By the hair on my chinny chin chin!! 💪?

Woohoo! Made it after all 🎉🎉

I saw “Make a Plan Monday” come and go, and since I missed it, I figured — why not make today Take Care of Business Tuesday?
It’s 6:15 in the morning and I am not on my sofa scrolling. I’m at the gym, dictating this into my phone, running on nothing but coffee — and honestly? That feels like the perfect moment to officially kick off my intermittent fast for the day and get my IF week started.
I had a long weekend starting Friday. I got a lot done, accomplished some things I’m proud of — but my nutrition goals? Not exactly front of mind. I told myself I deserved to treat myself, and maybe that was true, maybe it wasn’t. Either way, I did what I could to compensate by staying active. But here’s the thing I keep coming back to: you can’t outrun your calories. Don’t eat yourself into a corner that takes forever to get out of. Don’t pay your nutrition goals lip service — actually show up for them.
So TCB Tuesday is a real thing now, at least for me. And I’m using it to encourage everyone here to make today a win — not the whole week, not some big dramatic turnaround, just today. Stack enough of those and the goals start to take care of themselves. (selfie with early AM friend)
Let’s go. 💪

Good morning and welcome to Make A Plan Monday!

While I’m terrible at meal prep, I do have to meal plan each week. For some reason the family wants dinner every night?????

Today take a few minutes to plan out some goals for the week-meals, activity, and hydration are all important. I have my meals planned and I’m using the weather to decide exactly what my activity is. It’s supposed to be gorgeous out so workouts get moved outside🎉

Remember, you are amazing and I love seeing all your progress!

I’m three weeks into my new lifestyle, and even though everyone is already asking “are you losing weight?” and even my 8 year old daughter saying “momma, you know how you’re on a diet because you’re fat—well you’re not AS fat as before.” ?? I swear I don’t see any change. The scale has changed and I FEEL different, but I don’t see what everyone else sees, got sure. Even when I think of 8 pounds?? I wouldn’t even consider that enough to notice. Ya know?

Anyway….

Here’s my before and after. From 207-199.
Here’s to another week, lovelies!
We got this ??
