Reshape with Ape

Interesting story--sugar alcohols. Have you seen them? Wondered about them? I'm two days away from weighing in, and I'm behaving. I'm coping. Poor Juls. LOL. My gum has it in there.... so, is it necessary for me to cut it out? I did for the next two days. Replaced with herbal tea for a minute. Just a minute.

I remembered Paul Salter writing about these a while ago and decided to share his expertise: https://paulsaltercoaching.com/sugar-alcohols-the-short-and-sweet-and-how-they-impact-your-diet/

I think Paul Salter Coaching is amazing, and as always appreciate Renaissance Periodization for teaching me and helping me grow! Their templates take all the questions out! Highly recommend.

Sometimes sharing a story, although so vulnerable, can assist someone else in their journey. Through vulnerability we grow. Through vulnerability, we begin to thrive in our own journey. Each journey is individual, but many of us struggle similarly. Body dismorphia becomes more and more common with our society, starting even younger today! My own niece who is 6 years old brought up nutrition labels and carbs that she learned from a girl at school! 😤

Boundaries are SO important in this life. And saying “no” is totally ok!! Practice it. Try it. Your brain and body will thank you! Thanks Dave for this great post!

You Can't Do Everything You may have noticed I had to take a couple weeks off from sending emails. The week before last I went back to Minneapolis to help out with a slight remodel of my gym. I knew I was going to be helping out all weekend, but I didn’t know I’d be working on it from 6amContinue Reading...

Sometimes fear can bring us to places where we are vulnerable and open. Every single one of those places can allow growth internally and externally. Healthy fear is a-ok, but living by fear isn’t ok...in my book! I stepped outside my box and while looking for snakes and being cautious, I ROARED 🐯 so loud inside I became proud of ME!

“If you make every day as good as it can be, it’s like living 1000 years!” -Some dude on a trail in Joshua Tree National Park saying this to his lady who wasn’t very happy

I immediately gave him credit verbally and then pulled out my phone so i wouldn’t forget it. Typically, when i write something down or record it somehow it allows my brain to keep it locked down. And this little gem 💎 is locked down! How true?! 💜💜💜 As good as it CAN be...

Couple of thoughts this am—I heard a radio show talking about everyone overspending this time of year. Going into debt for gifts doesn’t seem appealing to me by any means. Something that i have realized over the years is that i prefer to gift friendship and love than a material item, especially one not necessarily needed... I prefer to share a smile, than something tangible that may not be valued as much. Or, something forgotten. So, while you’re considering your budget... think of the love you can share as a gift! Annabella loved this idea last night when i explained it to her.

Secondly, I’m enjoying the off season time and love especially considering the traveling that i have done since the summer. My bodyweight is up about 10 pounds since my meet which if I allow my brain to influence me—sucks sometimes! But, when i reflect on my strength and heart: it’s way better! The scale isn’t always our friend. Use it as a measure of goals but do not allow it to define you. Make choices to allow yourself to thrive and love more!!

I’m getting ready to go visit my home away from home gym Wellfit Private Fitness in San Antonio and I’m grateful for the love there!!!! 💜
