I got this reframe from a book recommended to me by @Alex Nettey Diary of a CEO, and I added my own piece to it. When situations in life are challenging and you know you need to set new habits in place. Instead of saying, "I will do (fill in the blank)" Ask yourself, "Will I do this? Simple example Instead of saying. I will get 10 reps on this set. Move to asking: Will I stop before I get 10 reps on this set? By just switching the framework of how you present the exact same material. The second value and giving yourself a yes or no answer, is more likely to get you the result you asked of yourself. If you want to take this in a spiritual approach to more challenging life endeavors. Instead of saying "I will" Ask yourself "Will I?" Now add another layer and ask "Is this God's Will" This third layer, allows you to surrender to a higher power. If you have been stuck in any trauma or having a challenging time accepting what life is calling to you, this is a life-changing reframe. @Zoli Laczko @Steve Kentala

Realizing that not every meal needs to be a restaurant/social media quality endeavor. As most of you on here are busy with work:life balance, finding meals that you can enjoy on little prep time is important. Doing bulk protein preps in the crockpot, air fryer, or grill is very helpful. Because protein needs to be the main character of each meal, by switching out your carb sources, you can stay creative with your meals without needing to spend a lot of time building your meals. Here a few of my staple meals that are easy to shift depending on prep time I want to use. Easy Breakfast Protein Source (2 scoops of Protein) - Oatmeal Bowl w/ Berries - Pancakes w/ Oat Flour and Chocolate Chips - Muffins w/ Oat Flour and Banana Easy Lunch/Dinner Protein Source (225g of Shredded Chicken or 225g of 96/4 Ground Beef) - Chipotle Style Bowl with Rice - Tacos - Enchiladas - Burgers - Chili w/ Bread - Stir Fry - Pasta - Salads Condiments I primarily stick with: Salsa (5-25 calories) Low Calorie Marinara (30-60 calories) G Hughes Brand BBQ Sauce (10-30 calories) Mustard (0 calories) Greek Yogurt (25-50 calories & is extra protein) Because my protein source is already prepared, I just need to measure out my macros for carbs to get a nearly identical macro total for each meal. 1. What are your go-to fast meals? 2. Do you prepare each meal individually or do you bulk prep your protein? 3. What's your limit on how many meals you can eat the same protein source before you get tired of it?

Keep posting Macros! Level Up Accountability Sheet - Google Sheets First, I want to give a shout out to everyone who is doing a Dry January and beyond. If you are on that boat, and that is all you changed, you are probably already noticing huge improvements in: body composition (particularly through the midsection and triceps) cognitive function energy stress management mood sleep quality As someone who relied heavily on alcohol as a part of my weekend routine, I never wanted to attempt it. My questions for anyone who is participating, cutting back, or temporarily thought about it are: Action Items 1. What were you hoping to accomplish by cutting out alcohol? 2. Have you noticed a significant improvement in one or more of those areas above? 3. If you did notice an improvement, what would be your reason for reintroducing it?
