GLP-1 medications are neither a miracle nor a cheat code. They're a tool that does one thing extremely well.

They turn down appetite. Hunger quiets, fullness shows up sooner, and the constant background pull toward food fades. For a lot of people, that's the first time in years a calorie deficit has felt possible.

Here's what they don't do. They don't choose protein for you, they don't lift weights for you, and they don't build the habits that hold your result when the dose changes or stops. Appetite suppression actually raises the stakes on those things, because eating less makes it easier to lose muscle if protein and training aren't in place.

If you're on one or considering one, the medication creates a quiet window. What you build inside that window decides what you keep.

If you want the details, DM me 'GLP1' and I'll send them over. The free community is always open too, full of people navigating exactly this without judgment. Link in my bio.

Most diets don't fail because you lack discipline. They fail because they were never built to survive a real week.

The usual playbook is to cut as hard as possible on day one. Fewer calories, fewer foods, more willpower. It holds for a week or two, then a late meeting, a birthday, or a bad night of sleep shows up, and the plan has no room for any of it.

That isn't a character flaw. A large deficit raises hunger, drains energy, and makes cravings louder. The harder the restriction, the harder it is to repeat tomorrow. Adherence quietly slips, and the scale follows.

The fix isn't more intensity. It's a plan you can actually repeat. A smaller deficit you can hold for months will beat an aggressive one you quit in weeks. Enough protein, foods you enjoy, and structure that bends instead of breaking.

If you want help building that kind of plan, the free community is the best place to start. The meal plans live inside, and the link is in my bio.

95 years is a long time to leave your mark on the world, and my grandma absolutely did that. She was a character in every sense of the word. She had the mouth of a sailor, didn’t take s**t from anyone, and always had a story to tell. She loved her crime shows, her romance novels, and you could almost always find her curled up with a book in her hands.

Every time we visited her in Ohio, Lisa would make raisin pie. I didn’t even know raisin pie was a thing before her, but my grandma loved it, so it became our tradition.

When I came out as trans to my grandma nearly a decade and a half ago, she told me she understood because she had seen a Lifetime movie about it. Now, call me a pessimist if you want, but to this day I’m still not entirely sure what movie she watched. 😆 But what mattered was that she didn’t question me for a second. She just accepted me, and I’ll always be grateful for that.

Saying goodbye is never easy, no matter how long someone lives, but she was ready. I’m grateful for the years, the memories, the stories, and the laughs. Rest easy, Grandma. ❤️

A few years ago, I had an abdominoplasty after years of losing weight, gaining it back, and repeating that cycle more times than I’d like to admit. I had loose skin and ultimately decided to have surgery because I wanted to feel more confident in my body. Simple as that.

As many of you know, I’ve had multiple surgeries over the years. Some were medically necessary and others were purely cosmetic. Honestly, I’m pro choice in every sense of the phrase when it comes to your own body and your own life. If someone wants weight loss surgery, go for it. If someone wants to use a GLP-1, awesome. If someone wants to hire a coach, track macros, go to therapy, lift weights, or take a completely different path toward feeling better physically and mentally, I support that too.

Years ago, I used to be one of those people who said things like “that’s the easy way out” or reduced everything to “just eat less and move more.” The truth is, weight loss and body image are so much more complicated than most people realize. Hormones matter. Mental health matters. Stress matters. Psychology matters. Shame and self worth matter. It’s never as simple as people want to make it sound.

A few years later, I’m still very happy with my decision. The scars have faded quite a bit, but they’re still there, and honestly, I’ve learned to appreciate them. They tell the story of where I’ve been, what I survived, and the work I’ve done physically and mentally to become who I am today.

If you’ve been considering doing something for yourself but you’re hesitant because of what other people might think, remember that those people are not living your life. They are not carrying your struggles, your insecurities, your pain, or your goals. At the end of the day, you deserve to feel comfortable and confident in your own body, whatever path gets you there.

Well, the good vibes worked. 😎

I officially landed the role I interviewed for this week within the Tony Robbins ecosystem. It’s a part-time coaching position and I’m genuinely excited because it gives me the opportunity to expand beyond fitness coaching into more business, strategy, implementation, and accountability-focused coaching as well.

I’ll admit, this one feels especially good because I really pushed myself outside my comfort zone for it. They interviewed over 20 applicants, selected only 3 people, and I was offered the position on the spot during my final interview. That was a really validating moment for me.

Nothing changes with my fitness coaching clients or my own businesses. Those are still a huge priority for me. This just feels like a really exciting opportunity to grow in a new direction while continuing to build everything else I’ve been working on behind the scenes.

Thanks for all the encouragement and good vibes this week. I genuinely appreciated it. ❤️

This is what maintenance looks like.

Six months. Multiple leg vein procedures. Two surgeries. And my weight has stayed right where it needs to be.

I used to think I always needed to be chasing something. Cut fat, build muscle, push harder. If I wasn’t actively in a phase with a goal, I felt like I was wasting time. It took me a while to understand that maintenance isn’t standing still. It’s holding the ground you already fought for while life does its thing.

If you’re dealing with stress, recovery, injury, major life changes, or you’re just mentally burnt out from tracking everything, maintenance is not a detour. It’s part of the process. Your body needs time at a stable baseline to recover, regulate, and set itself up for whatever comes next. The people who skip this step and keep pushing are the ones who end up burning out or losing progress they already made.

You don’t always have to be in a deficit or a surplus to be moving toward your goals. Sometimes the smartest thing you can do is hold steady, take care of yourself, and come back to the next phase when you’re actually ready for it.

What is YOUR current phase or focus? I am shifting into a recomp.

Two weeks post-op. Still got my four little baby abs.

I put this surgery off longer than I should have, waiting for the “right time” when taking a couple weeks off from the gym wouldn’t feel like a setback. That time doesn’t exist. Eventually I just booked it.

Here’s what I want y’all to hear, especially if you’re ever in a recovery window for any reason. I didn’t run a calorie deficit while I was healing. I never recommend that to my clients either. When your body is rebuilding tissue, it needs more resources, not fewer. Protein to repair. Calories to fuel the process. Sleep to let it integrate.

Two weeks of rest doesn’t undo years of consistency. Perfectionism, on the other hand, will take you out faster than any surgery.

Fuel yourself through the healing.

Back here for the gourmet VA hospital food. Third surgery within 1.5 years but knocking them out before we exit the country. Nothing serious so don’t worry, just something I’ve put off.

I used to feel like I would lose all my progress with some post-op downtime, but that’s just not the case. Recovery is not the time to restrict food or worry about missing workouts. Follow your surgeon’s orders, heal, and get right back to it when you’re able to ease back in.

There’s no race to the finish line. And truth be told, there IS NO FINISH LINE. There’s only living your life and making mostly good decisions day after day. ❤️
