Let’s build something new
Being a mom doesn't mean you get to take a backseat. It means you get to create a NEW foundation for yourself and your family. I've used the phrase, "Let's get you back to your pre-pregancy body" when talking to myself, my clients, and also in my copy. And I want to...
Have you ever based your decisions on someone else’s opinions?
I know I have... and I still catch myself from time to time. It was about 8 months after having Jace and I was on my way to get my hair cut. I felt like a brand new person, with a brand new mindset, a brand new body and I needed a change. I wanted something bold. I...
I want to gain 20 pounds…
Said no woman ever. You simply cannot use the scale as your only way to judge your progress. If you asked me in my 20's what weight I wanted to be at, I would've told you between 120 and 125 pounds. Now I weigh right around 145 and I would take this body that I have...
Cauliflower Tots
I’ve never been fan of riced cauliflower and it’s always one of the last veggies on the veggie trays (celery being the first), but it was suggested that I try to use the rest of my batch and make cauliflower tots and let me tell you, what a genius idea! Here’s the...
What lights you up?
Before I found lifting I had a lot of friends that did yoga, which led me to think that I should probably do that too, because every one else was doing it... and while yoga is awesome and it has many benefits, I wasn’t in love with it. I fell hard and fast— I...
Resistance
What comes to my mind when I hear that word? Hard. Effort. Push. Exhausting. Frustrating. This week has been a tough one. I've been stepping outside of my comfort zone a lot more than I usually do. Creating new challenges, contributing as a guest blogger, posting more...
Is it true, can girls really do pull-ups?
I cut this phrase out of a magazine and glued it to my vision board in January 2015. At the time I could only do 1 pull-up and I was determined to set this as my new goal. At this time I had also been coaching women on their nutrition & fitness for 3 years and I...
I am enough and you are too.
"I am not a good wife. I am not a good mother. I am not happy. I am not successful." These were the thoughts that were going through my mind while I was waiting for my turn to break my board. As I waited, I stood there watching and listening to everyone cheer loudly...
Sweet Potato Fries
If you're craving french fries, try these— it's a great substitute!! 1. Peel sweet potatoes. 2. Cut into 1/4 inch pieces. 3. Toss with olive oil, salt, & pepper (or any other flavoring you want). 4. Bake at 450 for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. It's a great...
Lift, Love, Mom, Repeat.™
I was convinced I didn’t want kids. Motherhood was something that I never thought was for me. I told myself it was because I was afraid of what pregnancy would do to my body. I was afraid of what it would do to my freedom. I didn’t want to lose who I was. I was...
