HI friends,
Welcome to my Health and Fitness page. I started my journey in January back when I was feeling sluggish and heavy. My clothes were tight fitting, I was always tired, had no energy, and was discouraged when I went shopping. I wasn't happy in my own skin. I knew I had to do something, get back in track and comfortable in my own skin again. I made the step to change, to press play to an

The only person that has power to put boundaries on your dreams is…….YOU!
No one else can make them happen for you….
Do one thing each day that moves the needle forward.
How?
Follow the “KEEP, STOP, START” method 👇🏻
Write out;
✨One thing you want to keep doing
✨One thing you want to stop doing
✨One thing you want to start doing
Write them out, keep them visible, and go for what you want.
You got this!

Our memory works in odd ways.
We remember the things that are really high, really low, really distinctive & really unusual.
I remember....
8 years ago, it was hair wash day. I planned to get up earlier and wash my hair before heading to school to teach. Except I slept in! 🤷🏼♀️
Okay, no big deal I’ll use some dry shampoo and wash it tonight...
Turns out I only had 2 little sprays left in the can & no baby powder or time to run to the store.
Alright I’m wearing my hair up today, problem solved.
I was shortly after 12 noon, I just let my kindergarten kiddos in from lunch recess and hubby was standing there at my classroom door. This wasn’t unusual as he worked 10 minutes away.
But he was dressed up — he did mention he had an interview today, so it made sense. He wanted to make sure he looked good for it. He did!
He left then a minute later called me back to the door with a HUGE bouquet of florals and got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. 💍
I can’t tell you his exact words, nor can he (he was so nervous). But we can both tell you all the details leading up to and after that moment.
It’s funny how our memories work.

The purest hearts belong to dog AND kids.
Yesterday Lochlan and I were dropping off a condolence package to one of my clients who had to suddenly say goodbye to their beloved girl Simona.
I didn’t want him to ask where Simona was when we got to their house, so we discussed how she is in heaven now as the doctors couldn’t help her heart. Lochlan said he was sad and then this was his solution….
“Mom, when I’m older I’m going to be a doctor and help Simona - I’ll bring her back alive so we all don’t have to be sad anymore “ 🥹

WE GOT ROBBED….
- of seeing the joy of on our childs face from what the Easter bunny had left him and his brother.
….he was up at midnight opened his basket, found all 25 hidden eggs, and then open each one and did the alphabet activity on his own 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️😂

Ready to be Irish for the day ☘️🍻
My “Me” time,
A time to fill my cup.
A time to do something just for myself…. Looks a little different these day.
My time for myself has moved from daily workouts (while I am healing Post partum) to an outlet of creating and decorating cookies.
Moms,
I know it can seem like your walking on eggshells CONSTANTLY with trying to navigating the “rules of motherhood”.
Remember you deserve that time for you.
Accept the help that’s offered.
And replenish your soul.
In turn you’ll feel better, and everyone that surrounds you will benefit.

Welcome to the world little Macklin.
Born March 3rd at 9:55am

It’s been a LONG week of seeing countless numbers of Dr.’s as my liver decided to quit metabolizing fats.
More on that later….
We are beyond grateful for this little man to be safe and healthy earth side. ❤️

The amount of “healthy swaps” I’ve seen flood my feed for Super Bowl Sunday is making me 🤮🤮
Disclaimer: I’m fully aware this used to be me a few years ago.
There is no need to skip the foods you love on game day becuase you fear of “falling off track”.
There is no track!
There is no starting over on Monday!
There is no need to “watch your portions”, to “plate it”, or choose foods that are “low in points” etc...
You are NOT put on this earth to be on a weight loss journey 24/7 - 365 days a year.
Eat the foods, savour it & enjoy the day.
And when you do remember to 👇🏻👇🏻
Lose the guilt,
Lose the shame
Lose the negative self talk on your body!
Your life is meant for living!!
If you’re white knuckling each event and celebration in regards to food - there is no way you can truly be enjoying those moments!!
I guarantee you, you will not look back and think damn I would be so much happier if I didn’t have those foods on super bowl 🙄
Eat the food ✌🏻😘

First Full week into a new year.
𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐁𝐒!
If you set a New Years resolution??
Take at look if this 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
Majority of Resolutions fail…..
Why?!
Because although we have good intentions,
𝐰𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 🧠, which sets us up for failure. 🙀
𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐨 𝐟𝐚𝐫 𝐨𝐟𝐟 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐂𝐔𝐑𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦.
In fact our brain feels like it’s in danger or fear mode. It’s too far from our familiar life experience.
Prime example:
“I’ll workout 5 x week for 30-40mins …… when you’ve barely been consistent before?!? 🤔
So instead, think about making LASTING habits. Small DAILY promises that you know you can 100% keep.
When the changes are small your brain will not respond as if it is a threatening situation.
A Calendar year flipping doesn’t change you,
Mindset flipping does — and it’s available to you 365 days of the year!!!
How amazing is that!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!! Im not talking about the holidays. ❌🎄🎅🏻
Our days are officially going to get longer - wooo hoo!!💃🏼💃🏼
It’s a new season: 𝘞𝘐𝘕𝘛𝘌𝘙
What better way to greet it than set new intentions (not resolutions - they are dropped too quickly).

HOW?
Grab a journal and pen and reflect on the following👇🏻
•Look at what you’ve learned…
•How you’ve changed…
•What was hard…
•What was beautiful…
•What you’re leaving behind (thought patterns, relationships, habits, toxic work environment)…
•What you’re bringing with you (positive attitude, opportunity, growth)…
𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬!
Hi friends,
Welcome to my Health and Fitness page.
I started my journey when I was feeling sluggish and heavy. My clothes were tight fitting, I was always tired, had no energy, and was discouraged when I went shopping. I wasn't happy in my own skin.
I knew I had to do something, get back in track and comfortable in my own skin again.
I made the step to change, to press play to an at-home 30 minute workout program daily. I chose to follow a little book that would aid in my clean eating and portion control.
I was in the best shape of my life, which helped me get pregnant.
Now that our little man has been welcomed into the world I am once again committing to my journey. Mom’s can relate, it may be harder to get things done but its not impossible. Its all about finding your pockets of time.
If you're ready to learn more about how you too can commit to 30 minutes a day for a healthier version of you, message me. I’d be more than happy to do this together.
