Just a reminder that whatever your goals are they take time and effort. It gets hard, messy and frustrating but find a way to keep building habits that help you reach your goals.

You don’t have to be perfect! Do what you can today to stick to your goals.

Might be moving your body. Or drinking your water. Could be adding some fruit or vegetables to your plate. Every little bit helps.

I’m here to help if you need some accountability and personalized coaching. 😀

Limited time and honestly not in the mood. But something is better than nothing so 10 minutes of some movement with weights this am and a quick walk.

Doesn’t have to be perfect!

The Holiday madness has begun:Black Friday, Cyber Monday, sales, decorating, pressure everywhere to do it all. Take a deep breath and rethink those “shoulds” if you can.

Credit to for her post about detoxing. So spot on.

You do not need to detox post Thanksgiving or anytime for that matter. If you enjoy detoxing and find it useful, go for it.

Otherwise, just get back to your regular routine. You don’t have to make up for anything, or burn extra calories etc.

If there’s anything to detox it might be influencers & social media that makes you feel bad about yourself, tries to shame you or insists that you need to work to earn your food. You probably don’t need a cleanses or an expensive new product- you may need to eat some fruits & veggies, focus on your protein and fiber and be good to yourself.

It’s official: holidays are here.

Hopefully, that thought brings joy, not stress. But, let’s be real, it’s probably a mixture of both.

As we head into this season, please be kind to yourself and remember that something is more than nothing. Routines will be disrupted, social commitments may be larger, and something has to give. That’s okay.

Do what you can.

Olive Oil Mashed Potatoes.

The holidays are coming and the food choices aren’t always in our control. 😳

I’ll be honest, when it comes to baking, I want the butter and sugar, and no longer try to make dessert “healthy”. However, when it comes to the side dishes, and main courses, I’ve definitely found ways to keep them delicious, but cut a few things.

Years ago I took out the butter & cream/milk and started using the cooking water and olive oil. Hear me out! Still fluffy, still rich and creamy. And I can’t remember who from my mother-in-laws annual Thanksgiving started adding butternut squash to the mashed potatoes, but I’m telling you it’s fantastic.


Olive Oil Mashed Potatoes
Serves ~8
Vegan, non-dairy

Ingredients:
• 2 1⁄2-3 pounds (1.15 kg) small Yukon gold or yellow waxy potatoes
• 3 tablespoons (45 g) kosher salt or flaky sea salt plus more to taste
• 5 quarts (4.75 l) water
• 1⁄3 cup (80 ml) extra-virgin olive oil plus more for serving

Directions:
• Prep the potatoes: Wash them, and trim off any eyes or damaged skin. Peel if you prefer smoother mashed potatoes, but their is lots of flavor in the skin of Yukon gold potatoes. Cut them so they're all about the same size, about 2-inches in diameter. Leave them whole if they're golf-ball size.
• Put the potatoes in a large pot with 3 tablespoons of the salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are fork tender, but not falling apart, 20-25 minutes.
• Scoop out 2 cups of the cooking water, then drain the potatoes. Add the potatoes back to the hot cooking pot to evaporate any water & dry the potatoes.
• Pour the olive oil over and 1 cup of the cooking water. Mash them with a handheld potato masher, adding more water a little at a time until the potatoes are the texture you like (you might not use all the water). Taste and add more salt, if desired.
• Serve warm, drizzled with additional olive oil.

NOTES
• MASH: Use the right tool. A ricer or food mill, hand-held potatoes masher, or a hand-mixer set to LOW will each activate the residual starches the lease which yield the fluffiest mashed potatoes.

Feel free to add herbs, or roasted garlic. 🤤

Reminder!

If you train, meaning, you exercise with a goal and a plan, or with intention— you are an athlete.

Athletes eat to fuel their bodies and their goals. They train. Be an athlete. Eat well, hydrate, train, rest & recover. It doesn’t have to be complicated.

Happy Monday!!
