How to meal prep for normal, busy women who aren’t trying to land the cover of a fitness magazine

This is the one thing you need to be doing to reach your fitness goals
I know there've been times when you've looked at someone who was living a life you wanted, and thought "how does she do it?" I know this because it used to be the very same thought I'd have as I looked at other women who seemed so alive and so comfortable in their...

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...
