Remember my excitement from last week about our fun mini trip up north? Yea, that didn’t happen. Anything that could have gone wrong last weekend pretty much did. I am not going to explain everything that went down because this post would turn into a novel. What I do want to talk about though is…
Paleo
PB&J Bacon Burger
I have found the golden ticket to having motivation in the gym. Workout next to a celebrity. Simple as that. So get this, I was just about done with my workout for the day Friday afternoon and Jake Owen walks in with his crew. JAKE OWEN! I live in Eau Claire, WI which is home…
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…

[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.

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…

Mustard and Cilantro Baked Salmon with Asparagus
Alright, alright alight! I am 12 weeks out from my show. IT.IS.GAME.TIME. I shouldn’t be saying this, but I am so happy I am starting carb cycling and my cut. I have been eating in a calorie surplus for the past three months and frankly, it was getting hard to eat that much. I will…
