Today I crossed off Goal #42 from my 100 Goals List: 30 days of eating only home-cooked meals. 🎉

I finished it on the morning of my 34th birthday, and that felt incredibly symbolic. It was the perfect way to start a new year of my life—by proving to myself that I have the determination to stay committed to my health and fitness goals.

The hardest part wasn’t cooking. It was saying no to the little conveniences: grabbing a protein bar when I was busy or ordering takeout—not even a healthy salad was allowed. Every meal had to be prepared at home.

Thirty days later, I can proudly say: I did it.

This challenge wasn’t just about food. It was about discipline, keeping promises to myself, and realizing that consistency is built one small decision at a time.

42 goals down. 58 to go. 💪
