Fitness Uncharted

This mistake is KILLING your progress.

Not the sugar.

Not carbs.

Not missing 1 workout.

Your obsession with the SCALE is killing your progress!

So before you start restricting food or doing more cardio, just think…

1) Your weight will fluctuate. Depending on factors like time of the month, hydration, and even how big of a meal you ate for dinner last night! 🍝

2) Muscle is more dense than fat. So while the scale may not be changing all that much, your body composition probably is. If you are replacing fat with muscle you will notice your clothes fitting better and changes in your body size - this is why progress pics are so beneficial. 📸

3) You do NOT need to weigh yourself every day. I usually advise my clients to weigh at most once a week, because psychologically as women when we see that scale number go up we start freaking out 😱 and then chances are we will start to purge or restrict food the following day. 🙅🏻‍♀️

4) Stressing out over your weight or the scale will only increase stress and excessive stress raises cortisol which will NOT help your weight loss or fat loss efforts.

5) If you are being CONSISTENT, exercising & eating well, you do not need to fret about the scale. It will take care of itself.

So before you weigh yourself 🛑 Stop and think. And don’t let the number on the scale dictate your day or your self worth.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk. ❤️

Do you control your diet or does your diet control you? 🤐

I used to find myself thinking about food all the time…

What I could eat..what I couldn’t eat..

I felt good about myself when I ate what I considered “acceptable” or “healthy”. 🥦

And felt like 💩 about myself when I ate something on the “naughty” list. 🍪

Instead of consuming food, I let food consume me.

When I finally allowed myself food freedom and autonomy, I’m pretty sure the angels in heaven started singing 👼🙌

I finally stopped caring what those around me were eating (or not eating) and started enjoying my favorite foods without remorse.

I also learned how to say no. NO to peer pressure (to eat the donut) and NO to guilt (to enjoy the donut). 🍩

I’ve never had more control CONSISTENTLY over my diet than I do now.

It has become so integrated into my lifestyle that it’s second nature. I no longer feel the insatiable desire to binge or restrict my food.

*Although, let’s be honest, I still definitely eat way too many chocolate chips from time to time*

It’s a delicate balance for sure, but if you want to take control over your diet & find real food freedom (without laying down your fitness as a sacrifice lol) then shoot me a DM and let’s talk!

Therapy.

But really - did you know that petting animals releases oxytocin, the love hormone? 😍

Bonus cuteness points: her name is Marshmellow 😭🥰

YOUR BODY TYPE IS NOT A LIFE SENTENCE ‼️⚰️

No one exists within purely one body type, we are constantly in flux and fall uniquely on a spectrum somewhere between all 3!

If you have a fitness or physique goal then looking at how you eat and exercise are CRUCIAL parts of improving body composition. 🥗🏋🏻‍♀️

With that being said, knowing your body’s natural tendencies can help you work with your body, rather than against it.

That way you can customize your nutrition and exercise plan to fit your needs & set realistic goals. 👌

Research (and in my experience with my own body and working with my clients) continues to prove that 𝐞𝐱𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐞 & 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐭 have a massive influence on body composition.

You are not bound to one category or another and you can change the script over time!
