Only about one in five adults and teens get enough exercise to maintain good health. Being more active can help all people think, feel and sleep better and perform daily tasks more easily. And if you’re sedentary, sitting less is a great place to start.

What are you going to do tomorrow? Say it out loud so we can hold you accountable to it.

7 years ago when my friend and I finished our hilly 5k in under 30min — we were so proud 🥰

A swolemate is a trendy term for a workout partner or gym buddy. It’s not just someone you see at the gym or a friend who goes to the gym. A swolemate is an accountability partner who helps keep you motivated and working toward a common goal.

I still very much dislike running but there is SO much power and adrenaline that comes from completing something that is hard.

Look we’ve all been there — especially after a fun weekend where we wake up and want to deprive ourselves in order to “catch up” or “get back to where we were” quicker.

Diet culture has taught us that "having willpower" and doing things like not eating breakfast, ignoring our hunger cues, or using coffee to fill ourselves up is the best way to have good health.

But by not eating enough, we make our bodies: run on less energy, increase the risk of having nutrient deficiencies, and deprive our bodies of what they need.

Instead of trying to be strict with yourself and eating less than you want or need to, I encourage you try the opposite: lean into your body's need for food and let yourself enjoy it!

you can try 3 days of coaching for free! You’ll see that having accountability WORKS. In addition to having nutrition guidance and support.

Whatcha waiting for? 😉

If you want to work out five days per week and are working on both strength and cardiovascular fitness, try three days of strength training, two days of cardio, and two days of rest. You can obviously mix and mingle these things, but you need to be doing all three for sustainable weight loss.

If you’re not careful, you can consume wayyy too many calories when eating out. Especially with Chinese food. The portions are not normal.

Pair lean protein (without a bunch of sauce) with veggies when you can and then add in some of your fav rice or noodles. Notice I said SOME 😉

Our clients send us pictures of their meals throughout the day — it reallyyyyy helps them to pause and think about what they are eating. And helps them to plan ahead as well.

If you’re struggling with your eating habits and nutrition goals — we’re happy to help you and hold you accountable for your actions.

Peanut Butter Banana Bites - 50 Calories🍌🥜🍫This simple 4 ingredient recipe is below. Perfect for summertime snacking... especially if you have a sweet tooth 🥳

Make a batch this week and keep them in the freezer so you can grab one whenever you need a treat🙌


INGREDIENTS
3 ripe bananas
1/3 cup natural peanut butter
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
2 teaspoons coconut oil


INSTRUCTIONS
1. Peel and slice bananas into rounds about 1/4 inch thick.

2. Line a platter or small baking sheet with parchment paper. Place about 1/2 teaspoon of on a banana slice and top with another banana slice to make a little banana peanut butter sandwich. Keep doing this until all banana slices are used and you have about 30 bites. Place bites on two plates and place in the freezer to harden for about 1 hour.

3. Once banana bites have been in the freezer for over an hour, melt your chocolate by adding chocolate and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute, stir and microwave in additional 30 second increments until chocolate is completely melted. This shouldn’t take more than 2 minutes of microwave time.

4. Once chocolate is melted, remove one platter of your frozen banana bites from the freezer. Dip each frozen bite into the melted so that half of each bite is coated.

5. Place chocolate covered bites back on the parchment lined platter. Place back in freezer to harden up, grab your second platter and continue until all the bites have been dipped. Let both platters of chocolate covered bites harden in the freezer for about 15 minutes.

6. At this point you’re ready to enjoy or you can transfer the bites into a freezer safe storage container for later. They should last a least 1-2 months in the freezer.

7. When you store the banana bites for a longer period of time, they can get pretty hard so you’ll want to take them out the freezer and let them thaw for about 5 minutes before eating.

Sometimes you just need some eyes 👀 on you to keep you consistent with eating well and exercising regularly when you’ve veered a little off the path.

Accountability works!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“No one wants to deprive themselves of the foods they love which is why the thought of going down the road of dieting again sounded so dreadful to me. With Ashley's help I was able to learn so much and with small, mindful changes to my eating habits I was able to enjoy all the same foods and lose inches. When I signed up I told Ashley I can either buy all new pants or instead spend my money on bettering myself and setting myself up for a healthier future. I made the right choice. Ashley made the process so fun and was very available when I needed more than just the regular texts. I would hands down recommend working with Ashley if you need motivation and help getting back on track.”

