Train with Jackie

💨 I'm not the type to pop on social media and talk about gas but this is becoming a public health crisis that is directly affecting me.

If people are going on social media talking about how bad you smell, you need to hear this... and then send it to someone you're thinking about.

While this isn't something I talk about on social media, all my incoming clients fill out a symptom questionnaire and gut health topics come up frequently, including the prevalence of foul smelling flatulence.

I've already helped save a marriage or two by helping my clients identify the issue and solve it before it ruined their relationship.

If this is you, don't worry, you don't have to put anything in the comments. You don’t even have to verbalize it to me. Just tell me about a different goal you have, rank your symptom on the intake form, and we can silently address this one without talking about it. 😬

If you've ever said, "Tracking food just doesn't work for me," this isn't meant to shame you, it's meant to help you.

More often than not, it's not that tracking failed. It's that no one ever taught you how to use it.

Maybe you were estimating portions instead of weighing them.
Maybe weekends never got logged.
Maybe your calorie target wasn't actually appropriate.
Maybe you gave up after two weeks because the scale didn't move.
Or maybe you were collecting data... but never using it to make adjustments.

Tracking isn't about perfection. It's about awareness.

Awareness is what gives you the power to make changes that actually move the needle.

Before you decide that tracking "doesn't work," ask yourself: Did I truly give it a fair shot?
If the answer is no, that's okay. Most people haven't.

The good news? That's a skill you can learn.
If you've ever felt like food tracking didn't work for you, it's most likely something about the process that didn't work.

I help my clients identify their nutrition barriers and help them overcome feeling stuck with fat loss.

Comment TRACK and let's chat about your fat loss goals!

I'm not here to tell you what you want to hear. I'm here to tell you what you NEED to hear.

I can promise there will be days when you don't want to show up and I'm going to ask you to show up anyway.

I can promise you will be challenged, pushed outside your comfort zone, and at some point, you'll definitely question the process.

I can promise there will be days when you don't like me. That's ok.

However, I can also promise you won't leave my program as the same person you came in.

You'll regain your energy.
You'll build strength (physical & mental).
You'll learn how to handle vacations, holidays, and special events to enjoy the moment without sacrificing your health and fitness goals.
You'll develop resiliency, feel confident in your clothes, and understand how to fuel your body.

If you know me, what red flag would you add? 👀🚩

It would have been REALLY easy to blame my to-do list for not going to the gym, but let me challenge you.

Being "busy" is not a reason to skip movement. Moving your body is literally the only reason you have a body. It was made to move.

You will always until the day you die have a to-do list. I promise it's not going anywhere and life isn't going to slow down the way you think it is.

Your goals deserve a place on your list today, and honestly, you're not going to get it all done today anyway. Your list can wait 45 minutes while you fill your cup back up so that you have something to pour out.

If you're done blaming your to-do list and ready to start prioritizing your health, let's connect because I'm all about getting things checked off a list, but not at the expense of neglecting yourself.

Women tell me all the time, "I just want to lose weight."

But after we start talking, I realize that's not actually what they're asking for.

They're asking to...

+ Have enough energy to play with their kids after work instead of collapsing on the couch.

+ Feel confident enough to say "yes" when someone wants to take a family picture.

+ Stop spending every vacation thinking about how they look in a swimsuit.

+ Give their husband the best version of themselves instead of whatever energy is left at the end of the day.

+ Build the business they've dreamed about without feeling like they're constantly running on empty.

+ Stop negotiating with themselves over every meal, every snack, every Monday.

Weight loss is simply the vehicle.

What they're really asking for is confidence.
Freedom.
Energy.
Peace.

They want to be fully present with the people they love instead of constantly thinking about calories, food, or the number on the scale.

Imagine how much more mental space would open up if your body wasn't the first thing you thought about in the morning. That's the transformation I care about the most.

Yes, I love helping women lose weight, but what I love more is what the journey gives them instead of what it takes away.

I want you to get your life back. ❤️

If you're sitting there thinking you wish that could be you, let's make it happen 🤝

The fitness industry loves to sell shortcuts.

30-day fixes.
Detoxes.
Fat burners.
GLP-1's. 👀

But every meaningful result I've ever achieved came from doing the same basic things over and over.

I rarely share my training regimen because it literally never changes.

I share the same foods on social media all. the. time. Maybe I'll change a sauce or swap a veggie, but I use the same staples.

I'm not trying new recipes or new workouts every day.

I walk. I drink water. I eat protein and fruits and vegetables. I sleep on a schedule. It's so basic.

I didn't get here by being "motivated."

I got here because I showed up for myself when I wasn't motivated. Motivation truly isn't a word in my vocabulary.

And you know what doesn't matter?
Motivation.

The only thing that matters is whether or not you did what you were supposed to do.

What's one habit you're working on being more consistent with? 👇

This one is a little controversial... and while it might come across as a little harsh, it truly is coming from a place of love.

If I just give you a meal plan and tell you what to eat, when, and how much, that gives you:

🚫 No autonomy to eat the things you want
🚫 No flexibility when birthdays, anniversaries, or weddings come up
🚫 No education around WHY certain foods are included or excluded

But when I ask you to track your food, you get:
✅️ Education around food
✅️ Understanding of how foods impact your health
✅️ We get to talk about the benefits and potential drawbacks of what you're incorporating regularly in your diet
✅️ Flexibility for events
✅️ Awareness of substitutions

Tracking food gives you so much freedom. You get to spend those calories just like you spend your money. Pay your bills first, and then enjoy what's left over.

It's not meant to be done forever but it is a really useful tool to achieve body composition results and education around nutrition.

Tracking gives you sustainability and freedom that a meal plan won't provide. If you're tired of starting over every Monday or can't seem to lose the last 10 pounds, don't wait any longer to ask for help. Let's get started 💪
