It must end, the system of do more, eat less!
So, so many times people will reach out to me and ask for a tip, a suggestion or quick guidance. They tell me their story and then some of their goals and I hear them out. Most people will ask if they should do more cardio at the gym, go longer during a […]
Breakfast: Meat & Nuts!
Over the winter I made some changes to my diet and for a time gave up wheat and gluten. In that I decided to give up eating my former daily choice of an oat bran and egg white mixture as my first meal. Many times I would eat it and then get to the […]
A Change of Plans: From Figure to Bikini!
After all my weight loss, in 2012 I wanted to take my journey up a notch and began training to compete in bodybuilding. In 2013 I competed in my first NPC Figure show and did 3 shows that season. After that season, I was hooked! Then I entered into a year-long building season with my […]
That’s A Small?!
Every summer when we enjoy our seasonal treats, the reality of today’s portion sizes hits me. I ordered one scoop for each of my kids and it is really more like two servings overflowing from this dish.

Cauliflower Pizza Recipe….{Kids love it!}
Disclaimer: My husband is the cook of our family, so after he made this meal and we ALL downed it, I wanted to share this great find. Also, we did NOT tell the kids it was cauliflower, but they did smell it cooking in the kitchen and wondered “what is that smell?” Hey, mum’s the […]
A Figure Update….So how can this work for you?
This weekend I am 19 and 20 weeks out from my third season of Figure competing in the NPC. That means I am officially in prep and in a slow diet down (caloric deficit) to get ready for the stage. Last season I was 128 on each of my show days and after this 7-month […]
