HERE’S 4 STEPS TO DO THE SAME ⬇️

First I just want to say, most mamas aren’t willing to keep with it when they don’t see results right away. 🙊

But I know that you are fully capable of sticking with it and that you are different because you WANT this. 💪🏻

If you stick with it, continue to show up, and focus on how you feel rather than how you look, you ABSOLUTELY can see results and continue to see them long term. 🫶🏻

So what are the actions you need to take? Pssst… I lost 35 lbs doing this exact strategy in addition to tracking my macros.

1. Start doing workouts that focus on strength, and also get your heart rate up to burn maximum calories in a short amount of time (this can be 30-45 min sessions!)

2. Incorporate deep core exercises into your routine vs. crunches.

3. Lift heavy enough to where you can’t lift anymore at the end of the set.

4. Incorporate two LISS sessions per week in addition to 3-4 strength focused sessions as well as aiming to get 10,000 steps per day.

✨ In my Made for Mamas workout program, I give you all of these things!! Each workout is made with moms in mind- because I am one!

❓READY to get started and stop wishing that you could find something that works!?

🤍Comment: STRONG below and I’ll send you the info on my Made for Mamas workout program so that you can join so many other women who are already using it to crush their goals!!

🎉 Let’s do this!!

HERE’S WHAT I DID 👇🏼

💾 But first, make sure you save this post so you can come back to the steps later!

1. I started eating enough protein, carbs, and fat to support milk supply but also in the right ratios so my body knew to burn fat. Specifically, I ate my weight in protein and the proper calories for my goals. (Even if your youngest is not a baby anymore this is how you should start!)

2. Focused on strength building exercises combined with HIIT style exercises for maximum calorie burn in a short amount of time (#momlife)

3. Prioritized small habits like drinking 100 oz water daily, getting my steps in, having high protein grab-n-go options at all times.

4. I made sure to include my favorite foods and drinks so that I never felt deprived and I listened to my body when I felt like it needed something specific.

🥗I stopped just “eating healthy” and just working out without any sort of intention/method.

🗓️ It took about 10 weeks for me to lose 10 lbs- and I didn’t focus on the timeline. I focused on my daily habits and how I felt. I weighed myself here and there, and didn’t let the number affect my mood or my habits.

I kept doing the things and showing up day after day… and I’ve now lost over 35 lbs (which took about 10 months of consistency) and I am lifting more than I have ever been able to in my life. It’s taken 2 YEARS after my second to feel this way- and I’m so glad I never quit.

✨You can do this too if you’re willing to trust the process, have patience, and keep your goals in mind!

💪🏻 Want to get started??

🤍 Comment: MACROS below and I’ll send you the info on my Macros for Mamas mini course that walks you through exactly how to calculate your macros(protein, carbs, fat) + calories to reach YOUR goals for YOUR specific body type. I also give you ALL my tips on how to do this as a busy mom!

✨Things could look so different in just a few months if you just start today! ✨

Hi, new friends!! 👋🏻👋🏻 Intro post for

Hi, new friends!! 👋🏻👋🏻

Intro post for all the new faces around here!

I’m Rebekah! Personal trainer and dietitian, and most importantly mom of 2!

On the outside you see a mom who prioritizes her health and it may seem like it comes easy to me.

But- If you knew me you’d know that my first pregnancy was a miscarriage, I’ve been through hell and back twice with my pregnancies of not only hyperemesis gravidarum but also delivering 2, 10 lb babies, and now losing about 50 lbs after the two pregnancies combined. It hasn’t been easy for one second!

My body has been through ALOT and I refuse to let that dictate what my future holds. I want to nourish my body, reach my body composition goals, feel confident in my skin and have all the energy I need to keep up with these little munchkins! And I love helping other mamas do the same.

Some more about me-
✨I LOVE coffee (now drink only decaf)- my fave afternoon drink is a dirty chai latte ☕️
✨My husband is on Young Life staff and we live in southern Indiana!
✨My son, Hampton, is named after my maiden name and my grandpa who’s nickname was Hamp!
✨I’m a Christ follower and Jesus is the reason for everything I do
✨ I was a dancer all my life and danced at Purdue on the dance team!
✨I love going to the movies and getting a big ole popcorn with a Dr Pepper
✨my favorite meal is burgers and fries (close tie would be pizza!)
✨I’m a night owl by nature but having kids has made me switch that up a bit 🙃

Here on IG I help moms learn how to nourish their body to reach their body composition goals, feel confident in their skin, and have more energy- so they can ultimately be the mom they so desire to be! I do 1:1 coaching, group programs, and I also have a few things you can start right now on your journey to better health!DM me or check out my link in bio for more info!

What do we have in common? Tell me below!!👇🏻👇🏻

HOW WE’RE DOING IT👇🏼

Here’s the thing… most women who come to me for help are not eating ENOUGH. I see so much backlash about tracking macros and trying to “shrink” our bodies— this is NOT the case. Time and time again, my clients start to eat MORE, and NOURISH their bodies, and FINALLY start to see the results they desire.

✨ Does it happen overnight? Nope. It takes consistent action of doing the RIGHT things.. and the women in my community are doing just that!

