115. Food Timing and Workouts: What Really Matters for Your Fitness Goals

I’m fresh from celebrating my 43rd birthday + my daughter's graduation and party; honestly, there were sooo many celebrations during the month of May! It has been a LOT, and I’m finally coming down from the ‘high’ of all of it. Even with everything that’s been going on in my world lately, I’ve learned that it’s STILL possible to make progress toward (or at the very least, maintain) your fitness goals! I thought this episode would be the perfect time to address a couple of questions I received regarding food timing + hunger cues, as well as what types of workouts are best to do. I hate to break it to ya, but there’s NEVER going to be a ‘perfect’ time to start something new - whether it’s with your fitness, nutrition, or something else. You have to be willing to start messy, go slow, and get help where you need to. Perfection is not possible, and it’s not achievable - you shouldn’t be striving for that with your nutrition and fitness. No matter how jam-packed your schedule is, you should be able to navigate all of those ‘‘holy shit’ and ‘what if’ moments that life throws at you, and not feel like you’re going to completely fall apart. Ultimately, I want to help you unf*ck your fitness so you CAN make progress, and have some fun along the way, too!! In this episode, we cover: Knowing that while life has seasons, there will NEVER be a ‘perfect’ time to start something new, and we all have our own sh*t going on Getting your foundations solid and in place first before worrying about all of the little details Understanding that there is a certain amount of food/macros that your particular body needs + why you need to be eating close to that amount consistently Finding an eating schedule with your meals and snacks that works best for YOU and your daily life Listening to your body when it comes to eating before and after your workout + why your hunger cues are super important Why the types of workouts you’re doing matter more than you may think + what to do when it seems like you’re growing muscle too quickly How to work with me: FIT CLUB is a monthly membership with workouts designed to take the guesswork out of your fitness routine and get you the body you want.
