’s important to stay consistent and make sure to keep track of the trends overall.

Small changes can lead to big time progress.
You don’t need to starve yourself. You don’t need to beat yourself up w hours long training session. You SURE ASS HELL don’t need to jump on endless cardio session, f**k all that.

“You never know how strong you can get, until being strong is your only option.”

Allow me to reintroduce for this weeks “Client Spotlight”.
She’s not one for too much of the spotlight, so I’ll keep it quick. Monica is one Tough person & her favorite animal is a sloth. 🦥

Training people doesn’t always mean athletes and ball players. Sometimes even “Chingonas” want a little help getting stronger & how to stunt of the haters…respectfully.

She’s done a great job teaching me how to effectively communicate to non athletes and people with ACTUAL health goals. Not with performance or aesthetic goals. She’s helped me understand that not everyone aspires to have 6 packs. Some people workout so they don’t choke people in real life.

As much as she’s learned from me about the importance of sleep, proper training, & lil bits of nutrition. I’ve had the opportunity to learn about the importance of Grace, Slowing down and “Genuflecting for Jesus”!

Keep up the Great Work Monica! 💪🏾

Peanut Butter: A Tragic Love Story.

When you first start tracking you’ll be surprised about how often some foods come up in the rotation. Foods you didn’t even notice you ate much. Foods you didn’t realize were adding 100s of calories to your day and even lbs to your belly. You can fight it. You can avoid it. Or You can even make it fit your plan.

Peanut Butter is my Kryptonite. Peanut Butter is a really calorie dense food but I love it. We used to think PB was a good source of protein, it’s not. It is a good source of fat. Who cares, I love it. I’m talking an inappropriate relationship with Peanut Butter and especially if you add Honey. Bro, spoonfuls to the sico.
I’m not even saying that jokingly.
Especially the crunchy peanut butter, that creamy peanut butter is for the birds.

Give me them…pause!

You really wanna break your own heart, do what I did. I weighed out how much crunchy peanut butter I snack on in a day. It wasn’t pretty. Ask or . They both help keep me accountable with my peanut butter habit.
I still find ways to eat it, I just am able to hit my weight goals as long as I’m mindful about how much I eat.

What bout y’all? What foods do you smash a whole bunch of, if you’re not careful?