If you want to maintain a lean, healthy bod, you need to be eating adequate protein. Period.

We recently had a client struggling so hard to get her protein intake in as a vegetarian (and a rather picky one at that) 😉, but as soon as we got her protein intake up, sure enough, the weight started to come off.

If you’re confused about how much protein you need — we can help!

Self-discipline is like a muscle: the more you work on developing it and using it, the stronger it will become. However, it's just as important not to start out with goals that are too ambitious. Instead, set small goals, and increase the level of challenge slowly over time.

STEP ONE: Know your strengths and weaknesses.

STEP TWO: Remove temptations.

STEP THREE: Set clear goals and have an ex*****on plan.

STEP FOUR: Practice daily diligence by having someone holding you accountable.

STEP FIVE: Create new habits, little by little, and keep practicing them.

STEP SIX: Change your perception about willpower.

STEP SEVEN: get rid of the all or nothing mentality. A health coach will help you with this.

“MY BEGINNING WEIGHT WAS 213lbs and was very VERY unsatisfied with where I was at and how I looked. I spoke poisonous words to myself and would then turn to food for comfort, making the weight, shame, and body image worse.

Ashley and the service she provided was TRULY a godsend. I learned how to be mindful of what I ate, how it made me feel, and whether I was still hungry or satisfied. I learned freedom in that I could have my pizza and beer on a Friday night and STILL lose 50lbs!!

Under her coaching, I grew to appreciate my body and the strength I built up. I never considered body strength as something I would want to have 40-50 years down the line...but it easily became very important to me over the course of this program.

Ashley was great at calling me out and holding me to the goals I shared with her, but she never shamed me. That was MASSIVELY important to me as I was already carrying too much shame over my weight and body image. She genuinely cared about me as a person--not just a client--and I felt her compassion when I began to face some unexpected health issues.

I would 1000% recommend working with Ashley if you have ANY desire to be more confident, content, and appreciative of the body you were given. She will push you--so prepare yourself mentally for that. But, she will also be your biggest cheerleader with every victory--even the small ones!

If you are on the fence about trying this out, take a leap over to the other side! It is well worth it.”

6 scientifically-backed healthy lifestyle changes to help you find more happiness: 1. Go big on fiber, easy on the treat...
06/20/2023

6 scientifically-backed healthy lifestyle changes to help you find more happiness:

1. Go big on fiber, easy on the treats
You probably already know that your mood and food are deeply entwined. Simply consider those mood swings after eating sugary treats or the irritability brought on by indigestion. According to research, being happy actually promotes eating healthier foods, such as fruits, vegetable, whole grains, eggs, fish and chicken. Yet, to lift your mood you seek out a sugary treat. A sugary treat may taste like a sweet idea; however, research studies have found those who eat more sweets are less happy.

2. Be active
Getting sweaty feels good. Really, it does! Being physically active causes chemical changes in the brain which can help improve your mood. It also brings a sense of greater self-esteem. Being more physically active improves heart health, blood pressure and some joint related pain. It also enhances blood sugar control and weight loss.

3. Connect
Feeling good about ourselves and the world around us is, by definition, mental wellbeing.
You build a sense of belonging and self-worth when you make connections with other human beings. You feel happier and more secure when you build stronger and wider social connections. 

4. Give
Another great way to connect is to volunteer. Even the smallest acts of kindness can improve your mental health. It could be as simple as offering a smile or holding the door for another person. Giving truly brings happiness.

5. Be mindful
You can positively change the way you feel about life by being in the present moment. It is easy to get caught up in your thoughts and not notice how your thoughts are driving your emotions and behaviour. Pause. Take a deep breath. Take in the sights, sounds, smells and sensations around you. Feel your feelings.

6. Get help
You don’t have to struggle to be healthy. We’ve helped hundreds to be healthy and happy. It is possible! You can enjoy a proper night sleep, ditch medications which have undesirable side effects, and eat delicious foods without spiking your blood sugar, blood pressure or waistline.

We are headed home from Branson, Missouri.

⛰️Went on a mountain coaster — I think that was the highlight for all

⛰️ Did a golf cart tour through lost canyon caves and saw lots of waterfalls

⛰️ Rented a boat and the kids went tubing

⛰️ Swimming

⛰️ Walking around the lake

⛰️ Pickleball

We did a lot in our short time here, but I definitely want to come back and explore some more. There are a lot of cute cafes, wineries, and a big amusement park. Go-carting, mini-golf — all the things.

