Gooooooood morning out there!! I kind of slept like crap last night so I’m slowly but surely getting my sh*t together this morning as I sip my nespresso. I’m definitely going to need the extra caffeine this week since I’m gearing up to head out on a vacation soon! Which means this week is all about getting my work done ahead of time so I can enjoy a week off!
I hope you had an awesome 4th of July weekend. I know that holiday weekends can sometimes get the best of us and leave us feeling a little off by Monday. Hopefully it didn’t throw you off too much, but if it did, here are a few ways to get back on track today –
- Drink a CRAP TON of water. It’s time to flush out the system.
- Plan out your meals for the week. With a healthy game plan, you’re more likely to stick to healthy meals throughout the week.
- Write your workouts into your schedule. When they are in your schedule, you are more likely to actually make them a priority.
- Get up to walk around while you’re at work. I think an Apple watch or Fitbit is so helpful with this because it reminds you throughout the day. Just move, as much as possible.
- Compliment yourself. Look in the mirror and literally give yourself 2-3 compliments. A weekend of too much fun can easily get you down on yourself. Don’t let it. Staying positive will actually help you stay on track throughout the week.
It’s as simple as that! Holiday weekends were made for your enjoyment. And for many people out there, including me, enjoyment has a lot to do with food and drink. Don’t get down on yourself because you enjoyed your time with family and friends. Just simply take a couple steps to getting back to baseline and move on with your week!

What I Ate in a Day:
Once I woke up, I started my day off how I always do – with coffee at 6am. I made a hot cup of nespresso with a tablespoon or so of heavy cream, some liquid stevia and a heaping tablespoon of collagen.
Before I worked out in the morning, I ate 1/2 a Perfect Foods peanut butter bar.
After my workout, I made a quick breakfast of arugula, roasted tomatoes, garlic dip, and some smoked salmon.
Around 10am, I made a cold brew coffee with heavy cream and stevia.
For lunch, I had leftovers from the night before – steak, roasted broccoli, air fryer cauliflower and tzaziki.
In the afternoon, I had a few handfuls of plantain chips with garlic dip.
For dinner, I made a quick curry with white rice, ground beef, Yai’s Thai curry sauce, peppers, onions, and cilantro.

Why don’t you eat your recipes??? They are AMAZING!!! I love and make them all the time. I look forward to your cooking videos so I’ve been super disappointed to not see them anymore 🙁 I wonder if you feel that your recipes are too caloric and therefore avoid them-I hope not because we trust you. I rely on SO many of your recipes and trust that they are healthy and won’t make me fat lol-can you explain?
i do eat my recipes!! you’re just not seeing me eating them in the one post i share for what i ate in a day.
