Hey everyone! I’m sorry my last post was a little serious and somber. My emotions were close to the surface and it’s just how I was feeling that day! Since that post, I’ve had a few phone calls and emails from people expressing concern and inquiring about how me and my family are doing. Thank you all for your kindness and concern. I know it’s annoying when people post things on social media about struggles and hard things, but then never elaborate. It leaves people to worry and speculate. I didn’t mean to do that! So sorry. I actually have quite a few friends Continue Reading…

It’s Continue Reading…
I Love Counting Macros + Egg White Muffin Recipe
K, so I’ve been counting Macros “for reals” this week! Yay! I’ve really been loving it. I told you guys I started counting Macros last week, but for some reason I struggled. I realized I just wasn’t 100% committed from the get-go. Before I start any new goal, challenge, healthy shift, etc., I know I NEED to be 100% mentally on board first. I know I have to dig deep, get inside my head, find my motivation and COMMIT! Once I feel that fierce commitment inside of me, I’m golden.
