Writing in today to talk about how excited I am about the two modules I got finished yesterday for my upcoming course. It’s going to be a good one! It’s for the person who struggles to make time for breakfast - they know they “should” be having breakfast and they probably “should” be having something other than a pastry or granola bar — but no matter how much they want to, they just can’t seem to make this change. I’m excited because it’s not just another protein cheatsheet with a list of protein ideas for breakfast. I know you have one of those sitting in your inbox somewhere that you read once and then forgot about. I actually get into the nitty-gritty of behavior change science and work on helping you overcome all the excuses that your brain throws at you when you try to take on this new habit. More to come on that as I continue to work on it and eventually get a Priority List up for those of you who might be interested. 🙌 But today, I wanted to share a little tweak to build a new habit. Think about it like going on a trip. Some of us, when we get ready to go on a trip write out a packing list of everything we think we will need to take on the trip. Look at your new habit like that. What are all the materials you will need to get it done? Think in terms of physical items. But then also, what are all the mental mindset shifts you might need to have? And then, just as you would make sure to pack layers and a raincoat in case of bad weather - what do you need to pack in case of obstacles or challenges? Maybe you need some positive affirmations, or you need some support from others. Write it all out on a checklist that you can go through ahead of time to help you think about the process of actually going through the new habit. Let me know if you try this and how it goes! Cheers, |

I see this every New Year: A client shows up to their onboarding call, eyes bright with determination. They’ve emptied out their pantry of every “bad” food in favor of fresh-cut veggies, splurged $200 on some new LuLu leggings, and meticulously planned their new 5 am workout routine. I’ve felt that excitement, that rush of believing “this time will be different.” But here’s the thing: two weeks later, the strict meal plan will be abandoned, the early morning alarm snoozed, and the workout...
I got called out by a friend at Friendsgiving. I was talking about the Pumpkin Spice Maple Pecan cheesecake I had made from scratch and how it probably would have been better with a maple pecan drizzle, but I couldn’t be bothered to take the time to do that because the glaze would be hot and then partially melt the cheesecake and then I would have to reset it in the fridge, and it would be a whole process. So I just didn’t. My friend laughed and said that the way I could put in the energy and...
It’s rave day! 🦄🌈 Today, I am going to Dreamstate, a must festival here in SoCal that I have been going to since 2016. The festival runs from 1 pm to 1 am, with afters that go till 6 am both Friday and Saturday. This is my "epic shit" that I have been training for. I am very much treating this as an endurance sport. This week, I made sure to get in two lifting sessions and my “now” regular morning walks, but I’ve made it a lighter deload recovery week in preparation. Today is the day that I...
