It’s Cyber Monday, which means great deals at some of your favorite online retailers! I’ve rounded up a few of my favorite finds for the fit girl. If you know me in real life, you know I love a good deal – and 6pm.com {the Zappos closeout site} is my go-to for brand name activewear…

Bulu Box Review
Have you heard of Bulu Box? It’s a new subscription box that sends you 4-5 vitamin, supplement, and healthy snack samples to try each month. I was given the opportunity to try out a box last month, thanks to my friends at SweatPink. My box had 6 samples in it, as well as the option…
It’s a Lifestyle
This journey I’m on – it’s a lifestyle, not a diet. Today I woke up and a number appeared on the scale that I haven’t seen in ten months. In less than a month, I’ll be spending 6 days on the beach. The combination of those two factors ordinarily would terrify me, but if I’ve…
Choosing inconvenience
When you travel a lot, you pick convenience at {almost} any cost. Direct flight for $100 more? Done. Upgrading on a red eye to sleep better? Of course. A more expensive hotel closer to where I need to be? No brainer. Not this week. On Monday, I canceled my nonstop flight, gave up an extra…
A Second Show
My second competition prep was totally different than my first. This time, I was able to reverse in advance of prep starting and remained relatively lean throughout, only 6 lbs up from stage weight at the peak. My cut lasted 4 weeks instead of the usual 8-12+ and totaled less than 100 calories. Amazing. {If…
Two Month Break
So, it’s been more than two months since I last posted. In that time, I’ve moved across the country, bought a house, and settled back into life in Texas. It’s been a little insane, and blogging was put on the backburner. Still, I’m excited to be back and enjoying all the fabulous restaurants that have…

Lemon Drop Sugar Scrub
With my first bikini competition only 10 days away, I’ve been doing a lot of research on what I need to do to get ready for the show – beyond the diet and training that’s been my focus for months. A significant concern is making sure I get the tan right. I’ve learned the hard…
The Bag
Soon after I started working with Ashley Leahy to get my eating habits back on track, I realized that relying on shelf-stable tuna packets and protein powders when I travel (which is every week) just wasn’t going to cut it. I turned to Instagram for a little fitspiration on which meal management system to buy….
