“Something weird happened… I walked around stop and shop and had no desire to buy or eat anything that wasn’t a whole food or considered clean” This morning I had to substitute teach Body Pump at 6am for one of my friends so I had a banana on my way in (I’m really trying notContinue reading “Something weird happened today…”

Sweets everywhere😓
Today was the first day back to work after 4 days off – so you can imagine that I was less than excited to get back to my routine. Despite cookies and holiday goodies still making their way around the hospital (I work for a very high paced specialty animal hospital that seems to moonlightContinue reading “Sweets everywhere😓”
Food journal: the beginning
I mentioned this morning that I was starting a new plan. The plan consists of eating mostly vegetables and lean protein. I’m not counting calories or macros because in my experience doing these things tends to exacerbate my binge eating disorder. So, without further ado – here’s what I’ve eaten today. Woke up: around 7-7:30amContinue reading “Food journal: the beginning”
Spending the day with my pups & new diet plans
Today has been a pretty standard day – woke up, walked the dogs, watered the Christmas tree 🎄, and ate breakfast. Breakfast wasn’t too standard though … I’m trying someone “new”!! Breakfast today was 1/2 cup egg whites, 1/4 cup shaved Brussels sprouts, 2tbsp shredded taco cheese, 1/2 grapefruit, and a packet of steviaContinue reading “Spending the day with my pups & new diet plans”
Spending more time with my pets…

I probably took a week off after my injury, and then went back to training – pretty much back to normal. I spent about a month in theContinue reading “I’ve decided not to compete”
Diet & workout plan
In an effort to be completely transparent, I want to share with you my plan for the next 7 weeks. My powerlifting comp is approaching a bit faster than I thought and my weight has been pretty stagnant – mostly because I have yet to really do the plan I set up. (Funny how thatContinue reading “Diet & workout plan”
Crossfit to PowerliftingÂ
What I’ve learned in the last 6 months of crossfit can be summarized in one sentence: as long as you’re always working hard, you will crush your goals! There’s no denying that my fitness goals are always evolving, I started 6 years ago with the couch to 5k program and over the last few yearsContinue reading “Crossfit to Powerlifting “
A New Direction…
As a group fitness instructor I’m asked almost daily the same simple question – what should I eat? My answer is usually something like this: In general to eat healthy – eat mostly vegetables, berries and fruit, more veggies than berries and more berries than fruit – healthy fats and protein like salmon, avocado, coconut oils,Continue reading “A New Direction…”
Barbells For Boobs
Yesterday I participated in the Barbells for Boobs fundraiser at the crossfit box affiliate that I have been going to since May. I was super excited about this fundraiser as the barbells for boobs organization uses the money that they receive to help in the prevention of breast cancer. Breast cancer affects so many peopleContinue reading “Barbells For Boobs”
