In this week's episode, I'm sharing a few recommendations, including the Celine Dion documentary, Family Affair on Netflix, Pinterest boards, and my top 3 summer reads. Then, I dive into answering your questions!

Q: How to not feel guilty when I eat cheat foods?

Q: I’ve heard you mention that being super lean has some negatives. That people need to think about if it’s worth it. Lately you look super lean (and amazing! Such hard work!) and I’m curious if you have anything negative or new challenging things coming up from being so lean?

Q: Newly engaged and people are constantly talking about “sweating and shredding” for the wedding. Help!

Q: I’m going on a bachelorette trip with a bunch of my girlfriends, and I really like to exercise on my vacations, but most of them don’t. I’m feeling nervous and anxious about this. Do I not exercise, do I see if everyone wants to, or do I just wake up really early and go for a run?

Q: My workouts have gotten longer in time and I like to cut down so it’s back to 60-90 mins, Can I do this by reducing reps/sets but increasing intensity (weight on bar) to make sure I’m getting the same stimulus?

Q: Just found out I’m pregnant (yay!). How should I change my RIR or rep range (if any) during pregnancy in your program (provided that I feel well and have total control of this?)

Q: Is there anything that truly makes it hard to lose weight? (Minus major health conditions) or is that just an excuse we tell ourselves? Like, Oh I’m getting older so it’s harder to lose weight. Or, I’ve been eating inflammatory foods so it’s harder to lose weight? 

Q: Just reached my goal after a two month deficit. (My first one ever!) How do I get outta this thing back to maintenance?? A complicating factor is I’ve just started a marathon training block, so my nutritional needs are gonna go up significantly.
