So yesterday I got my piece of cheesecake and it was soooo good. The thing is I also had some ice cream lol 😝 But I’m not sorry and I’m planning ahead and having another piece of cheesecake today.

The birthday celebration continues 🎉 and this is REAL LIFE. Back-to-back social events… and I didn’t spiral. This is what happens when you’re equipped with the tools from BBB Inner Circle ⭕️ Let’s be real — it feels AMAZING to enjoy social meals and still align with your goals. Will progress maybe be a little slower this week? Probably. Am I okay with that? YES. Because my fitness journey doesn’t end after one weekend. 🏋🏻‍♀️ Morning Plan ✔️ Strength day ✔️ Church ✔️ High-protein anchor breakfast Breakfast (403 cal) 24.3g carbs | 9.4g fat | 61.2g protein Starbucks doppio + Elite vanilla shake + Magic Spoon + Fairlife milk 🥗 Lunch (Urban Plates) 650 cal 42.6g carbs | 32.3g fat | 45.3g protein • Grilled salmon (no sauce) • Double asparagus • Rustic bread • Light teriyaki Protein anchored. Balanced. Planned. 🌮 Birthday Dinner at Mom’s (Mexican Sopes Night) We get this annually. My first instinct? “I want 3 sopes.” What I actually did: ✔️ ONE corn sope ✔️ 93% ground beef ✔️ Mixed veggies + cabbage ✔️ Red salsa ✔️ Beans ✔️ Second plate protein-style (no sopes) Dinner (942 cal) 71.1g carbs | 31.7g fat | 79.1g protein 📊 Total Calories: 1,995 Goal: 1,700 ➡️ Still in a calorie deficit. No guilt. No restriction. No “I’ll start over Monday.” Just awareness and intention. And the BEST part? I hadn’t seen my partner’s brother and his wife in months. They looked at me and said: “Wow 👀 Lena you look skinny. What are you doing?” I smiled and said, “Thank you for noticing. I’m working hard — focused on nutrition and working out.” Then siblings being siblings… They roasted my partner 😂 “What happened to you? Lena is looking skinny and you’re still big bro 😎 Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years are over! What’s your excuse? Waiting for President’s Day to lose weight?” My partner: “Hey man I lost 20 lbs! Lena has me tracking food and making my ass go to the gym.” 😂 We laughed. It was love. It was fun. And that moment? That’s what this is about.
