Hi, I am Maureen. I am a 42-year-old wife, mother to 3, full-time special ed. teacher, and nutrition & macro coach. I used to say that I was busy, until I heard something that resonated with me. We are all busy, so instead of saying that, I say, "I am living a full life." And let me tell you…my life is full!
I am a Northern Virginia native (right outside of DC) and my husband and I are high school sweethearts. We’ve been married for almost 17 years, and I’m not going to lie, we have an incredible marriage, and we dream about the day we’ll be empty nesters!
I started a private Instagram account 6 years ago after I had my third baby and wanted to get back to working out. I had about 25 followers. We all did the same workouts and used Instagram for accountability. Eventually I got tired of putting in so much physical work without seeing my body change. I wasn’t chasing skinny, but I also wasn’t seeing any muscle.
That’s when I started to learn about macros. I listened to podcasts, read books, followed coaches online, hired coaches, and finally started to see my body change. I was eating the food I love, trying new things, lifting heavier, prioritizing my health, and basically kicking ass. I loved it so much I decided to become a certified nutrition coach, and I loved that so much I got another certification in macro coaching.
I knew that I had to teach other women how to take control of their nutrition in a sustainable way without dieting all the time and begin miserable. That’s when I started coaching.
I use Instagram and now this brand new blog to show a real-life account of a 40 something working mom trying to live her healthiest life while staying (mostly) sane. And I’m so happy you’re here!
I am not like other coaches.
I don’t have 1 million followers.
I don’t workout with full hair, makeup and fake lashes and fake tits busting out of my crop top. I work out at 5 AM and look like hell most of the time, and I’m not afraid to post about it.
I don’t have a six pack and never will. Not a goal of mine.
I don’t promote anything I don’t believe in and use myself.
My food pics suck! LOL. I’m not a photog, I don’t have backdrops or a new all white kitchen. I use what I have and eat the food I cook.
Sometimes I get off track…like way off track.
I drink when I want to, and occasionally more than I should.
My kids are picky AF and more often than not I end up cooking them a separate meal. Sorry, not sorry.
We use paper plates.
I get anxious and overwhelmed, and have terrible insomnia.
Yes, my lips are real.
I use shortcuts in the kitchen whenever I can. I also grow some of my own veggies…it’s called balance.
I make no apologies for being here, being myself, and showing up every day.
If you want to know how to make changes to your health and nutrition, as a real woman with a full life, you’re in the right place.
If you want to see more from me, epically what I’m cooking and eating along with tons of free nutrition tips, follow me on Instagram @macros.with.maureen.
If you want to work with me, I have 3 upcoming workshops, classes, and groups. All the info is on my website and my Instagram. Have questions? Just ask, I am always happy to help.
Thanks for being here!
XO
Maureen
