Pep talk below…⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I promise you’ll get there. And know that you’re not alone in your frustration.⁠⠀⁠⠀ ⁠⠀⁠⠀ But LASTING weight loss, done the right way, takes TIME. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀⁠⠀ A lot of time, actually. ⁠⠀⁠⠀ ⁠⠀⁠⠀ Because you’re not crash dieting just to gain the weight back again. You’re taking a purposeful, slow-and-steady approach, so you don’t need to ride the “weight loss roller coaster” again and again. ⁠⠀⁠⠀ ⁠⠀⁠⠀ Weight loss is…

But there’s also a kind of beauty in it too.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ We don’t want pain. We try to mask it with medication, distraction, etc., but the healing process is still happening and our body, whether we feel it fully or not, is still going through the steps.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I wish there was recovery without pain, but as I’ve learned with UC/chronic illness, the emotional, mental, and physical pain of recovery is just par for the…

I wanted to share a workout that I’m loving lately. It’s a combination of strength training with some cardio mixed in, so you get a nice pump and sweat at the same time. This is honestly my favorite way to work out! 🙂 Here’s the workout: 4-5 SETS 10 Romanian Deadlifts 10 Floor Presses 10 Swings 10 Tall Kneel to Standing (add weight for more of a challenge) 10 Crush Grip Rows 10 Swings Rest…

Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Certification Review I’ve been coaching for a long time now. And in that time, I’ve worked with thousands of clients. Some of them have pretty straightforward weight loss goals, and the plan I create for them works without a hitch. But for a lot of them? They have more advanced weight loss needs. They have some level of metabolism, hormonal, or gut health issues that have become a significant contributing factor to…

I’m an Enneagram 3. And that means I’m an achiever, so I’m always ‘doing’. In addition, I have a chronic autoimmune disease (ulcerative colitis), and if you or someone you know has one as well, then you know how important ‘doing’ is to a lot of us. During the recent Real Talk Summit, it seemed like a common trait we all shared.  During this pandemic, we’ve spent a lot of time at home, so work…

Growing up, one of my favorite comfort foods was a cheeseburger from my Grampie’s grill. Nothing said summer like playing with my favorite cousins at my grandparents’ pool. Then we would air dry in the sun with a freshly grilled cheeseburger in my hand. Those were the best days ever. I had so much fun and the burgers were so good, which gave me the inspiration for a Macro-Friendly Throwback Cheeseburger Casserole. I promise you,…

Thinking back to my early 20s, I didn’t understand how important food was to my health. I know, it probably sounds ridiculous to say now, but hear me out… ⁠ Back then, I ate sandwich thins, Light ‘N’ Fit yogurt, and 100-calorie packs of cookies. I was only concerned about the calorie count, and it honestly didn’t matter one bit that the ingredients and nutritional profile of these “foods” was artificial junk. ⁠ Fast forward…

From a Simple Switchel to a Classic Margarita or Mojito, ditch the booze in January with these delicious macro-friendly mocktail recipes. Now that the holiday season is behind us, many of us tend to focus on our health. Oftentimes, this means the urge to eat all the sugar and drink all the cocktails is behind us. The holidays can be an indulgent (and fun!) season, but it often leaves us not feeling our best. The…

Have you tried protein balls? I’m pretty much obsessed with them. They’re probably my most favorite, easy-to-make snacks. I make a bunch, throw them in some tightly sealed tupperware, and place them in the fridge. They’re really tasty and I can just grab one or two here and there before a workout or on my way to school pick-up to keep my carpool lane patience in check! Now I have found a new favorite in…
