Cheers to a Beautiful, Healthy, Strong New Year!
Thanks to Southwest Airlines, Jase (my husband) and I never made it back to New York for Christmas 🙁 We did, however, get to spend an extra long time in the airports, standing in lines, going nowhere (sense my sarcasm). Hopefully none of you had to experience this madness.
So… we stayed in Colorado for Christmas, and made the most of our time together, and took a little bit of time off from work (it’s impossible for me to 100% unplug). We rang in the New Year like a couple of 95-year olds. I’m pretty sure we were in our PJ’s by 4pm getting cozy on the couch. Complete with fur-babe snuggles. Hey, I’m not complaining.
I hope ya’ll enjoyed your New Year too 🙂 Perhaps in a more exciting fashion.
But… I gotta admit something.
I wasn’t “perfect” with my nutrition over the holidays. There are days I didn’t log, and days I opted for that extra piece of Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake with Coconut Whipped Cream on top.
But nowadays I’m at peace with my body and have found balance. It took years of struggling, hormonal disruption, injuries, lots of failure, and stepping away from the very things that pulled me into that unhealthy mentality (competitive sports and unhealthy relationships) to recover.
It’s hard work, but worth it for a life of self-happiness and love.
For anyone else struggling, you can find balance in 2023!!

New Year, Same Garbage Diet Advice out There.
I know the Fit-fluencer space can take center stage and be really crowded with diet pills, detoxes, quick fixes, fitness Challenges, and sexy (weird) workout plans that claim to get you the results you want… all by yesterday.
The problem?
None of it will actually help you get what you really want: sustainable, long lasting change.
Want to know what will?
Follow my FOUNDATIONAL TIPS (see image above) to lay the ground work.
- This is exactly what we teach our 1:1 clients.
- Which items are you already consistently smashing? Cross those off.
- Focus on 1-2 new habits/week.
- Don’t add anymore habits until you master the 1-2 you choose.
- This is how you build a sustainable lifestyle.
- Is this sexy and enticing? Hell-no! But I want you to be great at the FOUNDATIONS. Kind of like building a house. You can’t do interior decorating and throw up paint and pictures until you have a solid house structure.
I challenge you to NOT buy into the extremes and fads. Instead, spend the time fixing your metabolism, biofeedback (energy, mood, sleep, sex drive, hormones/menstrual cycle, performance in the gym, etc) AND your relationship with food and fitness. If you do this, your appearance will reflect.
Let’s crush 2023 together!
Let me know what you want to accomplish this year.
I personally want to look good, feel good, and get stronger. And of course hike more mountains/Alpine Lakes with Molly dog. I spend so much time and energy giving to my clients. Don’t get me wrong- it’s my job and I loveeeeee doing it. But it’s time for me to fill up my cup, and hold myself accountable to my own goals. Stay tuned 😉
