| 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...]

| vest| leggings | long-sleeve | Happy New Year! There is so much talk about NY resolutions going around right now and an obvious one for most people if to be more physically active. 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. I'm known to drag my friends to all sorts of workout classes and they are … [Read more...]

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...]

  As I talked about in last week's post, getting a good night's rest is essential for me to be able to wake up early and feel well the next day.  I'm a creature of habit and it's reassuring to me to have my little night time routine that sets me up for a (fingers crossed) good night's rest. Before even heading upstairs to start my night routine I like to make sure all the toys are cleaned up and … [Read more...]

"There just isn't enough time in the day"...well it's time to make time!  Of course, there are some days you can't get it all done.  For me, being a morning person means I feel more productive and energized throughout the day. If you know me IRL you know I've always been a morning person.  Even pre Quinn I was taking the 6am (or earlier) workout classes before work and I even … [Read more...]

I don't mean to brag, and I'm probably 100% jinxing myself right now, but I rarely get sick!  I honestly think it does have a lot to do with my diet and lifestyle, so I'm going to share some of those tips with you all today. What got me thinking about writing this post...my husband had me stop to get him Zicam on my drive home last night and while I was checking out the cashier asked me if this … [Read more...]

On my drive to work on Monday morning the radio station I was listening to was discussing how much they had eaten over the holiday weekend and about weight gain. They even turned it into a game and asked listeners to call in and guess how much weight the radio host had gained over the past week. Really?!? Do we have to go there every.single.year. during the holidays. There are so many positive … [Read more...]

Thanksgiving is tomorrow and nope... I'm not going there!  I'm not going to write a "How to Eat Healthy During the Holidays" post. If you've been following along for a while now then you know I'm a non-diet dietitian and going into the holiday season my message is no different.  I'm sure your inbox is already flooded with posts offering tips and tricks to stay healthy over the holidays (for … [Read more...]
