FULL time Trainer

I am a Personal trainer who cannot say “no” to the smell of a burger, or desserts that look like this.

Who could say no to that!?

Not me Smile

If you workout regularly and eat healthy 90% of the time like I do, then you shouldn’t feel guilty when you’ve eaten too much, or “cheated” on your diet.

What’s done is done, don’t dwell on it. Today is a new day to start fresh.

Get yourself back on track by eating clean, and making it a priority to get your workout inBy the end of the day, you will forget all about that oh so delicious slice of pie Smile.

Unless it’s still in your fridge, and in that case, throw it away immediately!

Ella is the queen of over eating, yet she remains confident, even after she splurges on table food

We headed over to the lake in Wakefield yesterday evening to walk around, listen to music and watch the fireworks. .

They ended just as a thunderstorm began to roll in at a rapid pace. It was cool to watch a battle unfold between the colorful explosions and crazy zig-zaging lightning in the sky.

Unsafe..but cool

Matt and I were on his motorcycle, and I luckily only got pelted in the face with a few quarter sized rain drops on the way home.

No biggieSmile

This morning’s breakfast was similar to yesterday’s “Crumbled blueberry muffin”, however  this time I decided to scramble it at the end to make the consistency a bit more “oatmeal-ish”

  • 1.5 Tbsp organic coconut flour
  • 3/4 cup liquid egg whites
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 sliced banana
  • blueberries
  • cinnamon and a few drops of liquid Stevia

cooked for 5 minutes in the microwave and scrambled with a spoon at the end.

It was good!, and kept me full all morning.

I just finished my pre-workout snack of Greek yogurt, chia seeds, raw almond butter and blueberries, and will soon be on my way to the gym for a workout.

I have a feeling that Matt and I will be bouncing around a lot today.

My parents are having a bbq, I HAVE to see fireworks, and we will probably end up at our friends house somewhere in between.

Hopefully the rain holds out.

And if not…We dance in it Smile

Dashing Through Disney

Monday was our last day in Florida and we spent the afternoon laying by the pool. We had intended on meeting up with our friends in the evening to bar hop the countries in Epcot, catch the Illuminations show at 9pm and then head over to the Boardwalk for a bit.

Around 5:00, Matt and I drove over to the Sheraton Safari Hotel to meet up with everyone and go down the snake water slide.

Finally ready to go at 6:30, our relaxing evening had suddenly changed. One of our friends who lives in Florida was able to get us a hopper pass to all of the parks…For Free! This meant that we had 6 hours to run around Disney and do much as possible.

We strategized our plan, hoped in the car, and were off!

7pm-9:30 Epcot.

2:15..Breathe again

We have all been to Disney multiple times before, so we knew which rides we wanted to hit. Even though we did not get to do much at each park, catching both firework shows and the electrical parade made up for it.

By the end of the night, our feet were throbbing. We had successfully done Disney World in 6 hrs. We got home around 3am and awoke by 6:30 to catch our 9am flight. I am beyond thankful that I have the rest of the week off.

 It was the perfect little vacation with lots of great memories, yummy food and PLENTY of exercise. We plan on visiting his grandmother again in the fall. This time, I’ll bring better shoes.
