Healthy Body & Mind

👉Motherhood will never be excuse. Motherhood will always be my reason.

I want my family to see me taking care of myself both mentally and physically, eating whole and nutritious foods, trying new recipes and lifting new PRs. I want them to see me doing the best I can to take care of myself so that they do the best they can to take care of themselves. I want them to push themselves to try new things. I want them to love themselves at every step on their journey. To be strong. To be confident. The list goes on.

So no, having two kids and a very busy schedule will never be my excuse. It will always be my top reason.

💭Are you?!

She found her main squeeze 🍋🍋dunn

In my ✨self-love✨ era 😚

I am 110% the happiest I’ve ever been. And it feels good.

Okay, okay. I’m kind of sucking at this social media business lately.

But it’s been a CRAZY few weeks!
New clients, birthday parties, bachelorette planning, and spending time with my girls!

However, today was a big day! I accepted a permanent position AND finished my 25th ride at .

I promise to be more active on here but please have some patience with me (and pray for me) as I celebrate my baby girls 10th birthday this weekend (😩) and my besties bachelorette next weekend!

Last night I walked out of spin without putting my shirt back on.

I know, I know. You’re all probably thinking “so what?”

But let me explain. I’ve struggled so much since having my youngest with my confidence. But since starting back to spin, and really focusing on my own health and wellness, I just feel better. It may not be a physical thing but more a mental one.

I know I’m taking care of my body and mind, and that feels good. So good that I don’t feel like I have to cover up anymore.

Thanking myself for putting myself first, moving my body, lifting weights, and eating right, and thanking for creating an environment full of support and encouragement.

👉Seeing as though we are in the midst of a heat wave, here are some manageable tips for staying hydrated!

✨Benefits of proper hydration:
•Removes toxins
•Cushions joints
•Energy boost
•Enhances/aids metabolism
•Clearer skin
•And sooooo much more!

💭Just a little reminder that strength comes from outside of comfort, from working hard, from figuring it out no matter the challenge.

Strength comes from doing the things you thought you couldn’t. 👏

If the last two days are any indication of how this summer is going to go, I can’t wait 😍🌻

We’re in the final weeks of school and this morning I was just reflecting on all that’s happened since my mat leave ran out in September 2023.

•I got a full-time job in the school system.
•I completed my second practicum.
•I’m halfway through my third and final practicum.
•I completed my Registered Behavioural Technician courses.
•I survived another busy hockey season with my oldest.
•I took my first kid free trip in five years.
•I’ve consistently helped six clients towards healthier habits and choices.

I know I’ve been super inconsistent when it comes to posting and managing my online presence- but I’m determined to kick things up a notch this summer and carry the momentum onward.

If you’ve read this far, thank you for being here!

💭Progress can be slow but quitting won’t speed things up.

✨Focus on what encourages you, remove what doesn’t, and trust the process!✨

👉If you’re tired of feeling overwhelmed with your health and fitness regimen, send me a message! Let’s work through those barriers together, get you moving, and KEEP you moving!

💭During a staff meeting yesterday, we were asked how we take care of ourselves. One of the top answers during this conversation was movement.

Lifting weights, yoga, dancing, cardio, any type of movement.

It’s actually proven that exercise releases endorphins and serotonin in the brain that help improve your mood. So not only are you doing good things for your body, but also your mind.

👉The next time you’re in a slump or just feeling down, push yourself to get up and get moving. See how fast your mood improves.

💭Not sure where to start? I have a few spaces available for 1-1 coaching! Send me a message 🙂

Gone are the days of avoiding mirrors and having my picture taken. Of hiding behind baggy clothes and disliking my reflection. Of stress eating and food guilt.

Now it’s time for self-love, accepting my body for what it is and what’s it’s done, being proud of my postpartum/breastfeeding journey. For working on my health and wellness to be healthy and well. For me, for my kids, for my family.

Now it’s time to focus. To grow. To learn.

And it’s okay to be working on my health and wellness while still fully loving and accepting myself as I am today. ♥️

This week is full of new things and I’m equally nervous and excited!

💭Do you struggle with any of these points?

👉I have room for new nutrition clients! Let’s start creating healthier habits and increasing your energy through proper fuel!

So far, my March break has consisted of cleaning every wall, baseboard, piece of furniture, shelf, picture frame, mirror, window, and everything else in between in 80% of my house.

How’s your March break going?!

Let’s try some random facts about myself since I’m not feeling so well and have hardly left the couch.

1- I’ve never been stung by a bee or wasp.
2- I used to swim for the NAIADS (synchronized swimming)
3- and I hated the gym when we went as a swim team.
4- I’m petrified of space.
5- I’m obsessed with trashy reality TV (have you watched the new seasons of LIB or VR?)
6- I love to learn. If I could go to school forever, I would.
7- I’m an absolute baby when I’m sick.

I’m so thankful to have you here, in this little corner of this big app that I’ve made for empowering, guiding, and supporting our health and wellness journeys.

👉If you’ve read this far, tell me one random fact about yourself! And thanks for being here!

👉If you’re tired of feeling overwhelmed with your health and fitness regimen, send me a message! Let’s work through those barriers together, get you moving, and KEEP you moving!

👉Here’s why!

👉 Simply put, you won’t achieve your goals by lifting less than your daily lifestyle requires.

•Whether your goals are weight loss, muscle gain, toning, or anywhere in between it’s important to challenge your body. Lifting heavier than your daily lifestyle requires, and gradually increasing weights is my favourite type of progressive overload.

💭Meal prep tips to make the process less time consuming and easier on you (and your wallet)!

👉I’ve recently stepped up my meal prep game and started meal planning and prepping my lunches, snacks, and suppers! This is such a big weight lifted off me on busy hockey/gym nights, or just days where I’m too tired to cook something healthy for my family.

💭Do you do weekly meal planning or prepping?! What is your biggest tip to make it a smooth process?!

The world is wrong side up. It needs to be turned upside down to be right side up. 🌎

💭Are you someone who struggles with consistency, and holding yourself accountable?

👉I’ve really taken a look at my healthy journey and realized I’m killing my workouts and failing on my nutrition. Because of this, I’m not seeing the results I want.

👉So, I’m hoping to make a group of people who need the community support to stay focused and crush their goals (let’s be real, I need it too) using the 75 soft challenge rules. There would be a group chat for your wins, struggles, daily affirmations, and motivation. As well as calendars to visually mark off your success.

🎉This group is absolutely FREE and I would like to have the group together by this weekend!! @@

👉WHO IS IN?! Drop your names below!

Hi 👋

Just me popping in to tell you I’m still here!
Between getting the flu, snow storms, and my own mental blockages. I have been struggling to show up. Not just on here either but in my personal life as well.

I’m realizing that the more I avoid it, the more anxiety I feel.
So here I am, just saying hi and putting my face back out here!

💭 What are you doing to make 2024 your best year yet?!

#2024

New gym, same goals.

I even upped my weights on two exercises. Super impressed by the workout room at in Moncton.

👉Made it here. And that’s on consistency.

Did I want to? Not really.
Did I anyway? Damn right I did. 💪

Whether your goals are endurance, strength, muscle growth, weight loss, or something entirely different… progressive overload is an important tool to reach them!

Swipe 👉 for all the info and benefits. Keep pushing!

From mine to yours, Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday season! ♥️

Please be sure to spend your holidays surrounded by the people and doing things that bring you nothing short of peace and joy 🎄
Take the time to sit, breathe, and worry a little less.
I’d like to thank everyone for an amazing 2023 and wish you all positivity and happiness in 2024 ♥️
