“Should I eat less on rest days?” Whether you’ve been nutrition coaching for years or you’re just getting started, you’ve probably gotten this question before.

I started this challenge 100% for myself. I was finding myself out of integrity in the ways that I was approaching my nutrition. Often overindulging in social scenarios, committing to new things only to quit shortly after and giving in to temptations. Less about the way I looked and more about how I felt and how I was treating myself.

Day 49/60 complete. I was listening to the Joe Rogan podcast this week and he mentioned a quote that really struck me. He was talking with Dr. Rhonda Patrick about health and fitness and how most people have a really hard time with discipline and compliance over time. He then said: “It’s like building a mountain one layer of paint at a time.”

Day 42/60 down. In terms of consistency and compliance, I had my best week yet. YAY! Finally!

Insta Idea: This could be a fine one for a pic if it works on the feed! Otherwise, pull from the bulleted list:) Maybe one image with circles for each thing vs. a swipe just to switch it up?!

As a nutrition coach, you will work with many different types of people. Some clients will be super engaged and communicative while others would prefer you take the lead. Some will follow your suggestions to a T well while others will need more encouragement. You may even come across clients who will want you to help them with alternatives to macro tracking.

Integrity is one of my highest values - to me that means I honor my word and do the things I say I will do. Since Shai was born I was consistently out of integrity with myself when it came to my nutrition. Over and over again I would start something new and within a week have a “screw it” moment where I overate, convincing myself I could just start the next day. Super cliche, I know.

One month into this challenge and I am really happy with how this is going so far. It is clear there have been a number of obstacles and bumps in the road but I am still showing up, trying new things, and learning a lot about myself.

Just over a third of the way there! I am back from Florida and boy do I have a story for you.

Last week I was notified about our comment function not working here - apparently, there is a bug in the Facebook commenting plugin and they don’t intend on fixing it! So we switched to Disqus. It should work now. :)

Your time is precious and so is your health but do you ever feel like the demands on your time are standing in the way of your nutritional success? Do you find yourself asking, “how do I plan ahead?” and feel overwhelmed with a long list of new ideas and recipes to implement? Abraham Lincoln said it best: “Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the ax.”   A successful nutritional plan requires the same mindset.

If you have ever followed me you may have realized that I haven’t been on social media these days. After giving birth to my baby boy Shai 1 year ago I reached a new level of needing to be efficient with my time and scrolling through my explore feed on Instagram wasn’t making the cut.
