💪 Ladies, let’s talk creatine (aka the supplement most women overlook but absolutely shouldn’t 👀).

Here’s the deal:
✨ It’s not just for bodybuilders.
✨ It helps boost strength, muscle tone, AND brain power.
✨ It can even support energy during workouts so you don’t feel like collapsing halfway through those squats.

Think of creatine as your “backup battery pack” 🔋—it fuels your muscles so you can push harder, lift heavier, and get more out of your workouts. And no, it won’t make you look bulky (unless you accidentally start bench pressing cars 🚗😂).

I can tell you I’ve seen women hit new PRs, recover faster, and feel more confident in their strength once they start adding creatine to their routine. It’s one of the most researched supplements out there, and the results speak for themselves.

So, ladies—don’t let the guys hog all the creatine jars on the shelf. Grab one for yourself, and let your muscles (and brain) thank you later. 🏋️‍♀️✨

🍗 Dinner stress solved. 🥦

I put together a 5-day dinner meal prep plan that’s high protein, has healthy carbs, and doesn’t take a ton of ingredients or cooking.

Think garlic chicken with sweet potatoes, turkey taco bowls, beef and zucchini skillet, chicken parm, and pork chops with Brussels sprouts. Simple, filling, and totally doable.

The best part? One grocery list, batch cook once, and you’re set for the week.

Want the plan? Comment “YES” and I’ll send it your way.

As a mom and a professional personal trainer, my son has always called our place an “ingredients house” 🏡🥦 — meaning… we don’t have a ton of ready-to-eat junk food lying around. Nope. If you want something here, you’re probably gonna have to make it yourself. 🤷‍♀️💪

What’s in an ingredients house?
✨ Fresh fruits & veggies 🫐🥕
✨ Eggs, oats, nut butters 🥚🥜
✨ Greek yogurt, lean proteins 🍗
✨ Herbs, spices & healthy oils 🌿🫒
✨ Nuts, seeds, whole grains 🌾

What’s NOT taking up space here?
🚫 Sugary sodas
🚫 Chips & cookies that vanish in one sitting
🚫 Pre-packaged “mystery ingredient” meals

Basically — we stock the building blocks for real food so meals are nourishing, not just filling. That means we only buy “treats” occasionally, and when we do… they’re intentional. 😏🙌

So yeah… my son might complain when he wants snacks and all we’ve got are blueberries, hummus, and almond flour — but when you live in an ingredients house, you’re building health from the ground up. 🏋️‍♀️💚

🚫🍷 The Ugly Truth About Alcohol & Your Fitness Goals 🍷🚫

Ladies, I’m about to spill the real tea—and it’s not the kind you sip at happy hour. If you’re wondering why your progress has stalled… that “just one glass” might be the culprit.

Here’s what alcohol really does to your fitness growth:

💤 Slows recovery – Your muscles can’t rebuild properly when your body is busy processing toxins.
🔥 Kills fat-burning mode – Your body will burn off alcohol before touching your stored fat.
💧 Dehydrates you – Which means weaker workouts, less endurance, and a sluggish metabolism.
💪 Blocks muscle growth – Protein synthesis (aka muscle building) takes a major hit after drinking.
🛑 Hormone havoc – Messes with estrogen, testosterone, and cortisol—aka your body’s balance for strength & fat loss.

💡 So… can you still have a drink?
Yes, but treat it like dessert—not a daily habit. Here’s how to sip smart:
✨ Limit it to 1–2 drinks MAX in one sitting.
✨ Keep it to once every 2–4 weeks if you want real progress.
✨ Choose lighter options like a glass of wine, champagne, or vodka soda—skip the sugary cocktails.
✨ Hydrate before, during, and after to protect your performance.

You can train hard, eat clean, and still sabotage your results with too many “just one nights.”
💯 Your goals deserve better than what’s at the bottom of that glass.

It’s not about never having fun—it’s about knowing the cost and choosing what’s worth it. 🥂➡️💪

Listen… when your granddaughter gives you this look with yogurt on her face, you know she means business. 😠😂
Whitley Sage is clearly not impressed that some of y’all are going into the weekend without a plan for joy, movement, or snacks.
(Girl’s already got her priorities straight! 💪🍓)

As her Gigi—and a personal trainer—I’m here to back her up:
👉 Move your body
👉 Fuel it well
👉 Laugh a lot
👉 And give yourself some grace

You’ve made it through the week, and that’s no small thing. Show up for you this weekend in whatever way feels best—whether that’s a walk in the sunshine, a good sweat session, or cuddles and yogurt with your people. 💕

Happy Friday from both of us! 🩷👟💥

Let’s talk about the “slim shot” 💉—aka GLP-1 meds like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro. Can you tell if someone is on it? Maybe… but also, maybe not.

