Some sinus issues today, but not going to get me down. Devotions remind me to be thankful for EVERYTHING - and I am. Even the challenges, because that is when I GROW...spiritually, mentally and physically.
Nutrition is on point:

Meal 1: Chicken and rice for breakfast.
Meal 2: Pork loin with strawberries and blueberries for snack.

Workout is also on point:

Hitting the treadmill right now and plan to do upper body later this evening with my oldest. I love that she is taking an interest in staying strong.

Moving through the day one hour at a time. Eventually each hour will add up to a day, the days to weeks and weeks to months. Before I know it, I will reach my goals!

Keep it strong!

Meal 3: Beef patty with broccoli

Meal 4: 'Brownie' - 1tbs coconut oil, 1 tsp almond butter, 1/3 scoop whey protein, 1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder

Meal 5: Tikka Masala Chicken, baked green beans with French onions and bacon piecws, 1/2 c rice

Back/Chest Workout:
15min walk, 1 mile
3/12 50# Upright Row
1/12, 1/10, 1/8 50# Incline chest press
3/12 50# Upright row
1/12, 1/9, 1/7 50# Incline chest press
3-1 minute planks
Sauna time.

Meal 6: 40g whey protein, 8 prunes

After talking with my coach today, I realized I am not PUSHING myself. This was reflected in my weigh-in and measurements today, which have not changed. Benchmarking strength this week, then focusing on intensity the next two weeks. I will then benchmark again. It helps so much to have a professional guiding me! Thanks chelle!!!

I LOVE that you're doing benchmark weeks - it's a GREAT way to track your "gains". Another way to think about it is when you go to start your lifting workout - challenge yourself by grabbing the NEXT weight up, even if you only get TWO reps out. No biggie. Then go back to the regular weight and get your reps out. You don't have to rep out ALL 12 at the higher weight, just a couple. Or one. That's an easy way to push yourself if you're BY yourself. Over time, you'll grab that heavier weight and surprise yourself - and REALLY surprise yourself in your benchmark week. And, eventually, surprise yourself in how ripped you look ;-)
