I talk a lot about eating clean, balancing macronutrients and making this a lifestyle. But what I haven’t talked much about yet is how to make this all realistic and sustainable over a lifetime. Because after all, is something really a lifestyle if it can’t be sustained for a lifetime? So here are my thoughts [...]

So, I have been holding my breath since 14.1 was announced, hoping and wishing for NO chest to bar pull ups or muscle ups until the very last week. But you know… the whole unknown and unknowable thing got the best of me this week. My back is nowhere near ready for any sort of [...]

Kids (especially those who are underserved and under-appreciated) doing CrossFit at school... you already know how happy this makes me, but let me tell you a little bit more.

In the first week [...]

Let's talk about 14.1.  *note: if you don't care that much about The Open, I hope I can help change your mind, BUT you can also just scroll to the bottom for some nutrition tidbits for today. I have a recipe for you, and I go through what a morning of eating around my training [...]

the OPEN!!! and the balancing game….

*NOTE: This is one of my earliest posts. My mindset and focus as a Nutritionist Consultant has changed a lot with education, and I now focus first on nutrient-density and then on balancing macros, BUT I still believe whole heartedly that everyone should measure food at least once to get a good grasp of what [...]

So here we are! Off to the races. It is my first blog post, and I am PUMPED. Not necessarily because loads of people are going to read this one. In fact, not many people will, but there is something so liberating about just the IDEA of someone reading my thoughts. My first post is [...]
