  • Wooo man, what a week! As I’ve said forever it seems, you can be stubborn in your goals, but stay flexible in your methods. Between kids out of school most of the week with all the lovely cold and ice, our youngest getting a pretty severe concussion Friday at recess (he’s good now and recovering), our oldest having a soccer tourney today with a windchill of 6 degrees, then getting tangled up with another player and hitting her head on the turf which prompted another ER visit and another concussion (very mild)…basically how I planned to end this week and game didn’t go anything like I planned.

    First and most importantly, I am SO FRIGGIN’ PROUD of all of you! Whether you made the 4% goal for this game or not, you still won simply in the fact that you committed to taking four weeks to create healthier habits, both in your fitness and nutrition. Now, I hope you continue those habits moving forward! Remember, this game was about learning which habits and practices are not sustainable in your daily life and which ones you can keep focusing on to keep heading the right direction to your goals.

    I realize I owe y’all another live stream and workout and again am so sorry the way this week ended! If you do have any burning questions that you are still needing answers for, please put them in the comments below so they can get answered!

    Congrats to everyone again and THANK YOU for making me have the most fun job on the planet, in getting to continue helping people find the healthiest and happiest version of themselves!

So happy to have hit my goal but more importantly to stay consistent for 30 straight days, even through my birthday! I’ve learned so much and will be continuing this journey hybrid calendar! Thank you Joel!

Happy Friday!

Going into the weekend you may have family dinner or an event to attend and your well meaning friends and family that show their love with food may be there. If have a food pusher in your life don’t feel guilty for saying no for your health and/or goals sake.

Here are a few things to say to the food pushers in your life so you can stay consistent in your nutrition:

- A simple and polite "no thank you"
- Say "no thank you" and then change the subject
- "That looks delicious, but I am full and couldn't eat another bite"
- "Thank you, I had a big breakfast and am not hungry yet but will try some later"
- "I would love try some of your xyz but I am not hungry right now, I would love to take some home for later"
- "I have had plenty, but thank you"

Feel free to share in the comments how you navigate food pushers!

I wrote a few of those down to use in the future. I get this happening a lot at work when people have potlucks and special events. No can be such a challenging word at times.
