Instead of saying ‘no’ to the delicious free bed at the start of the meal, this is what my daughter and I do: 👉 Simply ask for the bread after the main course is finished. You ate the protein. You ate the vegetables. You drank some water. You shared the pasta. You are WAY more likely to say no to the bread or more naturally inclined to eat less of it. Both ways will help you manage your calories better at social meals. It’s also a smart way to ensure your kids don’t fill up on bread before they get to the higher-quality foods. ‼️ REMEMBER: Your toddler’s stomach is the size of their own fist… it’s not that big!

We got a LIIIIIVE tomorrow! Who am I seeing? 😌🔥

After what felt like a whole month of consistency (with a few weekend hiccups), I noticed I wasn’t losing much… and I was constantly feeling bloated, especially after having dairy. So I decided to cut it out — and WOW, what a difference it’s made! This week I focused on staying consistent: ✔️ hitting my protein ✔️ working towards my step goal (not perfect, but better) ✔️ prioritising fibre ✔️ and making my weekends look more like my weekdays I’m so proud to say I’m down 3kg! 🎉 Thank you so much to everyone for the support and tips, and a special shoutout to @Darren Liu for helping me with weekend strategies — they really worked. Could I do things differently? Absolutely. I need to improve my fibre intake and make sure I’m consistently hitting the levels I need, so this week I’ll be planning in more fibre-dense foods. I also want to move more on the weekends: 🏋️‍♀️ Gym on Saturdays is now in the calendar 👟 At least 30 minutes on the treadmill after 💃 And Just Dance with my daughter (because she always asks me to) I also want my three main meals to look more wholesome, so I’ll be adding more veggies to each one. I’m feeling motivated, proud, and ready for this next week. Let’s go! 💪✨

So Chinese New Year is approaching and I’ll be travelling with family. While I look forward to the break, I don’t look forward to breaking my calorie deficit because it will be difficult. For example, I’m already booked to go for a buffet (family loves seafood and it’s a treat). We will be eating out most days. When I travel solo it’s easier to control my food intake but when with family, it’s harder, especially when high protein low calories are not priority. I’m thankful that over the years I’ve ‘trained’ family to also respect my boundaries when it comes to food, but I also want to join them and not be the party pooper. I usually hit 10k steps minimum when traveling and I squeeze in a workout every day if possible. Inevitably I get home and weigh heavier and have to cut back again - it’s exhausting. Does anyone have tips to help me reduce the “one step forward two steps back” dilemma I have?

3 miles on the sand this morning. I'm so happy to be back home on the island. I'm grateful for this community and focused on achieving my goals this year! Nothing can stop us from getting what we want. We just have to stay focused and push through. Have a great weekend! Get outside and get some steps in today! 🙏🏽🤙🏽👊🏽
