Check out www.FlatAbsAfterBaby.comSo I usually like to keep around protein powder that is super easy and,  green powder, so that I know that at least I'm getting some extra nutrients in there. I always liked to have some yogurt laying around so that I can make a yogurt parfait, put some nuts on there. A little bit of cinnamon, put some berries in there and get pretty creative.And I do that also with oatmeal too. So if I I've got nothing in the house, I always. Little, instant oatmeal packets, I'll throw a little bit of flax seed in there. Hemp seeds, whatever you can go crazy with toppings. I will put it in coconut and just about everything also.I always like to have a, pre-made like salad in the fridge or some soup in the fridge. And that is super easy. when you're at home just to heat up and go  but when it comes to just snacks that I keep around, I usually have,  a nut mix around apples and peanut butter are also always delicious. I have a favorite bar that I like and having a good nutritionally, balanced energy bar is always a must to have around in a bag. It just travels so well. I love to have, fruits.   Like those little oranges, super easy to carry around, I don't like to carry bananas around cause they always have.Black and disgusting. So I'm not really a travel with a banana type person. Although I have seen on Amazon, there is this little banana carry case to keep your banana from bruising. So, um, I haven't bought one of those yet. Let me know if you have one. I can't imagine like whipping that out,somewhere, , like a doctor's office  I also like to make on a weekly basis, some chia pudding, which is just some liquid and chia, and it starts to make this like gelatinous little paste and you can add different flavors and things in there. , you can make a chocolatey, you can make it more fruity.You can make  like peanut colada style, so you can really go crazy with Chico. And then also a nice, quick snack that I use sometimes before workouts for energy is just dates. And I'll put a little bit of coconut oil on the dates and that'll give me some sustainable,  energy for when I do more of a cardio workout.I love having some veggies and hummus around.  I like making it a mom may ahead of time and then just having it in a little, baggy . So I can just snack on that. It actually takes pretty well. And then I like making sweet potato chips. So I just cut up sweet potatoes.I put them in my AirFryer and they make amazing little chips. Sometimes I'll put some seasoning on it. Um, all lives are also really good and they do have some olives and different travel packs. These days I've seen sort of like keeping some olives around, And then I like having all the Kado on something like rock crackers or ride toast.That is something that is like a little mini treat, especially if he put some seasoning on it. It's almost like I'm having a little pile of guacamole, also myself. So those are a couple of ideas and I'd love to hear what your favorite. We're on the go snacks are, um, a couple of other ideas that popped into my mind is I like to make little energy balls.

QUITTER'S DAY PART OF YOUR HOLIDAY TRADITIONS?One “holiday” you don't want to celebrateWe're closing in on a big date … It's January 19 – aka “quitter's day.” The company that runs Strava (a fitness tracking app) says that's the day by which most people who set New Year fitness and fitness goals end up quitting.You do NOT have to be one of those people!In this episode of The Strong Moms Fitness Podcast,  I'm going to talk about the #1 REASON PEOPLE QUIT THEIR GOALS.It's because:They didn't have a plan for when they slipped up.And by slip up, I mean when they missed a workout, ate foods they weren't “supposed to eat,” stayed up too late, or somehow “failed” to follow through with their plan.Fact: Everyone slips up from time to time! (EVERYONE.) Knowing ahead of time what to do AFTER it happens goes a long way toward making sure that one slip-up doesn't turn into two or twenty.A solid post-slipup plan will help you: Recognize WHY it happenedRe-evaluate your process to see if it needs to be changedGet back on-plan ASAPHere's what I'm talking about:Let's say it's a Thursday night and you're been doing GREAT all week … but as you are finishing up work for the day, all you want is to get some takeout and veg in front of the TV instead of getting in your workout.So that's what you do.And you feel a little guilt after, right? It's time to give up! Wrong!What if instead, you took a second to figure out WHY you didn't follow your plan: i.e., “My willpower was low because I had a long, stressful day at work, plus I was tired. I've been going hard all week.”And then once you realized the “why,” you reevaluated. Maybe you need to:Add a rest day to your week,Keep a healthy ready-to-go meal at home, and/orHave a short and fun “off day” workout on standby with your favorite stress-busting exercises.Then, the next day, it's time to get back on track, with your contingency plan in place.Now instead of the guilt, you feel EMPOWERED because you're bulletproofing your plan. Your fitness & wellness journey is a PROCESS. What it looks like changes over time with the seasons, your schedule, your life, and your goals.This is a BIG area we focus on with our moms – because the fact is, these are the moments having a COACH can be make-or-break for your goals! In fact, it's one of the main reasons WHY people hire coaches in the first place.An experienced coach can help you see the bigger picture and come up with solutions to keep you on track and moving FORWARD.WEBSITE | INSTAGRAM | FACEBOOK | PINTEREST | YOUTUBEDaisy's Links:Join The Strong Moms Fitness Facebook Group Now!Check Out Strong Moms Fitness ProgramsFlat Abs After Baby - Ebook & 12-Week Ab ProgramFit After Pregnancy ChallengeRebuild After Baby: Get back to the gym after baby the right way!

