Hi sexy sisters, welcome back to the Sexyfit podcast!

I’m beyond excited today because I’m bringing you the nicest, most kind, giving and caring person I’ve met. Her name is Erin Woodbury and all of her wisdom in this episode is mind-blowing.

Erin has been a group exercise instructor for 15 years and served as a Master Trainer for 4 years. She’s a cast member for several fitness infomercials and TV shows, and currently balances her love of fitness with her passion for nutrition as a celebrity media chef for Quest Nutrition and as a freelancer for several blogs and TV personalities, creating fun and healthy recipes for press, social media, cook books and at live demo events. She's a certified nutrition consultant, a wife, and mom to 3 super-fit kids.

In this episode we discussed how healthy eating and eating for fitness can be completely different. We spoke about healthy substitutions for holiday snacks, the swaps we can make in our baking and the best healthy food gifts. With holidays approaching, this is an important topic as we don’t want to lose all the hard work we’ve been doing for 11 months in just one month.
