What I Eat in a Day to Stay Fit in My 40s

Hey, Cleanish Squad! There’s so much noise out there about what it takes to eat healthy and stay fit—and honestly, it doesn’t have to be that complicated. In this week’s video, I’m inviting you into a normal day in my life—no fluff, no fad diets—just real meals that help me stay strong, energized, and consistent in my 40s. I’ll show you exactly what I eat in a day—how I build my meals, track my macros, and fuel my body to support my workouts and my life. Watch here. I hope this gives you a...

Hey, Cleanish Squad! I recorded this email for you! Click to listen. I used to eat without thinking—grabbing something quick between work and kids, picking at whatever snacks were in the house, tasting dinner as I cooked, or “treating myself” after a long day. I never really stopped to ask if I was actually hungry or just running on autopilot. I had no idea how often I was eating just out of habit, stress, or because I didn’t have a plan—not because I was actually hungry. What finally helped...

Hey, Cleanish Squad! I’ve lost over 50 pounds five different times. And while I’ve learned a lot through experience, I also made a lot of mistakes I wish I could’ve avoided. If I could go back and talk to myself at the very beginning of my weight loss journey, there are so many important lessons I wish I could share. So, in this week’s video, I’m sharing the 10 things I wish I had known before starting my weight loss journey—so you don’t have to learn them the hard way, too. Watch the video...

Hi, Cleanish Squad! One of the biggest mistakes I made early on in my weight loss journey was thinking I had to eat as little as possible to see results. I’d load up on low-calorie, artificial foods and end up feeling exhausted, hungry, and frustrated. Nowadays, I focus on real food, plenty of protein, and meals that actually satisfy me. Today, I’m breaking it down by sharing what I ate yesterday and why it worked. Breakfast: High-Protein & Balanced Macros: 43g Carbs / 21g Fat / 57g Protein /...

Hi, Cleanish Squad! I love spring. The weather is just right—warm but not too hot, breezy, and full of that fresh-start feeling. The wildflowers are in full bloom in Austin, the farmer’s markets are bursting with fresh produce, and eating outside actually feels enjoyable before the Texas heat kicks in. This time of year, I crave light, fresh meals—things that feel effortless but still packed with flavor. So, I pulled together some of my favorite A Sweet Pea Chef recipes that are perfect for...

Hey, Cleanish Squad! If I had to lose 100 pounds in 2025, I wouldn’t waste time on crash diets, extreme workouts, or quick fixes. I’ve been down this road before—five times, actually—and I know exactly what works (and what makes everything harder). In this week’s video, I’m breaking down the exact strategy I’d use to lose 100 pounds sustainably—no gimmicks, just real, lasting results. Watch the video here. This video is for you if you’ve been feeling stuck or overwhelmed or just want a clear,...

Hi, Cleanish Squad! Want to hear this instead? Click to listen! Over the years—both in my own weight loss journey and coaching clients—I’ve seen a lot of different approaches to losing fat. Some work, some don’t, and some are just downright exhausting. Let’s be honest—losing weight isn’t the hard part. Keeping it off is. No matter what method someone follows, success always comes back to three non-negotiables. These things make fat loss sustainable rather than another cycle of losing and...

Hey, Cleanish Squad! Last week, I accidentally sent you an email about this video before it was even out (oops), but now—for real this time—it’s here! Last week, we had to make a tough call: drop everything and fly to LA for Jordan to act in a short film, or stick to the routine I had just started rebuilding. I won’t lie—part of me hesitated. I’d just gotten back into a rhythm after months of travel, and the thought of throwing everything off again made me nervous. But then I realized… Some...

Hi, Cleanish Squad! Listen to me read this email to you :) It’s time for another Cleanish Squad Q&A! You asked, I answered. This week, we’re covering everything from meal timing to nighttime cravings—and some tough love on why weight loss keeps coming back. Let’s get into it. 1. "I eat clean all day, but I always crave junk food at night. How do I stop sabotaging myself?” This is a common struggle, and the solution isn’t just about willpower—it’s about habit, blood sugar, and your...

Hey, Cleanish Squad! So… about that last email. Yeah. That was totally the wrong video. 🤦♀️ I’d love to tell you this was some kind of strategic marketing experiment, but nope—I just completely messed up. One second, I was feeling all on top of things, back in my routine, and the next? I hit send on the wrong email and it took me about an hour until I realized my mistake. Classic Lacey doing too many things all at once without a good process. Anyway, let’s all agree to never speak of this...