Welcome to 2022! If you're not already feeling FIRED UP for SUCCESS … this mini mindset exercise will help you get there. (And if you are, it will take it to the next level!)Chances are you've set quite a few goals in the past. Just the fact that you're on my email list is a pretty good hint that you're focused and goal-oriented.Well today, we're going to crank that up a bit.In an exercise is straight out of my 2022 Goal-Getting & Habit Stacking Action Plan (get your copy here:   https://www.dropbox.com/s/slm5ai5u47rpufr/2022%20Goal%20Setting%20Habit%20Stacking%20Ebook.pdf?dl=0What if this year, we expanded the idea of “goals” into something even BIGGER – a vision of SUCCESS. Think about what would make 2022 a successful year for you.What would you look back on in amazement, pride, and excitement? I'm not just talking about health & fitness goals (though those are incredibly important)… I'm talking about ALL ASPECTS of your life – career, family, social network, spiritual connection, etc.What would you look back on and think, “Wow, look at what I did!”?You know you're on the right track with your “success vision” when you: 1) Feel yourself start to smile and/or 2) Get some butterflies in your stomachAnd here's where the rubber meets the road….It's time to live “AS IF” you've already reached that success.What would your day look like today if you ALREADY achieved that success? What daily habits you would have picked up along the way? It's time to start DOING THEM now – to adopt the habits of that future version of yourself. This is one of the most sure-fire ways to turn your goals into reality – it helps you learn and build the skills, habits, and mindset that will support your vision of success.And even more importantly, it helps you create LIFESTYLE change where this “new way of living” becomes almost automatic. 

I'm coming on today with a breakdown of what can be expected for 2022 from Strong Moms Fitness and the Strong Moms Fitness Podcast, because we'll be having a few changes from, 2021 to 2022.

The Top 5 Things Moms Need To Know Before Starting Breastfeeding So my top five quick tips, I think for me we've talked a lot about bonding. And so with that comes breastfeeding mindset. I think that it's so important. I work with moms who know that they want to breastfeed.And so when they go into it, they know, okay, this is exactly what I want to do. And they sorry, I totally lost my train of thought. Okay. Back to breastfeeding mindset, I'll get it. Anyways, so I work with moms, who know that they want to breastfeed. And so going into that, they have essentially.Breastfeeding mindset. And so they know that they can reach out for support and they can get help and they don't quit on their worst day. I think that's so important. So that's tip number one is just having a growth, breastfeeding mindset. I would say. Tip number two, goes along with tip. Number one.Is that getting that breastfeeding support? It's never too early. It's also not too late, but December too early to go ahead and get that support in the prenatal period is most ideal. But as soon as you are having, let's say you've had baby soon as you are having struggles and pain and difficulty to go ahead and reach out and get that.Don't sit at home and struggle by yourself. There, there is support out there that can help you. This third tip is amazing and I so wish I was the inventor of this, but I'm not. So I'm going to recommend it. It's called a Hakka. Depending on how you want to say, it's just a little silicone pump and it catches in the early weeks.It catches the letdown. So use you suction it to one breast while baby's feeding on the other breast and whatever is letting down from, from the breast that baby's not feeding on, it will catch it. You can strip freeze it up in your bags and you'll have, the initial, stash of breast milk.That is tip number three, I would say tip number four and. Th these two things will go hand in hand, would be getting those gel nursing pads by Nadella and just put them in the freezer to help with nipple soreness. And, oh, it feels so good in those first couple of weeks with that. And just, with that just minor soreness.And then on top of that, if you're having a lot of leaking instead of walking around with huge breastmilk stains all over you for the day just gets reusable nursing pads, and you can put the gel nursing pads and then put the reusable ones on top of that. And. I would say my last tip is there are so many myths floating around on the internet and on social media, I would make sure that when you read something you think about is this going to work for me?And. Does this even make sense? And if it doesn't make sense, run it by your lactation counselor or your lactation consultant and get their professional opinion about it so that you can make the best decision for you.

