I talk a lot on here about how you can eat the things you love and still make it to your goals, but are you eating to FUEL your body and actually get to those goals? I will never say no to a cookie, and I’ll NEVER tell my clients to say no to a cookie, but I will always, always tell them, and myself, to fill the majority of your meals with quality, nutrient dense foods to fuel and build your body. Fill your plate full of color! Experiment with new kinds of fruits and veggie mixes! Make it fun, enjoyable, and most importantly nutritious. Your body will thank you. 🍎🥒🍓🥝

Does anyone else have a hard time getting their kids to bed before 10:00pm during the summer? 🤦🏼‍♀️ There’s so much fun to be had that we don’t remember what sleep is at our house! 😵😴

Have you started counting your macros, but can’t seem to stick to them? Here’s a little tip. If you find yourself always going over your macros and calories, just move your numbers up until you get the hang of hitting them! For example, say your calories are set at 1600 with carbs at 165 grams and you are ALWAYS going over them. Move those calories to 1700 and carb goal to 190 grams until you can hit that number consistently. Once you get that down, move your calories back down. Trying to go down too low, too fast can sometimes just lead to frustration and giving up. Cut yourself some slack, start slow, and find the consistency in hitting the numbers. You’re results will be better if you find the balance of your macros before you start cutting them down. Plus... you might just find that your body needs those added carbs to function at an even higher level... SCORE!! 🥅 🙌🏼

WHY do you work on your health? If you can’t find any better reason, do it for them. Being a mom changed everything for me. The way I dress, things I say, and the way I think about my health. It isn’t just about how I look in the mirror anymore, but how I feel and how long I can keep up with this little tyrant. Being her mother means I’m her number one example. The person she looks up to. The one that she grows up learning from. I hope that each of my habits to improve my health and be an active mom all rub off on her, not only so she can have a healthy, strong body, but so her MIND is too. So she can see how much food mommy can eat, how much weight she can lift, and how happy it all makes her. I hope that my daughter never has to battle with food. I hope she always feels strong and empowered. And I hope she knows how absolutely amazing she is. What example are you setting for your kids?

My favorite posts to make... my clients! And their amazing results! This client signed on with me right from the start back in January. She was one of my very first clients and we worked together for about four months. In these last two months she has continued on her journey on her own, continues to use to tactics and methods I showed her from the start, and she is STILL getting results! I don’t give my clients one n done programs that they can’t continue, I teach them how to take these new healthy habits into the rest of your life. Client - “I just want to thank you for giving me a solid foundation to get started on. I hit a low of 130 and never in a million years did I think I’d get to the 120s! Yours and @lostandlifting method of still being able to eat things you want but find balance with healthy things too has really made this things easy to do! Thank you!”
