Hello friends!
I’m happy you stopped by to see what I ate this past week. I think it’s important for you to see how Nicole and I eat, as we truly lead the ‘real girls approach to a badass body’. We don’t diet, we don’t eat perfect, but we do make a conscientious effort every day to fuel our bodies with lots of nutrient dense food. Too many women grossly underestimate how many calories they should have every day, and if you saw my journal several years ago it would have been riddled with white fish, low fat cottage cheese, diet pop, and protein shakes. I barely ate….but I was close to 20lbs heavier and not healthy. For those of you that workout hard and try to calorie count down to the ounce….I hope this inspires you to eat more ;)
My Eating Goals
- Eat when hungry (aiming for every 3-4 hours)
- Eat until satisfied, always listen to body (absolutely no restricting calories)
- Eat real whole foods
- Eat high calorie foods to compensate for breastfeeding and activity level
Notes
- Every morning I take a thyroid pill and can’t eat for 30-60 minutes
- Since having Rowynne I’ve been waking up nauseous so having the green juice and lemon water later in the day has become my new norm instead of first thing in the morning. Will return to this!
- Every day I drink 2+ liters of water as well as 1-2 teas (black)
- Clearly I’m addicted to chocolate/dessert since having Rowynne so I’m giving in to this in healthy ways each and every day