How to Stay on Track with Diet & Exercise During the Holiday SeasonHow do you stay on track with diet and exercise during the holiday season?  Check out my 6 tips for navigating the holiday season without sabotaging your health and fitness gains that you have worked so hard to achieve this past year.  Now, I don't know about you, but I am really struggling these last few weeks of 2021. Feel like I'm dragging my feet. I'm tired. Cranky. I feel like it's just been such a struggle. This past year and I just want 20, 21 to be over. And so I'm doing my best for these last few weeks to. Together to make sure that whatever gains and benefits and things that I've worked for this whole year are not completely lost during the holidays. So I don't know if you can relate to me or not. If you just feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and just. Done with this year. But I want you to hopefully make a pact with me. That for the last couple of weeks of December, we do. Our best not to sabotage our wins or our gains, or to set ourselves back or just to give ourselves an excuse to just go balls to the wall, forget things like our diet and nutrition, just because it is holiday time. So I know that. You're going to need to indulge a little bit. I know that things are going to look much different for you during your holiday season, whether you are. At home, whether you are traveling to visit family. Maybe you're on a vacation somewhere. But. Because of that. We don't want everything to crash and burn during these last couple of weeks and use this as a time to binge and forget. And just go crazy. So I put together a list of six things and keep it in mind as you go about the rest of December and as you go through the holidays to ensure that you're staying on track and not letting everything get away from you.

Do you stand in front of the mirror in nothing but your socks, taking mental note of every stretch mark, tummy bulge, lack of muscle tone, scars ….yup, your list of dislikes seems to take control over you.  Perhaps you are just like me and do not even recognize yourself in the mirror and most of the time what you see makes you sick to your stomach.You are not alone, after giving birth many women feel uncomfortable in their postpartum body.  It looks different, feels different, and doesn't work quite like it used to.  This can be especially difficult for an athlete or athletic person to accept.  Being an athlete you have dedicated your life to changing and manipulating your body to reach desired outcomes. It is amazing how nine months of pregnancy, labor, and delivery can drastically change all that you have worked for.  Today I am going to go into detail about factors that can affect how you feel about your body and the 12 powerful steps you can take to love your PREGNANT OR POSTPARTUM body.

 What are your top five things that we should do every day, to make us just a little bit healthier? Number one is sleep. Every one of us don't sleep enough and it's the older I become the harder it is for me to sleep. So I really have to adjust my sleep and get that to work water. It's huge in my book, it's 30 ounces in the morning and 30 ounces in the afternoon, regardless of what else you drink every day that has to happen, just has to be.So sleep first water. Second, be honest with your food consumption. If it's coming out of a bag or a box it's probably not good for you. How could you figure out your life that you're not using processed food and eating out a bunch hard to do? Are you moving your body? So are you really moving your body?So can you park at the end of the parking lot? When you walk into work, can you figure out ways to add five and 10 minutes more exercise in your day by just adjusting what you do during this? Wonderful. If you can do the most important thing, can you honestly tell yourself I did the best I could, and is it really, am I making excuses?So I don't want to check out today. I don't want to get drunk and say, I'm going to get drunk and just eat a bunch of m&ms because I've now miserable. So I want to be honest with who I am. I'm going to fail as a human being. It's what we do. How do I make myself better? So I don't feel like that to me.

So today is my first Friday quick tip and I have  guest buzz,  Herschel Peddicord. And. If you had not listened to my interview with him the other day, we  chatted about his medical device that he created to help with things like urinary incontinence and strengthening the pelvic floor.And I wanted him to go in and explain a quick. For anyone that is struggling with issues with incontinence. When we start a workout plan, we don't just work out. we take supplements, we drink a lot of water.  Get a lot of sleep. So my question for bonds for today's. Was alluding to how to in conjunction with his product that he has created, what supplemental things  can we do, especially as a new moms that are complementary to using his products that can help solve and increase our chances of improving urinary incontinence.So here's, Buzz's quick tip for.you know, five or six times a night, because your wider says you got a gun. It ain't open.You give me some money and sleep is a big factor in our daily. I know if I miss a few hours sleep during the night, my next name kind of Rocky and grouchy emphasis. Some grouchy getting good sleep, eat nutritious. I love Coca-Cola. And I've cut back to where him have one seven ounce Keela. Is this just not good for you?I mean, if you've got incontinence ADR, actually your annotates, the bladder irritates the ureter and makes the situation worse. And even a citric do use slang, orange juice and grapefruit juice. Anything that has acidity to it is going to irritate the bladder and the urethra. Thank you. I have to go.
