HELLO I’M AUTUMN

I am a Certified Whole30 Coach, and an ACSM Certified Exercise Physiologist, with a B.S. in Exercise Science. I have run wellness programs at the university (BYU) and local levels. Though exercise was my first love in the health world, nutrition has become my passion. I am mom to 5 boys (yes 5!) as well as a recovering sugar addict. Whole30 was the catalyst for me to finally reaching a healthy relationship with food and my sugar addiction, and I am thrilled to share that with YOU!

OUR ‘GRAM

Changing my kid’s nutrition was hand down a game

Changing my kid’s nutrition was hand down a game-changer for us. I was totally daunted – how do I keep up with 5 walking stomachs eating GF/DF and minimal refined sugar (paleo-ish)?! But, I had seen so many awesome changes in my health from eating more whole foods and wanted the same for them.

I get it, it’s hard to know where to start.

Join me in this FREE virtual summit with 25+ experts to give you practical and actionable methods, recipes, tips and tricks for improving your kid’s nutrition. Register for free, link in bio. Summit is live January 24-28 and you can watch on your schedule, as it’s pre-recorded.

I encourage you to check out @healthyfood_happykids feed to see the line up of awesome experts including another familiar face many of us love - @pretenditsadonut

BONUS: Those who check out my interview will get an awesome 10 Tips for Picky Eaters I wrote in conjunction with @wholemamasclub – a handout I can’t wait for you to have!

My daily success journal and why I bother: I share

My daily success journal and why I bother: I shared my 20 in 2020 goals. They are overarching goals for the whole year. But how does that translate into motivating me day to day?

This year I merged my morning self-care practices (gratitude, affirmations, and prioritizing my day) with my year long habit goals into a daily journal page, and I am *loving* it. You don’t need a template, just type it up in Word, print it out and put it on your desk.

What does my success journal have in it? - 3 things I am grateful for
- 5 affirmation “I am” statements (things you want to step into and become/manifest)
- Top 3 things to get done today

Plus a morning checklist for reading my scriptures/prayer/making my bed.

Then at the bottom I added a check box for my year long goals that could be tracked daily – drinking my water, daily human connection, developing a reading habit, using my camera more, doing my budget, intentional acts of happiness, and some social media limit monitoring. There’s also a place to brag about other year long goals I chipped at that day.

I thought about buying a journal from a big name, but it’s way more motivating to me to have MY goals on it to track each day. Why is that?

In the fantastic book Atomic Habits, @jamesclear says: “Habit tracking (1) creates a visual cue that can remind you to act, (2) is inherently motivating because you see the progress you are making and don’t want to lose it, and (3) feels satisfying whenever you record another successful instance of your habit. **Habit tracking provides visual proof that you are casting votes for the type of person you want to become.** It’s already doing all of the above.

AIRFRYER BRUSSEL SPROUTS + A VEGGIE HACK – I use

AIRFRYER BRUSSEL SPROUTS + A VEGGIE HACK – I used to think brussel sprouts were 100% disgusting. I had only had them whole and slimy (steamed) and was very turned off.

One of the thing I love about the airfryer is it has helped me and my kiddos come to love new veggies because crispy veggies are where it’s AT. You can also achieve this through a long oven roast at like 425 degrees.

Additionally, great seasonings go a long way with veggies. We love most veggies tossed with olive oil + @traderjoes 21 Seasoning Salute and Garlic salt grinder.

Finally, a veggie hack – I microwave steam many of my denser veggies (brussel sprouts, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli) before I airfry them. This helps cook them all the way through quickly before using the roast to crispify. This includes the steam in a bag broccoli in my freezer that I steam in the bag first then airfry.

So, with my brussel sprouts, I cut them in half, put them in a glass dish, add 1/4 ish cup of water (to create the steam), cover with saran wrap to trap the steam, and then microwave for 6 minutes. Then, I toss with oil and seasoning and only need to be airfried at 325 for 10 minutes to get crispy (375 if you have a basket fryer that doesn’t run as hot as mine). Voila! Brussel sprouts you will fight over. See my stories today for a visual on that process!
