Week 1 of 2024 🌴☀️🏋🏻‍♀️ This week was all about habit forming and goal setting with my clients. The reccurring theme was a better night time and morning routine. Which is one of the habits I want to improve for myself as well.

So far, I’ve been loving listening to an audiobook first thing in the morning and not touching my phone for 1 hour after I wake up. My night time routine still needs some work. 💤😴 I love that my clients and I are working toward a simlar habit!

Another goal was Dry January! It’s day 5, I’m going strong lol 😆

Happy Friday! 🫶🏼✨

This month has been full of happy moments. I presented on:
🍎How to Master Rebooking’s for the Dietitians over at
🍎 The impact of exercise on Weight Loss for the employees at
🍎 Later today I’ll be at to present on Balanced Eating during the holiday season.

In the mist of all this I said goodbye to my in person clients, celebrated my move and turned 30. I managed to squeeze in some beautiful fall runs and workouts. The end of the year tends to be full of social gatherings and easy to fall off track. Reminder to give yourself grace and take some time for yourself! Pour into your cup first. See ya in the New Year 🪩 🥂🍾 It’s time for a little Instagram Hiatus, suggest you do the same if your feeling a little burnt out.

The next 5 weeks I will be saying goodbye to friends, family and my in person training clients. Life is going to be a bit chaotic the next few weeks. Like I teach most of you it’s all about habits & balance. I’m staying consistent with my workouts, making them priority during a stressful time is the best way I manage my anxiety. As for food, it’s all about the habits of making sure I get veggies in 90% of my meals and always having lean protein and whole grains.

See ya in MIA 👋🏼🌊

My face when my clients actually go on that walk. 🚶🏻‍♀️🚶🏻‍♀️🚶🏻‍♀️ Reminder: Non exercise activity is just as if not more important!

What Fad Diets have you tried that have been unsuccessful and successful? This is an open space ..

Did you know balance can look different on everyone?

My balanced diet can look a lot different then my clients, family and friends. How we eat is very unique. I personally don’t show too much of what I eat on day to day basis here because I don’t want anyone to compare what I eat to what they eat. I tend to take pictures of food that looks beautiful to me but 90% what I’m eating doesn’t look insta worthy. Not to say it’s not nutritious and delicious. My balance looks like:
✔️ Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner every single day. No skipping
✔️ Fruit at breakfast everyday. Preferably Berries
✔️ 90 oz of water and max of 2 cups of coffee a day
✔️Veggies at lunch and dinner (90% of the time)
✔️ Some weeks 0 alcohol and others max 4-5 (I’ve greatly reduced my intake)
✔️ Lifting 2-3 days a week and running 1-2 days a week

I consistently follow this day in and day out. It works for me right now.. 6 months from now this may look different.

I spy potassium! Potatoes are rich in potassium. Why is that important?

🧠Potassium helps with muscle cramps, helps synthesize proteins and helps metabolize carbohydrates. It can also help lower blood pressure.

🍌Other Potassium Rich Foods Include: apricots, avocado, dates, pomegranate, coconut water, salmon, mushrooms and much more!

Radish & Avocado Toast

Did you know Radishes are a little bit more than a garnish you see on avocado toast?
Radishes are nutrient-rich full of Vitamin B’s, fiber, folate, gallic acid and potassium, and copper. They are an excellent source of ferulic acid and quercetin which possess cancer-fighting properties.

Fun Fact: I picked that raddish out of my cousin’s garden!

If you have been very low cal for a long time this is what happens to your body..

🔥Slows Metabolism: Your body begins to learn how to survive on less engery= slowing your metabolism. You may become sluggish, irritable, and fatigued. Once your stop undereating your body takes a while to recover and rev back up

💪🏼Loss of muscle: Your body needs glucose to feed your muscles & organs= You NEED CARBS to live.

🥦Nutrient Deficiencies: Eating very few calories puts you at risk for nutrient deficiency, protein malnutrition, and very dangerous electrolyte imbalances.

This typically happens when you are dipping to/below 1200 calories for women and 1500 calories for men for an extended time. However, the calories your body requires depend on s*x, age, activity level, and hormones. So for weight loss how many calories do you need to reduce? Typically 250-500 calories a day is a safe bet.

I challenged myself today like I never have before. Such a great day, I did my first spartan and it was a Super.

I want to thank my clients for sending my family and I condolences. I ask you to please read/listen to my cousins story (Freedom Writer Podcast #73) and Read (Dear Freedom Writer) 🦋🤍 She has and will always be our light. If you are available to please donate to:

Happy Sunday ☀️

Here is a reminder:
I am NOT the dietitian for you if you are
Looking for a quick fix
Looking to be weighed in
Looking to be restricted
Excepting that I will say order salad over pasta
Excepting that I will recommend rigorous workouts everyday
Expecting that I will say your food choices are bad
Excepting that I will say you can’t go out with friends and family.

I am the dietitian/personal trainer that will always order the PASTA, the side of FRIES, the TACOS. If you want to have less stress around nutrition, fitness and over all body image I’m the girl for you. Life is hard as it is, food and fitness should be enjoyable. Happy Friday 💚
