My Road to Better Nutrition & An Active Life

Remember that phrase, "You are what you eat"?

What does that really mean, right? I'm obviously not going to turn into a carrot or a watermelon if I eat too much of either, so how much truth is there to this long-standing saying?

There is oh-so-much truth to it! When you eat crap, you feel like crap. No energy, no glow to your skin, no brightness in your eyes.

Over the last two years I have overhauled my diet to contain principles that I have learned from a few different nutrition sources. After losing weight, having TONS of energy, and a new zest for life, my diet encouraged me to start my own path toward a career in nutrition and wellness. As a Certified Personal Trainer, I have learned even more on how to live a life full of good nutrition and lots of FUN activity! I am no expert (yet!), but I have learned so much to help both myself and my husband achieve better levels of health and, in turn, energy and happiness!

The best thing that I've learned? Exercise doesn't just happen in the gym!

My husband and I love doing new activities together!


Canoeing in the Boundary Waters of Minnesota.


On a family ski trip in Big Sky, Montana.


 Hiking in Yellowstone.

So don't worry so much if you didn't make it to the gym today, just get out there and be active!
