Weekend Workout Fun!
March 25, 2016
I get it…it’s the weekend, you slept in and have a packed social calendar. You’ve been working your butt off all week and the last thing you feel like doing is revolving your Saturday around the weight room. My recommendation? Instead of skipping your workout altogether, give this fun, effective WEEKEND WORKOUT a whirl! All you’ll need is your bodyweight and a bit of an open space (I’ve even done this workout in a small living room or hotel room with limited space), so throw on your workout clothes, put on a solid playlist and get that workout in…and then set out to enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Healthy Holidays!
December 12, 2015
Dieting during the holidays doesn’t have to be a bore…in fact, you can have your Christmas cookies and abs, too! One of the principles that I adhere to year round is balance. What exactly is that, you ask? Quite simply, this means that nothing is ever completely off limits. I make healthy choices the majority of the time with my meals so that when I do want to have a few cookies, go back for seconds at Thanksgiving or have an extra slice of holiday pie, I do so and I don’t worry about it derailing my fitness one bit.

Healthy Mexican food? You bet!
December 9, 2015
I absolutely love Mexican food! So much, in fact, that it’s some of my favorite cuisine out there. The unfortunate thing is, it’s not always the healthiest choice (excessive amounts of sodium, cheese/saturated fats, etc., don’t exactly make this cuisine a fitness model’s dream come true). Sure, it’s one of the easier types of restaurants to go and make a few adjustments and get a healthier meal than what’s listed on the menu (skip the chips, skip all of the cheese, make sure you don’t get the deep fried options, pass on the sour cream, etc.), but what if I told you that there are really simple options that you can make right at home while still keeping everything on track with your fitness, physique and nutrition goals?

Rower Workout Fun!
November 12, 2015
I’m not going to lie- the rowing machine is not my favorite mode of cardio, so whenever I do include it in my workout I always do something fun to switch it up, challenge myself and keep it interesting while working with bursts of high intensity!

Best Thing I Ever Did…
November 4, 2015
Well, it’s been nearly four whole years since I did it, you guys. Four years since I took that leap of faith, placed that bet on myself and challenged myself in ways that I’d never dared to before. What in the world did I do, you ask? Well, quite simply, I quit. I quit my job in corporate America and never looked back. It seriously seems like just yesterday that I was driving around all of Northern California, making sales calls in my territory, working a job that I dreaded waking up for. Don’t get me wrong- it was a good job, and in the type of economy I was faced with upon college graduation, I was grateful to even have solid employment. It was this very detail that I reminded myself of daily…sometimes multiple times each day in order to keep myself motivated and focused enough to make the sales calls day in and day out, sometimes driving 450+miles in a day just to get the job done.
