We welcomed a new grandson this morning. Mom and baby are doing great. My son is a blubbering mess. Can't wait to hold him.

30 min run ✅ Thrive workout ✅ Way ahead on my water and protein for the day. Hunger is real with the added workouts! Seeing results with consistency! Especially in my back muscles. These photos are a year apart and 30lb weight difference.

Day 8 - knocked my outdoor workout early even when I had the day off from work. Knew I just wanted/needed to get it over with. Day 9 - tonight was the first time I had to fight through the urge to just not do my outdoor workout. Why tonight made no sense considering it was the warmest it’s been in a few days. Got it done though! Cross your fingers for me the air temp isn’t as cold as they’re predicting for Friday and Saturday. I’m talking they’re thinking we could break record low air temp. 🥶

Got ‘er done!

I was 8g short on protein yesterday and thought about chugging some clear right before bed. Ultimately I decided not to. After being on the education call and talking to Ashlynn about cramming in protein at the end of the day when I fall short - mainly so I can check the protein box - she said if I’m close and full, I don’t have to have more protein just to hit the number 🤯. Challenge accepted and I acknowledge that sometimes it’s better to listen to my body and what it needs vs. forcing a goal. It was hard not to check that damn box (which was also the kicker for not getting my overall checkmark for the day) but felt good to shift my mindset, listen to my body, and break my OCD box checking habit. And guess what?! I didn’t die 😂