Where are you exploring this summer?

Why did you even want to lose weight in the first place? Do I really feel like doing this today? Bleh.

It's this type of attitude and inner monologue that leads some people to start searching for an accountability coach 💁🏼‍♀️. Sometimes more than a personal trainer or dietitian or even a life coach, an accountability coach digs deep to help you figure out what you really want out of life—and exactly how to get it.

If you need help following through on a diet and fitness routine, an accountability coach 💁🏼‍♀️ is primed to not only guide you to better physical health but also reach a better headspace about your overall wellness approach and life, too. And it’s completely personalized to make sure this is a routine that you can stick to!

The majority of our clients are prone to binging, eating emotionally, are typically unsuccessful with diets or yo-yo regularly, and don’t feel comfortable in their skin. They don’t have a relationship with food that feels natural, relaxed, and sustainable.

Having a 1:1 accountability coach 💁🏼‍♀️ will help you. It can’t NOT help you. Because you’ll have consistent communication, check-ins and guidance. Having a coach will encourage that you are more mindful and pause before making decisions that you may otherwise be disappointed with.

Ready to take that next step?

Now booking into mid-July. You can try 3 days for free before you even book a consultation call 📱 ! Go to the link in our profile. 💁🏼‍♀️

There’s ALWAYS going to be stress, vacations, holidays, other things needing your attention and kids needing to be hauled around.

It’s time to stop putting off your HEALTH & goals…waiting for the “time to be right.”

Come on.

There will never be a “right time”.
Life is hard and life is busy and even if you had all the time in the world, you could still find excuses if you wanted.

There will come a time where you either:

1. Regret never taking the first step and are bogged down with health problems and/or a messed up relationship with food from yo-yo dieting your whole life

or

2. You look back at yourself in the mirror and say “Damn, I’m so proud of you for going for it and showing up for yourself even when it took time and wasn’t easy.”

Meanwhile, you’re fueling your body correctly, no longer stressing about food, and feel strong and healthy. Imagine waking up not being disappointed in yourself.

You don’t have to go the journey alone. If you do do it yourself, you would have done it already. It’s time to get the support and accountability you need. Let’s get you on the right path - because you know you want to. You’re scared.

Hit the link in my bio. You’ll be happy you did.

🚨EASY LUNCH🚨

This was super yummy! I am craving it again already. It’s so so easy too!

In a big bowl, start by whisking 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1/4 cup white or red wine vinegar, salt & pepper, 1/4 cup grated parmesan, and half cup of olive oil. Whisk until mixed throughly.

Add in 1/2 can chickpeas, 1 bag of chopped lettuce, 1 cup sliced salami, and 1 cup shredded mozzarella. Mix well!

When you realize that fat loss only comes down to a handful of factors, it gives you 2 things:

1️⃣FOCUS so you can spend your limited time and energy on the BIG PICTURE STUFF, what *really* matters to get to your goals;

and

2️⃣A FILTER: A system for weeding out nonsense, misinformation, and trivial details - because that ish will drive you crazy AND pull you off course. You won’t continue doing something that is TOO HARD.
_____________________

📍SAVE this post right now so you don’t forget!!

The next time you’re frustrated because you’re not seeing results, don’t waste time going down rabbit holes like:

“Should I stop eating fruit?”
“Is it the carbs?”
“Should I be doing fasted cardio?”
“Is it the sodium in the seasoning in the rotisserie chicken I bought at the grocery store?”
“Maybe I need a liver detox?”
“Maybe I need more supplements?”

STAWWWWWP. Take a deep breath. And take a close look at your consistency with your balanced eating and exercise. Because for most people, the answer is *almost* always there.

And that’s where having ACCOUNTABILITY reallyyyyy helps!

Our clients have results because they have support.

🪫Emotional eating is eating as a way to suppress or soothe negative emotions.

🪫Could be stress, anger, fear, boredom, sadness and loneliness.

🪫Major life events or, more commonly with my clients, the hassles of daily life can trigger negative emotions that lead to emotional eating and disrupt your weight-loss efforts. And it can be absolutely exhausting.

🪫Dieting on again off again will also trigger more emotional eating and cause you to binge. Binging looks different for everyone.

🪫We teach our clients how to fuel their body efficiently so that they don’t feel deprived. When you don’t feel deprived, you’re able to manage your emotional eating better and think clearly.

