| Sports Bra (similar) | Leggings | Do you remember the days of going to 24 Hour Fitness and spending an hour or more on the elliptical reading US Weekly...then grabbing a Jamba Juice and feeling like you were a fitness god...just me?? Well, times have definitely changed for me and my fitness routine now that I have a better understanding of how my body functions metabolically. I often get … [Read more...]

I had a facial scheduled last Wednesday, but I was not planning on getting a chemical peel. However, my aesthetician recommended it because we are working on controlling my breakouts and acne scars, so YOLO! She warned me there would be some down time (AKA your face peeling off and feeling mortified being seen out in public!) but the timing was perfect. We were already planning on potty … [Read more...]

I had a flight delay a few weeks ago and threw out the offer for our followers to ask me their burning questions about nutrition, food, and fitness. I wanted to answer these questions on the blog so it was an easy place for everyone to have access to read the Q&A. If you have more questions please let me know and I can get to them in a Happy Hour post or another Nutrition Q&A type post … [Read more...]

I get asked questions about Daily Harvest all the time, so I figured it would be nice to have it all written up in one place for your viewing pleasure. Let me start off by saying this is not sponsored (I wish!) I just think DH is a great nutritious option for a meal or snack. A common nutrition concern for a lot of people is wanting quick, but healthy food options. Life is busy and hectic and … [Read more...]

| top | leggings | hat | I hate the word detox, so I’m not going to call it that. We have a liver that is very capable of doing the work for us, so no need to take drastic dietary measures to “detox” because it’s BS. However, you can most definitely experiment with food and figure out what works best for you and also reset your taste buds. As you know I'm a non-diet dietitian, so let me … [Read more...]

| jeans | shoes | (similar) sweater | I'm writing this post on Sunday afternoon as I sit at the airport wine bar with a 2 hour flight delay and I'm reflecting on the past 3.5 days being kid free. TBH, I was really looking forward to getting home to see Quinn before bed time and it doesn't look like that will be happening, but to be really honest I'm going to enjoy these last few "me" moments … [Read more...]

I've wanted to write a post about my experience with postpartum anxiety for a while now and these past few weeks my anxiety has been through the roof, so figured it was time to talk about it! Quinn has typically been a good sleeper, but we've had a few set backs since she's been sick on and off the past several weeks AND we said bye bye to the paci... hello sleep regression! She's been … [Read more...]

Heather and I both set the goal to train and run a half-marathon in 2019. I ran my first half-marathon last year and honestly while training for it I didn't think I would do another. I dreaded my long runs, but got such a runner's high afterwards that made it worth it. I felt so damn accomplished after my race last year I can see how people get hooked. Anyways, since Heather and I both … [Read more...]

So, if trying out a new workout class is on your to-do list for 2019 chances are you're not going to be the only newbie in class.

It's the day after Christmas and now we are all starting to look forward to the new year. We are a few days away from 2019 and a "clean slate". Many people take this time between Christmas and New Years to reflect on the past year and set resolutions or intentions for the upcoming year. I do love the idea of setting intentions and think having small and specific goals you're wanting to work … [Read more...]
