Hello my little lovelies, and my big lovelies, and all the lovelies reading.
I just wanted to share this kimchi recipe that I made cuz I’m pretty frikkin impressed with myself!
I had been trying to get in my fermented food intake and was spending $$$ on kimchi. Also, lots of the kimchi available, even in places like Whole Foods, Trader ...

Bone broth is sometimes referred to “liquid gold” because of the host of nutrients and benefits it bestows.
Bone broth benefits include:
I’m all over it, yo. So, here is what I’ve been doing and I tell you it is dang tasty!

So, I was so curious when I had heard about DNA Fit. It’s a saliva swab test that will “interpret your genetic data into meaningful fitness or nutrition insights, to help you discover more about yourself and make better informed decisions about your wellness,” and to create “genetically personalized training and eating plans.” Okay, I was sold. I paid somewhere ...

Why have I not written? Let’s just chalk it up to being a terrible blogger. I have this mental block where I can’t write about it until after it’s happened, so the fact that I stayed and stayed and stayed in Mexico… had not represented a closed chapter, so I didn’t write about it. Yeah, I suck, ...

I’m sorry, I am a baddd person
I still feel very excited to be travelling, and I still feel excited to continue. So here I am! Sitting in a coffeeshop in Medellin (well…actually it’s a printing shop with a tiny table, but close enough), with the intention to relay some of the experiences I’ve had these past few months.
I have some random “journal” entries that I have kept, so I ...

I feel like me and fasting just don’t get along, that’s just not what we do. I’m not the type to “forget to eat” (wtf is THAT?!), and I like to have regularly timed meal intervals. Generally every 3 hours, like the good bodybuilder that I am.
So..why am I doing this. I guess…I am interested in stretching my limits. And seeing what I can tolerate. To demonstrate my inner ...

-eat mindfully at every meal
-rate my hunger prior to eating and after eating
-rate my emotions prior to eating, and after eating
Mindful eating involves using all your senses to be aware of your food and how you eat it. Slowing down. Acknowledging your responses to the food without judgement. And tuning in to physical hunger, satiety cues, and even psychological processes, to see how they all interact within your eating.
Will you join me today in ...

Here are some highlights to recap:
I’ll keep this brief…
The journey to NPC Nationals was extremelyyyyyyy difficult! It took every ounce of me, mentally and physically! Every ounce. Everything.
The road was rocky…So many times I was uncertain I could pull it off. I was a nutcase, straight up. Mindfuckery. I trained hard tho, and I gave it my all…and….it ended up working out!
NPC Nationals took place Nov 21 + 22, 2014 in Miami, Florida. Every physique competitor looked AMAZING! These girls were JACKED!!!! It was also ...
