  • 87 | Frustrated By The Scale? Instead Of Weighing, Try These Other Methods Of Measuring Progress
    Feb 3 2025

    Hey Mamma!

    I see you over there-getting on the scale once a week and then disappointed when there's no change, or worse, it's going up!!😱

    I've got some encouragement for you. In today's podcast episode, I’m diving into ways to measure your progress that don’t involve stepping on the scale.

    I know a lot of moms can get caught in the emotional rollercoaster that comes with the ups and downs of our weight. It’s so easy to get discouraged when the number on the scale doesn’t reflect all the hard work you’re putting in to lose weight, right?

    I talk about why the scale can sometimes be misleading and what other methods you can use to track your progress in a way that feels better and more motivating. Some of the things I cover in the episode include:

    • How taking measurements (instead of focusing on weight) can show real changes in body composition

    • The magic of progress pictures and how they help you see changes the scale can’t

    • Paying attention to how your clothes fit and, even more importantly, how you feel—because that matters too!

    I also touch on how to track progress in the gym by looking at things like how much weight you’re lifting, your reps, and your RPE (rate of perceived exertion)—all great ways to see improvement without relying on numbers that can feel discouraging.

    I think this episode will be a game-changer if you’ve been stuck or struggling with motivation, or if you’ve ever felt like the scale just isn’t telling the whole story.

    I hope you enjoy it and find a fresh perspective on how to measure your progress in a way that’s both encouraging and sustainable.

  • 86| Why You Can't Seem To Eat Enough Protein As a Busy Mom
    Jan 27 2025

    Hey Momma!

    As a busy mom, it’s easy to put yourself last on the priority list when there’s so much to manage. I remember there being times where I would wait sooo long to eat because I was trying to manage the kids and "get stuff done" that I would end up shaky and pilfering my kids leftover sandwich crusts for lunch...anyone else?? Not exactly a balanced meal😂

    But if you’ve ever found yourself struggling to get enough protein throughout the day, you’re not alone. This is a common struggle for so many of us, and in the latest episode of my podcast, I dive into why it's so tough and, more importantly, what you can do about it.

    Here are a few reasons why getting enough protein can feel like an uphill battle:

    1. Lack of Time – Between busy schedules and family meals, it’s easy to rush through meals or skip them altogether, leading to fewer opportunities for high-protein foods. A little time spent reflecting on how you can prioritize meal prep could make a big difference.

    2. Difficulty Planning High-Protein Meals – You don't think about protein when meal planning, or you don't know how to meal plan with a protein emphasis. But there are simple ways to streamline your process to plan high protein meals (and save time too!) I teach how to do this in my Fit Lifestyle In a Box Program.

    3. Not Knowing What’s Actually High in Protein – It’s not always obvious which foods are truly protein-rich (and here's a hint-peanut butter isn't one of them!) There are some simple swaps and tips that can make it easier to pack your meals with the nutrition your body needs.

    Want to know how to overcome these challenges and start eating more protein without feeling overwhelmed? Be sure to listen to the full episode, where I’ll share some practical steps to make protein a regular part of your day.
