Hydration & Shakes 💧
What’s keeping me hydrated and protein-packed throughout the day. These are daily go-tos that make sipping and mixing easy.
I loved this water bottle SO much more than I thought I would. It's the perfect size for on the go because it's not too heavy and if fits nicely in my cup holders. I can literally never make up my mind on if I prefer a straw or a free flow water bott...
It keeps my water cold and it doesn't sweat, unlike me lol. And the strap comes in handy so much when I'm doing my full-time job of being a pack mule and carrying around all my kids stuff everywhere lol.

FreeSip® Sway - Sparkling Sherbert
I decided to buy this shaker because all the cool gym rats have one so I had to have one. It's actually really nice and easy to clean. I also like that I can buy powdered protein or pre-workout instead of buying premade ones to save some money. And y...
BlenderBottle Pro Series - 24 oz Saffron
If I could scream about this from the roof tops of everywhere I went, I would. It's SO good. Most protein powder/shakes leave a chalky taste in my mouth, but this one does not! It tastes so good that I literally feel like I'm drinking a milkshake!
I didn't love the thinness of using water (although the flavor and consistency was still phenomenal) so I've been using either 1% milk and it's literally: chef's kiss. I use about 8 oz of the milk and then dilute it with water to the top of my shaker...

Protein Powder - Chocolate Peanut Butter | CSE
So if you know me, you already know I always have an Alani Nu Energy Drink (the peach is my FAVE). Because I love their energy drinks already, I just had to try the protein shakes when I saw them. This is the only flavor I've tried so far and it does...

Tracking the Journey ⚖️
The tools helping me stay accountable. From weighing food to watching progress, these picks keep me on track.
I love love love having a digital food scale (words I never thought would leave my mouth)! My biggest struggle when trying to lose weight is portion control. I like to mood eat and eat my little heart out, but that's a no no in a calorie deficit. I a...
Also you don't need anything fancy in the beginning either. Just something like this that you can easily operate, carry around with you, and that measures grams/oz/pounds!

Greater Goods Digital Kitchen Scale
Now we all know by now that a bathroom scale is not the only way to track progress. However, I do think it's important (if your mental health can handle it) to own a bathroom scale just for accountability reasons. It's an easy way to track your weigh...
Weight Watchers by Conair Digital Scale
This is the app I've been using to track my macros and my calories! I'm really enjoying it because I feel like it's very user-friendly!
I use the free version, and I love that I can still track macros and use a barcode scanner to track my food without having to use the pro version. It also links to your apple watch (if you have one) to track steps and workouts if that is something yo...

Little changes, big difference. These are healthier alternatives I’ve found that still satisfy cravings and fit my goals.
I love a good tortilla chip, but my calorie deficit does not love a good tortilla chip. However, I recently tried these Quest chips and they are DELICIOUS! I tried them plain and as nachos, and they were great both ways! The flavor is good, the consi...
Quest Salsa Verde Tortilla Style Protein Chips
I LOVE peanut butter. However, peanut butter is higher in fat and calories than I would like it to be! I started using PBFit for when I'm craving peanut butter because it has a great taste, but is much lower in calories and fat! I usually mix it with...
PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter - 6.5oz
I am not usually a greek or regular yogurt girly because my gag reflex and the consistency of either just do NOT get along. However, I've been using greek yogurt as a sour cream alternative and I'm really enjoying that! I also heard of people mixing ...
Greek Plain Nonfat Yogurt - 18g Protein 32oz - Good & Gather™
I'm also not a big cottage cheese girly when it's by itself, but I love mixed in with something. I've had it on nachos, in taco bowls, scrambled into my eggs so they are fluffier, and on salads. It's just a great way to add a cheesy flavor, but stayi...
1% Milkfat Low fat Small Curd Cottage Cheese - 24oz - Good & Gather™
When I was a kid and my mom went on diets and bought rice cakes, I tried them and thought she was crazy! However, I recently tried these caramel ones from Aldi and they are amazing for a low cal sweet treat! I added a bit of my PBFit peanut butter an...

Simple ways I’m staying active. Affordable gear and an app I love for getting in movement without overthinking it.
I'm a SAHM of 4 and my youngest is only 3 months old so I don't have a lot of time or energy to physically go to the gym. I recently discovered GrowWithJo though and I'm obsessed. She literally has any kind of workout video you can think of: postpart...
She has an app or is on youtube and I've enjoyed either platform!

GrowWithJo
I have vinyl flooring all throughout my house, so I needed something that I could comfortable lay on for workouts to help strengthen my core back from having 4 kids! A yoga mat has been a lifesaver for my back, and it's also nice to not slip all over...
Yoga Mat 6mm Blue - All In Motion™: High Tack Grip, Nitrile Butadiene Rubber
Gym Shoes are definitely something that need to be tailored to what you are looking to do. You just need something that feels comfortable and that you can be active in. If running is your vibe, get shoes for that. Weight lifting, get shoes specific f...
S Sport By Skechers Women's Resse 2.0 Elastic Gore Sneakers
Ya girl has lost any and all arm strength since being a SAHM and having 4 babies back to back. So we are starting with low weights to help tone and strengthen my arms. Nothing wrong with baby steps… See what I did there? 😜 I also love that these are...
Dumbbell 2lbs Violet - All In Motion™
I've been eyeing these ankle weights for when I go on my hot mom walks just to add a little umph to what I'm doing. I haven't purchased them yet because I'm working my way up to this, but I wanted to share them in case you are interested in something...
