As a person who has struggled with their weight for a long time, I think I’ve finally changed my mindset/lifestyle and I’m so much more dialed in with my nutrition and overall fitness. Calories, Protein, healthy fats and healthy amount of carbs is so important! Hitting those macros every day has become an even bigger part of my daily routine. I weigh everything I eat, measure all of my portions and track everything through MyFitnessPal. Here’s a quick recipe for roasted veggies! It’s super easy to make, tastes really good and pairs so well with just about any protein! Roasted zucchini and eggplant with fresh herbs, salt, pepper, garlic, cayenne, a bit of onion powder and a touch of ginger powder. I drizzled a very little amount of olive oil and some balsamic vinegar on top. Put that in the oven on a cookie sheet at 350° for about 20mins

Workout: Leg Day I did a really good stretch before the workout and then I stretched before each set of the seated leg press (plates) - Seated leg press (platform moves): 3x20reps @110lbs - Leg extension: 3x15reps @170lbs - Seated leg curl: 3x15reps @170lbs - Seated leg press (plates): 3x15reps @12plates (6 plates on both sides) 1x10reps @14plates (7 plates on both sides)-PR For reference: - 12 plates (540 lbs) + machine (118 lbs) = 658 lbs - 14 plates (630 lbs) + machine (118 lbs) = 748 lbs - dumbbell squats: 3x15reps @40lbs - Calf extension: 3x15reps @170lbs

absolutely shocking, i can't believe it, it's a personal record for me.

I know what you’re thinking about the basil but let me tell you, it’s so good!! These muffins are about 70 calories each, low carb, low fat and I used stevia/splenda as the sweetener so no real sugar. Used plain Greek yogurt so there’s a bit of protein in there too! Healthy doesn’t need to taste bad, or boring; of course there’s some sacrifices but these are delicious and I can have one without worrying about blowing over my macros for the day!!

This was my first 5K since the Canada Army Run a couple months ago and we hit a PR!! I shaved off about 5mins but that’s still progress!! I feel amazing!!💪🔥
