This morning, I donated five pair of size 34 waist khakis.

They have been loose fitting for months now, but I had been holding onto them “just in case”.

I decided there will be no “just in case”.

• There will be no more excuses in my life
• No more settling for “good enough”
• No more “I used to be able to”

I got out and got my run in. It’s 14 degrees. Good. Bring it on. I can take it.

• Hit the gym 5 days this week
• Cardio all 7 (17 miles)

Can’t wait to crush it again next week.

Down 20lbs since September 27th woo!

I'm struggling hard with getting enough protein which is absolutely essential when you are on a glp-1 medication (for T2D and not just for weight loss for the judgy ones). I drink either Premier Protein or Core shakes but I am looking for something other than granola or yogurt to actually eat. Any suggestions?

If you have a Costco nearby, they sell a 10 pack of Fresh Additions grilled chicken bites that have 22g of protein per serving. They’re really handy if you’re on the go too.

I eat 3-4 eggs almost every day. Beans are rich in protein, there's also cottage cheese.

Tuna and salmon for me....really most seafood.

That and I love peanut butter + banana for breakfast or AM snack.
Thanks!

I have a pretty good stash of tuna packets that I need to put on my counter to remind me. PB and banana are so good. I'm definitely going to get a few banana's this weekend.

I've got these Kodiak oatmeal chocolate chip protein ball mix that requires pb so I need to make those. They say you can use any nut butter in them so maybe I'll try some chocolate almond butter to make a batch more desert like.
