Pills and powders and capsules OH MY! Let’s face it, nutrition can be hard. Every article you read tells you something different and everyone you talk to is peddling the simple pre-made and portioned food line. Not to mention you have the “Dr. Midday show” telling you that you are deficient and going to die…

Sweet Potato Toast 3 Ways
I have never seen so many “motivational Monday” posts and quotes as I have seen today and the day isn’t even over yet. We all have motivation in us. It is what we do with that motivation is what matters the most. I can sit here and spit motivational quotes to you left and right but…
Protein Chocolate Chip and Blueberry Energy Balls
Do you find yourself ever apologizing for things that you really don’t need to be apologizing for? I recently read an article that popped up on a health website I follow about how apologizing is a “thing” for women in today’s society. As I read the article, I found myself shaking my head up and…
Paleo Chocolate Almond Butter Frozen Banana Pops
[Consistency] – the ability to remain the same in behavior, attitudes, or qualities. Man, you’d be surprised by how many definitions of consistency there is on the world wide web.

Chocolate Protein Banana Overnight Oats
You read that right, overnight OATS. In a previous post I mentioned that things will be changing a bit around here and one of those things are non-paleo recipes. I used to “label” myself as paleo and I stuck to a paleo diet 99 percent of the time for a very long time. Over the…

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…

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…
