4 Ways healthy accountability will help you reach your fitness goals
One of the first experiences I ever had with weight loss came from Weight Watchers. At the time that program seemed like a God-send, and in many ways it was an absolute blessing. After years of trying and failing what seems like hundreds of diets and quick fixes I was...

How to meal prep for normal, busy women who aren’t trying to land the cover of a fitness magazine
Doing a simple search for the term 'meal prep' is likely to elicit tons of results. Great. Except there was one teeny tiny problem. Most of the meal prep videos or articles that came up were incredibly detailed and regimented, and had you eating pretty much the same...

How to get more motivated without flaking out on yourself
Nobody likes a flake. They are hard to rely on and you can almost never trust them to do what they say they'll do because they don't have a history of showing up. Sadly, we are sometimes the flakiest person we know. It's not that we flake out on everyone else around...

How to improve your body image and reach your fitness goals
I don't blame you for feeling burned out on your workout program or you meal plan. It's easy to get to that place of frustration and wanting to throw in the towel, when you feel like you're doing *all the right things* and aren't getting any of the results. I've been...

read moreHealthy lifestyle or disordered eating? Not as easy to spot as you might think.
I stepped on stage in a teeny weeny bikini, a tan, and 4 inch heels. I honestly loved it. I loved the rush of showing off all the hard work and discipline the last 12+weeks had produced. I loved the challenge of changing my body-- It was just as much of a mental game...
read moreBreak up with your diet and leave diet culture behind | One of the healthiest choices you can make for yourself
Diets. We've all sworn them off. Well, at least we thought we did. I'm stumped though as to why we still have so many women working their butts off and still not living in a body they are totally in love with. It's not you, it's them.. Diets are pretty sneaky. I...

Tis the season of holiday parties, extra spending, and perhaps a bit too much eggnog. This time of year used to be so stressful for me. We were charging Christmas on our credit card, I couldn't stop eating all the Christmas cookies, and I seemed to ramp up my time...
