I hit the pause button on my prep.

The MRI report made the decision easy—
👉 torn rotator cuff.

And this was the last straw. My hormones are off My body wasn't responding the way it needs to.. Continuing without being able to give my full effort didn't make sense.

At this stage in my life, I am not interested in forcing something that my body was clearly pushing back on.

So here is where I'm at:

✅️ I'm going to heal.
✅️ I'm going ro simplify
✅️ I'm going to keep training

My PTs have said that strength training is the cure for my injury! I was so happy to hear that.

Not starting over.... Just adjusting.

This is what I talk to you guys about all the time.
Life changes
Bodies change
Plans have to change too

That doesn't mean we stop.
It just means we get honest and move forward differently.

I will share what this looks like as I go.

And if you are in a place where something feels off- training, nutrition, anything!

Take this as your reminder:
👉 you don't have to push through everything
👉 you don't have to quit either

There's a middle ground and that's where I'll be for awhile. 🩷💪

And she’s down… because she didn’t quit.

The gym teaches you something most people avoid: how to sit under pressure.

When your heart rate spikes.
When the weight feels heavy.
When your body says, “stop.”

That’s the moment.

Not to quit…
but to adjust.

I slow down, breathe.
Sometimes I sit… sometimes I lay right here on the floor.

Sometimes I try to distract my trainer with a story so I can buy a few extra seconds before the next set 😅

But I don’t leave.

Because this is where it happens.

We’re not just lifting weights in here.
we’re training our response to stress.

And over time, something shifts
you don’t panic as fast
you recover quicker
you stay in it longer

Pressure stops feeling like a threat
and starts feeling like a privilege.

What a gift it is to have a body that can be pushed.
To find out what you’re capable of.
To go a little further than you thought you could.

Health is not guaranteed.
This? This is a blessing.❤️

Today was my first posing session of this prep.
Which meant… I had to put on the bathing suit.

I’m currently 5' 9" and 150lbs, and standing in front of the mirror this morning felt very different than it did a year ago.

For a long time, I struggled to look at my legs. At some point in my life someone told me my legs “weren’t good,” and from that day on I covered them up. Shorts? Rare. Bathing suits? Avoided. Funny how a single comment can stick with you for decades.

But today something shifted.

This is my second prep with Michele, and when I pulled off my sweats this morning… I actually liked what I saw. I will be 54 this year!

Have the last few months been perfect? Not even close. I’ve been dealing with nagging injuries, modified workouts, and plenty of days where things felt slower than I wanted. But I kept showing up.

And the result is a body I’m proud of.

Not perfect.
But strong.
Resilient.
Mine.

We’re 14 weeks out, and today was pose session #1.

What surprised me the most is this:
Going through these preps isn’t just changing my body… it’s helping me love the one I have at every phase 💖

14 weeks out. LETS GOOOOOO.

Traveling to Maine and the snacks are locked in.

I always scope out two things when I land:
✔️ A Whole Foods
✔️ A local gym

Protein? Covered.
Fiber? Packed.
Plan? Intact.

Structure gives me freedom.
Now I can relax, explore, and actually enjoy the trip — because I’m not winging it.

Ready for a great time. 🌊🏋️‍♀️

Strength looks different in every season. Right now, mine looks like healing, adjusting, and training for the long game ❤️💪

As we move into the new year, the pressure to reinvent ourselves is louder than ever.

My algorithm is flooded with weight-loss peptides, GLP-1 shots, and endless images of ever-shrinking bodies.

The message is subtle… and relentless:
✅️ Smaller is better.
✅️ Less is healthier.
✅️ Disappearing is success.

And I need to say this out loud — especially for women:
🔸️You do not need to shrink to be worthy.
🔸️You do not need to numb hunger to prove. discipline.
🔸️You do not need to erase your strength to fit a trend.

My body doesn’t match the current algorithm.
It’s strong. It’s fed. It’s built.
And it supports my life — not just my reflection.

I’m not here to judge anyone’s medical choices.
But I am here to remind women that we don’t have to fall prey to the noise that tells us our value is tied to how small we can make ourselves.

As we enter 2026, I’m choosing:
💚 Living, not shrinking
💚 Fueling, not silencing hunger
💚 Strength, not disappearance
💚 Health that includes mental, physical, and spiritual well-being

Trends change.
Your body has to last.

