AD: I’ve been highly interested in learning the science behind nutrition and what exactly "good" nutrition is for several years! 🥦📚

I had a lot of questions that I didn't know the answers to like ...

"What are macro- and micronutrients?"

"What's the truth about supplements?"

"How do I know if I'm really eating to fuel my body correctly?"

and more. This is just a small portion of what I hoped to answer through the @precisionnutrition Level 1 Nutrition Coach Certification, and I am pleased to report that it went WAY beyond my expectations and nutrition-related questions. 👏🏽

Thanks to the PN approach, I feel confident teaching the importance of what we eat, how we move our bodies, what we’re doing for recovery, how we’re handling stress and more.

In the end, health and fitness coaching is not just about providing workouts and diet plans, it’s about helping people feel the way they want to feel while making small, better-for-you lifestyle changes day by day. 🧘🏼‍♀️

I am SO excited for the next steps on this journey (I hope you are, too!), and you can read my full review with FAQs on the certification with Precision Nutrition on Life In Leggings today at:

Just in case you forgot, we can do hard things. YOU can do hard things. 🥇

This week has been bananas for many different reasons, but perspective has been the key 🔑 in shifting that nervous energy into getting things done and enjoying the process.

We’re getting through the hard seasons.

We’re done waiting for “someday”.

We’re hitting goals.

We’re manifesting the future and making things happen.

And that is the power of having a positive outlook while managing stress. 👏🏼

Because - ultimately - you’re choosing … one day or Day One, ya feel me? ✌🏼😎

The biggest thing I’ve learned about living and

The biggest thing I’ve learned about living and maintaining a healthy lifestyle is that it doesn’t have to be perfect. 🙅🏼‍♀️

Just let go of that idea all together. Seriously. Instead, focus on making choices that are just a little bit better than the day before.

🚫 You don’t have to switch out desserts for raw vegetables.

🚫 You don’t have to give up the things you love like the occasional slice of birthday cake, a glass of wine while you cook, baking homemade cookies or getting ice cream with your kiddos.

🚫 You don’t have to live off of 100% unprocessed foods 100% of the time.

That said, you can avoid the extremes by being mindful of your choices, enjoying everything in moderation, and slowly changing your habits over time. Try to think of some little swaps or additions that could make a big difference like …

✔️ Going to bed just a little bit earlier.

✔️ Drinking just a little more water during the day.

✔️ Filling your plates with a few more servings of fruits and vegetables.

Day by day these “little” efforts will make a big difference and help you form healthy habits that you can sustain and learn to LOVE!

What is one “little” thing you’d like to aim for tomorrow? 🧘🏼‍♀️🍇🥤😴🥗 #mindsetmatters

“Do I need to work out every day?”

“How long should I be working out for?”

“What should I be eating for maximum results?”

Today, on Life In Leggings, we’re covering common questions that you might have about fitness. This post discusses several things that I have answered for friends and clients over the years, so I thought it would be helpful to compile some of them to have as a resource.

Check it out at bit.ly/lilfitnessfaqs (link in bio) ✨

I hope this motivates you to actually go for the fitness goals or routine that you’ve been thinking about for too long. Take it one day and baby step at a time until it naturally becomes part of your routine, and don’t forget to honor the process! 👊🏼

Are you Team Summer or Team Fall? 🌻🍂

Fall is my favorite time of the year, so you might already know my answer to this … BUT I’m still not ready to give up my go-to summer-inspired meals like allllll the fruit smoothies, cold salads and frozen snacks.

Can we talk about @justsalad’s Glazed Chicken + Bok Choy Bowl for a sec? While it’s on the Summer Seasonal Menu, it’s giving me the perfect transitional vibes over to Fall with the warm additions of deliciously marinated chicken, brown rice and oven roasted bok choy. 🥗🥢🍚

It also features a unique and awesome punch of flavor with the pickled veggies, Furikake Shake + Umami Glaze. 🙌🏼💥

So, you could say I’m not quite ready for fall today … but I’ll be there soon. How about you?! ☀️ 🍁

Consider this your Sunday reminder to fill your cup and do whatever you need to be the best version of YOU this week. 🥤✨

Recharge
Brunch

Get Out

Work Out
Rest Day
Dance
Sleep
etc.

As a self-proclaimed “extroverted” introvert, I like to be social and have things on the calendar, but I need my time to recover from those activities, too.

Meanwhile, the hubby could go-go-go all day, every day. He gets FOMO if he feels like he’s missing out on something he’d like to do, and it took awhile for both of us to recognize this difference and agree to each do what fills our souls, even if it’s separately at times. 👨‍👩‍👦 ✨🏃🏽‍♂️✨🧘🏼‍♀️

Don’t get me wrong … I LOVE my time with my little fam. But momma needs some time to herself every now and then, too. Ya feel me? 🙋🏼‍♀️

Where are my extroverted introverts at?!

I’d love to know what fills your cup! 👇🏼

𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐝𝐚𝐲 #𝐜𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐭? ☕⁣
⁣
I shared all about this in Stories yesterday, but the conversation deserves a permanent space here on the main feed. ⁣
⁣
𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐲. 💥⁣
⁣
Daughter, Mom, Wife, Friend, Sister, Juggler of all the Hats, Working Mom, Work-At-Home Mom, Stay-At-Home Mom, CEO, Single Mom, Single, whatever.⁣
⁣
𝗪𝐡𝐨 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨? 👀⁣
⁣
If your answer has ever been “just a mom” or “just” anything … THAT is what you are allowing yourself to identify as. ⁣
⁣
It’s the “just” way of thinking, like it’s not good enough for your own approval.⁣
⁣
𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧, 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩. 🚫⁣
⁣
Whatever you’re doing in whatever season you’re in, it’s not unseen. You are doing the work meant for the chapter you’re in, and God has carefully placed you exactly where He wants you to be for the people in your life.⁣
⁣
You are never “just” anything, so please remove that language - especially on the days you wonder if you're living up to your full potential.⁣ (We don’t always feel like we are!)
⁣
✨⁣
⁣
Our identities are what we strive to be. It’s a never-ending circle of performance, pressure and approval. ⁣
⁣
BUT! 👏🏼 It’s not supposed to be that way. We only enter and stay in this cycle of searching for self-love and approval if we choose to.⁣
⁣
Stop choosing it.⁣
⁣
✨⁣
⁣
Your identity will change throughout your life, and it will become whatever you give the most power and authority to!⁣ Stop being “just” whoever.⁣
⁣
You are much more than an identity, and you are the WORLD to so many! 🌎💞 #mindsetmatters
