Slice & Dice Saturday 👩🏽‍🍳🔪: Tahini Power Sauce 🍋🌿 ••• Confession Time: I’m not a recipe person 🤷🏻‍♀️ Maybe it’s the three kids, maybe it’s a bit of scatter brain, OR maybe I just like being free to do what I want in the kitchen. But THIS recipe I can get behind. Something about tahini is just addicting, it makes everything taste amazing—you just can’t go back once you’ve had it. Try it out!

If you were to grade your nutrition on an A-F scale, what would give yourself? •• •• I talk about food A LOT. If you’ve sat down with me or are thinking of booking a free nutrition consultation with me, this question is and will be asked. In just one letter, I can tell me SO much about your relationship with food. •• •• People rarely give themselves As. The reasons are loaded: I cheat too much, I eat out, I eat too many carbs, etc 🍿🍩🍻🍔. •• •• Here’s the thing: I am a self-confessed “A” 🙋🏻‍♀️. It doesn’t come easy. It’s not something that I was born with (far from!) I’ve worked really hard to be an A. I eat balanced meals every 3-4 hours 🍲, I make an effort to drink water throughout the day 💧, I do some sort of movement every single day 🧘🏻‍♀️🤸🏽‍♂️🏋🏽‍♀️ I also eat out, eat sugar, and love carbs. I am still an A. •• •• I could be an A+ but I couldn’t be one for long. In fact, those A+ days would lead to F days. •• •• Consistency is always better than perfection. In fact, what is perfection? Perfection is an ideal we make up ourselves. It is unattainable because it does not exist. It even becomes a form of self-sabotage. (Ever eat something you consider “not healthy” and then feel like the day was ruined? To only continue to make bad choices that make you feel worse?). •• •• Consistently make choices that support your health and fitness goals (or really any goal you have in life). Occasionally you’ll make choices that don’t directly support them. That’s okay! Your consistency makes them outliers. •• •• Now, seriously, what would you grade yourself? 🍎🔪💯 •• #consistency #notperfect #nutrition #reallife #goals #crossfit #temecula #healthystepsnutrition #murrieta #escondido #riverside #personaltraining

There’s no doubt about it: nutrition is a weighted subjected. So many factors influence the choices we make about food. It can be overwhelming. • We so badly want there to be an easy fix. We want to drink celery juice and have our problems go away. We want to buy a template and have our dream body. We want to drink a meal replacement shake and have all our ducks in a row 🐥🐥🐥. • People tell me all the time that they don’t have the time or money to dedicate to it. • These are the same people that are eating out all the time & buying into the latest “lose weight fast asap” promise 💸💸💸 Those choices don’t get them their dream body but yet, they still keep choosing them. • The reality is: you gotta put the work in and do it right the first time. It’s just a part of being an adult: ya wanna save money? Then you have to put money aside 💰. Ya wanna have a better relationship with your spouse? Ya gotta put in the effort ❤️. Wanna do a muscle up? Ya gotta practice the skills that will get you one 🤸🏽‍♀️. • Wouldn’t it be easier to have food be a non-issue? To know what to eat, when to eat it, and what food prep methods work best for YOU and YOUR schedule? • Click on the link in our bio and schedule a no snack intro today. A free nutrition consultation. Stop making choices that don’t get you what you want. • #nutritioncoach #nutrition #healthystepsnutrition #temecula #murrieta #riverside #escondido #socal #personaltraining #workingout #goals

Motivational Monday ⚡️⚡️⚡️ ••• #motivationalquotes #motivation #crossfit #temecula #nutrition

Meal Prep Sunday 🛒👩🏽‍🍳🔪🍎 ••• This week features a little bit of everything. Woke up and made a batch of gf peanut butter chocolate breastfast cookies from @chocolatecoveredkatie (I’ve been following her for nearly a DECADE and she’s still my go to for sweet but healthy recipes). While that was in the oven, I got some hardboiled eggs started on the stove top. ••• For our lunches for the week: I almost always make some sort of chicken, carb, and veggie for my husband and I. We’ve been on a jasmine rice and Thai marinade kick—so that’s what it was today! • Pro tip: Start whatever is going to the longest, first. I break down and pound the chicken down and set it aside to marinade first. Then start the rice. THEN worry about the veggies while everything else is busy cooking. ••• I sliced up some veggies to pickle as well. Pictured: red onion, spicy red pepper radishes, dill pickles, and bourbon jalepenos. Pickling is SO easy—plus it’s a cheap way to support your gut health. ••• Not pictured: sweet potato fries because LIFE 💁🏻‍♀️. •• Don’t forget to tag @crossfittemecula in your food prep/grocery haul pictures this weekend! You’ll be entered to win $25 to Sprouts! ••• #foodprep #nutrition #crossfit #healthystepsnutrition #sproutsfarmersmarket #temecula #murrieta #fermentation #pickles #pickling #guthealth

How to track your nutrition & not lose your damn mind in the process 🍉🥓🍳🥑🥗🌯🥒 • 63% of you said you log your food on a data base like @myfitnesspal or @my.macros on a poll in our IG stories yesterday. • You can close your eyes and hope for the best, make good choices, try and be in a deficit (or maintenance or surplus calories), try to hit your micronutrients, etc but if you’re not logging your food choices and quantities, you’re just going on feeling. It’s just like your savings account. You can try and save money but if you’re not checking your bank statements, making note of where you’re money is being spent, and putting money aside each month: you’re plan is no better than a simple finger cross 🤞🏻. • My #1 tip for food tracking is to log your food the night before. Yeah it’s a chore. Yeah you’d rather be lounged out on the couch watching Netflix. BUT sometimes ya just gotta adult and do things that are good for you. This is one of those things. • You don’t have to log your whole day out. If you have food prepped, log that. If you know you’re craving something in particular, log that. Know your protein options in your fridge? Log 4-6oz for your main meals. • This way you’re not only putting it out to the universe that you care about what you put into your body & you have goals that you want to accomplish—you’re not closing your eyes and hoping for the best at the end of the day. • I have been logging my food for YEARS and I still fall back on this method. It is all too easy to tell yourself you’ll log it after you eat. Let’s face it, it just doesn’t happen. Replace that promise with a habit and watch your consistency go ☝🏻. • #nutritiontips #nutrition #crossfit #mealprep #flexibledieitng #healthyfood #nutritioncoach #temecula #sanbernardino #riverside #escondido #socal #murrieta
