My Current Workout Routine: I currently workout 5-6 days a week and the other 1-2 days are active recovery days where I will walk, stretch, take a yoga class, or nothing at all if I don’t have time. I switch up my workouts daily to keep it interesting. The past year or so I have really focused my workouts around strength training. This post explains why strength training for women is so … [Read more...]

I was complaining to a dietitian friend of mine the other day (we love to geek out about nutrition stuff) that I’m just always so hungry at night and eating a lot after dinner some nights. Yes, this even happens to Registered Dietitians. I know all the reasons this is happening, but I wasn’t making it a priority to tighten up my behaviors during the day avoid feeling this way in the evening. … [Read more...]

I’m guilty of getting in ruts and serving my kids the same thing on repeat. It’s easy to do, but limits their exposure to new foods and also limits variety which impacts the diversity of nutrients they are getting in their diet (same as us). I like to think of snacks as a mini meal. I try to offer a balance of nutrients including protein and fiber to actually fill them up. If you’re just … [Read more...]

To be honest I’m a total homebody, so I don’t find myself in too many situations that make me feel uncomfortable about not drinking. However, when I first started this journey last August I was nervous how people would respond when I told them I wasn’t drinking. I’ve learned that if people are real friends they won’t care and will make you feel comfortable regardless. I’m not judging them … [Read more...]

With all of the Ozempic buzz and trendy weight loss tips and tricks on social media these days it can be easy to fall into the toxicity of diet culture. There is no shortage of health and wellness “influencers” social media right now sharing all the things they do in the name of health. There can be a fine line between wanting to lose weight and falling into the diet culture trap. What does … [Read more...]

One of the biggest health trends I’m seeing this year is a reduction in people’s alcohol intake. People are significantly cutting back on drinking for many different reasons, myself included. This journey started for me back in August and I wrote a blog post about what was going on for me and why I decided to take a break with alcohol. I don’t like labels, so I would never say I’m “sober” … [Read more...]

The nutrition and wellness world is always changing. With new scientific studies always emerging what we know to be true about nutrition has changed overtime. So much of what I learned about when I was in school for dietetics is dated. Ultimately, I always encourage people to eat the way that makes them feel best. When I work with clients though and they want guidance I will give them my … [Read more...]

I love a good morning routine. I wrote about being a morning person, tips to get up earlier, and my morning routine here. If you follow us on IG stories you know we are up early working out, drinking all the bevies, and getting our day started right. Here are my morning essentials! xx, A … [Read more...]

What should my Apple Watch ring goals be to stay healthy (not lose weight)? IMO the “move” goal doesn’t really matter because smart watches are known to be inaccurate when it comes to calorie burn during a workout. I think setting it to about 500 cal is an average goal, but like I said, don’t obsess over it. A better stat to look at is your steps. 10k isn’t magical, but it’s a good … [Read more...]

ONE//SKIMS t-shirt I ordered this shirt a few months ago and wear it all the time! It’s the perfect cotton t-shirt to layer under a sweater or wear on it’s own with jeans. So comfortable and flattering. I got size small. TWO//Wild Indigo A new (at least to me) color from Lululemon. This color is so beautiful IRL esp. for Spring. I got this tank, but also eyeing these leggings, this hoodie, … [Read more...]
