🤷🏻‍♀️I don't know who needs to hear th

🤷🏻‍♀️I don't know who needs to hear this but it helps when you have realistic goals instead of idealistic goals.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For example, you may want to look like your fave crossfit games athlete or influencer, so you follow their meal plans, workouts, and every single supplement they recommend, only to come up short.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Why?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1st off their genetics are far different than yours (not better, not worse, just different) but 2nd off your lifestyles are VERY different. This isn't a bad thing it's just we have to understand why what we are shooting for may in fact be very unrealistic and far too idealistic.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They may workout 3-4 (or more) hours a day, while you only have time to workout 3-4 days for 30-60 minutes at a time.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You may have a family to feed, while the person you're looking up to has maybe a dog or a husband to watch after and maybe even a cleaning lady.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You may not be getting 8 hours of sleep because, you know, life? kids? dogs barking? While they make 8-9 hours look like it's so easy to attain.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They may have time to meal prep every meal, count every last macro & have companies send them food. You? It's definitely something you prioritize but who has time to plan out every last gram of protein when you have a family, responsibilities, and a life to live?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The point is we have to stop comparing our real to someone else's as this ends up making us shoot for and unrealistic ideal.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Reevalutate your goals today and think about if the diet, lifestyle, body type, exercise plan, etc. really matches with your life goals, lifestyle, etc. and if not, don't feel shame or guilt, just readjust!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🙌🏻🙌🏻if you are going to focus more on the real and less on the ideal going forward.

xoxo,
Sassy

🤰🏻First trimester hack: I used @sfh in place

🤰🏻First trimester hack: I used @sfh in place of eating fish or having to take extra pills to get my DHA requirements
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🙌🏻You guys know I don’t recommend something I wouldn’t use myself and @sfh fish oil is one of those things. It truly was and still is a lifesaver for me. (AD)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🐟I had a cooking class early on in my first trimester that involved air frying fish, I was so nauseous that I almost had to excuse my self from the (Zoom) class to vomit. Luckily I held it together 😂 if you were on that call, my apologies if I rushed through that recipe. I had to open windows and doors to manage post cooking class and force my husband to eat it all immediately.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🐠As someone who eats fish 1-2x per week this was a hard left turn and I was worried about getting enough omega 3s so this was a point where a supplement was not only needed but 100% appreciated.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🙃I’ve been trying to be laid back as possible during this pregnancy but the dietitian in me still wants to do the best I can with what I know. Did you know I took specialty classes in undergrad for maternal & fetal nutrition? 🤓
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤷🏻‍♀️Anywho use code “sassy” to snag your own whether you’re struggling like I was or generally don’t eat enough fish in your diet (I recommend 2x per week if possible)!

🏞Hiking is one of my all-time favorite activiti

🏞Hiking is one of my all-time favorite activities. And with the cooler weather and wide-open spaces, it seems like more and more people are hitting the trails. (#ad)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🙂You guys have been asking me how to prepare for hiking and while there are a lot of different things to worry about, my #1 tip is proper fueling and hydration for your adventure.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🙌🏻When packing your bag, make sure to prioritize:
1) Water - You'll be sweating a lot! Plan to drink about 16-24 ounces per hour.
2) Electrolytes - Sodium and potassium are important to stay hydrated and help prevent muscle cramping.
3) Carbohydrates & Protein - Keeping your energy levels high and your hanger away means enjoying your hike to its fullest.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🙏🏻For me, this looks like:
1) A bladder filled with 3L of water. Sometimes I'll also bring a water bottle for extra storage.
2) A few salty snacks like pretzel sticks plus electrolyte tablets or drink mixes that I can add to water.
3) Portable and nutrient-dense options like @clifbar Energy Bars. With an ideal mix of beneficial carbohydrates from organic rolled oats and sugar, plus moderate amounts of protein and fat these bars provide the sustained energy I need for long hikes.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤷🏻‍♀️You don’t need to fuss over fancy supplements or gourmet meals when you hike, but your nutrition can certainly make or break your day. Make sure you’re prepared!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👇🏻Comment below with your favorite hiking snacks and be sure to check out the Clif Bar & Company Energy Playbook (link in bio) to learn more about how to find the right energy for your adventures.

💧Hydration Station Upgrade!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🥰I've been keeping a secret from you guys and it's time I share with you a little bit about what's been brewing besides coffee over here.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌈We are excited to announce that there will be a new sassy addition to our household this coming February!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌈We have been holding our breaths for many months as pregnancy after loss is mentally & emotionally taxing. I still miss my angel baby I will never get to meet and this baby will not replace it but it will help to bring some joy and entertainment to our world (it already has).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🥰Thank you for all of your support over the last few months, miscarriage is a process, as is pregnancy and it truly has changed me, hopefully for the better.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🥰I hope to share with you a bit more about what's been going on so you can see that even dietitians struggle to get vegetables during their first trimester. Just know that sometimes it's hard for me to talk about it because I am nervous every day that this isn't real or that I might lose it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤰🏻I'm still my sassy self, just with a little bump and a whole new appreciation for child bearing and motherhood.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💕 I know pregnancy announcements are hard, I cried countless times any time I'd turn on my phone and see an announcement. My heart goes out to those who are struggling to conceive, have lost their precious little ones or who are dealing with any fertility issues at all. I got a glimpse into that world and it's heartbreaking and lonely.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💕Know that I am here for you but I also understand if you need to put things on mute for a bit, I respect you no matter what.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here's to the next chapter of Sass.
xoxo,
Sassy & Fam
