Fitness 360: Inside Diary of a Fit Mommy's Supplements, Diet,andTraining!

I often get asked about 3 main things: my supplements, my diet, and my training. Here is everything about me regarding fitness-what I like to eat, the vitamins I take, and the workouts that I do on which days!

Please know this isn't a guide to what you should do-this is personally what I am doing these days.


SUPPLEMENTS

When it comes to supplementation, I honestly do not rely on using much. There are so many supplements out there that it can be super overwhelming to even begin and figuring out which ones you may need. 

If you are looking into supplements, it is super important to find the right ones for you. 

I personally love MRM & Labrada products as I am sponsored by both nutritonal companies. However, I am not saying that because I am forced to-I am not forced to like anything! I absolutely LOVE different things that each product company has to offer so it is a dream to be able to be a part of each.



On a daily basis, I use the following:
Whey Protein Powder: MRM Natural Whey or MRM Fruit-n-Whey- 1 scoop (safe for breastfeeding)
Fish Oil: MRM Smart Blend
Multi-vitamin: Labrada Lean Body for Her Food Based Multi-Vitamin (order here)
Hair, Skin, Nails Supplement: MRM Biotin 5mg

On workout days, I add the following two:
Pre-workout: MRM's DRIVEN-1 scoop
Post-workout: MRM's BCAA's + G RELOAD- 3 scoops
Bedtime snack: Labrada Lean Body for Her Peanut Protein- 2 scoops (order here)

For all MRM products click here and you can use my personal discount to take 40% off of your entire purchasing by using code 'SIA' at checkout.

***Please note: I am given the clear by my doctor to take these. I am still nursing, but I am not exclusively breastfeeding at this time.***

DIET

Diet plays such an important role in health & fitness. Most people often overlook diet in the popular myth that working out allows you to eat whatever you want, whenever you want. But as I always love to tell my clients-you CANNOT and WILL NOT out train a bad diet.

Since I stopped counting calories and started counting my macronutrients, my body changed-I lost more body fat, gained more muscle, and I looked better overall.

I usually eat 6 meals per day (at least 5) to help keep my metabolism burning and my appetite controlled.

And YES.. you read correcly.. I have two cups of coffee every single day. Period.

Meal #1:
  • 2 cups Coffee with REAL creamer
  • Oatmeal Banana Pancakes with 1 tsp. REAL butter and 1 tsp. pure maple syrup
  • 2 boiled eggs
Meal #2:
  • 1 scoop MRM natural whey protein powder
  • 8 oz. unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • Blueberries
  • Almonds
Meal #3:
  • 1 baked chicken breast, skinless
  • 1/2 cup brown rice
  • Unlimited steamed green beans (salt, pepper, garlic powder)
Meal #4:
  • 2 oz. sharp cheddar cheese 
  • 10 multigrain crackers
  • 1/2 avocado (sprinkled with lime juice, salt, pepper, and garlic powder)
OR
  • 1 Nature's Path Qi'a Superfood Snack Bar (my favorite is the bluberry/cashew/pumpkin!) I love these bars-they are organic and gluten free. They also have a decent amount of protein in them, very surprisingly!
  • 2 oz. beef jerky


Meal #5: 
  • 2 Tilapia filets with lemon juice (salt, pepper)
  • 1 medium sweet potato
  • Unlimited asparagus or broccoli.
Meal #6:
  • 1/2 cup REAL Greek yogurt 
  • 1 tsp raw honey
  • 1/4 cup granola
OR
  • Lean Body For Her Peanut Protein- 2 scoops
  • 8 oz. unsweetened vanilla almond milk

TRAINING
My training isn't 100% perfect-sometimes I miss a workout due to being a mommy, but I always try my best to aim for 5 days per week.

I will also change it up from time to time and switch out a day with sports, mommy/baby workouts, or even a day at the beach!
