It’s a new week and a new beginning. Today I kicked off my 9 day nutritional reset and also began my 8-week healthy mind and body program. I am in much need of a reset and some mental healing. As much as I try and motivate you all to live a healthy and positive life,…
Salted Caramel Mixed Nuts
Holy moly I feel like it has been forever since I last posted a recipe! It kind of has, since last week. My only excuse is #life. I have gotten a bit side tracked and off track from my normal routine and it is starting to bite me in the ass. I feel like a…
Trot, Gobble, Repeat Thanksgiving Workout
Happy Thanksgiving Eve! I am changing things up a tad this week and sharing my weekly workout early because I want you all to have an option to get up and move tomorrow before feasting all day with the fam jam. One of the best things you can do mentally for yourself on Thanksgiving is to…

Front Squat Booty Gains
Fitness and health is a journey and I’ve been on my fitness journey for 4 plus years now (not counting high school athletics or my college years).

But, my kitchen says otherwise. The next couple weeks I am sharing all Thanksgiving inspired recipes in hopes to inspire some of you to have…
Kettlebell and Burpee AMRAP
Injuries are no fun and they are even worse when they can’t be avoided. If you read my post from yesterday, I talked about the car accident I was in earlier this week and that I was lucky enough to walk away with only whiplash. But man oh man, I haven’t been able to workout…

Two days ago I was involved in a serious car accident that resulted in my and the other driver’s vehicle being totaled. I was lucky enough to walk away from the…
Apple Crisp
I was called “high maintenance” the other week when I was ordering food at a restaurant. I was invited out to a Japanese restaurant with some co-workers and other people that I didn’t know. Because I know my body, what makes it feel good and what makes me feel like ish I ordered the chicken…
