Tuesday's speed workout was an experiment of sorts on the treadmill. I know I can run hills outside but I've never attempted it indoors. I warmed up with about a half mile run then went straight into a 4% incline for 5 minutes straight. I did that a few times for 2 minutes spurts (I think about 10 but I lost count) over the 4 miles and ended with the 6% grade to challenge myself. Gonna have to incorporate these a bit more during my workouts since we don't have a ton of elevation around here. Great to get my climbing legs into shape! 😄
Food is fuel 💪 When we eat good, we feel good. 🍎 Picture colorful veggies and fruits, hearty grains, and protein on your plate, giving you energy and helping you shine from the inside out! ✨️ Take a moment to savor each bite and nourish your body with goodness. 🍓 👉 Follow @sunny_happy_selfcare for recipes and ways to add good foods to your self-care routine. #foodisfuelforthebody #selfcareis #eatwelllivewell #eattherainbow #selfcaretips2024
New preworkout flavor AND a clean source of iron? Yes please! 🖤💙🖤💙🖤 @bowmar_nutrition You've done it again!
I love a big ass salad. No lie. The absolute best way to get in a ton of veggies, protein of your choice and tons of topping combinations. I haven't made my own dressing in awhile but this one was pretty amazing plus I got the extra bit of protein from the Greek yogurt which doesn't hurt. 🤤
Still hitting a three day lift/four day run split and it's going amazingly well. I'm making sure to eat enough and prioritizing protein first and it's made a difference. I'm getting thru my speed and hill workouts without dying and weights are getting heavier in the gym. Win win all around and I'm loving the journey. 🖤
These look a mess but they were really good and I inhaled them once they were done. I didn't have enough shrimp for two tacos, so I made some Cuban style black beans (cumin, onion, chili powder, a little cayenne pepper and jalapeno juice). I had some low carb high fiber tortillas also and those worked out great since I was out of my own. 🖤
I almost gave up on myself. 😔 I almost threw in the towel on my health because…I was a mom. I almost gave myself the excuse, “Why try? You want to have more kids!?” 🤷🏻♀️ I almost used that as my excuse, but decided to use it as my reason. 🙌🏼 Mamas, we deserve to feel our best in every stage of motherhood. I’m so thankful I decided after Fletcher to turn my health around. I’m a better, more joyous mama because of the growth physically and mentally I’ve experienced with the help of my coach, this community and this program. 🫶🏼 I got out of my own way. Motherhood is not easy regardless, but it’s a heck of a lot harder when you feel alone, self conscious, tired and hopeless. You don’t have to feel that way. I’m here for you. 🩷 #healthymoms #foodisfuelforthebody #accountabilitycoach #transformationcoach #transformyourmind
Greek-ish pasta salad for the win! One of my favorite ways to keep things interesting when it comes to food is to not only eat through the rainbow but just a simple change of the shape of your pasta gives your food a different appearance and that is sometimes enough to keep things simple but still create enough change to keep it from being “boring” Remember, #foodisfuelforthebody . #thebarefoottrainerlady #healthcoach #lifecoach
I was looking for an alternative to bread.

