MVT & Metabolic Tech

Happy Thursday Friends!  I hope your having a fantastic week so far!  I’ve got a couple of things to share with you that I’m super excited about, so let’s jump into yesterday.  I’m still rocking the chorizo and sweet potato for breakfast while I study in the morning.  It’s a delicious combination ready for me to eat without dirtying any dishes, gotta love that.

Now for the exciting news, during our weekly meeting I was awarded Most Valuable Trainer for the month of of December!

The award was based on excelling in the Know It. Nourish It. categories.  I can’t tell you how excited I am to have won, it reinforces what I feel more and more every day.  This is the perfect job for me and I couldn’t be happier.  I mean who couldn’t be happier when you get to be a part of things like this at work….

Lunch came right after the meeting, another adult lunchable (grassfed bison, avocado, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots and snap peas).  The picture is recycled, I didn’t have the yogurt, I actually had it with me but forgot to eat it!

Another exciting announcement is I passed the Metabolic Technician Certification.  I can now perform resting metabolic assessments, active metabolic assessments, and provide metabolic coaching plans.  I love being an RD, but I also love exercise and science.  I love that my job gives me an opportunity to help people understand how their bodies work from the inside out in order to create change.  Moving on I snacked on aKIND bar late afternoon (yogurt had gone bad by then I figured) which carried me through till dinner. (Recycled photo, it was actually Vanilla Madagascar.)

I did a few intervals on the treadmill, nothing too exciting (90 secs jog, one min walk).  Hey, it’s a start though, I’ll take it!  Dinner was two chicken sausages and leftover roasted delicata squash at like 9:30pm.

 I’ve started working out after work so I can study/blog in the morning, so far the schedule works well except sometimes I end up eating way later than I would like.  One thing I’ve noticed is eating later cut down on my late night snacking, so that’s a good thing!

Have a great day!