If this client would have based her progress SOLELY on the scale, she would have quit.

Through eating healthy, exercising regularly, and staying consistent with the support from her coach — you can see here that she indeed lost a lot of inches.

5lbs of fat takes up more space than 5lbs of muscle. Remember that.

Oftentimes our clients come to us with a goal number in mind, and that’s okay to have a tentative goal, but I encourage them to be flexible so we can see what their body can do without being dependent on that number.

About Ashley

I started having body image issues in Kindergarten. I had to wear a leotard in a Christmas show and I was crying knowing that I was bigger than the other girls. In 4th grade, I started to lean out a little more as I got taller. My parents enrolled me in dance class and I was confident enough to be in the talent show with a friend that year. A few years later, I wanted to dance on pointe ballet shoes, but I was educated that I needed to lose a little weight first before doing that, for safety reasons. That was another reminder that I was bigger than a lot of girls my age, and I hated that, but I lost the weight to be able to participate. Throughout middle school and high school, I exercised a ton, which is how I was able to stay at a healthy weight although I mostly ate whatever I wanted. I was in dance class at least 8hrs per week and was on the dance team in high school. My weight was always on the highest end of the normal BMI chart though, which bugged me. I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at age 16, an autoimmune disease. I was told that I shouldn’t be exercising as much for my joints and was put on many different medications. It was very painful and I had trouble sleeping.

Once high school was over, I put even more weight on. After all, I wasn’t eating at home as much anymore and there was a lot of drinking (shh) and fast-food stops. I got back down to a decent weight for my wedding (at 23 years old – baby I know), but I remember being so disappointed with myself that I hadn’t lost more and looked better for the pictures. A couple of years went by and I remember jumping on the scale after a weekend trip with my husband and I had gone up almost 15lbs! No wonder I felt so awful! Breweries and nachos had become our thing. I quickly got on it and got back to my wedding weight again by “calorie counting”.

Fast forward to my first pregnancy at age 27. I gained 50lbs and it took me a LONG time to get it off. People kept saying it would come off easy, nope, it was hard work. When I got pregnant with my daughter at age 30, I gained 50lbs AGAIN. I’d start out “good” and then just go crazy the last few months with my binge eating. After I had her, I got it off quicker and I even weighed in the 130’s for the first time in my adult life! I had FINALLY figured out how to maintain and did so for 2 whole years, until, we decided to get pregnant again. Except, I didn’t know that I was going to have two miscarriages first. The hormones and stress of that had me gaining some weight again. After I was blessed to have my last baby, I was determined and excited to get healthy and fit again like I was. I created my Instagram account to hold myself accountable. I turned 35yrs old this year and hit 135lbs which was my goal. No calorie restrictions, no excessive exercising, and being OKAY when the scale goes up and down a little bit. I focus now on my measurements and how my clothes fit. I’m fueling my body with foods that are good for me and I’m not overworking anymore. The most important thing is that I feel in control.

I am so incredibly passionate about helping people feel good about themselves because for so long I DIDN’T!! I know that insecure, unhappy feeling. I want to use what I’ve learned on my own journey and in my health coach training to support others in getting where they want to be! Above all else – accountability is KEY.

Hey mommas! I just got some bloodwork back and found out I have a thyroid issue as well as low vitamin D. I have heard about hypothyroidism making it difficult to lose weight which has been an issue with me lately. I was wondering if anyone else has a thyroid condition and found it easier to lose the weight once the medication started. I just started the medicine and am hoping that it helps along with my workouts. 😃
Just wanted to share a little success story from today and I want to thank all of you for helping me here because of your constant harassment (in the most loving way) to get my ass on the bike or the mat. My jeans that I wear for work no longer have a bulging zipper and I’m wearing a belt. Love y’all!!
Ok, here goes nothing...
I’m being brave and sharing my starting point. Yikes! I’m committed to success no matter how tiny now. 💪🏼
I ran 4.5 miles yesterday w/ hills in 55 min.
This morning I did a 30 min full Pilates video.

Prime video has great Pilates videos for free. My favorite series has been Pilates with Kait Coats. There are 7-8 videos all targeting different areas of the body.
Anyone who knows me knows that I suck at follow through but I want to be a strong mama! I am on day 2 of my HIIT and yoga!
Who else got sweaty this morning?!
