I am on vacation. And I ordered groceries. Eating healthy makes me feel good. Cooking a good breakfast in the morning is one of my favorite meals of the day. It’s not stressful to me. When I’m traveling I try to find a place with a kitchen or refrigerator at the very least. That way I know I can store some healthy things that will make me feel good. Am I going to eat out while we are gone. Absolutely. Am I going to do it everyday? Nope. If I ate out everyday I would feel awful. My digestion would be shot. My energy would suck. I would feel bloated and sluggish. None of that sounds good when you are spending the entire day by the pool IMO. Here are some grocery staples that I ordered: eggs, eggs whites, avocado, fruit, chicken nuggets, salad kits, veggie trays, wheat thins. These are staples in my diet when I’m home or away. And they are a great plan B for when the rest of the house wants to skip lunch or go out to eat. And I know that choosing these foods helps ME to feel good. So. When you’re on vacation, do your cook? What are some of your staples? #healthyeating #healthylifestyle #balance #eatyourveggies #accountability #icansupportyou #keepitsimple #changeishard #nursecoach #onlinecoach #notabeachbodycoach #healthyfoodisgood #mealtransformation #easyrecipes #personaltrainer #nutritioncoach #foodmakeover

So why do we lose weight when we cut out carbs? 🍞 You are replacing bread, buns, and fries with low-calorie veggies. I love when clients get a ton of veggies in their diet, but we also need carbs for energy. 🍩 If you were someone who was eating a lot of simple carbs and sugar, you are now eliminating a lot of extra calories that weren’t keeping you full in the first place. 🥦 Eliminating a food group limits what you can eat, so you choose easy options like meat and veggies. Think about things you snack on, most of them are carbs. It's hard to be #snacky when you can only have protein and fat. Moral of the story is less bread and candy, and more oats and potatoes! So how do you get back to eating carbs again and enjoying life? Well, you need to start SLOWLY. Start by adding in a SMALL serving of carbs at one or 2 meals per day. As you begin to add carbs back in your body will adjust and begin to use them as fuel. When adding carbs back into your diet, try to choose whole foods, meaning foods that come from the ground. #Potatoes, rice, starchy veggies, grains, etc. These foods are easier to digest and will cause less bloating. Depending on how long you have been cutting #carbs, it may take you longer to routinely eat them without digestive issues or #bloating.

I am the queen of “handling it”. Being a critical cate flight nurse I’ve learned how to make important decisions quickly, multitask, prioritize the important things, and shift quickly from one thing to another. But that’s also a flaw. Sometimes I get too far down and when one more thing is added to my plate I just crumble. Anyone else feel like this? I use these abilities in everyday life like this. Bachelorette is playing in the background, I’ve got a face mask on, making my breakfast and my greens all at the same time. I’m able to shave off some time by doing all of the simultaneously. None of these things require me to focus 100% I also know when it’s time to focus on something. And for me that’s my lifting sessions. I make sure this is MY TIME. My phone goes on do not disturb, I put on a good playlist, and turn it all the way up. I do my best to not look at my phone and really focus on what I’m doing. This is my “therapy”. Lifting heavy things, CHALLENGING myself, PUSHING past what I feel like I’m capable of, STRUGGLING. IS SO EMPOWERING MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY. So when you are just going through the motions, sometimes you’re not as effective as you want to be. And something like working out, if you are taking time out of your day to do this, you want to focus and put your effort into it. Otherwise why waste your time. I would rather put 100% effort into my workouts 2-3 days a week, than give half ass effort daily. So what are some things that you FOCUS on, and what are things you can multitask with?? #moveyourbody #focusonwhatsimportant #NEAT #focus #onlinecoach #personaltrainer #nurse #healthcoach #workouts #giveityourall 
6 simple steps to improve your #health! Aim to include protein in each meal - Add an egg to breakfast, protein on that #salad at lunch, or grab yogurt as a snack! Aim to include healthy #fats in each meal - avocados anyone?? Eat veggies + #fruit every day (at least 2 servings of each) - Keep frozen veggies in the freezer for a simple side. Apples and bananas are a no fuss easy snack on the go! Eat more nutrient-dense, whole foods (add whole grains) - more #potatoes and rice, less breads and white pasta. Have you tried chickpea pasta yet?! Eat less processed foods + sugar, drink less alcohol - Start with one meal or snack per day that doesn't have any added sugar, then work your way up from there! Drink more #water - you know its true! Aim to drink half you body weight in ounces, per day! These are the simple steps that I use to help my clients live a healthy lifestyle. It does not have to be about restriction, it can be about adding MORE healthy things to your current lifestyle! Need some help or don't know where to start? Send me a message and I'd be glad to help! #healthcoach #registerednurse #healthylifesyle #betterchoices #lessisntalwaysbest #eatsomethinggreen @kaydeekellyphotography 
Too many things to do. And too little time. I think we ALL need help in this department. As a mom. Wife. Nurse. Business owner. Coach. Friend. And now vet tech. 🤣 I can fall into this viscous cycle of feeling overwhelmed or getting bogged down in the “busy” tasks. Where I see this the most is with those who are starting their fitness journey! I LOVE the excitement and the energy you have to “do all the things” day one or week one. But what happens after that week? You are BURNT OUT. Overwhelmed by the thought of having to do all of this again and again and again. I’m here to tell you there’s a better way. As a coach, I help my clients FOCUS. Focusing their energy into the tasks that are going to give them the biggest bang for their buck. AND GUESS WHAT. THE ANSWER IS NOT THE TREADMILL. When i first talk to my clients, i have them focus on 3 things. Water Movement Nutrition These are the healthy habits and routines that we develop that will set us up for LIFE. Movement comes in the forms of taking breaks from your desk. Walking to the mailbox. Parking farther away. Walking your dog. Looking for movement throughout the day helps lower stress and anxiety, but most of all, it allows us time to THINK and FOCUS. How are you getting in movement today? #moveyourbody #movementovercardio #NEAT #focus #onlinecoach #personaltrainer #nurse #healthcoach
