Wow, what a month…I’ve been MIA for the past 4 weeks and I want to share why.
Maria, Apollo, Atlas, and I packed up our tiny beach home in Los Angeles and spent 10 days road tripping across the country.
We spent time in:
Palm Springs
Sedona
Telluride
Colorado Springs
Kansas City
St Louis
Here are some photos from our trip (I stole these from Maria’s Instagram, that’s why the speaker symbol is there 😆)


All before arriving at our final destination…
Our new house in Ohio!
Well, not new as in new build. But new for us ◡̈
Between packing, cleaning, driving, eating, and many stressful things (no need to dive into any of that…we’re keeping it positive today lol), I didn’t make time for writing.
I’ll be honest with you.
It was a nice break.
But at the same time, I felt like I was letting you down.
I committed to writing every week and I haven’t held up that commitment for almost a month.
And it took me more effort than it should’ve to sit down and write this one.
I really wanted this first email back to be a good one and I was stressing over the perfect topic.
I almost wrote about why eating the same calories every day makes weight loss harder.
I almost wrote about why everything is now “high-protein” and why that’s not a good thing.
But neither of those felt right.
What felt right was sharing where I’ve been and why I’ve been quiet.
Being on the road also got me thinking about these emails.
What if I made them shorter and sent them more often, instead of one long one each week?
What would you prefer? One long email per week or multiple shorter ones?
Reply back and let me know. Whatever you say, that’s what I’ll start with next week.
Excited to be back and I appreciate your understanding.
Your friend and coach,
Ben Miknis
