Customized Nutrition Plans

My goal is to help you feel empowered through healthy sustainable habits, not only with nutrition, but as well with fitness and lifestyle. I don’t believe in depriving yourself, eliminating food groups or practicing restrictive diets will ever be the way to create lasting change or balance in your life. Remember, what is sustainable is maintainable!

Moving vlog day 4 & 5

We are making progress! The walls are all painted (Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace), we got rid of the temporary bar stools after I searched HIGH AND LOW for the last stock of these chairs from Target (sold out online). I scrubbed the stone from the fireplace to remove dust, got clothes organized on my side of the closet, and helped my mom hang some curtain rods. 

Today, we are finishing up cleaning, hanging pictures and more curtain rods, and installing internet. 

Tomorrow Adam is getting a Uhaul for a few larger items we have left at both of our houses. Additionally, our living room chairs and coffee table is being delivered and I cannot wait to see them in the space. 

Night one officially starts tonight and I am exhausted, but this has been such a fun week!

MOVING VLOG DAY 2 & 3!

Well, turns out I missed the mark and should have been a professional caulker 😂 day 2 & 3 were filled with a lot more paint, caulking, bed frame building oh and more paint.

We have finished the patio flooring and only have ONE room left to paint (aside from the ceilings and few high points which we are getting professionally done). Tomorrow and Friday we will be getting internet, doing a deep clean and officially moving in on Saturday!

Honestly, the last 4 days have been constant work. I wake up at 4 am and do client emails for 8 hours and then head to the house to work another 8 hours. Genuinely, I wouldn’t have it any other way. This process has been so fun and exciting and both Adam and I feel incredibly grateful.

To touch on nutrition and fitness, a client sent me an email that spoke of needing to let go of motivation to get things done and stick to determination. I couldn’t agree more. Can it be hard to make time to go to the gym when you have a busy schedule? Sure. Can it be hard to meal prep and make healthier choices? Sure, for some. But for me, I continue to do these things out of habit and determination. Motivation and willpower have absolutely nothing to do with it. There’s 24 hours in a day and you choose how to spend them. Now, does that mean I’m balls to the walls and have zero balance? Of course not. I prioritize rest and recovery 2-3 days a week, I eat chocolate chip cookies, ice cream and eat out but overall, it will always come down to priorities and your goals, so I hope you can think about that when your looking for that “motivation” because it doesn’t exist. You make a change. That change becomes a habit. Those habits build a lifestyle.

Moving days 1-2!

This weekend was all about paint. We wanted to get the house painting prior to any furniture coming in so we got straight to work. Lucky for me, my mom has painted every house we have ever lived in so she offered to help. Between her and I, we finished most of the house, just have the bedrooms left!

Adam and dad worked on changing out the patio ceiling fan, installing two lights, and ripping up the patio floor to install LVP.

By the end of Sunday, our mattress had finally arrived and it was our first piece of new furniture that was officially in the house! We decided to buy everything new, so a majority of things are not coming until later but that doesn’t bother me, I’m just thankful to be in our home and have such a great family to help out. 

Finishing client emails today, heading to the gym for 30 mins and getting back at it! 👩🏼‍🎨

Honey, we’re home!!

After almost a year in the housing market from hell, we finally have a house! And honestly, it was worth every bit of the wait. 

Seems like God loves to remind us of patience and trust amongst a season of waiting.

Whether it was waiting over 10 years to find and date someone like Adam (dont settle ladies, the love of your life could very well be 7 house down from you and you not even know it!).

Whether it be submitting application after application to be on Food Network to eventually complete (and win) a show. 

Whether it be choosing to go back to school at 27 to get the proper education I needed to pursue a career I love and be my own boss.

Whatever it is, if you are in a season of waiting, keep praying and keep patient. In the end, God has the ultimate plan, and it looks pretty darn good to me. 

Who is ready for all things renovation, decor and new recipes!?!

Lets discuss effort.

One thing I can tell you about each and every one of these clients is that their success is not due to me. It’s due to their consistent effort, patience, and trust that they instilled in me to be able to get each and every single one of them eating more than they ever had prior to coming to me. I’m not showing you before and afters of people eating less, I’m showing you what MORE food can do to a body.

I’m showing you what a little effort to change each day does. The beauty of it? That looks different for everyone. 

Maybe for someone, having one more glass of water is effort.

Maybe for someone, parking a bit further away to walk more is effort. 

Maybe for someone choosing to prep lunch instead of eat out is effort.

Maybe for someone adding a 2.5 lb plate to the bar or one more rep is effort.

Effort looks different to each and every person, but I can promise you that it all adds up. Small changes lead to big habits.

If you’ve been living on low calories, here’s your sign to eat more. DM me or go to the link in my bio for coaching.
