I used to be terrified of taking a day off from working out. It would kind of eat me up inside… almost like it was something I needed to check off my To Do list for the day. And it was even worse if I splurged on my nutrition AND missed a workout. Gasp! I’d feel guilty and bad about myself until I got my next workout in. If you’ve been following me any length…

Why don’t the calories and the macros in MyFitnessPal match? Fun fact! Did you know that food manufacturers are allowed to round the calories on their labels? They can round these numbers down as much as 20-25%. That means, the 1 cup serving of salty chips that say 100 calories may ACTUALLY have closer to 120 calories based on the macros.⁠ The macros in MyFitnessPal, which are based on the actual accurate macros that food…

I am so excited to share this fun project with you: 24 Days of Togetherness PDF! I was inspired to make it after almost buying a neat advent calendar from Starbucks several years ago. Each day of the calendar was filled with chocolate or another fun surprise, so it was a lot more festive than the cheap-y ones I usually buy from Walgreens or CVS, but it came at a price. The Starbucks advent calendar…

Hi, friends! I can’t believe Thanksgiving is next week! Usually, I’m not one to rush the holiday season, but I am so ready for it this year. My schedule is already filling up with holiday parties and get-togethers, and I’m sure you’re in the same boat, so I wanted to share two of my go-to tips for staying consistent over the holidays. Ok, ok… I’m sure you’ve heard these kinds of tips one million times…

Here’s mine…⁠⠀ It was Christmas 1990, and I was 10-years-old. I vaguely remember my friends saying that Santa wasn’t real.. and then (of course) I told my sister because I thought I was so cool for knowing the truth. I also remember snooping in my mom’s bedroom closet and stumbling upon a whole bunch of presents that I put on my Christmas list, so I knew something was up.⁠⠀ So, by the time Christmas rolled…

Hi friends, happy Friday – the 13th! It’s time for another round of The Friday 5!

Ready to hear the #1 mistake women make with diets? Let me ask you a few questions first! How long have you been on a diet? 6 months? 6 years? Your whole life? Day after day, month after month, and year after year. You are counting calories, cutting portions, and drinking water to ‘fill yourself up’?⁠ If so, then you’re approaching weight loss all wrong.⁠ And that’s why you’re not seeing the results you want.⁠…

Are you a Type-A perfectionist when it comes to nutrition and fitness, but you’re still struggling to get to your body composition goals? ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ If you answered YES, you are not alone.⁠⠀ In the video below, I talk all about my experience being a Type-A exerciser and how I changed my thinking around my workouts. It wasn’t easy, and it definitely didn’t happen overnight, but I am in a much happier and healthier place…

Hi friends, happy Friday! It’s time for another round of The Friday 5!

I hope you find these sports bra recommendations for busty ladies to be helpful to your search!  Good morning! I started my day with a delicious batch of overnight oats with fresh berries and chia seeds. It was de-lic-ious. Recipe here! I also enjoyed a Hawaiian Chocolate Nut iced coffee from Marylou’s. (This photo is actually from yesterday, but I…

The Instant Pot Meatloaf recipe you NEED in your life right now Funny story for you… I was actually AFRAID to use my Instant Pot when I first ordered it. I saw it on all the food bloggers’ sites and because I was a healthy living food blogger, I figured I had to have one too. Makes sense, right? So, when Black Friday rolled around, into my cart it went. It arrived. I opened it…
