Faith is an energetic person who shines even after she’s been wrangling kids all day.
Her enthusiasm for life and learning is infectious. She’s kind of like the real-life Ms. Frizzle from the Magic School Bus with incredible locks to match! Faith is due with her first baby this winter, that is one lucky little winter delight!
Faith joined Pittsburgh FIT wanting to improve her health, increase her energy, start a regular workout routine, and learn how to nourish her body without creating mental “food rules”.
Faith was coming from a history of food restriction, putting moral value on food, and a habit of creating challenging food rules.
Faith did one month of nutrition coaching with coach Heather and then joined group fitness
She focused on having meals instead of snacks and she prioritized protein and vegetables. She switched from having sweets throughout the day to just having them after meals- this helped stabilize her glucose spikes and supported her insulin sensitivity. All these things helped faith kick the constant sugar cravings.
Within a week or two, her energy and focus significantly increased!
Things that would cause significant stress and emotional drain didn’t affect her like they did previously. She took on more shifts at school without suffering the drain of the past. She could navigate challenges at school so much more easily, kids fighting, and grading on a deadline? No problem.
She saw these benefits because she was fueling her body intentionally and paying attention to reducing her blood sugar spikes, which helped create more energy, more focus, and less emotional turmoil. All this made Faith more resilient and the day-to-day more enjoyable.
To everyone’s delight, nutritional coaching and regular exercise through group fitness before her pregnancy set Faith up for success with good habits already established to carry her through a healthy pregnancy.
Faith is so excited for the next phase of life as a mom; she wanted to help prepare her body for pregnancy, and she did just that. She’s working out regularly in group classes and has that fit mom glow that we see in so many of our Pittsburgh FIT moms!
