I’m not sure this is something that really needs a defense, but I’m seeing a crazy amount of things in my feed by athletes who are borderline promoting disordered eating. Since screaming into the void or talking about it while running with a friend isn’t broad enough, I remembered I started blogging again to have …
If you’ve followed me on social media for a while, you know that I am a consistent meal planner. You also probably know that I am single, and live alone, which means when I meal plan, and cook, it’s usually just for me. I think meal planning for one is actually probably easier, because I …
That’s what little girls are made of, right? I’m 35, clearly not a little girl, but have often found myself eating sweets like one. Because, I was addicted to sugar. Cake, frosting, and jimmies. Three major food groups. With tons of research studies recently showing just how bad added sugar is for us, I decided …
In any given week I could be in 20-35 hours of meetings. I am up between 4:30 and 6 am depending on my workout or run plan for the day. If I’m lucky, I get home before 7pm, and can zone out for a few hours before going to bed. I realized about 2 years …

The holiday season brings lots of fun, laughter, drinks and treats. Even those of us who rarely eat a lot of unhealthy foods, are tempted with holiday treats, and the drinks.

Yesterday was a very long day, as I had a work event that didn’t get me home until after 10 pm. I was exhausted, but was still loving how I feel doing the 3 Day Refresh. I was happy with my modifications being reduced, and was super happy with my food choices. Day 3: Morning …
It's been a long day with work, but I'm still loving how I feel doing the 3 Day Refresh after overdoing it in a number of ways over the last week. After yesterday, I learned I didn't need as many modifications as I thought I would. Instead of allowing myself to use some unsweetened almond …
