Motivation Monday - Who Are You Influencing?
This weekend, Celesta was out of town, so I took my three daughters to watch my oldest swim at a meet in The Woodlands. We drove an hour, dropped off Kaeli, then I spent an hour with my two youngest for them to eat an early dinner. After they ate, we went to the natatorium to watch Kaeli swim, which took about another hour. When Kaeli was changed and dry, we went to a restaurant for her and me to eat dinner. Our dinner took another hour.

The Two Things Required to Get Toned & Build Muscle
Building muscle requires two key elements: resistance training and proper nutrition.
Resistance training, such as weightlifting, creates micro-tears in muscle fibers, and the body repairs and strengthens these fibers during rest, leading to muscle growth.
Adequate protein intake is crucial for this process, as proteins are the building blocks of muscles. So, hit the weights and fuel up with the right nutrients!

Does Stress Cause Weight Gain?
How Stress Impacts Our Weight
Stress can be a factor in weight gain. When you're stressed, your body releases hormones like cortisol, which can increase your appetite. Additionally, some people may cope with stress by turning to comfort foods that are often high in calories and sugar. Moreover, chronic stress can disrupt sleep patterns, and inadequate sleep has also been linked to weight gain.
