Update on my 12 lb weighted vest: I learned real quick that 10–20 minutes is my max right now. My body felt like a truck ran it over 😂 My back was SO sore, so I’m easing it down and dialing it back a bit. For now, I’m wearing it once a day during my walk for about 10–20 minutes max. Of course, my partner had to be a smart ass and said, “You didn’t read the instructions and follow through. That’s why your back is sore.” Me: 🙄 “Whatever, bruh.” Then I told him Coach Darren said it’s actually a good way to enhance strength and burn extra calories — but yes, noted, I need to take it easy. At least I’m challenging myself. And then he stayed quiet 🤫😝 Lesson learned: challenge yourself, but don’t let your ego wear the vest longer than your body is ready for. Question: Have you ever tried something new thinking, “I got this,” and your body humbled you real quick?

Back on my meal prep game and this one did NOT disappoint 🤤Volume, protein, and flavor all in one 🔥 ➡️ Makes: 7 servings➡️ Calories: ~315 per serving 🛒 Ingredients (total batch): - 307g riced cauliflower - 160g medium grain rice (Nishiki) - 65g spinach - 150g mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn) - 72g liquid egg whites - 4 large eggs - 133g pork & chicken sausage - 218g chicken meatballs (Amylu) - 56g oyster sauce - 10ml fish sauce - 9g sesame oil 👩‍🍳 How I made it: 1. Cook rice ahead of time (day-old rice works best 🙌) 2. Heat pan + add sesame oil 3. Cook sausage + chicken meatballs until browned 4. Add mixed veggies + spinach (yes, I just throw it in 😄) 5. Push everything to the side → scramble eggs + egg whites 6. Add rice + cauliflower rice 7. Mix everything together 8. Add oyster sauce + fish sauce 9. Stir fry until everything is combined and heated through 🍱 Portion:Divide evenly into 7 containers 💡 Why I love this: - Protein-packed 💪 - Volume from cauliflower rice = keeps me FULL - Balanced carbs for energy - Perfect grab-and-go meal prep ❓Question for you:What’s your go-to fried rice hack or ingredient swap? 👇

I had to try this one… warmed-up Choco Pie for 15 seconds with vanilla ice cream on top and honestly… it satisfied. 😋 Sometimes it’s not about being “perfect” — it’s about enjoying the treat, logging it, and moving on. Because WHY NOT? Life and macros can both have room for a little sweet moment. 🙌✨

The team secured a spot to the finals by 0.4 seconds. To illustrate, that's about the average rate a person blinks. i.e. you're mid-blink and that's it, you've missed it. For Finals, the nerves are up because now we're fighting for a spot on the podium. Deep breath - we've trained like we're racing so that we can race like we're training. We got this! We emptied our tanks! Everything! ALL OUT! Like that race was our last! My heart was pounding! My lungs were burning! 3RD PLACE 🥉 The past month has paid off. We didn't know what to expect because the environment is so new to us - alas, we did our best and the results speak for itself. So proud of our team! 💪 And super thankful for this community's support! ❤️ love y'all very much! ❤️ We're taking rest for the week; a few of us are going to barre tomorrow, with special request to my barre teacher to guide us through stretching to release and recover post-race.

Im enjoying some homemade ice cream today
