Client Success Story!!

This is Angela. She’s a mother of 2, has a very demanding job where she has to travel and network, yet she’s managed to get amazing results.

What’s even more amazing is HOW she got the results.

She didn’t have to starve herself or kill herself in the gym!

What DID she do?

- She prioritized WALKING DAILY, hitting a minimum of 10K steps.
- She prioritized walking in the evening after dinner.
- She TRACKED HER FOOD…even when she went to Disneyland & a Disney cruise!!!!
- She tracked her food on week long work trips that had her in 3 cities in 5 days.
- She brought high protein snacks with her ALWAYS but especially on various all day work trips.
- She prioritized protein, never eating under 120grams but usually eating more.
- She didn’t aim for some perfect macro spread and instead her calories varied from between 1450-1650.
- She weight trained consistently 2 days per week and doing a 3rd when she could but even that wasn’t always done.
- She aimed to incorporate HIIT, but even that only averaged 2 days a month!
- She’s NOT an alcohol drinker

And, while the pictures speak for themselves, what I love most is her smile in both of them.

I love that she looks so happy at both sizes.

She didn’t beat herself up over how she looked or her weight and she simply realized that she wasn’t prioritizing herself at all.

You DON’T HAVE TO BE PERFECT but you DO HAVE TO BE CONSISTENT!

Taking care of our bodies is a life long journey.

And it can be something you enjoy, when you LEARN to stop judging and beating yourself up.

Make THAT a priority.

Then…

…KEEP IT SIMPLE.

…PRIORITIZE YOU.

…AND TALK KINDLY TO YOURSELF, DAILY!

Love you 💪💪❤️

Don’t be afraid to salt your food!

When you cook at home, chances are you aren’t getting enough sodium! 😳

Good quality sea salt like these are full of minerals.

Plus, YUM!!!

Not all sea salts are created equal and can contain plastics so go with a reputable brand like these.

Time to train!

I train not just for my body but for mental health.

I don’t train for weight loss or fat loss.

Sure, I want to optimize body composition.

And that’s a product of taking care of me.

Training will only be sustainable if it’s something you enjoy and not a punishment!

SHOW UP. CHALLENGE YOURSELF. AND BE EFING PROUD OF YOURSELF EVERY TIME!

Hi there! This week I'm sharing my new favorite shoe that I love to walk in. It happens to be a running shoe but for the reasons I'll explain in this short video, it works great for walking.

Here's this weeks Favorite Things Friday newsletter with my favorite meal flavor enhancers that improve gut health too!!

Happy Friday! I hope you had a great week. I have been wearing a continuous glucose monitor for the 2nd week now and am loving the information I'm getting. I'm seeing how quickly my blood sugar goes up, stays up, and what it is when I wake up. Because I can see first hand what's going on, I'm quick....

Happy thanksgiving week! I sent a newsletter out today with some trainer tips for the holiday.
I think they are practical and actionable!
Which will you incorporate?

Happy Thanksgiving week! We were at a wedding in Sacramento this last weekend. It was so much fun to get away! It was for a long time friend of my husband Tony and she's my client now too! :) We did a ton of walking and the hotel had a really nice gym. Both of these things were intentional as I knew...

In this prospective cohort study of older adults, a high protein 💪💪 intake was associated with a lower risk of death from all causes:

I think with nutrition, we make it harder than it should be.

And when things feel overwhelming, we do the very things we are trying to avoid.

There is no perfect diet and that’s why I like guidelines:

1) include at least 1 palm size of protein at each meal
2) eat 3 meals + optional post workout smoothie
3) eat minimally processed food with no added sugar
4) 3-5 servings of veg a day
5) 1-2 servings of fruit a day

When I have a breakfast like this, I’ll include veg & fruit with lunch and dinner.

Training days, have an extra post workout smoothie with fruit.

Non training days, aim for 3-4 meals with no snacks and have 4 palms of protein spread however you want in your day.

I help my clients make BETTER choices.

Eat high quality real food (exception, high quality *complete* protein powder).

Focus on EATING THE RAINBOW.

Eat slowly and chew your food.

This starts with a shopping list and a plan.

Did you find this helpful? What else can I do share to help?

BIG salads are awesome for lunch. Easy to make with minimal cleanup.

Instead of store bought croutons, add some crunch with the gluten free wasa crackers. Got them at Sprouts.

I’m also adding Trader Joe’s pre-made organic chicken and the TJ’s Green Goddess dressing, and a whole bag of romaine lettuce. 👍👍
