Summary

I have been counting my macros for almost a decade. And since I've stopped doing competitions and found a new normal with my body, my body size and shape haven't fluctuated all that much. But here's the thing: I have made nourishing my body a lifestyle and because of that my weight is not continuously going up and down. I don't have to "get back on track" the same way I know other woman need to. But, the difference is that many women are dieting and not making nourishment a lifestyle.
 
So many women ask me how I have the willpower to stay on track all the time. But here's the thing: I don't need willpower. Seriously, I don't need one ounce of willpower and in this episode I'm going to explain what I do to essentially "stay on track" without needing willpower through making nourishing your body a lifestyle.
 
What I discuss:
  1. I know what my body needs.
  2. There is no scarcity in my "diet"
  3. I "budget" my food.
  4. I know when to chose memories over macros and vice versa to keep my life balanced.
  5. I pay attention to how food makes me feel.
  6. I prioritize cooking delicious meals. 
  7. I honor my body with movement daily
  8. I focus on consistency over perfection.

Now this is something that I get asked on a daily basis because oftentimes, especially in the

0:39.5

summertime with our schedules being crazy, vacationing, kids are home from school, you're doing all the things

0:45.4

you're normally not doing throughout the rest of the year. It's like people are constantly trying to get back on track.

0:51.6

And even though I've been counting macros for almost a decade, I have since stopped doing

the competitions. Like I previously competed in bikini competitions. I ended up winning my pro card and

the day that I won my pro card I stepped off stage and I told

myself I'm never going to be doing that again and so since that decision of July of 2014 I have really kind of found a new normal with my body, my body size and shape

1:49.5

struggling with that as well.

willpower because a lot of women ask me like how do you have the willpower to stay on track all
