But basically, it just comes down to counting grams of protein, carbs and fat. “Counting Macros” simply means you are counting the number of grams of protein, carbs and fat to ensure you are “hitting your macros” or basically eating enough of each category to ensure your body is getting what it needs, nutritionally speaking. Macros are the building blocks of a well balanced diet: Protein, Carbs and Fat. Very pregnant with my last baby in NYC What are Macros? So, its been so nice to discover this new area of life and see just how strong I can get. But it was a good excuse to kick my butt into shape and get me on a good path to health and strength.Īnd here we are, almost a year later after I started counting, stronger than I’ve ever been, in the best shape of my life, at the lightest weight I’ve ever been in my adult life…even lighter than I was in high school (but, that’s not saying much because I was slightly overweight in high school.) I feel good and proud and confident in my body….things I haven’t ever really associated with my body EVER. Spoiler alert: the marathon eventually got cancelled and I was training for nothing. I started with my old numbers from my trainer back in 2013 and used those for 4 months and then after doing more and more research on my own, got comfortable adjusting them myself. I used to be a runner, but didn’t love it (and still don’t totally love it!) but wanted to accomplish this huge feat.Īfter I was done breastfeeding my last sweet babe in March 2020, I started to zero in on my diet and chose to be strict with my food since abs are made in the kitchen (sad but true). February 2020, I got selected to run the NYC marathon and decided to get into shape since (insert all the swear words here) I had to run a marathon.
Then we moved to Idaho and then NYC and I had two more babies. I saw great progress, but he was so strict with me! While it worked for me for a few months, I couldn’t keep going at the pace he was pushing me towards, so I quit and life went on. He calculated my numbers and helped me workout. I saw a trainer and he introduced me to ‘macros’. I first started counting macros after I had Blake, my second baby, in 2013. Everything I talk about below is from my personal experience with practicing, using and calculating my own macros. Let me start off this post by saying I am not a professional.
