I have and always will be a brunch girl. No diet or fitness goal I am trying to reach will change that. The weekend rolls around and there is just something that feels so right about indulging in delicious brunch foods while sipping on a mimosa or two! It’s what weekends were made for, am I right? I may be logging all my food and watching what I eat on the #52DayShred but that doesn’t mean that I have to give up my brunches, NO WAY! There is a way to throw a bangin’ brunch for your friends and eat it too, even when you are tracking your macros. You might have to be a bit more strategic with your numbers the rest of the day but I am telling you, you will have room for most, if not all of these dishes! If you aren’t tracking your macros and frankly have no clue what they are ( you can read about them here), no sweat, you can still make this killer brunch and eat like a champ! Find my macro friendly brunch recipes below and ideas on how to style your spread when your besties come over. We promise […]

It’s hard to believe that our first #52DayShred is coming to a close in just a few days and that we are already gearing up for round two (starting June 12th)! If you aren’t familiar with the #52DayShred, it’s a nutrition program we developed with Nutrition a coach, Leah Clark, to help you truly learn the right nutrition tools to 1) Get the body you want, 2) Achieve your fitness goals, and 3) Make properly fueling your body a sustainable lifestyle. Read more about it here. We have been blown away by what our current #52DayShred ladies have accomplished and we are so excited to share some of their stories with you. We gave them to the tools but their hard work and dedication to the program are what drove the results. There’s no magic pill to take to get the body or life you want, it’s your inner drive and fight that will get you there! And let me tell you, these ladies are driven!!! The best part of this program has been watching these women encourage one another and motivate each other to stick with it. Sharing tips, recipes, successes, and failures; all things that are part of […]

What Are Macros and Why Should We Count Them?

What Are Macros and Why Should We Count Them? “Macros? What the heck are they and why are people counting them?” That was my gut reaction when I caught wind of the macro trend. I have never been one to count calories or to follow any kind of diet for that matter. I mean why in the heck would I workout so hard if I can’t just eat what I want afterward? That has always been my mentality and approach to my diet but little did I know that I wasn’t eating enough of the foods that my body needed to perform properly. After an injury that set me back with my fitness goals and feeling like crap when exercising, I realized I needed to make a change. No longer could I just “wing it” when it came to my nutrition, especially when training as hard as I was. That is when I inquired about the macro craze, I did a little research on my own and then started asking questions to the friends I knew that were on a macro type diet. The things I read and heard were pretty similar, it was all about balance and making sure you hit your […]
