Healthy produce haul. Back to eating well.
I'm documenting my journey, from nutrition and training to what I'm reading and learning, and sharing it with you. Follow along.

Balanced Plate check.

Spinach🥬 is low in carbs but high in nutrients. It supports the body, just not as a primary fuel source.
Today’s carb was a croissant🥐, which isn’t fiber-rich so I’ll be intentional about adding a complex carb later.

One food choice doesn’t break balance.

A family favorite. Mashed celeriac root with sauteed leeks & garlic.

Celeriac (aka celery root) may not be pretty but it’s a powerhouse root veggie!
It has a mild, celery like flavor and makes an amazing lower carb alternative to mashed potatoes.

✨ Why choose celeriac?
• Fewer carbs than potatoes
• High in fiber for digestion & fullness
• Rich in vitamins like K & C

I mashed it with sautéed leeks, garlic, and real butter 😋 Comfort food with a nutritious twist.

Have you tried celeriac before?

Unfortunately tomorrow’s class is canceled.😢

I thought I’d feel better but I don’t. I need to rest & heal in time for the NYE’s event. See you in the New Year, HTTB dancers! ❤️

Client Spotlight‼️

Six weeks in and she’s already down nearly 7 lbs — steady, healthy progress! 💪🏾
When she first reached out about one-on-one training, she said she was ready to make a change. I’ll be honest, I was a little hesitant at first, so many say they’re ready but never follow through— but she proved she was serious! Since day one, she hasn’t missed a single session.

Today’s 6 week assessment showed even more progress — not only is she down in weight, she’s also lost inches and improved her mobility and range of motion! We’re building strength, muscle, and endurance every step of the way! 🔥💪🏾💪🏾😊

If you’re ready to start building your own strength story, let’s get started together!📩 DM or email me at odie444410@gmail.com

Does anyone have a battle rope that they are not using and not planning to use? If yes, would you consider donating to Boston Square Wellness Collective ? We are in need of 2-3!
