But what if I told you you don’t have to do any of those things? That meal prep […]
11 Tips to Make Meal Prep Easier What do you think when you hear “meal prep”? The term “meal prep” might sound intimidating. Or even douchey. I get it. I used to roll my eyes when people would mention “meal prepping” like they were some fitness messiah or something. It seemed extreme and unnecessary. Honestly, at the time, it was […]
It’s no longer January 1st, but that doesn’t mean it’s too late to get moving on those fitness goals of yours. Just think of it as having an eleven-and-a-half month head start on 2022 rather than being 2 weeks behind on your 2021 goals. How do you like them apples? Because if you’re already counting yourself out for the year, […]

Totally blew your diet yesterday, didja? Epically fell off the wagon? Ate your weight in chips and queso last night? Ended your evening next to a mountain of empty Halloween candy wrappers? GOOD! I’ll get to why that’s good in just a minute. But first, here are my credentials: I have been at this whole fitness thing for 2.5 years […]

At first it was about getting a little attention and kudos for my hard work. But it goes soooo much deeper than that now, on so many levels!
