What a Monday! Do you believe in karma? I don’t necessarily believe in karma, but I believe that good people will be blessed with amazing things and not given anything they can’t handle. Life can be going along holly and jolly and all of a sudden you are smacked in the face and dropped on…
Hotel Gym Workout
I am finally back home after traveling since Monday. Most hotels these days have fitness centers, but most hotel fitness centers are very limited with the equipment unfortunately. But, that didn’t stop me from getting in my workouts and it shouldn’t ever stop you either! All it takes is a little planning and creativity to…
Trail Mix Chocolate Bark
Happy Wednesday! I have been in Baltimore since Monday and won’t be heading home until tomorrow night. Being here (for work) has forced me to get out of my normal routine and into a new one. I typically workout in the late afternoons at home, but with a packed scheduled here in Baltimore I have…
Bacon and Potatoes Breakfast Egg Muffins
Do you eat breakfast on a regular basis? Breakfast is something I can’t live without and most days is my favorite meal of the day. I typically eat the same two breakfasts throughout the week because they are convenient for me to take to work and I love it. The breakfast I have most often…
Rise N Grind Phoenix Workout
Last week I was lucky enough to spend a few days in the sunny Phoenix Arizona with a whole crew of motivated, happy and healthy people! Each day we started the morning off with a sweat session and if you remember at the end of last summer I talked about my experience in Vegas for…
Steamed Green Beans in a Balsamic Reduction
Do you ever get in a slump for no reason? No matter what, you can’t seem to be in a happy joyful mood, your motivation lacks or you just don’t feel like your normal self? And then, all of a sudden something amazing happens and you immediately snap out of it? Truthfully, I have been…
French Toast Smoothie
I could eat French toast, waffles or pancakes just about every day but ain’t nobody got time for that. So instead, I thought to myself, what is something I eat often, enjoy and takes little time to make? Ding ding ding, smoothies of course! I have a smoothie almost every morning because it is quick,…
25 Minute AMRAP
Good morning from Phoenix Arizona! I am in AZ for the weekend at a health and wellness conference. Today, our morning kicked off real early with a group workout at 5am on a rooftop at a hotel. Whenever I travel, I like to do some sort of workouts each day just to get my body…
Crockpot Chicken Wild Rice Soup
It’s a gloomy Wednesday here in the midwest and everyone is prepping for a big snow storm tomorrow. I absolutely love snow because it gives you a bunch of things to do in the dreaded winter months. If there isn’t any snow, what the heck are you supposed to do? But, this is just my…
Open Faced Tuna Salad Sandwich
I saw this quote this morning and need to share it with you all because it is something I try and coach my clients on. The decent method you follow is better than the “perfect” one you quit. I myself used to be guilty of this. I would be 110 percent on point with my nutrition…
