    Creamy Chicken Enchiladas (Healthier version)

      Some nights you just need a comfort food, soul feeding, delicious pan of creamy enchiladas.  It’s been years since I made a pan of enchiladas and to say we were due was an understatement.  As we embark on a 3 week- super healthy fitness & nutrition regimen in prep for our Punta Cana vacation on April 23rd, this was a healthier “last hoorah” as a pre-gift to ourselves for committing to hard work for 3 weeks. Keep in mind, when you lead a healthy lifestyle- you should indulge.  You should have treat meals.  And you shouldn’t restrict yourself- that’s no fun.  Neither is dieting.  Eat to live.  Not the…

    DestiNATION Fit Live Look Into Coaching: March 29th

    If you would’ve told me three years ago I’d be earning my income from home as a coach, helping people achieve their fitness goals, improving my own health as well as my family’s and leading a healthier lifestyle, I wouldn’t have believed you.  This wasn’t the “chosen” path. Or a path that I personally would’ve chosen for myself. I heard about coaching, about becoming a coach, about inspiring others, about the opportunity to build a business from my kitchen table after my kids had gone to bed or early in the morning, and to be honest, I didn’t think it was something I could do.  I had self-doubt. I had…

    Best Year Yet 6 Week Bootcamp – Starts March 13th

      Well. 2017 started out strong. Nutrition was on point. Workout routine was stellar. Then life happened. Real world crept back in and even though I started strong, I’ve been pretty weak as of lately. Easily tempted. Too much 20 and not enough 80… it’s been more like 60/40… and this weekend, 50/50 at best! I just looked at my calendar- our Punta Cana trip is less than 2 months away. So knowing I’m going to be WHOOPING myself into gear – a 6 week bootcamp in prep for the beach is in order- and I want to bring YOU with me. My 6 WEEK BOOTCAMP is going to start…

    Turn Your Fitness Your Business: Building A Successful Coaching Business From Home

    After my 3rd pregnancy I needed a change. My body wasn’t bouncing as fast as I expected it would, despite having a pretty fit and active pregnancy. I was HAULING 3 kids to & from the gym, one was a tiny baby, and I was putting in an hour of work each time, and being pulled from my workouts to nurse a baby or change a diaper, and just couldn’t get into the groove. On top of that I was going back to nursing school full-time… my life was CHAOS. I was depressed, stressed, unhealthy, eating like garbage, and just didn’t feel good about the frustrated, chaotic, anxious person that…

    Love the Skin You’re In: 30 Days to the Best Version of You

    What does it take to live and love from a place of worthiness?  How do we embrace imperfection? How do we cultivate what we need and let go of what’s holding us back? Owning our story can be difficult, but not as difficult as running from it. And often we fear we’re not worthy enough. I’ll be worthy if I lose 20 lbs. I’ll be worthy if I get that job. I’ll be worthy if I find the one. I’ll be worthy if I make x amount of money. I’ll be worthy if I look a certain way. I’ll be worthy if I have certain things. But how many of…

    BLT Burger- Whole 30 Approved

      Day 24 of Whole 30 and I still haven’t had bacon.  Not that there’s anything against bacon.  I just know how much of it I’ll eat.  It’s shameful.  We haven’t kept it in the house for a long time for that very reason.   But with less than a week left, it’s time to indulge.  And I wanted a burger.  Something gourmet but not too fancy.  I’m still in workout clothes anyway so you know, just fancy enough.   So we grilled some amazing chicken burgers seasoned with rosemary on the grill.   While those were grilling I roasted some fresh kale in the oven, seasoned with a dash…
