TAKING ACTION: ✅What’s your favorite protein source? And what’s your go-to protein when you need to meet your goal? Let’s swap ideas below and share! As we mentioned yesterday, next week we are going to begin our Strength + Metabolic Reset. I have so much great material headed your way, but in the meantime, we’re going to go ahead and discuss some things this week that will help set you up for a successful month ahead. We’re going to talk a lot about the importance of building lean muscle tissue in the coming weeks—and it’s no secret that your protein intake is a critical piece of the metabolic + muscle building puzzle. 🧩 Studies suggest that around 1 gram of protein per pound of ideal body weight is a good starting point. In short, protein is always your anchor. ⚓️ If you’re eating well rounded diet (protein, vegetables, fruits, beans, etc.) you’re hitting your goals! As we begin our Strength + Metabolic Reset next week, I encourage you to focus on your protein intake. Don’t skimp on it. It is the secret sauce when it comes to both strength and metabolism. 💯 Gluten-Free Teriyaki Chicken Casserole - Cotter Crunch

We have a big week ahead—tomorrow is Feast Day, followed by our optional 24-hour fast on Thursday! Whenever I’m preparing for a Feast Day, I always try to have healthy food on hand to ensure I meet my nutrition goals. Chicken salad is a great option because it can be prepared ahead of time, and all you have to do is grab it from the fridge! Chicken salad is a family favorite for many. It’s easy and so versatile! It’s especially popular in the summertime, as you can enjoy it with crackers, vegetables, or on a sandwich. 🥪 What I love most about chicken salad is that there are dozens of different recipes, and you can easily tweak a few ingredients and have a completely different flavor! Speaking of, did you know that Chicken Salad Chick has 12 different chicken salad options on their regular menu? I went on the hunt for a healthy chicken salad recipe that you can easily make at home and found one that also packs a heavy protein punch! This buffalo chicken salad recipe below has a whopping 47 grams of protein per serving, which will help you reach your goals with ease tomorrow! 👊 You can thank me later…😉 Best Buffalo Chicken Salad Recipe | Clean Eating Couple (thecleaneatingcouple.com) What’s your favorite type of chicken salad?

TAKING ACTION: ✅As always, share your weekly wins below! I want to hear about all of ‘em! Let’s celebrate! 🎉 It’s Friday again, and you know what that means—it’s time to celebrate our weekly wins! 🎉 Of course, I want to hear them all because they’re all important; however, I especially want to hear about any mindset wins this week. We’ve been talking about ways to believe in our capability this week, and hopefully, you’ve implemented these strategies at least a few times so far. You may not notice any real change yet, but I want to remind you that this works the same way as anything else—it’s going to take time and consistency before you can witness the fruit. 💯 Simply putting these strategies into practice is a win, so if that’s all you’ve done, it’s a reason to celebrate! Now, without further ado, let’s get down to business and share our wins from this week! (Bonus points if you encourage the person who comments above you today! 🎉)

TAKING ACTION: ✅In the comments below, tell me your affirmation! Also, tell me two ways you fulfilled this affirmation (or two small wins from today)! I’m holding you accountable for this week, friends! As promised, this week, we’re discussing three different ways you can begin training your brain to believe in its own power or capability. The first strategy I want you to practice this week is ⬇️ 1️⃣Identity-Based Affirmations + Evidence Tracking Affirmations are important because your brain believes what it repeatedly hears and sees. Instead of filling your reality with self-doubt, start declaring bold affirmations such as: “I’m a person who respects my body and makes strong choices for my health.” Say it often throughout the day. Now, you have to prove it to your brain by tracking evidence. At the end of the day, write down at least two wins—no matter how small. The Affirmations + Evidence Tracking works because your brain is a prediction machine. It uses past evidence to predict future behavior. When you give it actual evidence, you begin to think, and therefore, act differently. 💯 I encourage you to try this for the next 2-3 weeks and see what happens. If you want to change your life, you must change your brain. End of story. Now, who doesn’t love a good crockpot recipe—especially when it’s high in protein?!
