I always get the coffee maker ready the night before. I wake up at 3:30am-3:45 am (YES, 3:30 am!), press the button on the coffee maker then take my dog's out. My 3 liitle puggies are on my schedule. We go to bed between 7:30-8:00pm and wake up very, very early. I love this time to get things done while everyone is sleeping. I get all my clients workouts ready, work on my blog, make Chloe's lunch and get my food ready for the day. "You win the morning you win the day." Counting my macros keeps me knowing exactly how much protein, fat and carbs I get each day. I am the leanest, strongest and fittest that I have ever been in my entire life so on the weekends I allow myself 2 days of going over my macros. I workout so much and I am so consistent it does not make me gain weight. I get right back on track the next day.

BREAKFAST:

For breakfast I have either 2 whole organic eggs or 2-3 slices antibiotic free Turkey from Roche Brothers Deli with 1/4 cup homemade sweet potato mashed (add grass fed-butter, cinnamon, sea salt, 2-3 stevia's or honey) in the middle(1 tablespoon per slice), 2 cups of coffee with 1/4 cup sugar free vanilla creamer.

MACROS: Carbs 18 g/2g Fat/20g Protein=201 cal

**when I have the 2 whole eggs it adds 10g of fat

SNACK: 1/2 avocado, 3 ounces grilled chicken, small tomato, 1 piece of nitrate free bacon

Macros: Carbs 4g/ Fat 10 g/ Protein 23g=200 calories

LUNCH:

3 ounces shredded chicken, 1 small tomato, 1/2 cup of red grapes, 1/2 c roasted broccoli

Carbs 23g/Fat 12g/24g Protein=276 calories

SNACK: 1/2 cup Trader Joe's Coconut Creamer, 1 scoop Ancient Nutrition Chocolate Bone Broth Collagen, Ice, 2 stevia, 1/4 cup of black coffee.

MACROS: Carbs 10g/Fat 3g/ Protein 13 g=150 calories

Another snack.. Macros: Carbs 14g/Fat 3g/Protein 2g=90 Calories 15 Skinny Pop Cheddar rice cakes

Dinner:

4 ounces of grilled chicken, medium garden salad with Brianna's Poppyseed Dressing, Croutons.

Macros: Carbs 44 grams/Fat 10g/Protein 25 g=355 calories

TOTAL MACROS FOR THE DAY: Carbs 116/Fat 44g/Protein 107=1264 Calories

**if I add 1 whole egg and 3 egg whites I would meet my goal of Carbs 115g/ Fat 50g/Protein 128. I am not hungry and I would rather go to sleep than eat more food. I feel satisfied, so good night!

Ben Bergeron trains some of the world’s fittest athletes. A former Ironman triathlete turned CrossFit Games competitor, Ben has coached athletes to six world championships. As a coach of the reigning Fittest Man and Fittest Woman on Earth, he is considered one of the top coaches in the sport of CrossFit. He is the author of the book, "Chasing Excellence" and owner of CrossFit New England in Natick, Ma. Ben also has a podcast called "Chasing Excellence." My family and I listen to all of his podcasts. In my opinion, he is one of the smartest Coaches in CrossFit. His passion for being the best version of yourself is contagious. No one motivates me more. If Ben told me to give up running and focus on CrossFit I would actually listen to him.  Honestly, he is the only one I would listen to. Lol

The picture above is when I attended The Competitive Excellence Camp in April 2017 with Ben Bergeron at CrossFit New England. Best weekend ever! After this camp, I learned a lot about myself as an athlete. It helped me to focus on myself, be the best that I can be and to never look at the leaderboard (I have to admit that is hard to do). I trained with Ben, Katrin Davidsdottir, and Cole Sager all weekend long. What a blast! I beat Katrin running up Blue Hills Mountain. After reaching the top of the mountain with Cole Sager 4 seconds in front of me Ben said, "Caitlin, we found your wheelhouse." It was so refreshing to have a Coach actually embrace my love for running instead of criticizing it. Thank You Ben!

Watch the video below...it will motivate you to want to take care of yourself even more. Fuel your body with the healthiest food and exercise every day. It is not about winning the CrossFit Games for most of us, it is about staying healthy into our 90's so we can be there for our Grandchildren!!
