Your experiences matter.
Raise your hand if you've ever seen someone or you yourself have ever consumed a protein shake post-workout as fast as possible like your life depended on it? All of our hands should be up. Or at least most of us. This was something I truly believed seven years ago when I first got started… Continue reading Wellness Refocused Education: Protein for Non-Athletes versus Athletes + Ideas
Growing up in the 90s, I think there are a lot of us that think back or sing back to songs and realize that the lyrics are not what we remember. First song that come to mind...Five's When the Light's Go Out. Second song - Spice Girls' Wannabe. Third song - Backstreet Boys' As Long… Continue reading I hope I never find someone who loves me like you
It’s Mental Health Awareness Month. Mother’s Day is this month. The BBQ’s start. The pools will open. The sun is finally staying around longer than sunrise. I know that what I’m about to talk about isn’t a privilege for everyone for one reason or another. It's not lost on me when I talk about mental… Continue reading Opting out
"Health: As officially defined by the World Health Organization, a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." Since coming back on Instagram one thing I've noticed more - and it could just be the strength in the voice - is how more people are talking about… Continue reading What is HAES anyway?
Post-Easter, post-carrot cake - I'm now just trying to find places to put the left over carrots. Carrots are one of those vegetables that I'll eat if it's on a platter at a party, but I don't necessarily go out of my way to buy them often. Pre-carrot cake, I used some for waffles. You… Continue reading Recipe: Carrot Cake Stove-Top Protein Oats
I've talked about this idea a few times, but I don't think it ever hurts to revisit it. "I could tell you my adventures - beginning from this morning," Alice said a little timidly; "but it's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then." I love this quote so much,… Continue reading Give yourself some context
Some things are a matter of habit - pancakes, waffles, egg whites, peanut butter. I'm just grateful that I know I'm not alone in having foods and ingredients that I incorporate often into my routine. Whether we believe it or not, we all get into our own routines. But sometimes, things need to get spiced up… Continue reading Recipe: Carrot Cake Protein Waffles for One

I think there are a lot of us that think about our past relationship or past goals and yeah, maybe we consider them,… Continue reading Pour the gasoline and light a match
This is an odd post, but I think a necessary one. For me, writing is everything. I've been writing since high school. After dance, writing was an outlet that I felt comfortable it. While I continued to dance in my head after the weight gain, imaging turns and stomps - writing is something that I… Continue reading Wellness Refocused Education: How to journal
I like to think about the bigger picture. I like to look ahead. There's so much time ahead to move through. Sometimes when I look back, time feels longer than it actually is (or was)and that's just odd, but I'm sure you've felt the same. There are other times that I feel like I'm losing… Continue reading 12 hours
