We love celebrating our client’s success stories and today we celebrate you Rebecca! Rebecca started her journey with me on January 6, 2020. To date, she has lost a total of 31 lbs!!!! It wasn’t always easy, there were many ups and downs thanks to Covid-19 and the stresses that came with that - both personally and professionally for Rebecca. But she has had amazing success because of her not giving up attitude! We dealt with setbacks together and also celebrated successes! Congrats Rebecca! - 🧡Coach Kelly
Here is what Rebecca had to say:

Sorry In advance for the long post but I am just so happy!!! So...I started my journey on January 6th. My goal was to be in the best shape of my life by my 40th birthday. Joined a new gym with my best friend, began working with my amazing macro coach and was feeling great! Then Covid hit, gyms shut down, I was sad, and everything came to a screeching halt! All my hard work down the tubes. So from March 17th until May 18th I pretty much did nothing. Then on May 19th I woke up and said enough is enough. I reached out to my macro coach and said “I’m ready to commit!” And that was that. I started tracking macros again, running every single day, doing driveway workouts, etc. The weight was just dropping off! Then on August 9th I injured my leg which prevented me from running long distance. So I decided to continue walking every day, build my own mini gym with other cardio options, working out at home and keep on tracking macros. I wasn’t losing anymore weight but maintaining. Well....finally that has changed and I am happy to say I’ve lost 31 pounds. I have 3 more months until my 40th birthday and plan on reaching that goal of being fabulous at 40!!! Thank you to those who have helped keep me on track and continue to be my daily motivation!!! I feel better than I have in a VERY long time!!!

Hi Kelly here - I am excited to share that I have achieved another level of certification through AFPA American Fitness Professionals & Associates in Youth and Adolescent Nutrition with a focus on Sports Performance. I learned so much in this course that I am excited to share with local athletes and teams in the future. Nutrition for children and adolescents is specific and different than adults. Their bodies aren’t mature yet so they process macronutrients in a different way and sometimes less efficient way. Understanding how to properly fuel your young athlete will allow them to meet the demands of growth and puberty, see less injuries, achieve gains in performance, fuel in the correct way for the demands of their sport and hydrate properly. Best of all, it will set them up for a healthy adulthood with strong bones, healthy eating habits and body image.

“Participation in youth sports is growing by leaps and bounds but unfortunately good nutrition is too often sidelined by a lack of sports nutrition guidance for young athletes, including a lack of age - appropriate information, inappropriate food offerings on the field, poor eating habits, the time limitations of parents, and much more. It’s not easy to pull out your secret weapon - solid nutrition- and gain the edge in competition. “

I hope to help change that by developing a simplified approach for families to follow. We invest in the training, the gear, the travel, it’s time to invest in our kids nutrition!

Did you know that most kids are actually under-fueled for sports? This can lead to a dangerous health situation for them which can interfere with growth, puberty, bone health and can even lead to vitamin and mineral deficiencies. On the flip side, many young athletes are eating diets too high in saturated fat and sugar. This creation of nutritional deficits or excess is robbing kids of their true athletic potential. But, an energetic, focused, fueled athlete on a solid nutrition plan can launch to a new level of performance.
Bottom line, adult nutrition is not the same as youth nutrition. As a parent do you want to know more on how to properly fuel your young athlete for health and performance? Are you frustrated by the lack of available information on this topic? I would love to hear your thoughts.

Today was an all-day tournament for us and I was not about to depend on the chicken nuggets, french fries, candy, soft pretzels and chips offered by the food stand to make sure Sofia was properly fueled. Instead, I packed a cooler of quick grab items that provided hydration, simple & complex carbs, protein and healthy fat. I knew what to pack so it didn’t take much time. Would you like competition day food ideas for your athlete? . *referencing: “Eat Like a Champion” Jill Castle MS, RDN, CDN @ United Sports

for me today meant comfy clothes, football, a relaxing afternoon with my family & macro prep! I set myself up with some time-saving basics to make my busy weekdays a little easier.

I prepped two proteins:

1. Grilled chicken breast
2. The Macro Gym ground chicken meatballs.

I also prepped healthy carbs:
1. I cooked & stored rice;
2. I weighed (30 g) and bagged my pre-workout oatmeal;
3. I roasted & stored a spaghetti squash.
4. I washed and cut my veggies for snacks and meals. Including red bell peppers, cucumbers and broccoli.

This week I also pre-measured the dry ingredients for my post-workout protein smoothie so now I eliminated multiple steps, can just add ice and almond milk and it’s ready to drink!!

It feels great to go into the week prepared and ready! Did you meal prep today? What are your go-to’s that you like to prep?

I woke up this morning with the first signs of a cold 🤒 so I decided to make my first meal of the day one that was packed full of micronutrients - because food is medicine to the body! As many of you know, we love the quality of Legion Athletics whey protein and I used it here. You can substitute for your favorite protein. The pumpkin gives this just the right amount of sweetness. It’s really yummy! 😋

Liza Davadilla
Liza started working with the Macro Gym & Coach at the end of April. Liza is a mom, restaurant owner, and nurse. But her busy lifestyle doesn’t stop her from reaching her goals. She wasn’t really sure what number she wanted to see on the scale but she knew she wanted to dial in her nutrition and get stronger while training at Liza has been the model client. She hits her targets each week and has learned how to balance the foods that she enjoys at the same time. Being a coach at , It has been amazing being able to watch her grow in strength in her workouts as well. Liza is down 12.5 lbs and has lost 3 inches in her waist💪🏻 I am excited to keep working with Liza as she continues to chip away at her goals. Here is what Liza has to say:

I started my fitness journey in 2015. Over the years I joined a few different HIIT workout groups. Although I never really followed any special diet plan, I was somehow mindful of what I eat. Basically cutting down on carbs and eating in moderation. I felt I was doing it right. Then The Macro Gym came along. I like the concept and gave it a go. And here I am 12 weeks after, leaner and stronger! I never thought I would get rid of my stubborn muffin top and cellulite (sorry TMI). If they say “clothes fit better when you workout”, hell yeah they do and it’s much better when I counted macros! Pre-macro counting, I felt stuck with the weights I’ve been lifting and I almost always feel sore days after working out. Now, I continue to challenge myself to scale up. I’m able to do a no assist pull up!I feel stronger and have more endurance during workouts. It’s not an easy process but great coaches and trainers helped me through it. This is the most rewarding program and I’m excited to see where it takes me.
