Eat the Damn Food
I'm all about sharing nutrition and fitness content with you (be sure to scroll down for my recent IG posts), sprinkled in with my own personal adventures. I believe fitness is not just about being STRONG in the gym. It’s about being STRONG outside of the gym too. And...

The Most Interesting Thing About Me is My Sense of Adventure
This past weekend Jase (my husband), Molly (my cute little yellow lab), and I summited Square Top Mountain in Colorado to celebrate Molly's 4th Birthday. It's one of our favorite spots because it's not heavily trafficked and it gets you up HIGH at 13,794.' So not...

What Happens When You Bust Ass + Don’t Eat Enough Food?
We were meant to survive, thrive, & reproduce. Not have shredded abs. Our bodies are trying to survive. And our bodies are amazingly smart and adaptive to keep us alive. In my nutrition coaching biz, CWA, we often see active people bust ass + not eat enough food....
The Scale: It’s a Tool NOT a Rule
There are 1,799 reasons why… the scale isn’t a good indicator of progress or success. Scale obsession can be all too common with my nutrition coaching clients. This drives me nuts as a nutrition and fitness professional and makes me want to smash most people’s scales...

MyFitnessPal is not your Pal.(Stick with me until the end!) And there is a chance that the way you are tracking food right now isn’t working for a reason. True story. Because a real “pal” (aka: Coach) knows you, your body, your history of dieting, your fitness...
