Life is stressful enough

Don’t waste the moments you get to recharge the battery

Give yourself permission to take some deep breaths, listen to the birds chirping, and be present for a fckin sec lol

Relaxing’s not relaxing if you’re not relaxing

You care because...↘️

The scale can be a great tool

Really, it can

It can help us assess directionality during a fat loss or muscle gain phase

We have decent proxies for rate of gain/loss that we can use to guide us

But again, it’s most useful in a directional sense

Not an absolute sense.

If you could snap your fingers and have your dream body but you weigh what you weigh today...

Of course you’d take it

You wouldn’t give two 💩 about the scale

(is one 💩 not enough?)

Once you catch yourself caring more about the number on the scale than how you’re feeling on the day to day

It might be time to take a break

Once I started caring more about my sleep scores from my Oura ring and feeling disconnected from how I actually felt...

It was time to take a break

Once I started caring more about my HR during cardio sessions and forgetting to check in with how workouts actually FELT...

It was time to take a break

Once I started only about the macros and completely ignoring how foods were making me feel...

It was time to take a break

Technology and data points can be helpful but the entire point of them is to help keep us moving in a direction

Not to establish arbitrary absolutes

If you’re losing connection with the stuff you ACTUALLY care about...

How you look and feel on the day to day...

Maybe it’s time to take a break or at the very least shift your focus.

Not only are you as a person more than a number on the scale

But your dream physique probably weighs more than you think.

Disclaimer: yes I know most poeple don’t train at all and those that do…most could benefit from training harder. Not every message is for every person lol

This message is for you if you finish your workouts and think “ahh I’m not that tired I could do more, should I add a set or another exercise”…you know who you are

I just got back from my run

It was 6x400m (1 lap around the track) with the target of ~90-95s per lap

I’m working on a goal of sub-6min mile

andddd I pushed really hard and I did them in an average of 87 seconds

F**k yeah. that’s good…right?

Meh.

Getting better isn’t about having amazing one-off sessions every once in a while

Where you absolutely obliterate yourself

It’s about…150+ pretty good workouts year on year on year

Yes it’s ok if some workouts are harder/better than others,

But stop trying to make every workout the hardest workout ever

Stop adding a bunch of extra sets because you don’t feel exhausted enough

Or sore enough

Stop training like there’s no tomorrow

Because progress is literally a string of “tomorrows” where you have to keep showing up and putting in the work

Oh you’re a little bloated with a couple farts after you eat a fiber-rich meal?

Deal with it

(yeah yeah yeah increase fiber gradually and make sure you drink enough water I know I know, chill)

Only about 5% of Americans eat the recommended amount of fiber.

The average American gets just 15-16g of fiber per day, roughly half of the recommended 25-38g.

Colon cancer is now the leading cause of cancer death in men under 50 and the second leading cause in women under 50.

Nearly 154,000 Americans are expected to be diagnosed with colorectal cancer this year, and about 53,000 will die from it.

Nearly 1 in 5 colorectal cancer cases now occur in adults under 55.

Eat your f*cking fiber

Comment “fiber” and I’ll send you a spreadsheet I made with the 45 highest fiber foods

Build your meals around 1-2 of these foods

Your colon thanks you for your service

This wasn’t meant as an in-depth discussion about metabolism.

Just a thought I’ve been having as I walk enough you’d think I’m exploring a European city or at Disney for the day

A message to my future self who tries to tell me I’m just as active as I was when my kids were little lol

Happy Friday

The best time to get back on track is always right now.

And I think that mindset shift matters infinitely more than trying to be perfect.

I’m gonna tell you something I’ve been embarrassed about for over twenty years:

I bite the fawkkkkkkk out of my nails.

Not just a little nibble here and there. I’m talking shred.

They hurt. They bleed.

I do it when I’m anxious, sad, angry, excited, working, driving…all the time since I can remember.

And maybe there are worse coping mechanisms out there, but it’s something I haven’t been able to “fix” for over 20 years.

Not for lack of trying either.

I probably try twice a year.

I start strong, then something stressful happens, I bite a little bit, feel guilty about it, say “f**k it,” and spiral right back to square one.

And maybe that sounds familiar to you with your diet.

What’s clicked for me this time is realizing that stopping NOW matters, even if I already messed up a little.

Over the last 9 days I’ve caught myself biting.

I haven’t been perfect.

But instead of guilt turning into a full spiral, I’ve been reminding myself:

“Whatever happened, it’s okay…the best time to stop is still right now.”

Maybe you overate yesterday.

Maybe I caught a hangnail and started chewing my thumb apart.

But both of us can stop here.

Both of us can make the next choice a good one.

We don’t need to be 100% perfect to make progress.

We just can’t slash the other 3 tires every time we get a flat

I don’t think I’ll never bite my nails again.

But I do think I’m getting better at not spiraling.

And that might just be enough. ❤️

You don’t need to (and often won’t anway) get all of your fiber at each meal from a single source but shooting for at least 8g per meal at least 3x per day is a good way to ensure you get to at least 25g for the day. Is more probably better? sure, but 25 is a really great way to get a lot of the health benefits especially if you got that 25g from a variety of whole minimally processed plant foods.

To make it easy, pick one of these at each meal!

Your welcome little gut bugs.

For the record while I do think that those with more calories to play with have an advantage in their ability to interact with normal portion sizes in our social world, I don’t think having more calories is ultimately going to decide how easy it is for you to lose weight. This stuff is multifactorial and just because you have more calories doesn’t mean it’s going to be easy for you to lose weight and vice versa. There is so much more to fat loss than this but I do think it’s worth mentioning!