I wish someone told me these things when I first started going to the gym... 👉 Swipe through for all my tips and save them for later! Let's rewind to when I first decided to ditch the endless cardio and dive headfirst into the world of strength training. I remember feeling terrified, **cue the nervous sweats and self-doubt!**😅 but my gym had a "women's room" where I felt safer learning how to lift weights. Honestly, it was a mixed bag of emotions. Don't get me wrong, it had its perks—supportive vibes and all—but deep down, I was itching to tackle those big weights on the main floor. Eventually I craved the challenge of squat racks, heavy leg presses, and deadlifts. So, one day, I got enough guts to go to the main weights section and approached the squat rack, despite my nerves. 🏋️♂️ I had watched COUNTLESS tutorial videos, but when it came time to execute, I royally messed up the squats. I think I did a few reps, but felt SO EMBARRASSED and like everyone was watching me. I left the gym immediately, cried in my car and let the self-doubt take over... 😰 Were the other women out in the main area judging me? 😰 Were those who knew what they are doing judging me? 😰 Why should I be in that area? I dont know what I am doing? But I refused to give up. I knew that nothing changes if nothing changes and I WANTED TO CHANGE. 💪 So, to keep the long story short, I continued to show up. I pushed through the discomfort, the mistakes, the moments of doubt, and then created this list of tips to help myself and anyone else out there! To anyone feeling anxious about stepping into the gym or trying something new: remember that growth begins at the edge of your comfort zone. Embrace the challenge, believe in yourself, and never underestimate your own potential. 💛 📌 Save this for when you need a confidence boost in the gym! ⬇️ Share your favorite tip below!
Bad weather on Friday and Saturday prevented me from doing my long run outside. But thanks to my little treadmill in my bedroom, I got it done. It was squeaky, the belt skipped a bit if I went any faster than 5.6 and the safety magnet is missing on it, but it did the trick! 🤣 (I also threw my hair up in little space buns and doubted they would stay. They ended up remaining in place my entire run and it was nice not dealing with sweaty hair on the back of my neck. Also yay unintentional May the 4th hairdo!) 🖤
Been hitting eggs with avocado and turkey bacon for breakfast for awhile now. The bagel was added since I knew I had a run an hour later and those extra carbs are great running fuel. (Vanilla greek yogurt on the bagel as well which I forgot to add to the pic.) 🖤
100 miles for last month!

10 Compelling Reasons to Add More Fruits to Your Diet 🍎🍊🍇” 1. Rich in Vitamins and Minerals: Fruits are packed with essential vitamins and minerals that support overall health, including vitamin C, potassium, and folate. 2. High in Fiber: Most fruits are high in fiber, which aids digestion, promotes satiety, and helps regulate blood sugar levels. 3. Antioxidant Powerhouses: Fruits contain antioxidants like flavonoids and carotenoids, which help combat oxidative stress and protect cells from damage. 4. Hydration: Many fruits have high water content, contributing to hydration and supporting healthy skin and organs. 5. Low in Calories: Most fruits are naturally low in calories, making them a nutritious option for weight management. 6. Natural Source of Energy: The natural sugars in fruits provide a quick source of energy without the drawbacks of refined sugars. 7. Heart Health: Regular fruit consumption is associated with a reduced risk of heart disease due to their fiber and antioxidant content. 8. Supports Immune Function: Vitamin C-rich fruits like oranges and strawberries boost immune function and help fight off infections. 9. Gut Health: The fiber in fruits supports a healthy gut microbiome, which is crucial for digestion and overall health. 10. Low Insulin Response: Compared to processed foods and sugary snacks, fruits have a lower impact on blood sugar levels and insulin secretion. They are generally considered low-glycemic foods, requiring less insulin for metabolism. Incorporating a variety of fruits into your diet can provide a range of health benefits while satisfying your sweet tooth naturally. Remember to enjoy fruits as part of a balanced diet for optimal wellness! 🍎🍊 Join my group for other info like this Vegan do it Group VegaNowledge 🍇 #veganowledgeJJ #10fromJen #JJshealthhacks #vegan #fruitarian #frugivore #fruitlover #vegan #healthy #plantpowered #veganowledge #healthiswealth #fruits #rawvegan #plantbased #wholefoods #thebodyheals #foodisfuelforthebody #plantbaseddiet #insulinresistance #WFPB #wfpbdiet #veganowledgejj
I like these a bit toooooo much!! @eattrek biscoff trek power. A vegan hug in a bar and perfect snack for a rainy afternoon on the south coast. • My family were so traumatised by the damage we found to my Mums grave when we visited in March, that we decided to travel back there today to see if it had happened again. Glad to say, the flowers we put there in March are still there and her grave is in one piece. I am a big believer in karma, I will leave that there. I have two days off work now, walks, gym and good food... that is the plan. • • • • • #vegansnackshare #vegansnackideas #veganproteinbars #trekbars #dairyfreefoods #veganukgroup #veganfoodshares #plantbasedprotein #vegancommunity #foodisfuelforthebody #runnersfood #foodbloggeruk #veganrunners #veganrunnersuk #snacktime #vegansnacktime #metimemovement

