Watching my husband work tirelessly to build my dream has been the greatest reminder of what true support looks like.

In just three days more concrete was poured, the drywall was finished, drywall taping and mudding began, and the exterior metal started going up.

I am so incredibly thankful for his hard work and the love behind everything he has put into this building.

And if you watch the videos….listen to him sing Christian music. He IS the real deal.

Not many 19 year olds can say they own an LLC… but Dakota now can.

While going to college, he’s built his own business, D-Licious Nutrition LLC, where he makes macro balanced protein balls designed to fuel athletes and anyone looking for a nutritious, high protein snack.

Watching him take his CEO biz idea last year and turn it into a legitimate business at his age has been pretty amazing.

Proud of his work ethic and determination.

That’s my boy!

How often should a woman weigh herself??

A little reminder for women who track their weight… your body is not a math equation…..it’s a hormonal cycle.

Throughout the month, a woman’s weight can naturally fluctuate several pounds depending on where she is in her cycle. Water retention, hormonal shifts, inflammation, digestion, and even sleep can all influence the number on the scale.

Because of this, there are two healthy ways to approach weighing yourself:

😁Weigh daily and accept that normal fluctuations will happen. Look at the overall trend, not the day to day number.

😁Weigh once a month on the same day of your cycle (Day 5 is often best), when hormones and water retention are typically more stable.

If you are post menopausal, you can also benefit from either weighing daily or weekly (this Is what I choose to do) and watching the overall trend, or choosing the same day each month for consistency.

If you weigh on random days throughout the month, you may think you’re gaining fat when in reality your body is simply doing exactly what a healthy female body does.

I love my Hume scale as it gives me a lot of data in addition to weight, body fat % and lean muscle mass in each extremity and trunk. And even gives you your metabolic age based on your data.

What scale do you have and how often do you weigh?

Ladies over 40… this is your reminder:

Stop trying to “tone”, but rather start trying to build muscle.

Here’s the truth most people won’t tell you:

Toning isn’t a separate thing.
“Toned” muscles are simply muscles that have been built and are visible because body fat is lower.

That’s it.

After 40, we naturally lose muscle every year (a process called sarcopenia).

Less muscle means:
😕Slower metabolism
😕Easier fat gain
😕Weaker bones
😕Higher injury risk
😕More blood sugar instability

Building muscle means:
💪🏻Boosts metabolism
💪🏻Protects bone density
💪🏻 Improves insulin sensitivity
💪🏻Supports hormone health
💪🏻Helps you look tight, strong, and confident

And no….lifting weights will NOT make you bulky.

👉Women simply do not produce enough testosterone to “accidentally” build huge muscles. Significant muscle size requires very high training volume, very high calories, and often enhanced hormones. (The illegal stuff)👈

It doesn’t happen by mistake.

What does happen by mistake?

Becoming weaker each year because we were afraid to lift heavy.

Strong is not bulky.
Strong is protective.
Strong is youthful.
Strong is powerful.

Build the muscle no matter your age. Your future self will thank you.
