TAKING ACTION: ✅ When it comes to your metabolic health, which of the factors below do you feel you need to improve? Remember, your metabolism doesn’t do its best work unless your metabolic health is in order. Yesterday, we talked about the differences between metabolism and metabolic health. As you learned, both are important, and living a lifestyle that supports them both is the ultimate goal. 🎯 The good news is that this program does both, and we’ll learn more about that over the next couple of weeks. Next week, we are going to talk more about metabolism, which means we’re going to focus on metabolic health for the remainder of this week. Several things affect your overall metabolic health. Let’s look at four of them below ⬇️ 📌 Diet 📌 Physical Activity 📌 Sleep Quality 📌 Stress Management The scientific reasons behind these factors are, well, sciency. 😉 (You can read more in the article I attached yesterday if this interests you.) The main thing to note here is that our program is a lifestyle—and the reason it’s a lifestyle is that not only is it sustainable, but it also supports our metabolic health. Every strategy we incorporate is to help you become the healthiest version of yourself! We all want a metabolism that functions optimally, but it can’t do so unless we have these metabolic health factors mentioned above in order. Take some time to consider the one(s) you need to work on. 👌

TAKING ACTION: ✅ Share your weekly win below! I want everyone participating today, got it?! Celebrating yourself is an important piece of the puzzle! 🧩 Also, what are your goals this year?!! Alright, friends—even though we aren’t beginning our New Year challenge for another few days, the holidays are officially over, and now is the time to start preparing your minds—and your kitchens for what’s to come! 💯 Next week, you’re going to learn more about why the new year is a great time to pursue goals. If you’re feeling excited (and maybe even a little anxious) for next week, there’s a reason for that. Next week, we’re going to learn how to use it to our advantage! 🔥 In the meantime, we have wins to celebrate! 🎉 Remember when I mentioned yesterday that how you speak to yourself matters? On some level, celebrating your weekly wins is one way to practice this strategy. By taking the time to consider what you did well and celebrating it (especially with others), you are doing the work it takes to change the way you think about yourself—and when you change the way you think about yourself, you start acting more like who you desire to be! So, without further ado, it’s time to celebrate, friends! 🎉

“What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.” ~Zig Ziglar TAKING ACTION: ✅ Share your weekly win—big or small—below! Let’s celebrate and push ourselves forward! 🎉 The small wins matter, friends. Celebrating them along the way is arguably the only way to stay motivated. When you celebrate, even the smallest of wins, you quite literally change your brain a little at a time. Why is this important? ⬇️ It’s important because changing your brain is the key to becoming who you want to be. As the quote says above, “What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals”. He’s not saying achieving your goals isn’t important. He’s simply saying that who you’re becoming in the process is the most important. 💯 The key thing to note here is that you can’t become someone different if you don’t start to think differently. A good way to start thinking differently is by committing to celebrating all of your accomplishments—and that is why we’re going to celebrate our wins today! 🎉 Let’s hear ‘em all! 💥

I’m reading on different ways for cortisol on a app I’m trying and thought I’d share this with y’all It’s crazy how it lines up exactly with what we learn in this group.

TAKING ACTION: ✅ What are your weekend plans? Still celebrating? Need help or encouragement? Share with us below, and let’s chat through it! It’s officially the weekend after Thanksgiving, and the reality is that many of you still have family gatherings to attend. I mean, seriously, holidays are rarely just a one-day event. Can I get an “Amen!”? If you’re still celebrating this weekend, remember that worrying about the past can cause feelings of disappointment and even mild depression. Worrying about the future causes anxiety. Simply focus on where your feet are at any given moment, make the best choice you can—and repeat. 💯 Even if you consumed more calories this past week, rest assured that it’s going to be okay. Even if your pants fit a little tighter next week, understand that you didn’t gain a ton of fat (most likely, the snug-fitting jeans are caused by extra glycogen from extra carbs, which isn’t the same as fat). Trust yourself to jump right back into the game and trust that your body is going to do exactly what it’s supposed to do in the coming days. 🫶 Now, go crush your workout today, and remind yourself that this is just a season of life—and make a promise to give yourself both truth and grace!
