I support Cycle for Survival because my daughter Jenna is currently fighting a rare cancer called epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE), a cancer so uncommon that treatment options and research are still limited. Watching her navigate this diagnosis has changed me and made me deeply passionate about supporting rare cancer research and fighting for more answers, more treatment options, and more hope for families like ours.

On February 6, Jenna and our team will be riding together in Paramus, NJ, and I want to do everything I can to help make a difference.

If you know Jenna, you know how incredibly special she is. She is strong, determined, and facing something no 24 year old should have to face. 🌻

If you’re able to donate, even a small amount, it would mean so much to me and to Jenna. And if you can’t donate, sharing this post or simply cheering us on means more than you know.

We’re riding for Jenna. We’re riding for everyone facing a rare cancer. And we’re riding for the hope that one day, these cancers won’t be so rare, so misunderstood, or so difficult to treat. 💛

Support rare cancer research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

If you love pickles and ranch, you NEED to try this! 🥒 This high protein pickle dip is creamy, tangy, packed with flavor, and ridiculously easy to make. I love recipes like this because healthy eating does not have to be complicated. It’s a few simple ingredients, and you have a protein packed dip for veggies, crackers, sandwiches, wraps, or honestly… eating straight off the spoon 😂 🐷 Recipe below 👇
• 2 cups cottage cheese
• ½- 1 cup dill pickles
• 1 tbsp ranch seasoning
• 1-3 tbsp pickle juice, depending on desired consistency
Directions:
1. Add the cottage cheese and pickle chips to a blender.
2. Pour in 1-3 tablespoons of pickle juice.
3. Add in the ranch seasoning.(1 Tb.)
4. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, adding more pickle juice if needed.
5. Transfer to a bowl and serve with vegetables, potato chips, crackers, or extra pickles!

I’ve spent 30 years helping people move their bodies; I’ve always talked about strength, fitness, mobility and health. Watching Jenna run has made me think about movement differently.

We spend so much time trying to make our bodies look better, perform better, weigh less, or move faster. Sometimes we forget the most important thing:

THE ABILITY TO MOVE IS A GIFT 💛

Maybe we don’t need to wait for a diagnosis to change our perspective. Maybe we can appreciate our bodies while they are doing exactly what we are asking them to do.

Move because you can, and be grateful that you can. 💛

Think cables only have one setup? Switching from handles to a straight bar changes the feel, the stability, (core strength!) and how your muscles are challenged. Here are two chest & back classics done a different way.

One phone call changed my life forever, and it reminded me how quickly everything can change. So here’s your reminder, and mine: enjoy your life. Take the trip, watch the sunset, stop saving (whatever) for “someday.” Here’s to August, and to not taking a single day for granted.

Dust off that ball and join me for my high five glutes & core 💪 Aim for 10-15x and 2-3 sets. Save this for your next workout and tell me which move challenged you most!
