Hey! I'm Matt

My mission is to help simplify what "healthy" means, because I truly believe it should not be so difficult. Whether you're looking for fun, healthy recipes, or helpful blog posts, you’re in the right place!

You don’t need a new year to start chasing your

You don’t need a new year to start chasing your goals.

The new year is always a time when people set goals for themselves. It makes sense, too. I mean, the calendar resets, so why not make this YOUR year?

But you don’t need a calendar to tell you when to start. You can do it right now.

Whether you have goals revolving around weight loss, strength gains, business, or relationships, you can start today. Or tomorrow. Or this weekend. You don’t need to wait until January 1.

Weight loss goals are very common when the new year rolls around. The problem with these goals, in most cases, is that people try to achieve quick results. They start January 1st and hope that they’ll be 20 pounds down by February. But like most things in life, those results take time.

Let’s say that realistically, you lose 1 pound per week. That doesn’t sound like much, but it is certainly attainable. If you start right now, you’ll have a 4 pound jump on your weight loss goal come January 1st. By February, you’ll be down 8 pounds. That is not only a realistic goal, but amazing progress.

Whatever goals you have set for yourself, I urge you to consider starting them now.

2022 is going to be your year, and you’re going to crush your goals. ESPECIALLY if you get a head start on them.

Allow me to point you in the direction of one of my favorite quotes of all time: “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.”

You don’t have to wait until next month. You can start right now.

If you’re going to count your calories, you have

If you’re going to count your calories, you have to remember that all calories count.

No, you don’t HAVE TO count every tiny bite you have. But if you want to be accurate, you need to be mindful.

Little handfuls and extra bites throughout the day can end up making a difference by the end of the day.

If you can’t seem lose weight and you swear that you’re in a deficit, be mindful of things like this throughout the day. There’s a chance that your calories are not quite what you thought and are taking you out of a deficit.

Please do not misunderstand the message. I don’t want you to be stressed about counting every tiny morsel of food. But I do want you to be mindful of those extra little things throughout the day, because you may be making things harder on yourself.

You do NOT have to count all calories. But all calories still count.

Hey, it’s me. Your voice of reason. It’s okay

Hey, it’s me. Your voice of reason.

It’s okay if you overate this week.

And it’s okay if you’re still enjoying those leftovers and sweets.

This one week out of the entire year is not going to ruin your progress. No matter how much you ate.

Even if you consistently overate every single day this week, that equates to just 2% of the entire year.

I don’t know about you, but if you’re mostly on track 98% of the time, that’s pretty damn amazing.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t expect you to stay perfectly on track every single day throughout the year, but I hope you get the point.

A day, a weekend, or a week of deterring from your normal diet is NEVER going to de-rail your progress.

Results take time to achieve, and they also take time to lose.

I hope you enjoyed, and are still in the process of enjoying, all the delicious food this week. But more importantly, I hope you created some incredible memories.

Because when you look back, those are the things that you’ll remember. Not the extra calories.

No ragrets.

Waffle lovers, you need to listen up. This weeken

Waffle lovers, you need to listen up.

This weekend only, I’m running the biggest discount EVER on my recipe books. These books are a couple years old now, and my standards have greatly increased since then, so these books will be retired next year to make room for the newness.

My pride and joy, Pumping Waffle Iron, contains 100 high-protein waffle recipes suitable for anyone (there’s even a dog-friendly waffle in there)

Beyond The Waffle Iron is the expansion pack of 35 recipes you can make with waffle mix that ARENT waffles. Pizza, donuts, pop tarts, and more.

You’ll get both of these books together for only $25! Once Tuesday hits, they’ll go back to full price ($55) until they get pulled off virtual shelves next year.

If you have ingredient/dietary questions, I answered everything on the sales page! Head on over to the link in my bio or cheatdaydesign.com/black-friday-sale
