Honest tracking question for the group 👀 I asked my partner how he logged dinner at my mom’s house yesterday, and he said he just copied my macros over to his. I challenged it (because we didn’t eat the same cuts or portions), and it made me pause and think… If we’re tracking just for a ballpark, where do we personally draw the line between “good enough” and “accurate enough”? For me, tracking helps me learn — so accuracy matters more than perfection. But I also get that not everyone tracks for the same reason. Curious how you all approach this 👇 • Do you estimate? • Copy when meals are similar? • Or aim for best-guess accuracy every time?

So after the situation I had yesterday with the Korean pepper paste I realized I’ve not been helping my relationship with food. 🥘 I wanted a soup today so I decided I would just make one with the pepper paste instead of trying to change for something different that would just not taste the same. Here is the macros

When it’s freezing outside and your bed feels like a weighted blanket, how do you convince yourself to go to the gym anyway? Let’s be real: winter hits different. The sun disappears at 4pm. The air hurts your face. Your car is basically an ice cube. And suddenly “rest day” starts feeling like a lifestyle. So if you’re feeling unmotivated lately… you’re not lazy. You’re human. But here’s the thing I’ve learned: motivation is unreliable. Your “why” is the thing that shows up when motivation doesn’t. The Winter Struggle Is Real In cold weather, everything takes more effort: - Getting out of bed - Changing into gym clothes - Driving there - Warming up - Starting that first set And once you skip one day, it’s easy to skip two… and then the “I’ll start Monday” cycle creeps in. So what actually works? I Don’t Wait to “Feel Like It” I use one simple thought: “Future me will be glad I did this.” Not because every workout is amazing. Not because I’m always fired up. But because every time I keep a promise to myself, I build something bigger than a body. Here’s the Secret: Your Why Has Layers Your “why” doesn’t have to be dramatic. It just has to be true. Some examples: - Health: “I want to be strong for my kids and my future.” - Confidence: “I feel better when I keep my word to myself.” - Stress relief: “The gym is where I drop the mental weight.” - Energy: “Movement gives me energy even when I feel tired.” - Identity: “I’m the kind of person who doesn’t quit when it’s inconvenient.” Your why can be simple.Your why can be messy. Your why can change. But it has to be yours. My Cold-Weather Rule When I’m not motivated, I make the goal smaller: Just get there. - That’s it! Not “crush a PR.” Not “do the hardest workout ever.” Just show up, move your body, and let momentum do the rest. Because 20 minutes done > 0 minutes planned. A Reminder for the Unmotivated Days... You don’t need perfect conditions. You need a reason and a next step. Put your gym clothes out the night before.
