One of the biggest obstacles as a mom of 10 (two of those being a two year old & newborn!) is making time to feed myself properly.

Being in a fat loss phase (I have about 35 pounds to lose to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight), I have to prioritize plant based proteins, fiber, & make sure I am getting volume so I feel satiated. Also keeping calories high enough to keep my milk supply robust for my baby.

This is an example of a fav lunch—easy to prep, maybe 5 minutes to throw together.

I use a pampered chef steamer to steam my broccoli (I fill it up & eat a full pound at lunch!).

In the new year: Keep it simple ya’ll ✨

Before you shell out hard earned cash, ask yourself: am I doing those things that actually work (daily movement like walking or running, weight lifting, focusing on what you put in your mouth?). If not, maybe focus on those FIRST.

Master the basics. There are no hacks to true fitness—just consistency with sustainable exercise programs & approaches that actually work (ahem: resistance training + some form of cardio that you LOVE).

Same with nutrition. The best diet is one that you can SUSTAIN. Focus on fruits, veggies, eating within your caloric budget. Whole foods, with some fun & pleasurable foods sprinkled in.

Big family, plantbased grocery haul ✨

Some items from a Sam’s Club Delivery & Whole Foods shopping trip. Just some of the things I bought to get us through this next week or so. We keep our freezer & pantry stocked & do weekly trips to replenish fresh items & pantry stuff we have run out of.

Exceptional results come from being willing to do things you don’t like sometimes. (Also: yes, I am 19 weeks pregnant with baby #10.)

I am currently 17 weeks pregnant w/ baby #10 💞

As a CPT & group fitness instructor, being active is a built into my life. When I got pregnant, I was in great shape. My goal for this pregnancy is to continue my activity, with modifications as my pregnancy progresses.

Here are 3 tips for staying active during your pregnancy (as always, consult your medical professional for any restrictions or limitations you may need to implement).

1) Make daily movement a priority. Having a step goal can help you make sure you are hitting a certain threshold. Every day will be different in terms of energy levels—respect your need to rest more, especially during 1st trimester.

2) Continue to resistance train. Resistance training will help keep your core strong & prepare you for the rigors of childbirth & will aid in a quicker postpartum recovery.

3) Incorporate some mind body work (I highly recommend yoga &/or Pilates), 2-3x’s a week. You will need to modify or omit certain postures or exercises, but overall, you should be able to continue a yoga or Pilates practice. These formats will help prepare you for a better birthing experience & hopefully minimize aches & pains throughout your pregnancy.

Last thing: don’t be scared of exercise during pregnancy! Moving your body & keeping it strong throughout these 9 months is good for baby, good for your mental, physical & emotional wellbeing. Consult your provider about exercise options & most importantly, listen to your body—it typically has great intuition.
