TAKING ACTION: ✅Be honest—has food been the enemy for you before? Can you see how this really isn’t true, but rather a belief you’ve integrated for whatever reason? “When eating fruit, remember the one who planted the tree.” —Vietnamese Proverb This month is all about maintenance and gratitude; however, yesterday’s topic was so powerful that I want to continue that conversation. Besides, if it’s true that food is medicine, then that is something we should truly be grateful for. Another thing to be grateful for? ⬇ The realization and belief that food is a gift. It’s easy to say we believe that, but if we truly believed it, we’d act it out, wouldn’t you think? I actually think we all believe this—I just think we’ve been manipulated. Our brains (and bodies) have been hijacked by the food industry (and the diet industry). You see, before there was such a thing as processed food, food really was medicine. It was vitamins. Minerals. Energy. Once ultra-processed food came along, and the diet industry got rich, as a society, we lost our way. We started getting unhealthier than ever, gaining weight, and ultimately, demonizing food. 💯 Tell me this makes sense. Are you beginning to see the bigger picture here?

TAKING ACTION: ✅Let’s talk about the hiccups or stumbles. After reading today’s post, do you see how they can also be good? ✅Tell me in the comments below—what’s one thing you’re grateful for? 💫 “Being grateful does not mean that everything is necessarily good. It just means that you can accept it as a gift.” —Roy T. Bennett I love this quote. Not because it makes me feel good, but rather because it’s true. Friends, here’s what I want you to know and trust—every single piece of this journey is a gift—even the stumbles. Why? Because the stumbles aren’t there to defeat you. They’re there to teach you. We often view our stumbles as “only bad”, but I honestly believe that’s where we get ourselves in trouble. We have this massive negativity complex around our hiccups, and if you’re like most, you spiral afterward. What if you could change how you see your hiccups and stumbles? What if you could also view them as a gift? What if you could ask yourself, “What can this teach me?” Not only is this possible, but through this lens, you can see every part of the journey as a gift. 💫

TAKING ACTION: ✅Be honest—have you been tracking honestly lately? Let’s talk about it today! ✅As we wrap up the first week of the month, share something you’re grateful for today. “As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” —John F. Kennedy Yesterday, I mentioned that if your macros are in check and you’re intentionally moving your body, all you have to do is trust the process as you cycle through the different phases. That brings me to today’s conversation ⬇ You need to answer this question honestly, especially if you have questions about maintenance: 👉 Have you been tracking consistently AND accurately? If you haven’t, today is the day, friends. We can’t gather accurate data, nor can we make an informed decision about your next steps if we don’t have several weeks' worth of solid data. If you’re thinking you’d like to try maintenance in December, you must start tracking honestly today. This advice isn’t just about maintenance. It’s advisable all the time. Your tracking needs to be as accurate as possible and consistent if you want to make the right decisions and “the best next step” in your journey! The moral of the story: Tracking offers DATA. It is a tool that gives insight into the past and the present so that you can make informed decisions about the future! 💯 Check out the article below that explains why keeping track of your data is important!
