STAY FIT MOM
After years of searching I’ve finally landed on my FAVORITE nutrition coaching program. For many years I would send my clients to registered dietitians through the university. Others found success with weight watchers. Some enjoyed Noom. Others tracked calories on MyFitnessPal. All had some levels of success but with many issues - not enough accountability with the dietitian and myfitnesspal, and too few calories and lots of guilt with Noom and Weight Watchers. One of my girls heard about Stay Fit Mom and wanted me to try it with her. I was hesitant (oh my goodness not ANOTHER PROGRAM) but then FLOORED the more I learned. Macro Tracking (and the way it is formatted) checks ALL of the boxes
- No major push for supplements (thank god they aren’t a MLM)
- A focus on being well rounded (never eliminating anything from the diet)
- An appropriate level of each macro (not too high in protein and fat)
- Tracking on other important health factors like fiber, veggies, water, and exercise
- AMAZING recipes (I am still doing a dance of joy at how many of those wonderful recipes my kids love)
- Personal coaching support/accountability/adjustments
- A helpful online community
- NOT feeling guilty about bad days

HIDRATE SPARK WATER BOTTLE
I am obsessed with this water bottle. It tracks my water intake through an app on my phone, and lights up in beautiful colors when I am behind on my hydration for the day. There is a social aspect that lets me connect to other users and “compete” to see who is reaching their hydration goals for the day. This may seem cheesy but this one simple product has absolutely changed my bad habit of not drinking enough to match my training (or drinking too many of the wrong things).
THERABODY THERAGUN
I recently became a certified Theragun practitioner and am a member of their Therabody Network. Percussive massage is one of the latest breakthrough treatments for soft tissue pain. It helps accelerate the growth and repair of concentrated tissues by providing strong, rapid, short-duration pulses deep into the tissues of the body. Percussive massage also provides a gentle stretch to the muscles and connective tissues, improving responsiveness, flexibility and overall performance.
BLUE APRON
It's no secret that I've never been able to cook. I dedicated the year of 2016 to learning how - not only for my personal health, but the health of my expanding family. Blue Apron sends a box of incredibly fresh ingredients weekly, complete with detailed recipes that even I could handle! We found ourselves enjoying different veggies, ethnic dishes, and cooking styles with each meal! The key to healthy nutrition is variety and portion control, all which you can get from Blue Apron Meals!

EXERGY MASSAGE
All athletes (and well, anybody really) can value from a regular massage. In fact, recovery between workouts is what most athletes neglect the most. Move better, feel better, and become an overall healthier and more balanced person with regular massage. And I am clearly biased, but I do believe Peter Verstegen gives the best massages in Madison, Wisconsin.
MY FITNESS PAL
I truly believe that tracking fuel and fitness is the secret to weight loss and athletic success. I've tried many calorie and fitness trackers, and a few years ago landed on My Fitness Pal. Not only is it incredibly user friendly, but the social sharing is KEY! Through this app, I am able to view my clients' weekly intake and fitness with just one click. We can also congratulate each other and keep one another motivated through the social program.
I HIGHLY recommend signing up for MyFitnessPal Premium. It enables you to do a quick barcode scan of your foods, and track detailed information such as macros and nutrients.

SUPREME HEALTH AND FITNESS
I can honestly say there is no gym in the world like this one. What makes it so wonderful? The people. Our little hidden gym has the top trainers and group fitness instructors in the United States. I am also a personal fan of our playroom, which is second to none. Grey has learned so much in there and as a mom, I have had no doubts leaving him in this wonderful staff's care since he was 3 days old. Our gym may not be fancy, but if you want to go "where everybody knows your name" and CARES about your comfort, safety, health, and fitness... Supreme is your place.
MADISON LOG ROLLING
Fun. Unique. Athletic. Historic. There are so many reasons why I love the sport of log rolling and why I started this company with Olivia Judd. Join us on the shores of Lake Wingra, or in the pools of Supreme Health and Fitness & Madison West YMCA. Warning, this sport is addicting; VERY addicting. And you may get fit. Like REALLY in shape. Loads of new friends and laughter? That too.
