This week I want to show up a little differently… not as someone who has it all figured out, but as someone figuring it out in real time. Lately, I’ve been struggling with protein. Not motivation, not consistency—but actually giving my body what it needs. And truthfully… asking for help doesn’t come naturally to me. I’ve always been the type to just get on with things and work it out on my own. But this time, I chose differently. I asked Coach @Darren Liu for his live Q&A, and especially my coach @Carlos Hellstern —diving deeper, asking more questions about protein and how to actually make it work for me. Thank you 🙏 And honestly? That shift changed a lot. Now I’ve got the right tools, the right guidance… and I’m realising it’s not actually as big or as overwhelming as I made it in my head. It’s funny how our minds can turn something small into something massive. Because real health isn’t about having all the answers… it’s about being open enough to learn, grow, and ask for support when you need it. So this is me, leaning into that. Anyone else working through something right now that felt way bigger in your head than it actually is?

Hello from Toronto, Canada! I ran the Tokyo Marathon last month and haven't done much since then. With a fractured toe and strained hamstring, I'm hoping I'll be able to build muscle and strength to prevent future injuries. Especially as I approach turning 50.

How are some of you tracking your workouts? Are you using a specific app? I’m currently using smart gym but some of the workouts I do are not in the app! So far it’s good but wondering what you all are using .. would love to check out other options. Please and thank you ☺️

Do you ever find yourself thinking you could go for a large bowl of your favourite chips ? Lately I’ve found myself thinking that more often. I never actually do it but I will have 1 or 2 chips sometime. I was being good and not buying any chips for a whole 2 weeks but last weekend I ended up buying 3 large bag from Costco. My son grabs large bowls of them and goes through a bag in a couple of days. Seeing him enjoy it makes me want some even more. What do you do when you can’t stop thinking about a food?

We talked about: - a lot of strength training strategies - taste buds changing - choosing compound or isolation exercises - creatine cycling? - low fat diets - how to get more protein - free weights vs machines Thanks for joining and living through the toddler-tantrum stress with me! ♥️
