Drop a dress size before Christmas? Here’s my thought… What if we climbed 4 mountains instead? Or anything else that just sounds freaken fun?!

What if, instead of obsessing over our so-called flaws and staying stuck in that “keep ourselves small” mindset, we took up space and did something adventurous and exciting?

If you hate the path or the journey, I guarantee you won’t find joy at the destination. But when you embrace the journey—seeing it through fun, strength, and abundance—not only will you hit your goal, but you’ll also become the next-level version of yourself along the way.

This is where I come in.

Before Christmas, let’s work together to create a personalized plan that’s more than being smaller. I want to help you move with joy, tackle challenges that light you up, and feel confident as you level up your health and fitness.

Imagine finishing this year feeling stronger, more energized, and ready to take on whatever adventures are waiting for you in 2024.

Are you ready to stop shrinking and start thriving? Let’s make it happen! Drop 'adventure' in the comments below and I'll send you the deets —limited spots available. 💪✨

I'm home!!

It's been 1.5 weeks of living in a house, which I totally appreciate the creature comforts.. but getting back on the trails today made my heart smile so big!

The same dirty boots, the same clothes we had been wearing for over a year (that I thought I wanted new ones because I was sick of them lol), the happy little feet running on the trail.. this is really where my home is at.

This is where I felt 'normal' 😜

Where in nature is your home?

Calorie counting is the pits! The mental effort causes stress, fatigue, and burnout!

Not to mention, the "calories in vs. calories out" equation isn’t valid when hormones, stress, or lack of sleep are in play.

Just because a certain food contains XX calories doesn’t mean your body can absorb or use all those calories. Even factors like the temperature of your food can alter the calorie count and absorption rate.

Equals = COMPLICATED AND UNRELIABLE.

What does matter is the quality of your food. Carbohydrates are not the enemy—but if you’re choosing refined, processed carbs instead of, say, vegetables, expect different results. Pesticides also cause inflammation and interfere with normal metabolism, so don’t forget to wash your produce!

What I’m finding, though, is that most women are really under-consuming protein. Without adequate protein, we tend to overeat other macronutrients, and our bodies start to break down our own muscle as a protein source.

We need muscles, ladies!

I’ve been trying a new protein drink recently, which is super handy for boosting my intake without needing to fire up the BBQ.
If you love soft-serve ice cream, you’ll want to try this too!

Comment "whey" or "plant-based," and I’ll send you a link to my favorite protein drinks—both are loaded with leucine (an amino acid that supports protein synthesis, tissue regeneration, and metabolism).

I'm not a big gadget lover.. I don't like measuring all my steps, and calories and kilometres and heart rate at all times.

It takes the joy out of movement for me. But I will use them to get a gauge of where I'm at, build up my body intuition, then use that as a guide to know how it 'feels'

With all the gear available the BIGGEST measure that gets missed is your cycle! Not just noting the arrival of your period but how your motivation, energy, mood (and more), changes over the month.

If you are not tracking, this is the most powerful data you can use to know your body better and optimise your training.

Do you track? Keen to starting recording and getting to know your body better?
