Hey friends, I’ve been sitting on this post for a while because, honestly? It feels weird to talk about myself like this. But here goes…
In the last 6 months, I’ve lost 12 pounds. There, I said it! And you know what? This isn’t a story about some crazy diet or extreme workout plan. It’s about consistency, balance, and one really simple change that made a huge difference.
First, let me be real with you – this journey has been about finding what works for MY body. I’ve dialed in my macro split and aim to hit those targets 70-80% of the time (because perfection isn’t real life!). I get my training in 3 days a week, rain or shine, and I’m putting in serious miles preparing for the 2024 race season.
But here’s the game-changer I want to share with you – it’s about my morning coffee!
For the longest time, I trained on an empty stomach because, let’s be honest, who wants to wake up earlier to eat? Not this girl! But I knew I needed to fuel my workouts better. So instead of making a massive change, I supercharged something I was already doing – my pre-workout coffee!
Here’s my super simple recipe that’s changed everything:
- 1 scoop protein powder
- 2-3 tablespoons instant coffee
- My daily collagen supplement
- Ice Mix it up and boom – a 25g protein iced mocha that jumpstarts my day!
This one small change has snowballed into bigger wins:
- More energy during workouts
- Better breakfast choices (because I’m not starving!)
- Steadier energy throughout the morning
- Actually enjoying my pre-workout fuel instead of dreading it
- Setting a positive tone for my daily nutrition choices
The lesson here? Sometimes it’s not about massive overhauls – it’s about finding those small, sustainable changes that fit into your real life. For me, it was turning my morning coffee into a protein powerhouse.
Would love to hear – what small change has made a big difference in your journey?
