Be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire
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 →

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 →
