Happiest of Mondays to you! I don’t know what is going on, but Wisconsin decided to skip fall and go straight to winter. It’s quite depressing considering I am home on maternity leave and completely cooped up. I envisioned my maternity leave full of walks, hikes, orchards, and other fun fall activities. But instead, here…
Kettlebell Metcon
Happy Friday! I can’t believe it is Friday already. Being home on maternity leave I didn’t expect my days to go by so quickly. On a happier note, in two more weeks I can start getting back to the gym and into a workout routine again! I am starting to really crave working out. I…
Pumpkin and Banana Flaxseed Oatmeal Casserole
What motivates you? As I am getting used to a new normal and way of life I am realizing my motivations are changing. When I first started my health and fitness journey years ago all I cared about was looking better. I was chasing after aesthetic goals. Actually, up until getting pregnant I cared a…
Vanilla Apple Pie Smoothie
It’s a brand new week full of new opportunities, choices and actions. Consistently creating positive opportunities, making healthy choices and actions is the key to living a healthy lifestyle.

Russet Potato Wedges

Single Serve Apple Crisp
Happiest of Mondays to you! It’s going to be a busy week for us because my husband and I are both in a wedding on Friday. Typically, it would be no big deal but now we have a newborn thrown in the mix. It may be a busy couple days once the wedding festivities kick…
The Spartan 100
Hello hello and happy Friday! I am two weeks postpartum and have a good four weeks to go before getting back into the gym. Full honesty, taking this time off from working out is mentally tough for me. Before and during pregnancy I would workout 4-5 times a week and was extremely active whenever I…
Roasted Beet and Cauliflower Hummus
Happy Wednesday! I can’t believe almost two weeks of my maternity leave is almost gone. Only 10 more weeks to soak in constant baby snuggles, lounge in my PJs while working on the blog and nutrition coaching and having the freedom to do what I want! I keep telling me husband that I don’t want…
Crockpot Beef Round Roast
Hello to a new week! I have been home after delivering baby A for over a week now and I must say, I could get used to this whole stay at home mom gig. We have settled into a nice little routine, we are learning her cues and her personality is developing more and more…
