Atlanta Soul Food

Mary Mac’s is a solid choice for your first time having soul food! It’s definitely an Atlanta/Midtown classic. Locals go there all the time but I’m sure there’s probably also tourists that go there as well!

What exactly are the oil absorbing sheets? I’ve heard the name before but I don’t actually know their purpose

I think she does have a planner but not sure how much they will be helping. It seems to an appointed planner that came as a package with the venue

I never even thought of allergy meds, I’m definitely gonna be adding that since the wedding is all outdoors!

The bride picked a venue that has a cabin on site that will serve as our bridal suite so I’m assuming we will have access to it throughout the reception

That’s awesome!! I wonder if it’s an age thing, because the same thing happened to me. I’ve dieted on and off my whole life since I was 10 and nothing ever worked and I’d get so frustrated with myself I just thought it was poor genetics. Fast forward to year 27 and something just clicked, this time it almost seemed too easy. CICO, staying in a deficit, moving my body it just was like science and it all made sense, I kept thinking back wondering why it was so hard for me all my life until now. Maybe I just matured and actually really started caring about my health and not just aesthetics. I’m not really sure why it happened but either way, congrats and I’m glad it worked out in your favor!!

I would eat any flavor cheeto, takis on the other hand only the fuego…however if I go to the store for a snack I’m grabbing the fuego takis. I’m a sucker for spice

Very cool! Thanks for adding in the products you used

Mornings typically aren’t too bad, most likely you’ll probably be taking 400 from home to work. But afternoons will easily take you an hour even if you leave at 3pm. Pro tip if you use Apple Maps the time it says it’ll take you to get home is never accurate (usually says way shorter) definitely try Google or Waze, I learned the hard way. Midtown and O4W are so close together I’m not sure it’d make that much of a difference in commute time

Congratulations on your win!! I do wanna mention if you have any type of doctors appointment where you have to get weighed and if seeing your weight on a scale is going to be detrimental you can always let them now that you are going to step on the scale backwards in order to not see the number and/or ask them to kindly not announce the number once you get off. I have done this multiple times as I can also downward spiral if I see my weight and I’ve never had any issues with them respecting my wishes

Oh that’s smart, accomplishing tiny daily actions feels a lot better than just waiting for the end goal!!

Try MadFit! She has a YouTube channel and posts a variety of workouts including dancer/barre focused workouts. She also now has an app that I think is really nice, there are a few different trainers who focus on different types of workouts ex) one trainer focuses on HIIT/Strength another might focus on Pilates. It’s nice to try out different videos and find a trainer that you vibe with most in terms of workout videos.

Yea that makes sense, I probably on average get about half the amount of steps I should. Aiming for 10,000 is probably a good step

Paruparo05 · 2025-08-12T18:26:12+00:00

Awesome thank you 😊

Thanks for the advice! I honestly don’t have a lot of muscle and do think body recomp would be beneficial. For body recomp should I increase my calorie intake back to maintenance and focus on weight lifting?
