Um, I always suffered with the scale Um food issues, you know typical Female stuff, you know, I'd run around my backyard trying to burn 300 calories in a workout because I thought You know, that was what I needed to do About a year ago. I found you guys which totally opened my eyes Which thank you. Um, I just listened to I binged every episode I started researching doing a ton of work on myself and You guys really just taught me how food is great for your body how to fuel my body how to use the scale So right now I am in an awesome place. You guys helped me get there So I'm a 45 year old blessed stay at home mom And I am just really happy where I'm at. I love my fitness routine I just started am a ball anabolic advanced at home Virgin which thank you for making those programs available at home Um, I walk my dog three to four miles a day I do yoga a couple times here and there I make sure that I do 20 minutes of mobility and stretching a day. I take my recovery really seriously I track my sleep. Um, I'm just really I'm comfortable where I'm at my maintenance calories is 2,600 calories. I'm five eight 139 pounds 23 body fat Um, and I just want to know like is it okay to stay here? Or do I have to go? All of us over here are like shaking our head is like, where's the question? Where's the you're in a beautiful place right now? Okay, so and here's here's the beauty of where you're at Forget the fact that you're obviously lean. You're fit. You look amazing. You're you're consistent. You feel good Forget that for a second. Do you enjoy your workouts? I love them. I'm loving an about so It took me a hot minute to get to switch over to to your um programs I was following a youtube trainer. Don't give me shit, please. Um, but I so i'm doing anabolic now I love it and for for a mom those three minute rest periods are phenomenal. Do you know what I can get done in those three minute rest periods? They're awesome. Yeah, so um, I'm feeling strong. I'm feeling great I just didn't know do I ever do I have to go into a cut in a book sometimes to Stimulate my metabolism like I know how to do it. You guys have taught me like if I know if I went down to 20% body fat I'd see those See the abs that everybody wants. You are I did no six pack. Um, I've done two cycles of that I've seen strength in my core. I mean I my husband finds me sexy as hell probably more now than when I was 120 pounds I'm 139 pounds right now. That's the true measure right there. Yeah, you're you're you know, jennifer Okay, this is such a This is such a good place to be because well, I'll I'll give you a quote that I say all the time The man who loves walking is going to walk much further than the man who is only walking to a destination So in other words, I've never heard you say you're in joe. I've said that before He's really fucking say it all the time. I don't even talk about it full of shit. I've never said that before Doug knows He knows he'll shake his head I say it all the time Hey, listen, go ahead finish it. It was beautiful. It was beautiful. Here's the deal This this is this is how you know, you're gonna be consistent forever You enjoy what you're doing now as far as the bulk and the cut is concerned Don't worry about that. It'll have at some point you're gonna be like, hey I want to get a little stronger have a vegas trip come up. Hey, I feel like I want more stamina Hey, I feel like I want more strength in the squad or maybe I want more mobility And then you just follow that follow that feeling but you don't have to Have a goal This is one of the problems with having a goal There's there's there's positives and negatives to it But one of the negatives is people get so focused on the goal that when they finally get to the goal They're like now what what do I do now? Where do I go from here? So you're in this excellent amazing place Just enjoy what you're doing. This is like the this is where we try to get people to to get to So you're doing great. Yeah, the only thing that I would ever probably change up with you is uh Is the programming every once in a while. So and it acts how we wrote them We wrote them with that intention follow anabolic for three months After you do that move into performance or strong or aesthetic or one of the other ones and You know, so you're learning new movements and exercises. You're hitting different planes So you're getting stronger with all those things and and you're constantly kind of changing it up So the body's not adapted it doesn't get so used to anabolic that you start to see diminishing returns But other than that where you're I mean 2600 calories is a great place to be for your size. That is uh a good metabolism So there's not a and you're you're incorporating yoga. You're walking you're getting stronger You like the way you enjoy it. You're enjoying the process It's it literally is such a perfect place to be and I'm with sal Something will naturally happen over the course of you know, the year where you know, maybe you got something coming up Where like I said vegas, maybe it's not vegas Maybe it's just something you're gonna do and you want to be leaner So you run into a calorie deficit for a little while or maybe it's winter time and where you're enjoying some of the Thanksgiving foods and some of that so you naturally kind of go on a bulk a little bit But you're in a very beautiful place. I think we we are striving to get most our clients too Yeah, just just literally just keep enjoying what you're doing. This is perfect. Just embracing. Thank you. Yeah, we have anabolic performance aesthetic Here we have all of that stuff. Um, I'm in your private forum. We have the nose BS six packs So I have all those things that I can interchange throughout the year That's perfect. We'll just give you a virtual high five then. Yeah, yeah, jeff. You're doing great This kind of question really makes me happy. So I'm happy you're Oh, thank you And if I could just say one more thing to all of you guys and if I get emotional, I'm sorry But I just wanted to articulate to you guys um Something that I hope you guys realize When I had my daughter, I was terrified. I was going to pass down my body image issues My issues with food Even though I consciously tried not to do this, it was inevitable just at the place I was at As all of you have helped me change my mindset all of you helped me get to a damn good place and that fear is now gone My daughter brings some home papers from home paper from school and she writes about herself And I see her right. I am strong. I am kind my heart burst with happiness Nowhere is there the word skinny thin none of that. She makes me cards and says I want to be strong like my mama So from a person who values being a mother over anything else in this world I thank you from the bottom of my heart Yeah, god, god bless.

I know I had to like look away because if I was listening and focused on what we're gonna make contact with you guys I'm gonna cry You know, what a what a great place to be, you know, it takes a long time sometimes for people to get this place But where they enjoy the process and they're like, you know, I don't need to have a specific goal I just love doing this and I feel good and yeah, and then the question arises Should I go back to what I was doing before which is kind of what she was asking, right? Is it okay to stay here? No, it's more than okay This is the best place to be and boy what she said at the end man Yeah, I mean, we hope for this for most people to get to this point. It's it's I mean, that's what we do We we try and get our clients to to get to this place where you can navigate and you know what to do And and apply things and you enjoy the process enjoying the process is everything and the truth is it's It's not easy. It's there's a lot of work and a lot of the work is internal. It's not just x's and no's It's just not these are my macros. This is the best program follow it There's normally a lot of internal work that needs to be done and obviously she's done that journey and You know, it's so cool to to see when someone's put the work in to see it pay off like this And she isn't an amazing place.