You are allowed to take up space.
You are allowed to be strong.
You are allowed to choose a different path. 💚

This is my husband.
Same man. Same heart.
Very different chapter. ❤️

The photo on the bottom was taken before he committed to working with a coach.
The photo on top is what happens when consistency, accountability, and support come together.

I wasn’t just watching this transformation — I was coaching him through it.

This isn’t about perfection.
It’s about having someone in your corner when life gets busy, habits slip, or motivation fades.

I see firsthand what coaching can do — not just physically, but mentally, emotionally, and inside a marriage. When one person commits to being better, it lifts the whole household. When you do it together? That’s powerful.

✨ In honor of my husband, I’m opening ONE nutrition coaching spot with a special offer:
👉 Buy one package, get your spouse’s coaching FREE
So you can support each other, grow together, and become your absolute best — side by side.

There’s nothing greater in a marriage than choosing each other and your health.

💬 DM me TOGETHER if you want the spot.

I've been seeing this message a lot on instagram: “Just follow the 80/20 rule!”
But honestly… what does that even mean in real life?

Here’s the simplest way to picture it:

A week has 21 meals (3 per day).
✔️ 80% = 17 meals that align with your goals
✔️ 20% = 4 meals where you build in flexibility

And...this picture?
✨ I’m fully enjoying my 20% — guilt-free, because it fits right into the plan
Check out Emilio's in Belmar for this yummy cabbage dish!

The 80% moves you forward.
The 20% keeps you sane, social, and human.

When you think of it this way, healthy eating becomes a whole lot more doable. 💚

40 minutes of cardio… and I didn’t die. 😂

I thought I hated cardio. Truly. Stick me on a treadmill or stair master for 40 minutes and I’m out. Not only did it feel awful — it made me not want to do it at all.

But today was completely different.

I’m older now. The cardio I hammered through as a young gal is not the cardio I can do today and still feel good. My knees, my joints, and my recovery matter. I’m not interested in beating myself up — I’m interested in aging well.

So Coach Catie and I talked about how to build cardio that actually supports where I’m at right now. She suggested the Myzone heart rate monitor, showed me how to use it, and helped me set up a session that worked with my body — not against it.

Instead of one boring machine, I rotated the skier, air bike, ball slams, and rower. I’d bring my heart rate up to around 85%, let it come down to 65%, then switch. Manageable. Joint-friendly. Honestly? Kind of fun.

The first 20 minutes were steady, chatty, and totally doable.

Then I added a little intensity: 3 single-arm snatches each side, EMOM style (every minute on the minute) for 15 minutes. Your rest is whatever time you have left. Still joint-friendly, still doable, and it felt like playing rather than punishing.

And that’s really the message: cardio doesn’t have to suck — especially as we age.
If it does, you might be stuck in all-or-nothing thinking or relying on “motivation.”

Use your tools.
Honor your joints.
Work with a coach who understands your body (thank you, Catie and Michele!).
Grab a buddy.
Try a heart-rate monitor and make it a little game.

Just get moving — in ways that protect your body and keep you coming back. 💙💪

All you need is one kettlebell to get started. 🔔

With just a single bell, you can:

✅️ Get your heart rate up for a heart-healthy cardio session ❤️

✅️ Build strength that supports your bones and joints 💪

✅️ Train at home, in less time, without complicated equipment 🏡

If you’re over 45, this is a game-changer. You don’t need endless miles on the treadmill or a full gym to improve your fitness. One bell is enough to boost your energy, protect your health, and help you stay strong and independent for years to come.

I’m still learning my kettlebell cleans — and I love it. They’re not perfect (yet), but every class I get a little better. Two hands feels more natural right now, and that’s okay. Progress always beats perfection.

What’s powerful about this process is that it mirrors what my clients experience. When you’re starting something new — whether it’s kettlebells, strength training, or even just building healthier habits — it doesn’t feel smooth at first. But with the right guidance, consistent practice, and a supportive environment, you will get stronger and more confident.

Working alongside Coach Caity at Aspire Fitness reminds me of the importance of staying coachable. Even after years in fitness and teaching, I still seek out experts who can push me, correct me, and help me grow. That’s the same approach I bring to my clients, breaking things down into doable steps, and celebrating progress along the way.

For anyone 50+ who feels unsure about starting (or restarting) a fitness journey: you don’t need to be perfect, you just need to begin. Strength training is not only about physical muscles — it builds resilience, energy, and confidence that translates into every area of life.

I’m proof that it’s never too late to learn, to grow, and to get stronger. My clients are proof too. ❤️
