You don’t need a meal plan..you need more sustainable habits

You will start to make progress on your health journey when you stop seeing it as something you need to get “back on track” with

Tracking macros and counting calories ≠ being healthy

You don’t need to “make up” for overeating this weekend. Just go back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Maybe it’s not that you have no willpower around snacks, maybe it’s that you are actually hungry 🤷‍♀️

IDK who needs to hear this, but stop looking for more information, and start doing what you know you probably need to do

If you try and change your habits without first changing the way you think about yourself, your new habits won’t last very long

The reason you struggle to stay consistent with your healthy eating is because you’re only doing it with hopes of losing weight

Instead of quitting…make it easier

Being “ready” to start on a health journey is a myth. You start. You slip up. You make mistakes. And you keep going.

PSA: if you’re a grown adult, you need more than 1500 calories/day. A lot more.

Maybe stop listening to influencers who tell you that everyone has the same 24hrs in a day.  We don’t.  Don’t expect yourself to be able to do everything that you see online. Be honest about your life, options, and limitations. Give yourself grace and do the best that you can.

Don’t know where to start? Break the habits that you want to adopt into their smallest pieces. Want to build a fitness routine? Do 5 pushups at home every morning.  Want to eat healthier? Add a fruit or a veggie to every meal.  Lower the barrier to entry and just start.

The first step to not falling off the wagon is to not think about your healthy habits as a wagon in the first place

The purpose of eating well & exercising isn’t for weight loss. These habits are your front line defense against chronic physical and mental health concerns.

Some days your health journey looks like hitting the gym, getting 10k steps in, eating 3 home cooked meals, and sleeping 8hrs  Other days it looks like making the best choice at the drive thru because life is hectic  And that’s OK

Your diet isn’t sustainable if you don’t like what you eat

Don’t underestimate the power of doing the “simple” and “small” things consistently.

The man who loves to walk will go further than the man who loves his destination

Consistency beats perfection when perfection isn’t consistent
