I’ve started counting macros lately and I STRUGGLE to hit my protein goal every single day. Luckily, a Burn Boot Camp trainer introduced me to these protein oat cookies. They use one of my newest obsessions: Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips. They’re made of only 3 ingredients that you can pronounce, taste just like the chocolate…
Sirrah I’m disappointed with my progress (or lack there of) last week. I’m going to try to let it go and move on after writing this so I don’t beat myself up too much. I didn’t get a chance to run or ride my bike because it seamed like the baby wanted to be held…
I’m trying to stay positive about my body. My very different body. I’m six weeks postpartum and I’m emerging slightly from a newborn haze and looking around; looking down…at my body… and thinking, “whhhhaat are you?!”
When Scott and I started dating, he told me that he and his friends would use May as a time o refocus at the gym. It’s right before the summer officially starts, has 31 days and “Melt Away May” just has a great ring to it. The minute he told me about this, I was…
Alright, folks. It’s a new year! You get a clean slate, a fresh start, to make better life choices. I’m starting my year out in my happy place: the kitchen! My fiancé and I are getting married in 22 months (!!!) and we are making the conscious effort to eat cleaner and exercise so we…

I was given a Clean Bottle as a prize at the Team In Training booth at…
Staying hydrated is key to keeping our cravings in check. Before reaching for that second piece of pie or that bag of chips, try chugging a glass of water. When our body is dehydrated, it can trick us into thinking we’re hungry, not thirsty. Down a glass of water and wait 15 minutes. If you’re still…
A little background on myself — I’m someone who likes to stay active. I enjoy working out, running and even teach spin “on the side”. Feeling tired isn’t unusual for me. However, I discovered this spring that the rundown I felt was something different. I’ve been working with a run coach with Gotham City Runners for…
My fiance and I are terrible about consistently eating breakfast and we don’t have time to make something before work. I am lucky to have a cafe in my office building that allows me to make healthy breakfast choices’ however, he is not so lucky and will often grab something that is calorie and carb loaded.…
I kept seeing all of these delicious looking dessert photos on Instagram and was shocked to see time after time that 95% of them were protein recipes. I would think, “so you’re telling me, there’s a way for me to eat chocolate and have it be good (better) for me? Why haven’t I tried these…
