Jess Gronas Coaching

When I was in the thick of my overexercising phase, I didn’t even notice. I thought what I was doing was great for me. My body was so “lean”, the amount of compliments I got 🤯

I also got “don’t get any skinnier”

Everything revolved around my body, what I ate, how much, when I ate. I thought it was something everyone could (and should) do because of my obsession I was able to “finally” see the scale move.

What may surprise you:
-my life revolved around my body and the anxiety to stay this small was unbearable
-I was told by judges at my fitness show that I wasn’t lean enough 🤣😂 Jess in 2016 wasn’t able to laugh at that. I was crushed. It created a monster.
-My periods were all out of wack and irregular, a telltale sign that your body isn’t working properly.
-I missed out on many social events / meals for fear of temptation or weight gain
-My coach even told me she was worried about me. I was in complete denial.

I share this vulnerability with you today, because working out for others, and not for yourself is damaging. LIFE IS TOO SHORT! Enjoy it, get good protein, take long walks, eat ice cream, and most importantly your body is a vessel. It’s temporary. Give it health and give the rest to God.

Learning how to move my body in a way that is safe for me, as well as learning nutrition, helped heal me. That and a lot of inner healing gave me the ability to EAT FOOD, feel good, and healthy.

If you are looking for a safe, supportive, and non judgemental group setting where you can grow and develop in your fitness journey, then Fit + Faithful is for you! This program will help you commit to your goals while also encouraging you to prioritize faithfulness in every part of your life. Dm me to learn more! xo

Maybe money has been holding you back... ✨
Maybe you feel guilty investing in yourself... ✨
Maybe you're worried about being able to commit to it...
✨

There are countless reasons why we don’t invest in ourselves. It’s amazing how we want to be all of the things for all of the people, but so often don’t fill ourselves up to be able to perform at our best level.

I’ve been there. I’ve said no when I knew I should do it for me.

My why is always being there those I care about in my life. If I want to be the best wife, mom, counselor, dog mom, friend etc. I have to take care of myself first🧡
This if your reminder that you are worth it.

If you are holding yourself back based on time and money, I’ve created something amazing, helpful, quick and FREE for you!

"Can you BELIEVE it’s already back to school time? I just started my new position at my new school (and my hubby’s alma mater!)

Here are a few tips for those of you who are heading back to school!

3 tips for back to school for moms/educators:
1. Start shifting your routine to the school schedule if you haven’t already! Go to sleep and wake up earlier at least 2 weeks before.
2. Remember why you started teaching/education in the first place. You have so many kids who need you 🧡
3. Soak up your days, don’t count them down, or dread the days back to school. Life is full of seasons, each brings its own beauty and joy!"

Taking care of yourself can be overwhelming because we often think we need a huge elaborate routine/plan.

But does it really need to be THAT elaborate?

It really doesn’t. A few SMALL changes can lead to a BIG transformation!

That’s why my FREE Fit + Faithful 3 Day Challenge!

My Fit and Faithful 3 Day series is just the start of the Fit and Faithful programs I run, where I help women live a life of freedom, hope, and joy by tackling the mindset and health blocks that keep us from what God has planned for us!
This is just the beginning to living a happy, healthy and more faith filled life!

Memorial Day Weekend:

Started Saturday honoring fallen soldiers with Murph Challenge💪🏽

Drank the fizz, shakes, fueled up well.

Ended Saturday with Margaritas . Healthy living is about figuring out what works best for you, your body, your life.

I’ve had the days of restrictions, saying no to social events because of my diet of the day.

If you’re looking for a community that cheers you on, reminds you to eat the veggies, encourages enjoying life with the Margarita instead of guilt around it, we are so here for you!

15 day cleanse coming up! Who wants to join?

What Mommas NEED:

1. Give yourself grace. If the only thing you did today was take care of your little human(s) than that’s AMAZING.

2. TAKE CARE OF YOU! It’s the whole overused, but absolutely rightfully so line of: put your oxygen mask on first. Please remember to do this. You’re too amazing to let yourself go.

3. Dig deep into your faith, nourish your relationship with God. Hands down necessary, most important. NEED!

You’re doing amazing momma! I got you!!

YOU ARE DOING GREAT MOMMA!

