This has always been a hot topic in conversations, and one that has hit close to home for me personally in recent years. I truly believed that I was going to be one of those unicorn people that would always be blessed with great metabolism. Not because I was just “lucky”, but because I felt that I earned it through…
It wasn’t until last year that I realized I had been taking my health for granted. The fact that I didn’t eat fast food everyday made me think I was doing pretty well, which I know is a pretty low bar. I felt like I was healthy enough. I ate vegetables when I was in the mood, which…
The other day, I was putting on my shoes to get in a quick workout. I was attempting to hype myself up for a HIIT circuit and realized just how much I was dreading it. I started to think about my mindset around my workouts lately. I realized, that all of a sudden, my workouts that I used to enjoy…

The other day, I weighed myself (big mistake!) and freaked out! I’m now 24 weeks pregnant and had yet to weigh myself (besides the doctors office). I’ve always had an unhealthy relationship with the scale, so don’t keep one at my home, but decided to hop on at my parents. The number on the scale was not was I was…

The pressures of our fast paced society can leave me constantly feeling like I’m not doing enough. Then other days I feel like I’m doing WAY too much.
