All Mind

There is one thing I need to keep strong if I want to succeed in properly caring for my body and that is my MIND.

I mentally/emotionally crashed during week two & it negatively affected my ability to stay on track with my health and fitness goals.  Long story short: Although I've been searching for a job for months now and I've interviewed for a few positions, there was one position that I really wanted above all the others all along.  Last week I had my final round of interviews for the position and I mentally cracked under the stress. I BARELY slept two nights in a row and just completely lost my ability to focus & function properly.  Even people with great faith sometimes have moments of doubt.  Even people who have a great support system can crumble.  I got the job.  My dream that I worked & prayed for came true.  However, the process of interviewing, waiting to hear back, thinking through all the possibilities for too long just made me snap.  This isn't the end though - I'm not giving up on the meal plan.  I was down but now I've picked myself back up and I'm ready to move forward full force!  I am absolutely committed to giving my health and my body the care and attention they deserve to finish this meal plan with a bang!

My sweet love's diet has been on point and he made more progress in week two!  Here are his stats:


Ryan:
Day 1: Weight- 188.4 / Body Fat- 17.1
Day 7: Weight- 181.8 / Body Fat- 15.8
Day 14: Weight- 179.2 / Body Fat- 15.1

I am so impressed with how committed Ryan has been to the meal plan, as well as exercise, and how positive his attitude has been about the whole thing.  It's crazy to me how much his body has changed!  I'll put my arm around Ryan and his core just feels so solid and different from before.  He is definitely working hard and undergoing a major transformation.  It is most definitely worth the time & effort I put into the grocery shopping and meal prep to see him carry himself more confidently and to know that his health is improving.

I'll post some food pics & workouts soon but for now, I'm going to take good care of myself and Get To Bed!

  1. thanks for sharing this post. you are right - we not only have to stay physically healthy but also mentally healthy and sometimes, that's more difficult. Ryan is a great guy to support you through it all.
