CLIENT SPOTLIGHT: Showing up for herself and her kids

A very special Transformation Spotlight for our COO, Michelle, @meesh.ard, and her many successes. Here is what her journey has looked like navigating a very demanding career working for me with two young girls:

Michelle has always had a passion for health and fitness that has been cultivated by her 15 years of experience in the corporate fitness world. After having kids she found it difficult to create a new routine that allowed her to prioritize her health and fitness while also being the mother she strived to be! Michelle is a powerhouse; she gives her all to everything she sets her mind to and that is a big reason why Jacob Zemer LLC has excelled.

That is when she reached out to Elise @barbellsandfoodscience_, our Director of Coaching, to help her create a nutrition plan that worked with her current busy lifestyle as a mother, wife, and COO.

They really worked on tracking her intake accurately with the help of a food scale and creating simple and delicious meals that she could throw together quickly or make for the whole family! Michelle’s progressive programming, newfound nutrition approach, and discipline led to an outstanding transformation mind, body, and soul!

I might be in trouble after this… my girlfriend is definitely going to ☠️ me.

Plus, I’m breaking down my pantry staples, including quick-and-easy faves like Quest chips and PE Science protein powder for when I’m on the move.

If you’re looking to simplify your grocery list, this is your guide.

What do I think of Group Fitness?

What do I think about Group Fitness?

Something that is tailored specifically to you is always going to be superior to something that is completely generic to all people.

If you have money, spend it. What I mean by this is there are people out there (coaches, personal trainers) who are able to customize your programming. If you have the means to pay someone to listen to your goals and implement that into your training, DO IT.

Group Fitness is great for beginners, an excellent way to burn calories, make friends, develop a sense of community, and have additional accountability. But the fact of the matter is that everyone in that class is doing the same exact thing. Everyone has different goals with their physique, so this isn’t as effective as hiring someone to achieve your unique goals.

Specific results require specific training.

Review: Crisp Power protein pretzels

Product Review: @Crisp.Power Protein Pretzels🥨

💸COST: $20 for a 6-pack of the smaller bags. That’s around $3 a bag which I think is super reasonable for a protein product these days.

🍽️MACROS: 110 calories and 15g protein – so it passes The Protein Test.

🥬FIBER: The fiber is 6g per serving which we LOVE here. In addition to passing The Protein Test, we get 6g of fiber which will help you feel fuller for longer.

🤤TASTE: Crispy, savory, really good. It doesn’t taste exactly like a pretzel but this would definitely help fulfill the pretzel craving.

💭MY THOUGHTS: I would definitely recommend this if you’re a pretzel lover looking to find a protein and fiber-rich alternative. The cost isn’t outrageous and the macros are great. Do I think this tastes like a @Snyders_Hanover or @DotsPretzels? Not exactly – but I could sit down in front of the TV and eat these just as easily.

Favorite carb sources at Costco

We’re at @Costco looking at my favorite carbohydrate sources:

1️⃣ Berries – great source of fiber, loaded with antioxidants, and low in calories.

2️⃣ Black beans – 150 calories, 7g fiber, and 10g protein. These are a great way to feel full while dieting.

3️⃣ Potatoes – these have been falsely villainized. Not only are they a high volume food, they’re also loaded with antioxidants and minerals.

4️⃣ High-fiber bread options – @missionfoodsus Carb Balance wraps and @schmidtoldtyme 647 bread are go-to pick-ups when at Costco.

Remember: the foundation of your diet should be lean protein, fruit, and vegetables. But high-fiber products are a simple way to help you hit your fiber goal.
