Balanced Body Coaching

If you get a full 7-9 hours of sleep and still feel unrested, here are a few possible causes : a) you’re under a lot of stress b) your circadian rhythm may be off due to lack of sleep hygiene c) you’re in a calorie deficit (which is also a stressor)

If you can work on eliminating the cause or reducing it and do the above, you may find that you’re more rested and energized for your day.

Here’s an easy high protein breakfast idea: breakfast taco 🌮
▪️3 eggs or 3 egg whites
▪️ 1/2 cup cooked black or pinto beans
▪️ pinch of shredded Mexican cheese
▪️ salsa to top
▪️ 1-2 corn tortillas

The sun is out! ☀️ Go outside and activate your Vitamin D. Your mood will also improve if you spend time out in nature 🍃 Just don’t 🚫 forget to leave no trace. Pack back in whatever you brought out.

A friend reminded me that I was not eating enough for the amount of activity I was doing. And, she was right.

I had been in a deficit, and never completely exited out of it. I’ve been comfortable with my intake as it had been one that felt good with my lifestyle and hunger levels.

The PROBLEM is, if you significantly increase your activity levels, you may need a small adjustment to your diet, your sleep and a reduction in stress loads.

▶️ This doesn’t mean a large increase in calories with the mentality “I can eat whateverI want” ‼️

✅ It means you may need more rest periods, more sleep, and a slight adjustment of macros and calories.

If you don’t - you may experience:
▪️fatigue
▪️ increased stress levels
▪️ insomnia
▪️illnesses eg colds
▪️aches/ pains in joints
▪️ muscle injuries

I’m currently not accepting new coaching clients, BUT you can always reach out to me if you have any general questions, I’ll try my best to help.

👉🏼 please know I can’t help individual issues as this takes a holistic approach and requires time and energy to help you with your personal journey. I can always keep you in mind when I do accept new coaching clients.
