Nourish your mornings!

My breakfast drink... which I have about 30 min after waking up... alongside my breakfast meal. What's in it? ⁠

- 1L water⁠
- 1 scoop collagen peptides⁠
- 1 scoop essential amino acids⁠
- 1 scoop fiber⁠
- 1 scoop of greens⁠

Why do I drink this?⁠

- I like having a lot of water first thing in the morning because...hydration and all.⁠

- Having collagen may help with my autoimmune condition... which affects my skin and joints.⁠

- Adding EAAs helps make up for the fact that collagen is missing some key amino acids... therefore boosting my protein intake for the day.⁠

- Fiber because... poo :-)⁠

- Greens to boost my nutrient intake...and make me feel like I'm making healthy choices.⁠

- The whole concoction tastes surprisingly good and I thoroughly enjoy it.⁠

I typically drink this alongside my breakfast food, which is often....⁠

- chicken bacon, onions, asparagus sautéed in a pan⁠
- add egg whites and 1 whole egg to make omelet⁠
- top with hot sauce⁠
- 2 pieces sourdough with avocado and garlic salt⁠
- herbal tea⁠

Should you eat like this?⁠

I dunno.⁠

Just sharing what I do to try and support my nutrition needs while trying to achieve my health/fitness/performance goals.

Works for me and I like it.⁠

And that's my hope for each of you.⁠

That you'll find something that "works for you" on the most important things you need "working for you".

And that you like it.⁠

Also that, as your body - and life - changes, you can find the next thing that "works for you".

And that you like.

Repeat until the end.

Lockdown project 🛠⁣
There’s a lot going on in the world that is beyond our control. Although we can’t control every circumstance in our lives, we can decide how we react to any situation. ⁣
Essentially, we can play the victim🤕 or the hero 🦸🏽‍♀️🦸🏻‍♂️⁣
The victim sulks, complains about injustice, and points the finger in an attempt to deflect their pain.⁣
⁣
The hero takes it on the chin, plans their recourse, and gets back in the fight. ⁣
⁣
The difference between the two characters is not a superpower—it’s a decision. ⁣
⁣
I decided to make the most of the lockdowns I faced as a gym owner and personal trainer and built this space in my vision. Now instead of closing up shop, I’m exactly where I want to be. ⁣
⁣
I chose not to play the victim. I took my punch, determined my reaction, and got to work. ⁣
⁣
It’s great to be back to work again and seeing my clients embody the hero mentality each week. They’re taking action on the most important thing within their control—their health. ⁣
⁣
How can you be your own hero this week?

Starting your day with a win, whatever that means to you, will put you in a positive mindset for the day and encourage you to pursue more wins.⁣
⁣
No matter what happens the rest of the day, at least you started with positivity and accomplished something that will lead you in the direction you want to go. ⁣