As a trainer, here’s my honest take: I’ve seen clients lose weight through all kinds of methods—nutrition shifts, lifting, cardio, stress management, AND yes, medications like these. Some people drop pounds rapidly and appear leaner in the face, or lose muscle tone if they’re not strength training 💪🏽. But not everyone who loses weight quickly is taking a shot, and not everyone on the shot is even losing weight yet.

👀 So how can you really tell? You can’t. And frankly, it’s none of our business unless someone chooses to share.

What IS my business is helping you stay healthy while you’re on any wellness journey—shot or not. So if you ARE taking the slim shot (and no shame if you are!), here’s what I recommend:

✅ Prioritize protein – GLP-1s suppress hunger, which means you might eat too little. Your muscles still need fuel!
✅ Strength train – Resistance workouts prevent that dreaded “skinny fat” look and protect your metabolism.
✅ Hydrate & move – These meds can slow digestion. Walking after meals and drinking water can help.
✅ Check your labs – Stay in touch with your provider. B12, muscle enzymes, thyroid levels, etc., all matter.
✅ Listen to your body – Nausea and fatigue? Don’t power through. Modify your movement and nourish yourself gently.

✨ Whether you’re using medication, lifting heavy, or healing your habits one day at a time—you deserve support, not shame.

Let’s create space where all journeys are valid. Just don’t skip the strength training 😜💪

Woke up this morning, stared at the ceiling, and seriously considered staying in bed. But then I remembered—movement is medicine. 💪✨

At 45, I don’t bounce out of bed like I did at 25, but I do know that even a simple workout makes a huge difference. It’s not just about hitting fitness goals; it’s about feeling good in my body, clearing my mind, and setting the tone for the day. 🚀

So, I got up. I moved. And guess what? I feel so much better than I would have if I stayed under the covers. 😏

If you’re debating whether to move today—just start. Walk, stretch, lift, dance, something. Your body will thank you. 💃🏽

Drop a 💪 if you’re getting your workout in today!

💪 Fitness Goals for Women 40+ 🌟

Hey, busy ladies! 💕 Let’s talk about the real fitness struggles we face as we hit midlife—and more importantly, how to conquer them! 🎯

Here’s what most women 40+ tell me they need help with:

1️⃣ Boosting Energy Levels:
Between work, family, and life, fatigue can feel constant. The fix? Strength training 🏋️‍♀️ + balanced nutrition 🥗. Building muscle helps boost metabolism and keep you energized!

2️⃣ Losing Stubborn Fat:
Hormonal changes make it harder to shed fat, especially around the midsection. Incorporate HIIT 🏃‍♀️, resistance bands, and consistent movement to combat this.

3️⃣ Feeling Strong & Confident Again:
We lose muscle as we age, but strength training isn’t just for athletes! Add dumbbells or bodyweight exercises 3x a week to feel empowered and capable. 🌟

4️⃣ Prioritizing ME Time:
Life gets BUSY. But you can’t pour from an empty cup ☕. Schedule just 30 minutes a day for yourself—it’s a non-negotiable self-care act.

5️⃣ Staying Motivated:
It’s easy to start, but harder to stay consistent. That’s why having a supportive group 👯‍♀️ or trainer to guide you is key to staying on track.

💬 Which of these resonates with YOU the most? Let’s crush these goals together!

🎉✨ Happy New Year, everyone! ✨🎉

Wow, can you believe it? Another year in the books, and what a year it’s been! 💪 I am beyond grateful for each and every one of you who has followed along, trusted me, and let me be part of your fitness and nutrition journey. Whether you joined my early morning workouts (even when the snooze button was tempting 😴) or tried those protein-packed recipes that may or may not have been an adventure in the kitchen, YOU showed up—and that’s what matters! 🙌

2024 was full of thankful moments—from cheering on your wins, laughing at some “interesting” burpee attempts (you know who you are 😉), and seeing your confidence grow stronger with every step. ❤️

As we step into 2025, my promise to you is to keep bringing the motivation, tips, and maybe a few bad jokes to help you crush your goals. You’ve got this, and I’ve got YOU. 🥂 Let’s make this year full of sweat, success, and maybe a little fun along the way.

So tell me—what’s your 2025 fitness or nutrition goal? Drop it below and let’s crush it together! 👇👇

What’s Been on My Mind Lately…

As a fitness coach with over 20 years of experience, I’ve noticed a growing trend that I just can’t ignore: the obsession with “quick fixes.” Whether it’s crash diets, miracle supplements, or intense workout challenges that promise overnight results, they all miss the point.

Fitness is not about punishment or extremes. It’s about consistency, balance, and finding what works for you. You don’t need to spend hours in the gym or cut out all your favorite foods to see results. Small, sustainable habits will always beat a temporary “hack.”

Your body is meant to feel strong, energized, and capable—not drained and deprived. So, let’s stop chasing shortcuts and start focusing on what truly matters: nourishing our bodies, moving with intention, and staying patient with the process.

💡 What are your thoughts? Are you ready to focus on the long game with your fitness? Let me know below! 👇
