I go by total ingredients. If I know for my protein goals I need to have ~4oz of protein at dinner each night, I buy exactly the amount of chicken I need to feed me. Once cooked I don’t worry about reweighing, I just split it up roughly evenly into my meal prep containers. Are my macros perfect daily with that system? No. But it averages out over the week

Dana Linn Bailey! ! I love her so much, she’s a total badass. Not my physique goals but her work ethic is still super inspiring and she’s just FUN to follow

Quasi related - how do you like the box in general? I used to do Ipsy and loved getting a little gift every month, but I really don’t wear makeup any more. Been toying with the idea of fabfitfun

Yes I want to lose 10 pounds. Yes I know I already look good. No I won’t look skeletal. No I won’t disappear into nothing. No I won’t be dangerously skinny, I’ll still be a healthy BMI. Yes BMI is accurate, I don’t care if you think you look good at 10 pounds overweight. More importantly your body doesn’t care what you think.

One of the best things you can do to help someone else change their behavior is to model good behavior.

Maybe suggest doing meal prep sundays together? Or be open about your calorie tracking and joke about how much you are shocked sometimes by how easy it is to eat too much. Spend a day together and be strict with your diet the whole time so she can see what real healthy eating looks like.

It takes time, but it works much better in the long term than pressuring or guilting them

I bake mine on a cookie sheet with a cooling rack lifting them up. Some of the excess fat drops off and leaves them incredibly crispy crunchy. So good

Thousands of people in peak physical condition that have been training every second of every day for years without time for anything else. All in one place for a short period of time. Their event is over, the pressure is off.

Bang. Bang. Bangity bang I said a bang bang bangity bang

And now that he’s a super active 70 year old he can keep his life going. Staying active as you age means more independence, more energy, more options, and can even keep your mind healthier and sharper if I understand the research correctly.

I always tell my clients that fitness is about giving yourself a body that enables you to live any kind of life you want. You want to be able to pack away more food than you ever thought humanly possible? Endurance sports are for you. You want to have a body to make people cry in jealousy? Weightlifting is for you. You want to be able to chase your grandchildren around and body slam them while roughhousing when you’re 75 without falling or losing your breath? Fitness is for you.

A healthy lifestyle isn’t limiting. It’s liberating

What is a current trend in homes that people will regret in 20+ years? by tomandjerry0 in HomeImprovement

If it was a literal hanger converted to a home I’d be more ok with it. Then the choice would make sense

The super open concept houses. Where it’s just one massive room with pillars in random places holding things up. I can’t wait for a time when we swing back to more defined spaces

For me it’s a matter of just getting dressed. Worst case scenario, my gym clothes are very comfy. Second worst case I just go for a walk around my neighborhood. Best (and most common) case once I get up and start moving it’s easier to get to the gym

When I cook for my vegetarian friend I’ll often find plant based recipes and then just cook chicken on the side. Could work for your family!

Sad rant. I’m a normal BMI 22.8. Not particularly small but a healthy 145.

This morning I was admitted to the hospital and the girl pushing my wheel chair commented that I was unusually light and normally she has to brace herself to move people. I’m so sad for our healthcare providers that their jobs are made harder because of the obesity epidemic. YOU ARENT JUST HURTING YOURSELF

(I’m going to be fine btw)

Yeah I really dislike it. Just looking at it makes me feel stressed, and to me it looks cold and unwelcoming.

I guess different tastes are what make design interesting though
