So fun bringing Baby B to her first gymnastics meet at the old stomping grounds today 🥺

Mommy wants a gymnast, daddy wants a hockey player so we’ll settle on golf

Tracking macros is not a “forever” thing, but I think everyone should spend a few months doing it.

It can teach you A LOT about your eating habits, a lot about how much or how little food you’re actually consuming and to break it down further, it can teach you how much protein, carbohydrates and fat you personally should be consuming to look & feel your best!

Here’s 3 ideas to help get you started!

Why do we have to get weird & take out major food groups to “get healthy” ?

Let’s keep it simple peeps. Scroll on through & start today 🙌

Progress photos are funny. Some people turn their nose up to them, some people place all the importance on them, others don’t take them because they don’t like their body.

There’s no right or wrong, but I had to share these progress photos with a testimonial from a dear client of mine.

Nutrition, body image, food relationship, guilt, working towards your goals, meal prepping, boundaries, settling, exercising, it’s all hard. But you get to choose your hard.

It’s been an amazing 5 months with Brandi & we are just getting started 😏

I don’t know what’s more impressive, her tattoos, or the fact that this is a 357 day progress photo🥹

Without making this post too long 🥴 I want to highlight some pretty important things that & I focused on during the last year of working together. Hopefully you can implement a few things in your journey!

1. Patience. This is a 1 year transformation photo, not a 3 month. Stop expecting results in an unrealistic time frame.

2. Periodization. 3 month cut phase, 3 month maintenance phase, 3 month bulk phase, 3 month cut phase. You should be switching gears and eating to build your body, not just diet it away.

3. NEAT. It’s super cool that you crush your workouts 7 days a week, but you know what’s cooler? Walking 8-10k steps daily & taking time away from the gym when you’re stressed af. Also, taking time to dial in stress management practices.

4. Sleep. If you aren’t sleeping well & often, you need to make this a priority.

5. Mental health is present even if you can’t see it in a photo. Start caring for my mental health more than what your stomach looks like. Appreciate what you’ve been through & what’s ahead of you.

6. We tracked Alison’s caloric intake & macronutrients. This approach does not work for everyone, but the fact that we did not dip below 1700 calories once in the last year, makes me a happy coach. The fact that she is able to take 1-2 days off of tracking every week (w/o guilt) to enjoy new restaurants, date nights & farmers market pastries without having to pull out her phone & log it, makes me a happy coach. The fact that she didn’t see tracking as a stressful task, more as a fun educational tool on what different foods and meals she can create & eat, makes me a happy coach. The fact that we are currently fueling for a half marathon & she’s crushing upwards of 2400 calories & 260+ grams of carbohydrates everyday, makes me a happy coach.

7. If you are completely lost or have been spinning your wheels, reach out & let’s tackle your next year together 👊🏻

Going into a diet/ cut/ leaning out phase, whatever you want to call it, will be instantly harder if you go in with high expectations of always progressing.

👉High expectations of what you want the scale to do.
👉High expectations of not having off days.
👉High expectations of only dieting for a few weeks & expecting your dream bod.

Go into your next diet knowing you’ll have to flex your “consistent” muscle a little harder, knowing that you should probably take progress photos & measurements to help measure progress vs only relying on the scale & also- add a few months to your timeline 😜 Picasso wasn’t made in 2 weeks.

DM if you need a coach to help guide you through your journey!

1,200 calorie diets are where dreams go to die 😔

💩Sleep disturbances
💩Irregular menstrual cycles
💩Low to no libido
💩Low energy levels & mood swings
💩Losing muscle mass
💩Hormonal imbalances

If you’re actively trying to achieve weight loss at 1,200 calories & can’t seem to move the needle, it’s time to start tracking your food if you aren’t already. You could simply be consuming more calories than you think you are 👀

If your food logs really do check out at 1,200 calories, it’s time to get you fed!! I will shout this from the rooftops, you won’t see your “dream body” by under eating year round.

Nutritional periodization is the golden ticket for body composition changes 🎫 Head to the link in my bio if you need someone to walk with you through this journey!

Take what you want, leave what you don’t.

When thinking of 2022 goals, think of yourself in 7, 9, 12 months from now. Don’t let your over abundance of motivation dictated what you do in January.

Happy New Year everyone! 🤍💛

As I’m going through check ins this morning, a thought dawned on me that I wanted to share.

A lot of people who aren’t working with some sort of nutrition coach might be having a really hard time this morning.

Some people might be in this horrible state of “over indulging” anxiety from the weekend/ holiday, while others might be a nervous wreck stepping on the scale to look at the number in between their toes.

For the people who are not my clients right now, I want to virtually check in with you.

Today is not the day where you slash your calories & only consume lean protein & vegetables to “bring the scale down”. Today is not the day where you run an extra mile to help drop some water weight. Today is not the day to look down on yourself with disbelief of what you consumed over the holiday.

Today is Monday & it’s the day where you get back into your routine of self care, consuming *enough* nutrient dense food, managing stress & working out because you love your body, not because you hate it.

Give yourself grace today🤍

You wanna know what’s super underrated?

Patience, consistency & hard work.

Are you someone who looks for quick & easy? Drink this shake, you won’t have to cook. Swallow this pill, you won’t have to watch your food intake. Just eliminate a whole food group, that will be super sustainable & help you drop weight quick🥴

In reality, all those things are simply chosen so said person can avoid the actual work it takes to transform their body & to be in a healthier place. Brutally honest, I know 🥲

The truth is, walking through a periodized process with my clients is why I do what I do. To end the never ending “diet” mentality.

We can’t keep skipping the process of hard work, being patient & consistent or we’re just spinning our wheels.
