I freaking did it. I road tripped a long weekend, visited family, celebrated a national holiday, AND didn’t eat and drink myself silly (aka sick)! It always seems impossible until it’s done, huh? And since I did it once, naturally I’m an expert. 😏🤣 So here is my wealth of knowledge 🧠: 🥪 Bring a cooler and pack […]

A quick Google search on how long it takes to form a habit will have your head reeling with contradicting numbers. Is it 21? No, 30. Wait, 66! Oh shit, 254 days??? I’m not one to call bullshit on science. I vaccinate. I have a biochemistry degree. Evolution looks damn legit for a theory. Pretty sure the earth is round […]
As mentioned in my Kayla Itsines’ BBG 60 week review post, I’ve been doing a different program within the Sweat app since mid-July 2019. I’m currently on my…32nd?…week of the PWR Program. What is PWR? PWR is a weight-training focused program within the Sweat app, created by the oh-so-inspirational trainer Kelsey Wells. How is PWR set up? This varies depending […]
Quick update: A lot has happened since my 24-week BBG progress post! I did a 3rd 12-week round of BBG using the PDFs, then I took advantage of the 3-months of the @sweat app for $1 deal they had running last January. I love the app so much I’ve maintained my subscription ever since. In total I’ve done BBG 1.0 […]
Drinking more water seems to be a common goal in the fitness community. And for good reason! I won’t bore you with all the benefits, suffice to say there are many. Google them if you’d like, but chances are you know you should drink your water and probably need to up your intake. The old rule of thumb has always […]
I’ll preface this by saying I like working out at the gym, and actually have a membership. I went to the gym almost daily before I nap trained my baby daughter and when my son was out of preschool for the summer. And depending on what my girl’s nap schedule looks like I’ve been able to go to the gym […]
Okay, so months have flown by since I posted my BBG (Bikini Body Guide) Round 1 progress. How do you mom bloggers make time for creating posts with mini psychopaths demanding and/or spilling food and/or pissing and/or shitting their drawers and/or needing your undivided attention all the time? #respect 🙌 I have now completed my 2nd round of BBG 1.0 […]
The sheer thought of diet and exercise makes most people cringe. When you hear “diet and exercise” you think “deprive and punish.” At least that’s what those of us that have always been on a weight loss roller coaster think. A diet is a temporary means to weight loss. Exercise is what you do when you feel guilty. Diet and […]
I’ve been a little down on myself this week. I look and feel bloated. I’ve had a few too many handfuls of empty carb snacks like cereal, tortilla chips, and vanilla wafers here and there, and a bit more chocolate than I should. 😒 But I’ve also eaten yogurt for breakfasts, salads for lunches, and decently healthy dinners all week.
