The holiday weekend is almost here! I’d rather it be here right now, but alas, we have a few more days to go yet. Are you already thinking about all your eats for the extended weekend? Because I am! Lets be serious, I’ve been thinking about our July 4th menu since last week. #noshame I…
At Home Full Body Workout
Happy Friday fitness fam! If you aren’t into social media and don’t follow me on instagram or facebook, you may not have seen this at home full body workout I posted last weekend. The best part about this workout is that it can be done ANYWHERE. Living room, garage, gym, yard, hotel room and so…
What the heck is a Macro?
At this point, I am sure many of you have heard the word “macro” because it has become widely talked about recently. Well, what in the hell is a macro that the fitness industry keeps talking about. The word macro is short for macronutrients which consists of food calories from protein, fat and carbs. They…
Strawberry Banana Muffins
I’m going to be blunt here, leading a healthy life is.not.hard. It will only be as difficult as you make it. There are people out there that make excuse after excuse why they can’t workout or why they can’t eat healthier. They claim they are so busy and just don’t have the time. You know…
Bacon Cucumber Tomato Avocado Salad with a Lime Dressing
Life is good, guys. Ever since my show ended I have been just loving on life. I am filling my belly with yummy food, packing my weekends full of family and friends and enjoying every moment of it. But, that doesn’t mean I am going all hog wild and getting off track with my nutrition…
And That’s a Wrap!
Gah! It has been so long and I am so sorry! I have successfully completed my first bodybuilding show and guys, it was a pretty awesome experience. I’m not going to lie and say it was easy or the best thing ever. It wasn’t. But, it also wasn’t the worst thing either. Let’s start with…
Brooke’s Daily Eats
Before diving into the nitty gritty of what I eat in a day (I know you guys are just dyyyying to know) I want to throw a quick disclaimer out there – this is my typical eats on my prep! This was a low carb day for me so yes, my meals do change slightly…
3 Weeks Out and Counting….
Well, leave it up to me to basically sabotage my prep. Over the last couple weeks my body fat percentage was.not.budging. Frustrating, right? Luckily, my coach and I were able to figure it out now versus after my show. Earlier in my prep when I had a higher caloric intake, I was eating about 5-6…
Dirty Cauliflower Rice
Hello! I want to start with saying, SORRY! My mind has been a little preoccupied lately and recipe creations just haven’t been happening. Luckily, I was struck with some inspiration lately so I have for you a brand new recipe! Before we get to that, let me catch you up on my show prep. I…
Turkey and Vegetable Meatballs
I am officially less than 8 weeks out from my fitness competition. The intensity has definitely been kicked into high gear. I am doing way more cardio than I’d like, still lifting heavy (alleluia!) and still have quite a bit of energy! So far this journey has been quite the experience. I am challenging myself…