90° outside on Tuesday and uv rays were really high, so I tested out this long sleeve sun hoodie. Its thin and spf 50+ rated. I was good till I got to around 3 miles but I ended up ducking into a park bathroom to soak the top bit of the hoodie. Cooled me off really well and I ended up at 41:02 for 4 miles. Not bad at all. 🙌🏼 PM was a heavy leg day, plus we even maxed out the lower back extension. I love when that happens. Good Tuesday indeed! 🖤

🌟 EASY PRE & POST WORKOUT SNACK FORMULA 🌟 Did you know that eating a specific combo of foods before and after your workouts can help you boost your performance AND recovery? It’s true. Here’s a quick formula for your ultimate pre-workout and post-workout snacks. 💪PRE WORKOUT 30-60 minutes before your workout, 3:1 ratio of carbs to protein Examples: ✅ 1 slice sprouted grain bread (carb) with a little sliced turkey (protein) ✅ ½ cup brown rice (carbs) with a bit of grilled chicken (protein) ✅ 1 medium apple (carbs) with a tablespoon of almond butter (protein & fat) 💪POST WORKOUT 30-45 minutes after your workout, 2:1 ratio of carbs to protein. Examples: ✅ Greek yogurt (protein) with a handful of berries (carbs) ✅ A smoothie with your favorite unsweetened low-fat milk, 1 cup of berries (carbs), and a scoop of protein (protein) ✅ 4 oz of salmon (protein) with ½ cup of sweet potatoes (carbs) When it comes to portion size, think “snack” before your workout and “moderate meal” afterward! Most important takeaway: eating a healthy balanced meal will fuel you up for a strong workout AND help you recover more quickly.

I like to toast my naan in a pan first, add toppings then stick it in the oven to melt my cheese. Not pictured is my giant salad I had on the side. 🤤
Monday's run workout was an easy paced first mile followed by three tempo miles at threshold then back to easy pace. Mile two went really well but once I hit around 3.5, I was struggling a bit. Managed to keep my pace up and pushed thru to the end tho! The afternoon saw a great upper body workout with my sister in a busy gym. We ended with a core workout before calling it a day. 🖤

Instead of less meals think more FUEL ⛽️ focus on including rather than restricting - including lean protein, fruit, veg and whole foods FOR YOUR HEALTH rather than taking things away 👏🏻 give yourself permission to eat foods you enjoy - stop with the ‘I’m going to make the most of tonight to enjoy my favourite stuff then ‘Get Back On It Tomorrow’ know that some days you will indulge and THAT IS OK the main thing is you get back on track, don’t turn that indulge into a binge spiral 😵💫 meal prepping is ya best friend - 9/10 if you have a healthy meal in the fridge ready you are less likely to order the takeaway or grab the ready meal from Tesco’s when you are stressed/short on time 🕰️ drink regularly, sleep well and exercise - these will regulate hormones, energy balance and reduce stress 💆🏻♀️ • • • • #eatwell #fitness #mondaymotivation #wellness #nutrition #lifestyle #instagood #gymmotivation #success #workout #gym #eattofuel #fitnessmotivation #goals #mindset #fit #training #foodisfuelforthebody #selfdevelopment #selflove #fitness #elitefitnesswithchloe #health #clients
Just under two hours for those 11 miles which is a new PR for me! Also the first time I've held and maintained a pace in the 10 minute range for that long so yay for that. Our treadmills only go for 99 minutes so I had to restart for the last two which is a pace killer but gives me a chance to breathe for a few seconds. I ended up using one gel, half a pack of @honeystinger chews, one 500 ml bottle of Tailwind and one bottle of water. Those squeezy bottles work great on the treadmill and it was hilarious seeing gym folk staring at me while I drank and ran. Didn't bother me any since I was binging The Walking Dead. 🤣🖤
Last Tuesday's group trail run was great even tho I got there late. The group was about ten minutes ahead of me but since I've run trail out there plenty of times, I did my own thing. I walked a bit with one of the women of our group when I caught up and chatted with her then took off down a separate road. I aimed for a faster pace down that road back to the car and I nailed that despite the hotter 90° temps. Starting to acclimate to that hot weather finally! 🖤
Increasing my red meat a little since I eat a ton of chicken and to help my iron stores a bit. It was time for a meal change up and this was super tasty. I'm pretty sure it took me longer to cook this than it did to eat. 🤤

