TIP OF THE DAY: Chest is a muscle group that a lot of ladies overlook & skip all together, mostly because achieving a good “feeling” or pump is more difficult with chest. Why? I’m a firm believer that the more developed the muscle, the easier it is to achieve this feeling/pump; so, hang in there & give your chest & all muscles time to continue to develop. Also, the key to getting the most out of your chest workout is to keep your tummy tight & contracted. When you do do, you can focus more on the the chest muscles moving the weight. Be sure to train that chest!

This workout comples the first 1/4 of this program. How are you feeling so far? Only 3 weeks left, so be sure to keep hitting the gym & keeping it clean in the kitchen!
One of my all time favorite things to do is to grocery shop on a weekend morning. My grocery cart this week contained: apples, pears, bananas, strawberries, celery, carrots, roasted red pepper hummus, eggs, plain, unsalted rice cakes, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, chicken breasts, fresh salmon, and gluten free, multigrain Puffin’s cereal, which will serve as my cheat meal this week! Remember, if you don’t buy it, you can’t eat it! Make it easier on yourself by stocking up on clean foods!

    hi! just read your macro plan and i am wondering if you count veggies as carbs? say you eat 30g of carbs, do you count veggies or do you only count things like sweet potato, ezekiel, etc? Thanks girl!

      Great question. I typically do not count veggies (primarily greens). If the veggies are starchy, like carrots, corn, celery, I start to just take note of them.

    Do you count calories or do you just count macros?

    Also, have you always been this tiny? I'm so jealous of your body type, girlie!

      If you count macros you can always just do the calculation to calories, so I technically only count macros, but could easily get cals if needed.

      I've always been "thin" but not always "fit." To be very honest, I don't know what it is like to deal with excess weight, but taking my frame from skinny to fit has been challenging, so I know what it is like to have to work to change your body composition! Anything is possible with hard work!
