Hey Friend!! Pull up a chair, glad a glass of your favorite beverage, and let's chat about real life

Ever wondered how to track those weekend drinks without derailing your diet? 🍷🍸

Alcohol isn’t a traditional macro, but it’s often called the ‘4th macro’ because it provides calories—7 per gram! Whether you’re enjoying wine, beer, or spirits, here’s a simple way to include it in your fitness plan:

🔹 As Carbs: Divide the total calories by 4 to calculate grams of carbs.
🔹 As Fats: Divide the total calories by 9 for grams of fat.
🔹 As Both: For a balanced approach, log half the calories as carbs and the other half as fats.

For example, a glass of your favorite wine might be about 120 calories. Logged as carbs, that’s 30g (120/4), as fats, about 13g (120/9), or split it for both, counting 15g carbs and about 7g fat. 📊

Remember, balance is key! As a midlife working momma we need balance and fun! Enjoy responsibly while keeping your health goals on track. Just know your progress is quicker without it!

You can find balance and feel awesome with just a few tweaks!

Once upon a time, we didn’t know…
that October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month.

We didn’t know…
that along with the gift of this tiny new baby, we had also been given clarity of vision
to see vibrant new colors and extraordinary beauty in unexpected places.

We didn’t know…
that we had just won a scholarship for an education in the world’s best school.

We didn’t know…
how lovely it would be to have the sweet innocence of childhood stretched out to last a little longer than usual.

We didn’t know…
the joy we would experience, the friends we would make, the strengths we would develop.

We didn’t know…
that what we thought was our greatest fear was instead our greatest blessing.

We didn’t know…
but now we do.

Thank God!

“…and a little child shall lead them.” Isaiah 11:6

Happy First day of Down syndrome awareness (acceptance) month 💙💛

Flat belly & Car keys…you ready?!?

In the 6 Week New Client Challenge, you will track macros. And what that means to you is you will have clear data showing you the breakdown of the macronutrients you are putting (or not putting) into your body. And the real value is the keys you are being handed to QUICKLY turn your body into a FAT BURNING MACHINE!

One client told me that after just 4 weeks of tracking macros, she was learning what foods made her feel amazing! Even better news is that her clothes were fitting LOOSER and her ENERGY levels had SKY ROCKETED!

Having energy to keep up with the crazy schedules of your kiddos is ultimately what you want, isn’t it?

Comment “ME” below and I’ll send you a quick cheat sheet on all things macros if you want to know more! 👏🏼

Yep! Easy as that.

Will you give this a try??

Being a MOM is A LOT. Add having a kiddo that needs just a little extra help…

The weight can feel unbearable…
The lists can feel never ending…
The needs can feel daunting…

BUT one way I’ve learned to deal with the anxiety is to lean into SAVE a little Something for you, friend and Lean into COMMUNITY.

Having women in my life who are in the same life stage, same head space, and have a similar heart has made allllll the difference.

If you’re staring at this feeling alone or lost in any way…..please know you are not. I want to invite you to my table where we are chasing our goals (mentally, physically, and spiritually) every single day!

It’s Friday, who’s Thirst? I love this cocktail that can easily be a mocktail too! As the temps are warming and I’m dreaming of summer, a mojito is my jam! Give this one a shot and let me know what you think

Also, yes I’m a health coach and you’re seeing an alcoholic beverage. Everything in moderation. Alcohol absolutely has ZERO nutritional or health value to your body and slows fatloss for up to 10 hrs after consumption. So make informed decisions.

But here’s a good and simple recipe for if and when you decide you want one! 🥂

Be honest with me…how is your mood today??

Your mood along with many other symptoms can be a sign of imbalanced hormones. Let's talk about this.👇

Our hormone health impacts nearly every aspect of our bodies, and imbalances are common!

As we grow older, it becomes more common to experience hormone imbalances. Eating more nutrients, balancing your sleep schedule, and exercising regularly can help to balance hormones naturally. It's important to visit your doctor regularly and ask for guidance if you are experiencing any of the symptoms above!

If you are looking for guidance on balancing your hormones through nutrition and movement - I’ve got you friend! My next New Client Orientation round begins TODAY, Apt 24th, and this is a huge educational point for us during this specific onboarding! Reach out if you have any questions🤍

I woke up this morning with you on my mind. The doubting mom.

Don’t forget God picked you! Not bc you were perfect, but because you were perfect for this precious baby he was giving you!!

You’re prayed for today! And if there’s something specific I can add to my list,
Please DM me. I’m here. I see you! I believe in you! And that baby is so blessed to have YOU!

The first rule of air fryer club...

You must know the temp and time to cook your food! ⏱🌡

It is by far the trickiest thing to get down when first starting out and it is very dependent on the air fryer itself. BUT, once you nail them down you get juicy, flavorful foods on the other side! I promise!!!!

To help my girl out... I wanted to share some of my favorite things that I find in my air fryer on a regular basis to help you not have to search Pinterest multiple times a week.

What am I missing? For those of you wanting to know more about a specific food cook time or have a favorite thing you think worth mentioning, pop it down here and I'll add it to the next list! 👇

Make sure and save this for later!! You’ll thank me later! 😘
