I’m sure we all can relate to this problem of overeating. It’s so prevalent in our culture, it’s almost considered “normal.” However, this is not a good thing! Childhood obesity has skyrocketed in the past few years- it’s even seen in babies as young as 6 months old. How crazy is that???? While there is nothing wrong with enjoying sweets and treats every now and then (in fact, I recommend it!), constantly bingeing and losing control of what you are eating is not good! Not only does bingeing have effects on your physical body, but also your mental state. During a binge, you have given up all self control and have succumbed to the temptation of food. While this can lead to weight gain, diabetes, and a number of health concerns, this harms your mental and emotional state. You feel defeated, overwhelmed, and even disgusted with yourself. This overflows into other areas of your life- you lose motivation to workout, to perform well in activities, to work hard, and to live up to your poten...

Happy Tuesday! Gosh it feels like it has been forever since I have been on here, even though it's only been two weeks (which is still "two" long!!). I have been busy and honestly lacking motivation for just about everything the last couple weeks. I am almost done with school for this year, and am itching to be! Although I am tempted to slack off until then, I know that it's not over yet, and I need to keep doing my best! Since the marathon (these last two weeks), I have not been lifting heavy quite as much, and doing some lighter workouts. I have been running at least once a week (short, baby runs!), as it is something I want to keep doing. And in all honesty, my nutrition has not been on point. Between cravings, running late, and overall laziness, I have not eaten as many veggies, as much whole food, or even as much protein as I aim too. I have been overwhelmed with my to-do list, and you know how I respond? I shut down. I hide and do absolutely nothing. What a ...

Hey there! Welcome to the FIRST DAY of the May Challenge: eat more veggies. I thought I would kick it off with some ways to incorporate vegetables into your first meal! Now, I am the person who would always prefer sweet things in the morning, so eating vegetables in the morning is a stretch for me! But whenever I do, I get to know I made a dent in my veggie-quota for the day; I love crossing things off my to-do list!! Here are some fun and sneaky ways to eat your veggies in the morning :) Omelet Or whatever version of this you can make, if your chef skills aren't on point 😂 Omelets are a super easy way to include vegetables in a meal! Sometimes if I don't feel up to attempting this culinary feat, I will place scrambled or fried eggs on a bed of leafy greens- and add ketchup or salsa :) This is one of my favorite ways to have veggies in the morning, since my taste buds are used to eating eggs in the morning! Smoothie A great way to still have that sweet taste in t...
