Your experiences matter.
This week has been good. It’s been weird, but good. I dusted off my dresses and found the rest of my bobby pins – this is what got me mentally in the game. It was nice to have a break from sheath dresses, heels and shaking hands, but I’ve been ready for that break to… Continue reading Day 179, Quote 17: “You’re halfway there”
What is good enough? At what point does being proud of yourself matter more than the pride others project onto you? I just don’t know. Me neither. I’ve been thinking about this post for a really long time, but it took a first check-in with a new client to decide to say yes and write… Continue reading Day 174, Quote 16: “I just don’t know”
When I started competing I thought I had to eat every few hours. This was something that I had read about, but more importantly (at the time) it was something that I saw over and over again in practice online. For me, every few hours meant every three hours. I was on a cycle of… Continue reading Wellness Refocused Education: Snacking intentionally
No one is immune. There are some things we just don’t grow out of, no matter how much we want to or how hard we try. For some, it may be hard to look in the mirror and see the person standing in front of them instead of the person they used to be.

I won't lie, whenever I see smoothie bowls online I am always envious because they also look delicious and perfectly put together. I don't know about you, but fruit doesn't keep me very full so it's something I typically pair with something else. I may have berries in my oats or a banana with my… Continue reading Recipe: Smoothie bowl
One of my clients and I were talking about oats the other day. She said she had to eat steel cut oats, and I asked, “why do they HAVE to be steel cut?” She said well they’re healthier for you. I told her that wasn’t necessarily true. So, let’s talk oats – what’s the difference… Continue reading Wellness Refocused Education: Steel Cut Oats v. Rolled Oats
We're shifting. I've been running on movie quotes this year and JP and I have been watching A LOT of movies. The spring was tough and there were more date night's in,s o we revisited some of our favorites and found some new ones. Some inspired me and struck something that made me want to… Continue reading Day 159, Quote 14: “Brave does not mean…”
In part 1 we discussed how there are two categories of vitamins: fat soluble and water soluble. We dove into fat soluble vitamins in part 1. We talked about what they are, where they come from and what can happen if you get too much or don't get enough. This post is about water soluble… Continue reading Wellness Refocused Education: Vitamins Part 2
Guys, it's hot outside, which means it's hot inside. It's not just hot, it's humid and muggy. Last year when we moved into our apartment, aside from the fitness center, one of the outdoor amenities that really excited us, was the grilling. We have access to both charcoal and gas grills. While charcoal is perfect… Continue reading Recipe: Grilled Chicken Shawarma Skewers
It’s officially June and I honestly don’t know how we got here so fast. Five months have never escaped my grasp so quickly. Are you feeling that way at all? As I think about where the time went, I’m trying harder to look forward and think about all the time left. We can’t control how… Continue reading Day 153 :Movie Quote 13: “Almost There”
