Yesterday…

I got so frustrated.

I straight up DUMPED my lunch. my proportioned, healthy, prepped, intentional lunch.

I was defeated, my mind went straight to cool now i’m going to have to eat crappy today.

Walking around Kwik Trip I was irritated, kept telling myself that I messed the day up.

Finally, I was like no!

A, it’s all about 80/20 and today just happened to be slightly 20% of the not on point.

B, that mentality is something I was so used to and would cause me to completely give up

I got a chobani yogurt and a chicken sandwich!

Was it perfect? no.

Was it delicious? yes!

Was it better than what I would have done even 3 weeks ago? yes! so therefore I continued to move forward! 😃

... Read moreMaintaining a healthy eating habit is often a journey filled with ups and downs. One effective strategy embraced by nutritionists and weight loss experts is the 80/20 rule, which promotes aiming for a balanced diet where 80% of your food intake is nutritious and 20% allows flexibility for occasional indulgences. This approach helps prevent feelings of guilt or failure if a meal doesn't go as planned. In real-life situations, such as the experience shared about dumping a prepped lunch and feeling defeated, it’s important to remember that one less-than-perfect meal won’t derail overall progress. Instead, focusing on making better choices afterward, like picking up a Chobani yogurt and a chicken sandwich, demonstrates practical application of the 80/20 mindset and resilience. Chobani yogurt, recognized for its high protein and probiotic content, is an excellent option for a health-conscious snack or part of a meal. Combining it with a source of lean protein, such as a chicken sandwich, helps provide sustained energy and supports weight loss and muscle maintenance. Mental mindset also plays a crucial role. Moving away from an all-or-nothing mentality encourages positive vibes and helps avoid the cycle of giving up after setbacks. This mindset shift is essential for long-term weight loss journeys, where consistency matters more than perfection. Ultimately, recognizing that nobody’s perfect and embracing progress over perfection are key elements to sustainable lifestyle changes. Incorporate this balanced outlook to stay motivated and enjoy your efforts toward better health.

I got home from work yesterday absolutely ready to flop on the couch and rot. But I didn’t 🤣. Since school is almost over, I’ve had a little bit of extra time this week (since finals are next week and there’s less assignments due). I started dinner, made myself a snack, and packed up my text

Manifesting With the “Yesterday” Method✨
I’ve seen this floating around over the last month or so, and while it’s not being called what it is (scripting) I think it’s an amazing way to get you into the right headspace to receive! The idea is to write as if you received what you were trying to manifest- yesterday! Then expand upon that
