πŸŒ… A Focused Start to the Day

The day started early β€” 6 a.m. sharp. I had my usual cup of coffee, laced with that quiet determination that comes from knowing I’m doing this for me. No hesitation. I went straight into my morning training β€” low-impact, focused, and exactly what my body needed today.

I then opened the Les Mills+ app. I did Les Mills Body Balance #85, a calm yet powerful session that worked exactly the muscles I needed to activate. It felt amazing to move again with intention β€” low-impact, focused, and part of my recovery.

🍳 Breakfast: Fuel & Flavor

After my session, I made a quick but delicious breakfast: scrambled eggs with pepperoni and another cup of strong coffee. It hit the spot β€” protein, fat, and joy in one plate. Simple, satisfying, and low carb.

πŸ— Lunch: Nourishment in Progress

Lunch was the chicken I shared in today’s YouTube Short. Tasty, easy to digest, and part of my plan to stay consistent β€” with food that supports healing and focus.

🍽️ Dinner: Comfort + Balance

Dinner wrapped up the day beautifully: homemade meatballs with green beans. A comforting plate that felt nourishing without weighing me down β€” the kind of meal that makes me feel cared for from the inside out.
