I honestly lost track of what day this is, because life got crazy. The kids were sick, schools shut down for snow, and I took a short break from filming. Real talk: a lot of my plan fell apart for a minute. This is the get-back-on-track episode.
The scale went up a bit since my last weigh-in with you around day seven or eight. The good news is my muscle mass went up a little. I'm not thrilled about just maintaining, but that's the process.
I got a late start, nearly 10 a.m. before I headed to the gym, but it was strength rotation day three. To save time and energy, I trimmed my routine and dropped an extra tricep exercise since I already do tricep supersets every session. I'm committed to two to three days of weight training a week plus 10,000 steps a day.
I decided to do a 36-hour fast, starting after dinner the night before, so it ends at 8 a.m. the next morning. Fasting is part of my personal routine, and it isn't for everyone.
This is the biggest lesson of the episode. Whatever happens, don't stop. Life will knock your plan over. Pick it back up, go back through your checklist and keep it moving.
I've been fighting fatigue constantly, and my energy goes up and down depending on where I am in my cycle. So I'm adding B12 to my routine and talking about my experience with the shots, plus a nod to my Zepbound journey, which has its own video. I'll do a separate deep dive on supplements. Injections and supplements are something to talk through with your doctor first.
In the afternoon I finally tackled my toddler's room, put up a new wall decal and got everything back in order. Doesn't it feel like you can finally exhale when your baby's room is clean? The dollhouse is another story.
My sleep score was 91, even though I felt tired. I'm on cycle day four. I hopped on the treadmill in the evening and hit my 10,000-step goal, even on a day when the other goals didn't all land. My fast ends at 8 a.m. on day 29, and I'll share my updated meal plan next. This is my personal experience, not medical advice. Glow hard. GRIT harder.
