The Macro Mindset with Catharine Adams

The Sports Season Survival Guide: When Tracking Meets Tournament Chaos

Episode Summary

If you've ever found yourself in a gas station at 7 PM during tournament season, desperately searching for something that fits your macros while your kid's game runs late - this episode is for you. I'm sharing how my client Jennifer transformed from weighing food at concession stands to confidently navigating sports season while staying on track with her goals. No more "I'll start fresh Monday" mindset! What You'll Learn: • The 4-part Sports Season Macro Strategy that actually works • Why focusing only on protein targets during tournaments is a win, not a compromise • How to build a template meal system for game days • The mindset shift that turns "weekend damage" into "weekend navigation"

Episode Notes

Key Takeaways:
✓ Perfect tracking isn't the goal - consistent practice is
✓ Your macro practice adapts to your life, not vice versa
✓ Self-care isn't selfish - it's modeling healthy habits for your kids
✓ Community connection matters more than perfect compliance

Your Homework:
Circle every sports commitment on next month's calendar. Choose 3-4 emergency meal combinations and pre-log them in your tracking app. Remember: 80% consistency during sports season beats 100% perfection followed by burnout.

Did something resonate with you today? I'm genuinely curious which of these hit home:
~"My macro practice adapts to my life" (for my perfectionists)
~"Self-care isn't selfish" (for my guilty parents)
~"Progress over perfection" (for my all-or-nothing thinkers)
