Be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire
Over the years, many friends have encouraged me to start a blog. So today, I decided to take a stab at blogging. They encouraged me for a couple reasons. First, my husband and I have a unique story that many couples do not share. One thing that sets us apart is that sisters from my family,... Continue Reading →
Week 1 of training for my first 70.3 triathlon (since giving birth) has been completed and halfway into my second week. In the past, I have joined training groups like Team in Training and Alamo 180, but this time, I decided to go with TrainerRoad since I will be doing most of my bike training... Continue Reading →
No I don't just eat rabbit food... 🙂 I was recently asked what it would be like to eat like a Dietitian and what my dinners looked like. Let me start off with saying, not all Dietitians are created equal. While we all went to college, got a degree, completed a grueling internship and passed... Continue Reading →
Mother’s Day is this Sunday! I am a MOM…oh my goodness! I am still in awe and amazement every time I look at my son knowing he developed inside of me. There is something so surreal about giving birth to a baby. Before I became a mom, I just didn’t understand and couldn’t relate. Now... Continue Reading →
Last weekend, Everitt and I went out to cheer for my husband and brother-in-law racing in the Jacobs Well Road Race. While I was there, I was asked by Matt Sevier, host of Splash Mash Dash Youtube channel, to discuss how power gains on the bike are impacted by nutrition. My first thought was, well...

Fun fact, the first time I made a version of this recipe, I burnt it to a crisp. Why?!? The recipe I was following did not mention anything about liquid so I didn't add any. I thought it was sort of strange, but figured maybe there was enough from the ingredients. Not so much! Now... Continue Reading →

This weekend many of my friends are racing Ironman 70.3 Texas in Galveston! The weather looks great, sunny and warm. Last year, the weather took many by surprise as a cold front blew in and almost froze everyone. So if you are racing, even though the forecast looks warm, I would recommend taking gear for...

Giving birth is as easy as 1, 2, 3…NOT! I think training and racing an Ironman is easier than giving birth. To give you an idea, Ironman training usually is about 4 months of training 6 days a week. On weekends, I would get up around 4am to be at the lake training by day... Continue Reading →
