Macros goin UP on a Monday 🙌🏼 The option for a one time macro setting is now available on my site! This is available through Wednesday of this week ONLY. – Why are macros awesome? Because you can live flexibly without feeling deprived or like you’re dieting at all. You know that your division of calories are appropriate for your goals. I see people all the time track calories and they’re over eating fat while under eating protein and they wonder why they can’t build muscle or lose fat! Tracking macros gives you a variable to play with as your goals change or your body changes. It is a very valuable tool. Many don’t know how to set or track their macros and macro calculators can be SO fucking off. My fitness pal tells you to under eat so bad for fat loss it pisses me off. I’m going to be doing lots of #TFLtrainertips on macros, but for now If you want to know where yours should be, if you need yours modified or tweaked, or if you just want more info on what macros are and how to track them head over to thefitnesslioness.com (link in bio) and let me help you! This will include a macro guide with all of my favorite macro friendly recipes like pancakes, waffles, burgers, tacos, and even pizza 💁🏼 PS things got really sexual with this donut right after this photo.

Final ab check before resting up for tomorrow ❤️ 6:15 wake up call, coffee ☕️😍, 7am bronzing, hair & make up, food, and then heading over to the venue by 10. It’s a hectic morning for such a short time on stage, but I am more than ready to feel that rush of being under the lights. In exactly 24 hours I’m going to be stuffing my face with donuts, Oreos, a burger and ben & Jerry’s thoooo 🤗

There are still days (and weeks) where I stand in my own way. It doesn’t matter how practiced you are there are still times being a human comes out. You let thoughts of doubt or fear invade your head and an unpracticed mind succumbs to the irrational thoughts while a practiced mind can either squash or combat. This week it was war. I would squash and it would come back. I would get mad at myself for not being able to squash and in a downward spiral I kept crunching myself into a corner. It all came to a head this workout here. My body and face may boast confidence but internally I couldn’t handle what my mind was doing to me. In times like that there’s nothing to do but RIDE IT OUT and remind yourself you’ve gotten through this before. Don’t combat. Don’t get mad at yourself for not being able to do something you 9 times out of 10 can. Just sit with it and ride it out. Fighting your own human nature… fighting the ebb and flow of life.. is literally fighting yourself. – We are at the beginning of peak week and I’m doing all that I can to stayyyyyy the fuckkkkkkk calmmmmmm. If I can do that we should be good fam 👌🏼

It’s now or never 😈 – •15-20 Feet elevated dips (these are great if you’re in between being able to do real dips and feet on floor dips) SUPERSET > 20 Plate front raises x4 •20 kneeling cable laterals SUPERSET 15-20 db dips x4 •Machine presses to failure. I would hit a sit to failure then rest 10-12 seconds. Go again and fail. Rest 10-12 seconds. Then I did this until I couldn’t get more than 5 reps 💁🏼 I think it was like 6-7 sets 😘 <<<< seriously try that – – – @howtogetabs @gym_videos @musclevideos @fitgirlvideos @abs4all @_workoutvideos @abgainer @get_fit_videos @fithealthyworkouts @thefitness.guide @gymgirlvids
