Lean With Plants

I’m opening up about weight gain, bulking and becoming muscle mommy in training!All the tea, all things I’ve leant and my results. Come a long for the ride, and learn from my success (and my mistakes!)

Carleigh Bodrug, founder of PlantYou and author of the New York Times bestselling PlantYou, talks about how to create easy kitchen systems, meal prep and reduce food waste! We talked about making prepping easy, learning to cook, experimenting in the kitchen and finding quick and easy ways to meal prep that work for even the busiest people. What I loved most was our conversation on how to beat perfectionism in the kitchen, avoid overwhelm and create sustainable, simple systems to eat healthier, even if you don’t have a ton of confidence in the kitchen. Carleigh’s second cookbook, Scrappy Cooking: 140 + Plant-Based Zero-Waste Recipes That Are Good For You, Your Wallet, and the Planet is out now and I am so excited for my copy, grab your copy and get cooking! https://scrappycookbook.com/ Check out the Plant You website: https://plantyou.com/ Follow Carleigh on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Cxs4D6kLLTX/ 📚 Join the FREE mini course to kickstart your weight loss 👇 https://fitwithplants.com/kickstarter-opt-in-page-page 📆 Get a FREE 1:1 Weight Loss Consult to see how we can help you smash those goals https://fitwithplants.com/schedule-your-call-6 🤙 Find me on: My Website ➔ https://www.chelseamae.com Instagram ➔ https://www.instagram.com/chelseamaecullen/ Youtube ➔ https://www.youtube.com/ChelseaMae Subscribe and see you next week.

The goal isn’t to do easy things! We’re doing that now. The goal is to become the kind of person where hard things are easy things for YOU. The power of successful people is they know where to tweak things to make them FEEL easier, more satisfying, more fun, or slip into those behaviours better than other people. Unsuccessful people think things SHOULD feel easier, but then MAKE them harder. Successful people think things SHOULD feel hard, but then MAKE them easier. Once we know the path to success is to conquer hard things, we need to get a clear expectation of what ‘hard’ looks like, and then make them as simple, fun, and easy as possible so we can do them forever. In this episode, we talk about exactly how to do just that. 📚 Join the FREE mini-course to kickstart your weight loss 👇 https://fitwithplants.com/kickstarter-opt-in-page-page 📆 Get a FREE 1:1 Weight Loss Consult to see how we can help you smash those goals https://fitwithplants.com/schedule-your-call-6 🤙 Find me on: My Website ➔ https://www.chelseamae.com Instagram ➔ https://www.instagram.com/chelseamaecullen/ Youtube ➔ https://www.youtube.com/ChelseaMae Subscribe and see you next week

We’re going to talk about mindset on this episode. Bia’s and worldviews that get you moving forward our keep you stuff. I'll dive deep in to how our default thought patterns and internal dialogue can sometimes be very negative, and how to change that for good. Change is possible, because even though we may not have control over the thoughts our brains are telling us, we can have 100% influence on how we respond them.

Feeling annoyed that you don’t keep your word to yourself. You’re not the problem, you just haven’t had a way of forming habits yet.

We’re going to talk about how to really make change. Most people say they want it, but won’t actually create systems that force a change in behaviour. As James Clear from the book Atomic Habits states, “You rise and fall to the level of your systems.” Your systems are just the structures, environment and routines that shape your behaviour, so the cool thing is as soon as we use the 8 principles of system building, we can create systems that make it inevitable to succeed, even in light of failures.