This is my incredible winner from the Get It Girl Challenge, Julia is absolutely incredible. Julia said “Not only have I lost weight, but my body shape has changed and my mental health is so much better. I feel more positive and confident. I actually smile a lot more. I’m getting into clothes I haven’t been able to get into since 2018. I’m starting to love being me again. What has surprised me is the food that I can eat. Before this l’d try other diets but always failed after a couple of weeks because the food was just so boring! The KLF nutrition plan is so varied and exciting. Since joining KLF in September 2023, I have lost 37 Ibs in total (4.5lbs since the start of the Go Get it Girl challenge). I am absolutely thrilled to bits with this. I’ve lost 23” from my body which is an average of 10.5% in body fat.” Julia you are an incredibly deserving winner 🏆 so a huge well done to you, she’s going to be winning a learn your own face course from @bellabeaute____ , a styling session and hire from @hireuk_minniemaycloset, breathwork session with @reset_with_ruth plus a free 3 months subscription to the Girl Gang!

Don't fear carbohydrates! Carbs are the body's preferred and most efficient source of energy during exercise, especially high-intensity activities like sprinting or endurance events like marathons. They are converted into glucose, which fuels muscles and provides the energy needed to perform. Carbohydrates also helps to regulate blood sugar levels during exercise. Carbohydrates are stored in the muscles and liver as glycogen. Glycogen stores are essential for sustaining energy levels during prolonged exercise. Depleted glycogen levels can lead to fatigue and a decrease in performance. So making sure you consume carbohydrates before exercise helps top up glycogen stores, providing a readily available energy source for the muscles. This is particularly important if you are endurance athlete who engages in prolonged exercise. What about post-workout carbohydrates? Do you need them? Consuming carbohydrates post-exercise helps replenish glycogen stores and kick-starts the recovery process by promoting muscle repair and growth. You can try to pair carbs with protein post-workout so it can further enhance recovery and muscle protein synthesis. Carbs can be found in foods like grains, fruits and vegetables so there is plenty of different sources available. I hope this was helpful! #nutrition #sportsnutrition #sportnutritionist #carbohydrates #foodisfuelforthebody #balancedmeals #sportsuae #uaesports #activeliving
53° and humid but a good downtown run last Friday. The first half was a bog fest and my legs felt super heavy. I took a short cooling off/carb break when I hit 5 miles then headed out for the next 5 miles. Those went much better and I ended up finishing strong. 🖤

Food is fuel!! As much as i talk about wanting to lose weight i will never restrict myself from eating what i want when i want it!! 🫶🏻 #food #foodisfuel #foodisfuelforthebody

