MEAL PREP TIPS: I like to prep my chicken, banza rice and chop all my veggies during my meal prep. Allows me to save so much time during the week!
This dressing will make enough for a few salads. This is perfect for a lunch or dinner. For lunch, I typically add in rice or chickpeas for some carbohydrates!

I know this is a basic recipe, but after years of eating dry chicken, I have finally figured out how to bake juicy chicken! Love thinly slicing this chicken and storing it in the fridge to add to salads, wraps, power bowls, etc!
INGREDIENTS:
Chicken breasts
Avocado oil
Coarse sea salt and pepper
Tool: meat mallet tenderizer
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Spray baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
On a cutting board, pound out chicken with the flat side of the mallet until it is even in thickness.
Add chicken to baking dish and drizzle each chicken breast with about a teaspoon of avocado oil, then season well with coarse salt and pepper.
Bake chicken for 18-22 minutes until chicken is no longer pink or until it reaches 165 degrees. Key is not to overcook! Chicken will continue cooking as it cools.
Let chicken rest on a clean cutting board and then thinly slice.

I meet with one-on-one Life Coaching clients who are outside of my Virtual Fit Club. My one-on-one clients and I meet for 12 weeks and it’s 1 session every week and we really are working on mindset around weight loss. In my opinion, yes weight loss is figuring out nutrition and doing workouts but, what keeps us stuck is our mindset.

We know we need to clean up what we are eating. We know we work on how much we’re eating. We know we need to drink more water and get more sleep. We know we need to do out workouts, but it’s our mindset that holds us back from actually doing that.
All of my clients that I work one-one with feel very, very frustrated that they can’t lose the weight. It’s not that they can’t lose the weight. It’s just that we have these thoughts that we believe are limiting like…
Some of the biggest thoughts that held me back were:
“I am going to have to give up everything I love.”
Think about it, why would you bother putting in the work if you thought you were just going to gain it all back later on?
BUT, this is the mindset that we have to break out of these cycles of these thoughts that do not serve us and keep us in this gerbil wheel of feeling stuck. You have to change your mindset and so that’s what I do with my clients.
One of my clients earlier today, you can tell it’s clicked with her. Seeing my clients lose weight with ease and it’s because they stop resisting themselves. It’s because we make weight loss extremely difficult with out own mindset and we self sabotage ourselves. So when we can learn to just like get out of the way we realize it doesn’t have to be frustrating or eating rabbit food. It doesn’t have to be any of these things that we’ve once believed.
