Tip of the Day: Fall in love with the process. Healthy living is a marathon, not a sprint! Within this 8 week extravaganza program, we may feel like we are sprinting towards results, but what I hope to provide you are the tools you need to fall in love with the process to sustain this as a lifestyle. The results will simply follow. This is the mindset I want you to keep these next eight weeks. I don’t care if you believe this right now, but tell yourself you love eating healthy and working out regularly; do this at your highest of highs and your lowest of lows. Eventually, you will believe it and be able to sustain these results.

QUESTION OF THE DAY: What do you love most about this process?

    I know you sometimes like to do early morning workouts. So my question to you, is what is your typical preworkout meal on early mornings like that where you do not have much time between eating and working out? This is always my problem when I wake up early to workout! Is it best to do the workout on an empty stomach and then eat a typical breakfast after? What do you recommend?

      It all depends on what you can make work. I prefer to eat meal 1 first. If I do fasted, I typically only do it on cardio days and drink aminos during to keep my body in an anabolic/non-starved state. When I eat prior, I eat and take my preworkout with breakfast then hit the gym 20-30min later.