☹️ I USED TO…

- avoid any food that had more than 5 ingredients
- cut out bread and dairy because they caused “inflammation”
- run half marathons and run miles and miles because I thought thats what healthy people did
- lift 10 lb dumbbells for every exercise

🤗 NOW I:

- Eat ALL foods with full freedom
- Include my faves- pizza, beer, bread, and cheese every single week
- know how to properly engage my core to bring my abs back together after babies
- fit in 30-45 minutes strength/HIIT exercises to build strength efficiently as a stay-at-home mom
- lift HEAVY for each exercise where I can barely finish the last set

⚡️ IT’S ALL BECAUSE I LEARNED ABOUT THE POWER OF MACROS AND HOW BEST TO FUEL MY SPECIFIC BODY TYPE

And then I started helping other mamas do the same…

🥅ONE SMALL HABIT AT A TIME

I’ve been aware of how protein, carbs, and fat work in my body for years now, and I can now say I’m the fittest I’ve ever been.

I’ve also learned to give myself GRACE as being a mom has different seasons and I know that I will not be perfect.

Also, I have learned tips and hacks that help me to be present and stay consistent. Even when life is crazy.

🔑 This is KEY and truly what I was missing before I started to see results.

✨I’d love to show you how YOU TOO can learn about macros and how they will help you to start seeing results in less than 30 days, and still be a present mom!

❤️COMMENT: MACROS and I’ll send you info on my Macros for Mamas course- the resource that so many women are using to learn how to start macros, calculate their own, and learn about tips + tricks that I use to quickly track while being a busy mom.

HOW to stop comparing your journey to others⬇️

HOW to stop comparing your journey to others⬇️

✨Your journey is DIFFERENT than anyone else’s…

You have to find gratitude for what your body did and the abilities you have… (like the ability to make a human!)

🔎 Stop looking at how any other mama “bounces back” after babies, how they did that, and why your journey doesn’t look like hers.

💪🏻Start being confident in who YOU are and figuring out what it will take to get where YOU want to go… not where Karen is, how she is getting there OR especially how she looks in the process.

🥅Write out your specific, realistic, measurable goals (EX: I want to drink 100 oz of water every day for the next 30 days).

Start taking consistent action…

✨Refuse to let comparison and confusion stop you.

Focus on YOUR journey and what YOU are doing, not your friends. So often we don’t start or even stop because we aren’t seeing the progress that others are… don’t let this be you!

Your progress may look different AND what you need is different than what you friends need.

⚡️YOU are fully capable of feeling amazing again after having babies.

✨ I am the strongest I have ever been after going through two hellish pregnancies and having to lose 35+ lbs to feel semi-normal again and it’s because I focused on MY journey, I didn’t get depressed when it wasn’t as fast as others, and I knew exactly what it would take.

🫶🏻It’s been 2 years since I had my son, and I can confidently tell you that I feel stronger and I AM stronger than I ever have been. Not just physically, but mentally and emotionally.

✨ Truly you can reach your goals after babies, you just need to believe in yourself, love yourself through the journey, and have the right tools.

🧡🧡Give me some hearts in the comments if you’re ready to love yourself through the process.

👏🏻And if you’re looking for a way to reach your goals in a way that isn’t restrictive, tailored specifically for YOU (and not Karen)…

PSA: 1200 CALORIES IS NOT ENOUGH FOOD!!! So how

PSA: 1200 CALORIES IS NOT ENOUGH FOOD!!!

So how do you eat more + lose more?

HERE’S WHAT I DID + WHAT I TEACH MY CLIENTS ⬇️

(And what you can do too)!

💾 But first, SAVE THIS FOR LATER so you can come back to it later!

✨ Here’s what I did:

1. I learned about MACROS + why they MATTER. We’ve been told that eating less and moving more is the solution to all of our problems. WRONG. You need to shift your mind to “EAT MORE BURN MORE”. If you’re eating ENOUGH of the RIGHT foods- your body will do the work for you. I started eating in the right macro ratios for MY body, and MY goals. You also need to NOURISH your body- it’s not all about fat loss!!!

2. I started prioritizing strength workouts 3-4 times per week paired with HIIT so that I could have maximum calorie burn in a short amount of time because #momlife. These aren’t just any HIIT workouts. They prioritize muscle gains by lifting heavy. These aren’t just your body weight HIIT workouts.

3. I was consistently doing this for 10 months and I saw about 1 lb of weight loss per week (some weeks were more but some were less)… and I lost about 35 lbs! I didn’t focus on the scale. I focused on my habits, and how I FELT in my clothes.

🚫I also stopped comparing my postpartum journey to others because my story is MINE- no one else’s. My body has done a lot for me and I learned to love it during the process- not just when I have reached my goals.

✅ I kept doing the things and showing up day after day for my health and for my goals..

⚡️You can do this too if you’re willing to trust
the process, do the work, and keep your goals in mind!

❓I’m curious… Are you currently doing any of those 3 things right now?

WANNA START NOW?

💛 Comment: CUSTOM below and I’ll send you the info on getting a PERSONAL Macro Assessment from me so you can know exactly how to shift what you’re eating to reach your goals.

✨Things could look so different in just a few months if you just start today!
