this past weekend, lifestyle priorities as a mom, weight gain on Lexapro, fat loss plateau, & more!

In this week's episode, I recap the latest in pop culture: Travis Kelce's performance in London, Justin Timberlake's DUI, the "Brat Girl Summer" trend, the new Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders series on Netflix, and my thoughts on digital detoxes. Plus, I'll be answering your questions!
1. What aspects of your lifestyle would stay a priority to you if you became a mother?
2. If you had a client with fat to lose and is on lower calories but not losing, what do you do? Their body isn't responding...and I don’t want to go lower calorically or have room for more activity. Spending time at maintence and diet again down the road? How do you approach this?
3. Since starting Lexapro in March, I’ve gained 10lbs. I haven’t changed anything else (eat 3 large meals, lift 3-4x/week, etc.), & I’m feeling defeated. Of course I’m sticking with the Lexapro bc it’s been amazing for my anxiety, But I would also like to drop this 10lbs. Not sure what to do:(
4. Favourite Taylor Swift era?
5. If pregnant, can you gain meaningful muscle since you're eating in a calorie surplus?
6. Does it really matter what we eat after training, I’ve heard fast glycemic should be consumed but I do love oats and fruit.
7. If someone were to up their calories to go into a slight surplus for building muscle, should the process be slow and gradual or go for it?
