Ep. 22 Kirby Smith - Crushing Goals After 3 Kids & Finding Food Freedom

This week I changed things up a little bit and had my friend, Kirby Smith, onto the show! . Kirby & I have both seen each other progress through our own health journey, as she was my English teacher in high school, and we have kept in touch since then! . Kirby, a wife and mom of 3 young boys, has quite an inspiring story to share with you on today’s show, something she has done over the past few years, but really taking it to the next level this year! . In today’s episode, we discussed: . Why did she shift to fitness and how her fitness changed through her pregnancies. . How her competitive edge has helped her progress her fitness. . When and why she added nutrition into the mix. . Building habit slowly to prevent overwhelm. . How restriction can lead to more problems down the road. . Gaining food freedom with tracking macronutrients. . Overcoming the learning curve of tracking. . How and why she works out early in the mornings - how this starts her day with a win! . Her experience of working with a coach and the benefits she has seen from it. . From pageants, to photoshoots, to races, to learning to surf, and now body building - how she continues to check items off her bucket list, doing more this past year than she has done in a long time! What else is on her bucket list? . Transitioning from tons of endless cardio to maximizing her lifts strength training! . How she has improved her relationship with the scale, valuing non-scale victories. . Working through night time snacking. . How she stays so disciplined and motivated. . How having a spouse in the household who is aligned with similar health goals can be helpful, but it also can’t be an excuse if they are not. . What Kirby recommends you do if you are just starting out, trying to lose weight. . Thank you SO much, Kirby, for taking time out of your busy schedule to join me on the show. It was my pleasure! .
