How to Lose Weight Without Losing Your Mind: A Humorous Guide 🤹‍♂️

Hey Supermoms! 🦸‍♀️

Are you tired of battling the bulge only to find out the real enemy is a sneaky snack attack? Well, buckle up! I'm here to guide you through the maze of weight loss without making you cry over a salad. 🥗

The Truth About Losing Weight (Spoiler: It’s Not Just About the Scale)

  • Let’s face it: Losing weight isn’t just about fighting off the fat—it’s about duking it out with our darn appetites. We’re not overeating because we’re hungry; it’s because those sneaky processed foods and sugary delights are practically flirting with us from the shelves! 😏

  • Ever tried overeating boiled potatoes? Yeah, me neither. Turns out, it’s not the carbs' fault; it’s the company they keep. Think of it this way: green beans = good, jelly beans = jeans don't fit. 🍬➡️👖

  • “Eat less and move more,” they say. As if it were as simple as choosing happiness on a gloomy day. 🌧️ But what does that even mean? Eat how much less? Move how and where? To the fridge and back?

Your New Game Plan (Because You're Awesome and You Deserve It)

1.Eat Smarter, Not Less Like a Rabbit 🐰

Choosing food should be like choosing a Netflix show—go for quality, not just something to binge. Swap out those processed plot twists for whole-food heroes. Drink water like it’s the hottest gossip, and aim for those 10,000 steps as if you’re escaping the paparazzi.

2. The Calorie Deficit Hokey Pokey 🕺

Find that sweet spot where you're eating fewer calories but aren't hallucinating pizzas. It’s about balance, folks. Listen to your body—it’s smarter than your third-grade math teacher.

3. Protein: Your New BFF 💪

Protein is the friend who tells you like it is, keeps you full, and stops you from texting your ex… or diving into a bag of chips. Lean meats, legumes, and dairy—invite them to your party. They’ll help keep your muscles pumped and your hunger in check.

4. Choose Your Food Like You Choose Your Friends 👯‍♂️

Go for the ones that make you feel good and are genuinely good for you. Whole foods are the friends who help you move, not the ones who only show up at the party for free food. Variety is the spice of life and your diet.

5. Pump It Up With Strength Training 🏋️‍♀️

Lifting weights or doing resistance training is like leveling up in a video game. You’ll feel stronger, look better, and burn calories like a boss. Find what you love, be it weights, bands, or bodyweight exercises, and stick to it like glue.

Wrapping it up 🎯

Losing weight doesn't have to be a bore or a chore. It's about making smart, sustainable choices that fit your life and your preferences. Keep it fun, mix it up, and remember: the best diet is the one you don’t know you’re on.

The Mom Approved Meme-Break!  😄 

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

❓Why is it so hard to GET STARTED when it comes to my health & fitness?

✅Step 1: Figure out what (if anything) is stopping you.

✅Step 2: Stop letting it stop you.

Yes, I know that sounds too simple, but let me break it down for you. 

There are lots of reasons that roadblocks can pop up between you and your goals:

  • Fear 

  • Lack of knowledge 

  • Social or relationship pressures

  • Imposter syndrome (thinking the goal is for other people – not you) 

  • Inertia 

It can help to spend time thinking about what's REALLY stopping you... maybe try journaling or talking it out with a friend or coach…

… and then figuring out how to blast through the roadblock. Maybe it's doing some research, looking that fear in the face, or realizing that you DO deserve it. 💪

But the real key is TAKING ACTION anyway. 

Do JUST ONE THING that will help you reach your goal (TODAY!):

Go for a walk 🚶‍♀️

Do a workout 🏋️‍♀️

Make a healthy meal choice 🥗

Go to bed early 🛌

Choose water instead of soda 💦

And just keep taking action! Over time it will get easier as your confidence builds and you start feeling more energized and fit.

FOODS OF THE WEEK:
Cinnamon

🧡No spice says “comfort” quite like CINNAMON.

It doesn’t just add a warming flavor — it also packs some serious antioxidant power.

✅Fun Fact: cinnamon is being studied for its possible role in battling diabetes, heart disease, viruses, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, and so much more!

➡TIP: Look for Ceylon cinnamon (vs. Cassia). It contains more of the compound (cinnamaldehyde) that makes cinnamon so good for you.

FAST FOODS
3-Ingredient Apple Oat Cookies

🍎Who doesn’t love a great cookie!? This one is healthy AND delicious … and is super simple to make!

You can add dried fruit or nuts. You also can use plain instant oats in this recipe, it might take a few minutes less to bake and the texture will be less oat-ier.

3 Ingredient Apple-Oat Cookies 

(makes 8 cookies)

  • 4 oz (150 g) applesauce sweetened

  • 1 cup (80 g) rolled oats

  • ½ tsp cinnamon

  • Sprinkle of sea salt

Preheat oven to 350°F/177ºC. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Add all 3 ingredients to a mixing bowl and mix thoroughly. 

Using a 2 Tbsp scoop, scoop out the dough and place it on the baking sheet, spacing the cookie about 2 inches (5 cm) apart. Press the dough down with the bottom of a glass.

Bake the cookies for 15-16 minutes. They will be done when the edges start to brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool. Enjoy!

(These will keep for several days in the refrigerator.)
