Ditching the diet culture. There is more work to do.
“Doesn’t it get old??” Said the snarky message in my inbox… Does what get old?? “Posting about your “fitness journey” and talking about what you do as a coach all the time?” No and here’s why… ***drags out soapbox, clears throat *** Until women stop buying into the claim that a magic pill or spoonful of something or “waist shrinking” product, or try this powder and it magically blasts your body fat away, or “hide your cellulite with this product”… And until other women stop trying to dupe others by pushing garbage products that prey on others and continue to feed into the diet culture BS… There is more work…

30 Day Shift… Spring Clean Your Mind, Body, and Soul
What Can You Do in 30 Days… As a fitness and nutrition coach, especially this time of year, I’m often asked, “How can I get it together in time for summer?” I have two answers. First, release yourself of the stress of “getting it together” in time for summer. There’s no rule that says we have to get it together. Society puts too much pressure on having a “bikini body” for summer. Want a bikini body for summer? Put a bikini on your body. Enjoy your summer. Goal achieved. Second, focus on daily habits that create an achievable lifestyle and help you to achieve both short and long term results…

The BEST Breakfast Wrap!
Mushrooms… yay? Or nay? I’m a total yay. In my eggs, soup, on my pizza. In tacos- y’all Mission Taco Joint has THE BEST portobello mushroom tacos! I’m a sucker for all things mushrooms.

Last 90 Days- End of 2020 Challenge!
Imagine this… What if we lived out the last 90 days of this year with the mindset we have at the beginning of the year… All of those January 1st things… “I’m going to make this year my best yet.”“I’m FINALLY going to get through that workout program.”“I’m going to drop those last 15 lbs.”“I’m not going to give up on myself.”“I’m going to accomplish ___________.”“I’m going to finish this year a stronger, happier, healthier person.” But what happens? Life gets in the way. I mean, I don’t want to bring it up, but this year has been a total doozy. We’re all exhausted. We’re all just trying to get…

The Best Grilled Fish Tacos
Move over taco truck!!! This momma made the BEST tacos!!! And y’all know me, I’m picky as hell about my tacos. So I needed to make my own! I was CRAVING restaurant quality tacos with all the fixings but without the $50 takeout price too. Now, let me warn you. I’m not fancy. I’m no Martha Stewart. But I’m all for creating healthier, more affordable, delicious meals that our family will eat… except tonight when they asked for eggs but they did try a bite of everything and didn’t complain- Annie even loved it. 😂 I used a yummy amberjack my husband Luke caught fishing in Florida, busted out my grill…

Hidden Veggie- No Boil Lasagna
That signature recipe. My mom always told me, “You need to have that one recipe. The one that you can serve for anyone, anytime, and it’s always a hit. Whether your priest is coming over for dinner, you’re taking a meal to a new mom friend, and you want to pass down to your kiddos and grand-kiddos.” I’m pretty sure this might be it. It’s only taken me years to “perfect” it, but after tonight’s dinner, I think it’s safe to say that it’s blog-worthy and something I should share with the world. What made my night tonight is that not only did my husband have seconds, but my children…

The BEST Banana Bread Recipe
I vowed to use this time at home to bake more with the girls. Their most recent request was for a super gooey, chocolate chip filled banana bread. And where I’ve made good banana breads in the past I was determined to make THE recipe that would wow them and assure that not one crumb would go to waste. This. Is. It. Gooey. Buttery. Full of flavor. And better than any I’ve made before. We hope you enjoy this as much as we have! Let me know what you think! Ingredients: 3 mashed, ripe bananas 1/4 c wildflower honey3 eggs1 cup old fashioned oats4 tbsp butter, softened2 tbsp organic cane…

Pesto Shrimp Zoodle Bowl
What’s my favorite kind of lunch? One that takes less than 10 minutes, is packed with flavor, and aligns with my fitness and nutrition goals too. This is one of my favorites. Quick. Healthy. Delicious. And minimal ingredients. The added bonus is that at least one of my kids will eat it too! Today’s lunch (and I made a double batch so tomorrow’s meal too) is one of my favorites for a combination of yummy flavors, is a great addition to any weekly meal prep, or can be a simple dinner for two as well. Zoodles make for a delicious alternative to a heavy carbohydrate pasta. Now, don’t get me…

My 21 Day Detox Results Are In!!!
🌿🌱 21 DAY DETOX RESULTS ARE IN!!!! 🌱🌿 Oh my gosh I. Feel. Amazing!!!!!!! In the last three weeks I am dow 8.6 pounds. I have lost a total of 3 inches around my waist/midsection. The amount of bloat that I’ve shed is unreal. And I’ve either decreased or eliminated my mindless snacking, sugar cravings, dependency on that nightly handful of chocolate chips or a need for a glass of wine several nights/wk. And I gained sooooo much knowledge about my own nutrition habits and how my body responds to food. For the past 3 weeks I followed a food-focused nutrition and gut detox plan. I’ve eliminated sugar. Caffeine was removed. I haven’t…