Motherhood is a lot of things I never imagined. And having 2 under 2?! 🤯 whoa it’s wild. Am I right?!

This is just a reminder for the Mommas out there.. - you’re doing great !

I’m proud of you! 🧡🧡

5 ways to improve your mood

1. Start your day with a prayer
2. Breath intentionally!
3. Do something that brings you joy!
4. Move your body! Workout, dance, skip!
5. Stop scrolling! Get outside be in the present!

You have what you need to be happy.
It’s hard to believe that in a world where external validation seems like the end all.
Connect with God and your body and do what makes you happy!

Are you feeling lost and unsure of what to do next?
The transition from trying to conceive, finally conceiving, 9 months of pregnancy to postpartum with a newborn (+ toddler) 24/7 is the most beautiful and tasking process life can bring. Oh and add back to work on top of it all 😅
And you’re supposed to be back to pre-pregnancy weight and clothes when you walk INTO the hospital 🫣🙅‍♀️
I’ve learned so much and am realizing how much support and love mommas truly need.
This cleanse will take you from: ✨tired to energized💃🏼
✨unmotivated to inspired💡
✨lonely to community filled👯‍♀️
✨guilty to empowered🤝
✨self conscious to confident💁‍♀️
✨frustrated to faith-filled🙏
Imagine yourself...
👉feeling healthy, confident, and learning how to maintain a healthy weight that you feel good about..
👉discovering your purpose for YOU outside of motherhood..
👉Feeling comfortable in your own skin / clothes - truly I feel so uncomfortable and I know it’s because of the nutrition choices I’ve been making
👇
PS cleanse does not refer to a: crash diet, restriction, being stuck on the toilet🫣 It’s a way to rid your body of the junk and helping it function the best way possible 🙌
Message me for the best deal! Discount is good through Monday !

If you were that dedicated you’d have achieved your goal... ☝️... 🤦‍♀️NOOO HONEY!
I’ve heard it said and being transparent probs said it myself: if you’re not dedicated to your goals you’re not going to achieve them.
This is 100 % true, but what are your goals? What will it actually take to achieve them? Are you willing to do whatever it takes? If not, maybe it’s time to adjust your goal 🤷‍♀️
Take my yesteryears of body building & marathon training. The amount of dedication and time takes a lot of sacrifice and determination to be prepared for either of those.
I dedicated, I did it, I accomplished my goal. Was it a part time job commitment wise? Yes. A lot of time was spent after work and on the weekends preparing. That’s not how I want to spend that time anymore. I have someone pretttty special to hang with.
Okay, meet mom Jess:
-thinks abs are cool, now serve a difference purpose than ascetics since they carried a human and were cut through to extract said human.
-kinda wants to workout, kinda wants to sleep through it. Makes working out a priority at least 3 days a week, no longer than an hour.
-Feels pressure to have a hawt mom bod, loves smoothies, also loves quesadillas & ice cream. Empowering women to love the body they have and take care of it.
LISTEN LINDA: Healthy > ANY look 🙏

What we don’t want to hear right? 😂

I firmly believe that’s why so many walk around with the weight of the world on their shoulders. They try to push down the trauma, the pain, the sadness in their life and it either keeps them stuck or bursts at the seams.

I lived in such a cycle of control, planning every detail of my day to the minute, shaming myself if I wasn’t productive or doing what I thought I needed to. In reality, I was avoiding the feelings I didn’t want (but needed to) feel.

It takes time, courage, support and a whole lot of God 🧡

The way we talk about (and to) ourselves is the way we FEEL about ourselves.

I’m a few months postpartum and as much as society says I shouldn’t be, I am happy in my body.

Why? Because I:
-stopped being a jerk to myself 😂
-recognized when I was starting that BS comparison game and redirected my thoughts
-reframed my thinking
✨focused more on what matters who I AM not how I look
✨gave birth to two baby girls who needs a confident momma, not one who shames her body

It’s pretty cool to workout because it makes me feel good. It’s nice to eat when I’m hungry and eat what I want. It’s amazing to feel happy in my body when it’s not the SMALLEST size or weight I’ve ever been 🤯

I love this body because it’s my vehicle to live a Christ-driven life and make a difference in the world 👏
