Not Every Meal Out Has To Be A Celebration

My posts aren’t for everybody. Not everyone SHOULD be tracking macros.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But what more people SHOULD be doing is giving a damn about their health.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Mental, physical…it’s all intertwined & the MAJORITY of it has to do with our nutrition.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍎I don’t “eat 100% clean”; and macros helped me develop a better relationship with food bc I understand that for the same macros I could have a bagel OR potatoes.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🙋🏼‍♀️It let me be met where I was AT & slowly taught me how to swap things out and gain a better understanding for the absolute importance of fiber, protein, healthy fats and healthy carbs.

A few years ago I did NOT like avocado/veggies/etc. Whenever I bought a meal plan w/that shit, I failed bc I wasn’t “there” yet.
(Also, burn all meal plans 🔥)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But as my own health, macro and fit journey has evolved over many years, so have my goals.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍩I’ve done more “IIFYM” trying to fit lots of ridiculous things in,
🍔To the more 80/20 rule which was where I found the best balance for years,
🍳And now *trying* transitioning into more 90/10 for pure health reasons.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
**I say trying bc it’s going to always be a challenge. I will fail, & that’s ok. I won’t stop trying though.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1️⃣First I wanted to be skinny,
2️⃣then I wanted to be “toned”/ “fit”/ “strong”
▶️& lately I’ve been working on just fucking healthy, ya dig?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
No one is perfect, our goals are always changing and “healthy” means something different to EVERYONE. I’m already pretty “healthy” with consistent activity & lots of nutrients but there’s lots of room for improvement 🙌🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🧬But if I can try and change my genetic history that is relatively “unhealthy”, then I owe it to myself to continue trying year after year after year.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💰Bc, truthfully, yes I want to be fit aesthetically & internally at 29
but I damn sure want to be fit, healthy and independent as much as possible when I’m 80 🤪

If you’re not there yet, don’t worry!! It takes TIME & actively trying new things to find YOUR damn balance ✨
