Weekly check-ins are part of the program, and don’t think I’m skipping out on them either. May 1: 197 lbs Today: 189 lbs Down 8 pounds so far. For reference, I’m 5’11” Small actions repeated over time add up.

What’s one win you’ve had this week so far? Could be something in the gym, eating better, getting more done, handling stress better, or just showing up when you didn’t feel like it. And if the week hasn’t gone great yet, no worries. What’s one thing you’re going to do before the week ends to get a win on the board? Let’s hear it 👇

Feeling like you belong is priceless…. Thank U MD

Big congratulations to the young Buck here @Michael Dent 🎓 Michael just graduated college, which is a huge accomplishment… but honestly, it’s been awesome watching his growth outside the classroom too over the past year. Fitness started as a way to improve his body and confidence, but it also became a way to build discipline, find community, and really figure out who he is becoming. That’s what this is all about. Everybody show Young Buck some love in the comments 👇🏻 Congratulate him, give him advice, or roast him a little 😂 Proud of you brother. Big milestone. 💪

Good Morning everyone! Happy Saturday! I want to share some encouragement with all of you who travel for business and find yourself in stressful situations, long days, lack of sleep, and business lunch/dinners you didn’t pick, and therefore lack control over. Going into this trip last week…. I was really nervous. I’d been doing so good, crushing workouts and nutrition dialed…. I knew this trip was coming for a while to an international conference and it gave me anxiety. Think 16+ hour days with industry suppliers and analysts, business dinners with suppliers at restaurants of their choosing, and 38 “speed dating” meetings in just under 3 days with suppliers and analyst's. it’s a marathon. Sharing my anxiety with Michael before I left, in my head I had already thrown in the towel and 100% expected I’d gain 10 lbs this week. Michael was of a different opinion and made me a customized plan for the week with a goal to Maintain, not GAIN! What happened? I took the plan seriously, got my 2 required workouts in (even though I was exhausted) walked an average of 15k steps per day in and out of meetings in DT Vancouver, and followed nutrition advice. I didn’t hold back on trying new things… with the key word being (Try). I stuck to Diet Coke as my vice instead of cocktails at cocktail hour, and for meals I had control over I ordered a chicken or fish dish and side salad. When I got home, a little bloated from the week…. However I actually LOST 2 pounds!!!! I want to shout out to Michael for his plan and pep-talk. Looking forward to getting back into my training plan this next week (I actually miss it) and this past week I really learned Somthing about consistency, showing up (even when it’s hard) and being prepared. To all other BIZ travelers.. it’s hard, yes. But oh so doable too! Mind over matter and make sure you are setting yourself up for success pre-trip and stick to the plan as closely as possible.
