Bad Body Image Day? Try These!

hey, I'm Brittney

I’m a nutrition and movement coach, entrepreneur, wife, enneagram 6, introvert, and mama of two. I also love sewing, knitting, and crocheting. #fitgrandma

I’m definitely not your typical nutrition and fitness coach. With my nutritionally agnostic and nuanced approach to health and fitness, you won’t find any restrictive, fad-diets, but you will find an advocate for autonomy who supports you in making educated decisions for your body.

We’re thriving in the grey area over here!

What makes Unbound so special?

Unbound is an accessible strength training program intended to help you embrace a structured approach to exercise and movement with limited time and resources.

Unbound gives you the ability to complete your workouts on your own terms when you’re short on time but still want to get stronger without focusing on weight loss.

Inside the program, we discuss how intentional strength training and joyful movement can coexist in addition to creating a schedule and plan that suits you and your own unique lifestyle and circumstances.

Ultimately, the goal of Unbound is to help you build upon and embrace your own foundations of strength and develop the confidence to continue strength training for years to come.

The Beta group of Unbound got started last week and I really can’t wait to continue supporting this awesome group of women and see how much they will accomplish over the next few weeks!

It wasn’t my best weekend of motherhood. I thin

It wasn’t my best weekend of motherhood.

I think so often, especially on social media, being a mom is portrayed as this overtly glorious phase of life. Moms are made into martyrs. Even in their suffering, they’re expected to suffer with grace and dignity. Sacrifice it all for the sake of your children.

Don’t get me wrong. I love my kids and I will gladly continue to make sacrifices for them. They are my guiding light and the very reason I do a lot of what I do - both personally and professionally.

But sometimes - just sometimes - I need to be not needed. Sometimes I just need to sit on the couch without two wildlings climbing on my lap. Sometimes I just need silence and a moment to not be so overstimulated.

This weekend I was overwhelmed, frustrated, and feeling like “how on earth am I going to have three children in a few short weeks?!” And when I needed to, I put myself in time out. I went to the bedroom and laid down for a few minutes. I sat in the nursery for some quiet time and even referred to it as “my regulation room”.

You don’t have to be a mom martyr. You don’t have to do it all. You’re allowed to be overwhelmed and emotional and need 10 minutes to yourself to put yourself back together. Find opportunities for little moments of escape and quiet. Do this so that when you do get back out into the living room of chaos you feel better about tackling the piles of laundry while cooking dinner and helping with craft projects all while Cocomelon is blaring from the TV and you’ve realized you still haven’t had a drink of water.

Here’s the SECRET SAUCE. No, it’s not a quick

Here’s the SECRET SAUCE.

No, it’s not a quick fix and yes it takes work, but this is the proven method I use for myself and my clients to initiate and maintain the changes we desire.

1. Acknowledge
2. Commit
3. Rebuild
4. Maintain

Rinse and repeat!

The process doesn’t have to be perfect and you’re allowed to have days where you’re not 100%.

Let me repeat that so it sticks with you.

The process doesn’t have to be perfect.
You’re allowed to have days where you’re not 100%.

This post specifically talks about how this process applies to increasing your time exercising or moving your body intentionally, but there are sooooo many other applications.

The possibilities are really endless.

What do you think?
Is this something you need more of in your life?
Do you already follow this process subconsciously or consciously?

Do you ever catch yourself slipping? Slipping int

Do you ever catch yourself slipping?

Slipping into disordered behaviors and thoughts even though you know better?

I know I do sometimes.

We’re never really fully healed or recovered. It’s something we have to consciously work on every day. Some days are easier than others for sure.

Lately I’ve noticed something when I’m getting ready in the mornings.

I’ll wake up around 5:30 and walk to the bathroom for a shower. By the time I’m finished showering and putting on some makeup it’s usually a few minutes before 6.

But when I walk back into the bedroom I’ll glance over at my night stand and see my Apple Watch sitting there on the charger waiting to be strapped on my wrist for the day.

I hurry to put it on, conscious not to waste the 5 o’clock hour as the first hour towards my stand goal.

On days I return to the bedroom after 6, my heart sinks a little. I’m upset that I didn’t get credit for my activity during the 5 o’clock hour.

Credit from who?

The arbitrary Apple Watch gods? The invisible check box inside of my head?

Do my friends think of me less if I don’t hit my stand goal each day? Is my family harmed if I don’t get credit for 5 am? Is my career ruined?

No. That would be ridiculous. It doesn’t matter. It has no affect on any aspect of my life.

I’m so grateful to be in a place now where I can recognize these thoughts and address them before they become problematic.

There was a time when my fitness tracker or calorie intake dictated whether I would have a good day or a bad day.
