Last week I had dinner with a friend of mine and she brought up something that spoke to me. She said "I have not been engaging on social media for the past month because I am seeing too much stuff that is making me feel bad about my body." Too many people posting about "Summer Bodies" and all kinds of things around shrinking my size. This is not the first time I have spoken to a friend who has felt this way. My gut response was, "Then why are you still following them?" I am a firm believer that what you feed yourself effects your state of wellbeing and that comes from all aspects of your life. What you eat, what you watch on tv, what you read, who you follow on social media. All of this plays a roll in your overall well being. If you are following someone who makes you feel bad about yourself in any way stop. Click unfollow and keep it moving. Make space for the positive vibes and the people that can help to bring joy, self love and light to your world. I am curious, do you follow people on social who make you feel bad about yourself? If so why? When was the last time you did a social media cleanse? What prompted you to do it? How did it make you feel? Please share your thoughts with me on this...xx M

Hi- I’m struggling with menopause early at age 46 and have been in full blown menopause fir a few years now. I’m currently on hormone replacement cream to supplement my hormones, but I’m struggling with weight lose and the large tire that has happened around my upper waist. Has anyone had any luck with anything(exercise, nutrition, or other ideas) that has helped someone lose weight while going through menopause?

I want to share a couple recipes that are high protein as ways you can enjoy or share with your clients to enjoy! Frozen Yogurt Protein "cookie"170g Greek yogurt (I use vanilla but you can play with the flavors)2 lightly salted rice cakes, crumbled into small bits1 scoop high quality protein powder (flavor of choice, again you can play around with this)14g pretzelsMix all together in a bowl. Lay on parchment paper, flatten out and stick in the freezer for at least 2 hours. Note: you want the rice cakes in small pieces since it will freeze and they can be hard on the teeth if they aren't. 2 ingredient Protein Cheesecake1 vanilla Fairlife protein drink (or protein powder mixed with 300mL unsweetened nut milk of choice)14g sugar free cheesecake flavor instant pudding mix (again, you can play with the flavor profile in this)Mix in a shaker bottle and pour into a dish. Refrigerate for a few hours. Add berries to this mix or top it with berries for a delicious treat! Macros on both recipes will depend on the protein powder/drink used but they will range 25-35g of protein and be 325 calories or less for the entire recipe! More high protein recipes on IG Coach Tonna