If you know me...you know that this sign couldn't be any more accurate...but some people think otherwise... Within our society, we can find unrealistic perceptions of what fueling ourselves with food looks like. Some think I don't eat that much due to my size. Then they are completely shocked when they see what I do consume and how much. I am always really clear about a few things regarding FOOD FUEL... 1. What you call it... I never associate feelings with food. Not GOOD or BAD food, but I rather use 'more nutritionally dense' and 'less nutritionally dense.' Both of which are consumed differently. 2. What you do with it... 1-2 palms or 3-4oz of protein (ie. Meat, fish, tofu) 1-2 fists or 1-2 cups of veggies 1-2 cupped handfuls or 100-130g of complex carbs (ie. grains, sweet potatoes) 1-2 thumbs or approx. 1 tbsp of healthy fats (ie. Olive oil, nuts, nut butter, avocado) *all info above for per meal* 2.5-3.5L water/day 3. How you consume it MINDFULLY. Without a device and paying attention to hunger cues such as fullness. (Working on this more and more for myself) The key to fueling yourself for FORM (ie. Weight management or muscle mass building goals) and FUNCTION (energy) is doing so safely and sustainably, not extremely and without consideration that societal norms require critical reflection. P.S. I was also waiting for a Breakfast Burrito to go with my smoothie in this pic 😉 #foodisfuelforthebody #foodismylovelanguage #eatwelllivewell #weightlossisajourney #hydrationisthekey #eatforhealth #eatwholefoods #eatandenjoy #healthylivingforyou #eatsustainably #mindfuleating

Nutrition doesn’t always look pretty.

What does “high fiber” mean? For a portion of food that provides 15 grams of total carbohydrates, if 5 or more of those carbohydrates are fibrous carbohydrates then it’s a high fiber food. Swipe left to see three different veggies that are considered high fiber veggies. Zucchini, broccoli and tomatoes. Now just because a veggie is a high fiber veggie doesn’t mean you will eat a large quantity of fiber in a particular serving size. A standard serving size of most vegetables 🥗 may only provide 1-2 grams of fiber. You may need to eat multiple servings of that vegetable to intake 5 or more grams of fiber as they are very high volume foods. In conclusion here, variety of veggies is important but it’s probably quite a challenge to hit your daily fiber goal by only focusing on veggies as your main source of fiber intake. #varietyiskey #foodvariety #foodisfuelforthebody #fiberfueled #fiberfood #fiberfix #fiberfoods #highfiber #highfiberdiet
Medjool date, walnut and cocoa energy balls, so good! I coated these with dark chocolate and topped them with chopped pistachios which is not necessary but makes them even better! I never follow recipes closely so the measurements were improvised 🙈 #healthylifestyle #energyballs #medjooldates #foodie #healthandwellbeing #wellbeing #nutrition #wellness #healthytreat #foodisfuelforthebody #selfcare #bekindtoyourself #selfloveclub #chocolatelover

Leave bulking and cutting to the bodybuilders and fuel for your sport 🏋️♀️ Bulking and cutting might sound like a good idea to improve body composition but it can negatively impact your performance. If you’re spending too much time in an energy deficit it will have negative impacts on your performance and this could negatively affect your training outcomes.

Be your own happiness ✨ Let go of what doesn’t serve you anymore- this can be bad habits, relationships, a job that doesn’t treat you well. This is of course easier said than done but when you start the process you will really see what’s important for you. Creating the good means making your own opportunities and changing your mindset to one of gratitude and growth. Being a person who creates beauty in life. This has been the biggest lesson I’ve been going through the last 6 months of my life and I have to say life is so much better. Allowing myself to really think about what my goals are what is helping me get there and what is holding me back has been a real game changer. And coincidentally it’s what led me to make this community! Guys let me know what’s something you’ve had to let go OR something good you’ve created for yourself ⬇️🤍 #healthiswealth #exploreoutside #bodymovement #alchemymovementcollective #foodisfuelforthebody #healthandwellness #drinkyourwater #wellnessjourney #movementcollective #selfcare #selfdevelopment #selflove #balance #balanceiskey #vancouver #getoutside #slowruns #learning #mindset #mindbodysoul #mindfulness #mindbodyspirit #dailyaffirmations #holistic #holistichealing #nourishyoursoul #growthmindset #dailymovement #vancouvermeetups #mindbodybalance
