'Stress Eating' in Isolation + Pregnancy & Postnatal Nutrition
Endless snacks... sugar... salt... alcohol... processed food... comfort foods… of all stripes, really… have been the ‘drug of choice’ for many of us all over the world during Covid 19 and home isolation.
Of course Strong Sexy Mammas exercise can give us a nice endorphins rush… but even if we are sticking to our 15-30 minute workouts… exercise is only part of the equation isn’t it?
How are you feeling about many of the stay-at-home orders being lifted? What about our alternative? Being stuck inside the house during this pandemic? Anybody else feeling a little anxious or sluggish from being out of your normal routine?

Christiana can be seen in one of our ‘Baby Involved’ Strong Sexy Mammas workouts. We met in one of the group fitness classes I teach in Bondi Beach. We immediately bonded over babies… my Brooks and her Georgia are about the same age. Christiana has a newborn at home and I am currently 40 weeks pregnant with Baby Girl!
Personally - what’s been my struggle is reaching for choices that I normally would keep as a treat. My FAV excuse has been… “the baby made me do it!” or… “the baby wanted that chocolate!” or… “I’m eating for two.”
Processed foods can be sooo yummy, tempting, and comforting… but in the end… it’s the whole foods that boost our mood while fueling our mind and body.

I find myself eating more crap than I normally would simply because we haven’t been going to the grocery store as often to avoid ‘the germs.’ But I have to say, now I’m sick of the junk and I’m like… “Gimme alllll the fruit and veg you can find!”
