I personally find the inconsistencies, not saying you’re inconsistent, but I find them super comforting. I feel like I and a lot of other people tend to beat ourselves up for not having the perfect habits and routine and not always being on top of everything. It’s really inspiring to see you do 75 hard, but also knowing that you’re not perfect either, and some days are harder than others. Along with the spending thing, talking about how you wanna be better, but then the next clip literally saying you went shopping with Hayden. It just feels genuine and realistic to how life is. And just because you make a statement about something doesn’t mean it’s always going to be true or how your life will be from here on out. I don’t know if that makes any sense, but just know I really appreciate what you’re doing here and normalizing being a normal human being online who needs to save money and who can’t always be perfect and who says things with the best intentions at the time but doesn’t always follow through on them because that it just life ya know. Anyway, sorry for going off, I love your channel and I can’t wait for the next one🩷
i appreciate that! i can definitely see it from that commenter's POV tho. the economy is awful and having the ability to haul things while also complaining about saving money can be out of touch. and more generally.. i think people want to watch people who are consistent to an extent. like people subscribe to channels because they like something about that person, usually their interests. and if interests change it can be annoying or frustrating as a viewer. but would be less frustrating IRL if it were a friend. i guess what i'm saying is i see it from all angles, but you're right that people are inconsistent, it's what makes us human :) and i am especially appreciative when people can appreciate the nuance :)
@@chandlerainsleyvlogs yes I agree for sure and I definitely see where the other commenter was coming from and I do know that people come to RUclips for consistency. But ya I just wanted to say I appreciate your channel and I appreciate people who aren’t afraid to be a person online and I just am at a point where everything online feels and is so fake and your vlogs are just refreshing! I def get it though, I’ve seen the hypocrisy with others where they talk about saving and then constantly do hauls and it’s bothered me in the past and I really appreciate your acknowledgment and being able to see all the different POVs
Girl, completely understand the spending situation. With working from home its soo easy to hyper fixate on ways to improve your environment and spend to make it that way.
Personally, I felt so seen by your comments on shopping. I have definitely gone through periods where I was shopping out of boredom or to feel better. I wish I’d gotten a handle on it before it did really affect my finances, but part of me also feels like I never would have really learned if I didn’t end up in this position (which is to say not completely screwed, but just not even close where I’d like to be at all financially to really be comfortable). So good on you for taking control of it now, wish I had when I had the chance.
46:14 please fuss at me if you don’t want advice but flax seed is my secret for fiber. I sprinkle it into yogurt, oatmeal, salads, pasta, whatever. It’s pretty tasteless and mixes in well
super admire your commitment to discipline and self-improvement. we are on similar fitness journeys right now so it's always interesting (and validating) to hear your takes and pick up little tidbits of info each vlog!
The financial talk is SO REAL. I struggle so much with managing my spending. I’ve tried so many budget planners and it never ever works + me & my husband sometimes have different reviews on what is and is not “fun money” 😅 lmao
I really like all your fitness stuff! I started walking more and was curious about weightlifting but find it kinda intimidating but I do want to try it eventually. It’s nice to see other women talking about it 😊
Thank you SO much for sharing your lifting journey. Even though you said you're not a professional, talking about your experience with it makes it attainable for the average gal trying to get into it. Also, will you consider sharing your planner spreads or plan with me's in the future? I liked your style when you previously shared! :)
I’m glad the buying comment didn’t sound too bad, I really didn’t mean it in a mean way (and english isn’t my first langage so making a well meaning criticism isn’t that easy.) I’m so excited to hear about the other dopamine things and free activities that you try !
Also I’ve reflected about it since, and I think the reason I made this comment was jealousy (because yeah the economy is shit and I wish I had new clothes). I still believe what I said, but it wasn’t necessary to say it and I’m sorry about that.
I’ve also been trying to improve my spending/financial habits recently. I have been reflecting a lot but struggling to figure out why I continue with poor money management. The comments you made about creating chaos with overspending really struck me. It was a light bulb moment for sure.
I noticed when I moved to Austin from Canada that WAY more people go shopping/out to restaurants as a way to pass time. I thought it was just a spending cultural thing.. until I experienced the May-October heat. Yes we go out and do things in the early morning, but then the rest of the day you are stuck inside. So if you want to get out of the house, well your options are more limited here and often involve spending. I found you have to be much more proactive about scheduling activities to not fall into the shopping due to boredom trap! I wonder if you feel the same way or not being a texas native. Best of luck with your no-buy!!
Weightlifting has been everything for me. For years cardio was not my thing and I could never stick with it. Finally tried lifting through a friend about 1.5 years ago and never looked back. I now lift 4 times a day with a trainer and its been incredible for me so much that its allowed me to get stronger when I do cardio and now I also run 1-2x a week. Never thought that could be me but lifting really helped that too.
😄 Oooo yasss to all of this!!! You seem lighter overall - like your energy level seems higher! Synapses on🔥 Can you please do a what I eat in a day top to bottom (maybe a few of them!) and options for typical fast food places… ❤
i can definitely do some what i eat in a day stuff here :) as for fast food i HIGHLY recommend smaller sam on tik tok. she does INCREDIBLE fast food hacks that are higher in protein and lower calorie (i'm a little boring and limited myself because i only eat chicken)
Very surprised by the fiber one brownie. Gonna have to buy some now lol I too have a yogurt bowl everyday. They’re so damn good! Currently I add magic spoon chocolate cereal on top for extra protein & crunch
Eek, I was thinking of coming to the comments to recommend Stephanie Buttermore right when you mentioned her. I also love her foundations program and the at-home program.
I had been meaning to ask about where to get started with exercise so I toon notes on what you shared, and I’m so glad you did. I always want to look into things first, but there’s so much bs on the internet and I don’t know how to tell the difference. Would you be able to share something similar regarding places to start learning about the nutrition side of things? Like I don’t even know what a macro is, but I’m afraid to google and get sketchy info. Thanks for anything you can share ♥️♥️
Next time you’re at Costco, grab a bag of frozen Real Good chicken tenders! Such a good, easy protein that’s low carb and satisfies fried chicken tendiesssss cravings
Do you plan to continue to be somewhat strict with being on a calorie deficit after your 75 hard journey? Or just more of a conscious thought whenever you’re about to eat? Kinda like I ate a lot today but I don’t plan on doing anything to work off the excess calories…or hmm I should go for a 30 min walk to burn some of it off? It seems like a lot after the journey to continue to be meticulous about it, unless you thoroughly enjoy it! 💕
when you calculate a deficit it should include your activity levels! so i am between light and moderate activity levels, i pick a number between the two and eat that everyday. keeps it simple. we can’t accurately calculate how many calories burned in a workout so it isnt wise to “add back” calories
I just canceled my factor subscription 😣 I'm not as disciplined as you and I could never force myself to eat the icky sides, plus the calories and sodium are pretty high on some of the meals. Delivery in my area (Florida) wasn't great and I worried about the safety of the meals. I do, however, love the Ghost protein powders and add them to my iced coffee and yogurt. What a difference!
re: yogurt - just recently stumbled upon ratio yogurt. it's super high in protein but isn't sour like greek yogurt... highly recommend giving it a try!
adding on to this with the chobani vanilla greek yogurt, it is so good and creamy, and doesn’t have any sour taste at all bc of the vanilla, it’s my fav greek yogurt at the moment
I just found this channel of yours (how is that possible???). Anyway.... I have bought the Buttermore home workout (tip: code RUclips gave me $20 off - mileage may vary). I LOVE the way you handled the comment. Tip for cheap date: Visit Little Free Libraries! Leave books you're unhauling and what a great video idea - Books I Found in Little Free Libraries. Also, I have added Oreo pudding, Fiber One brownies, and Oreo Thins to my shopping list. That looked amazing!!!! Thanks for letting us into your life.
Satisfactory is for the boys I stg lol it's like a nerd version of Minecraft if that was even possible. (Coming from someone who's only watched her guy friends play and obsess over the game lol)
i bought a weight machine like in the gym but still only do arms as my legs are huge and thick i have had trainers ask me about my calves (wow i dont think i spelled that right lol)
I don’t know if you’re familiar with Notion but I made a calorie tracker (from this video ruclips.net/video/uS4ecI-lQds/видео.htmlsi=qxZ75776m1MGQfw1). It’s so nice to have the foods I typically eat already programmed in and just pick them, enter the amount I ate, and have it calculate everything for me. I use Notion as a whole digital planner for reading, appointments, and basically everything. I don’t know if it’d be worth the trouble if you’re not going to use it for anything else. Looking at all of the template options is a fun rabbit hole to go down.

