Back to school is around the corner. Do you have a back to school meal plan? For you? Your kids’ meals? If memory serves, there’s going to be a lot of drive through McDonald’s and stress eating because, “it was a crazy week.” (insert my eye roll here.) I love ya, but I also want …
On my day 1 I was 26 years old, a new mom, working full time, 138-140 lbs, soft, and super tired. I ran a 1-3 mile loop sporadically whenever a jolt of motivation would hit me. I rarely ate breakfast (because I was usually not hungry from over eating the night before.) I ate a …
My kiddos have outgrown the pool. At almost 17 and 12, they’ve lost interest in spending their entire summer cannon balling off the diving board and swimming aimlessly from end to end with goggles they’d surely lose by the end of the day. However, back in 2017 when I originally wrote this post, spending short …
Happy 2022. If you’re like most people, you might be feeling the immense anxiety of 2-3 months of solid partying and forgetting about some of the pillars that keep you looking and feeling Hot, Healthy and Happy.

People ask me, how do I have time… uhm, I don’t… but that’s not going to stop me. Ya’ll, the fast paced life that we seem to endlessly criticize, we’ve purposefully designed and secretly enjoy. Positive psychology research tells us that people have fun REACHING for a goal more than accomplishing the goal. In other words, we …

THEIR NOT CHANGING THEIR WORKOUTS DAILY: So let me explain… If you’re NOT working out and all of a sudden you begin working out, cherry picking a new workout you found on Instagram daily WILL absolutely change your body.

Do this instead… HOMEWORK below… I don’t care how S.M.A.R.T. your goal is, “I will lose 7 lbs in 8 weeks” ain’t nothin’ but a DESIRE. It’s an outcome. It’s not actually a GOAL! Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, about the Specificity, Measurability,Attainability, Relevancy, or Timeliness of that goal drives results. Results are achieved through consistent ACTIONS. This …
