WEEK 5: DAY 5 · FRIDAY
REGULAR MACRO DAY + REST/ACTIVE RECOVERY
How is everyone feeling? I hope all of you are doing okay and staying well!
Remember - today is a low macro OR a regular macro day. If you are choosing to do a low macro day, you can find those goals in your macro goals and you will eat up to the grams it gives you. Eating just like a regular macro day, just less. Do not stress - you have got this!
WEEKLY WINS
In the FASTer Way lifestyle, we ring in Fridays by celebrating our wins! So tell me - what is your greatest non-scale victory this week?
Are your clothes fitting better? Have your sugar cravings subsided? Were you able to perform a new move in your workout? I want to hear from each of you!!
It’s so important to take note of the little victories along the way - just remember, we are building a lifestyle that I hope goes so far beyond these 6 weeks for so many of you (keep scrolling to hear whats's coming at the end of this 6 weeks!!)
REST/ACTIVE RECOVERY DAY:
Along with that, please enjoy a rest day or active recovery day. The FASTer Way workouts are challenging and effective, and rest is key to seeing results.
LOOKING AT YOUR WEEKENDS:
For me - weekends can be hard!! We have weddings, parties, birthday parties, date nights, etc. I know many of my clients are in the exact same boat.
Here's what I want you to do - think about where you want to be. What is your end goal? How do you want to feel Monday morning?
Enjoy a few treats (or drinks!) within your macros - but try to be as mindful as possible!! This is one question I always ask my clients if they feel "stalled" in their progress- "what do your weekends look like?!"
TIPS FOR EATING OUT AT RESTAURANTS
Because we are more likely to eat out at restaurants on the weekends, I wanted to take a moment to discuss this topic. If you work outside of the home, your daily lunches also may come from a restaurant. It's important for you to remember that we aren't tracking for perfection. Do the best you can!
Look at the menu ahead of time. Choose a meal and pre-track it before you go. Doing so will give you a better chance of sticking to your plan.
Once you have your meal tracked in your app, work the rest of the day around it. This will ensure that you don't exceed every macro.
If you are not sure what is being served/ what you will eat - save your macros! I like to save about 75g carbs, 35g protein and 25g fat leftover at the end of my day.
Try eating a lean source of protein before going. Protein satiates us by making us feel more full. If you can't eat protein before going, make sure to choose protein at dinner. Try eating it first to see if it fills you up. Fill in the rest of your plate with healthy vegetables and/or fruit.

Try to choose low carb, low calorie drinks such as white wine spritzers, skinny margaritas, or vodka with seltzer and lime only.

Today we are going to talk about next steps in your health and wellness journey - our VIP Membership and Community! If you think you’ve learned a lot in this six week experience, you haven't seen anything yet. Our VIP program and community is absolutely incredible. It's where all of the magic happens! Even I pay for VIP every single month because it's that valuable. I will tell you like I tell all of my clients - if you are going to spend money anywhere, spend it on your health! Your health is the only worldly thing keeping you on earth.
I want to see you continue to become healthier, lose fat, gain energy and live your best life! I know that you are going to thrive in our VIP community and I want to make your transition into VIP as smooth as possible. I am here to support you, cheer you on and guide you every step of the way. The best thing is that while there is so much more that VIP offers, I still get to be your coach. More to come on that next week. I am so proud of the progress you’ve already made and can’t wait to continue on this journey with you!