YES omg the environment improvements
I‘m so interested in financial topics atm. I would be excited to see you do a now-spend-period!

Um woah. This was so accessible and motivating to me. This all felt very achievable and real. Love.

DYING at your Satisfactory convo. My husband also plays that game and I don't get it at all. It felt like listening to the same convo we had.
HAHA
hahaha not the factory game 😂 my gf is currently obsessed with a grocery store simulator game where they just stock shelves for hours
I truly believe that I thrive in chaos. If there’s no chaos, I create the chaos….thanks therapy 😅😂
hell yeah, love to start my workday with a Chan vlog

you’re totally right!!!! i’d love to spend more time outdoors but it’s so damn hot here that we are limited to indoor shopping and dining
Okay cookies and creme pudding in yogurt sounds so good!?

lmao 10 lbs is heavy!!
Eek, I was thinking of coming to the comments to recommend Stephanie Buttermore right when you mentioned her. I also love her foundations program and the at-home program.
I am in the middle of a financial habits overhaul, so I would love to see any content on that you would like to share.

yep, can talk more about this in this week's vlog (i'm also gonna touch on it in thursday's vid!)
Chia Seeds are great for increasing the fibre intake

i'm not a huge fan of real good :( they're always so dry when i get them, they ARE however so macro friendly so good tip for others

i’ve been in a calorie deficit since late May, and will continue to be in one until i’m at my desired weight :) it’s not a huge deal to me honestly

it's a little too thick for me, but definitely a good option :)

Do you mind sharing which prenatal you take?
currently just the one-a-day prenatal, it's inexpensive compared to a lot of them
@@chandlerainsleyvlogs Ok great! Have you looked into the Costco ones?
❤
Do you have any good recommendations for those that looove bridgerton?
i have a historical romance vid or two on my main channel :)
@@chandlerainsleyvlogs ooo awesome! I’ll look for them!
Me through the whole spending segment: 👁️ 👄 👁️
