What I went grocery shopping for to stay as close to my meal plan as possible while on a work trip!

I will amend that I said nothing in this video is ultra-processed and that isn't true, as the meat sticks, deli meat and protein bread are ultra-processed.

However, this still falls in the general philosophy I follow for my nutrition: 80-90% whole foods. I wouldn't normally eat this many convienence foods in my week, but you work with what you have access to. Life is about adapting ✨️💗

Stay tuned for the meals I put together! by @katralesbuilt

Labor day weekend doesn't mean laboring over the meal plan. Keeping it simple and as close to 100% whole foods as possible to ensure I'm maximizing fat loss before I take a trip next week for work.

Always prioritize your complete sources of protein, fast digesting carbs and veggies.

Eyes forward, ladies ✨️💗

WIEAD - Weekend Edition!

No, I don't always nail my macros, and that's okay. This is what an "unplanned" day can look like when you're tracking your macros. I treat it like a never ending puzzle, but sometimes it's ok if the pieces don't snap in perfectly.

I'm not (and you probably aren't too) a body builder in prep, so don't stress about overshooting your carbs or under eating protein for ONE DAY. Just stay consistent, ladies.

You don't have to justify your detours to anyone. Love you, girls ✨️💗

Is this 12 months of fat loss? Sure.

Is this really slow progress? Probably.

This is also 12 months of brain development, breaking cycles and building new soul pathways. I've had to crack open my noggin' and start rooting around in the dirt to get where I am today. And let's face it, that soul work isn't visible on a before-and-after photo.

It is visible, however, when I wake up with gratitude in my heart every morning. It's visible in how I move with intentionality. It's visible in that I don't seek validation and family bonds from a poisoned well. It's visible to my mind's eye, so quite frankly, I don't care how "long" this weightloss takes.

Because it's never been just about weightloss.

Ladies, please never compare the itinerary of your adventure to another. What you write in the margins is yours and yours alone, never to be displayed for critique. Never justify the detours to others.

Love you, girls ✨️ by @katralesbuilt

When did we get so comfortable as to provide pharmaceutical recommendations when talking to acquaintances?

The intensity at which you move towards your goals moves in stages and it isn't intense forever, I promise. Be kind to yourself. ✨️💗

Eating for proper fuel and weightloss isn't glamorous - in fact, it can be quite boring. I prep all of my meals a week at a time, so eating the same thing every single day has become a sacred ritual. The consistency has become what's exciting, not the food, not even the results.

Consistency will deliver a calmness to your mind that you didn't even realize was possible.

Surrender to the process and fall in love with the journey.

For all you who told me I "didn't look over 200 pounds" or "look that heavy" when I was at my heaviest, your dishonesty fueled the fire of my delusions.

I also forgive you, because the most dishonest of us all was the woman in my mirror. It has also become apparent to me that lying is rewarded if it means it protects the fragile veneer of our worldview.

I no longer wish to lie to myself. Seeking the comfort of protecting my ego has only brought agony - physically, mentally, spiritually. You can shirk off the rotted pieces of you holding you back, but you have to give up the weight.

Surrender to the ego death you've been running from and step in to your new life. Honesty will be back in fashion again some day; start the trend now.

WIEAD as a 29 y/o woman actively losing fat while fueling muscle growth.

First ever meal post! ✨️

I do work with a coach that tailors my macros and workouts according to my progress (this includes weight, tape measurements and progress photos). Because she doesn't employ a strict meal plan and instead macro targets, it allows me to get creative while prioritizing my plan.

I do aim to eat at least 80% whole/minimally processed foods every day. Junk food also doesn't typically serve me well with my progress, so I limit processed foods consumption. My "cheat meals" are centered around eating meals with my mother and mother-in-law on a weekly basis so I can enjoy time with family.

This day totaled up to: 176g P | 220 g C | 69g F | 2193 calories

I'll aim to share some of the recipes and breakdowns in future posts. 🌟
