We’re coming up on full term with Baby Hetrick, y’all! Maternity ward tour is done, baby boot camp was a success (C officially knows how to change a diaper!), and the doctor says everything is looking good. It’s crazy to think that in as little as a week and a half, we could be holding…
Getting in Your Protein While Traveling
This post is sponsored by Great Lakes Gelatin. All unbiased opinions below are 100% mine – I used this product long before they offered to sponsor this post! Sticking to your macros and getting in your micros when you’re not at home is hard. Carbs and fats are so easy to come by. Just stop into…
Maternity Photoshoot Dress Help Needed!
We’ve hired the amazing Becca Sue Photography (an expecting mama herself!) to take our maternity photos next month – yay! Becca took the photos for our announcement and I could not be more pleased with how those turned out, despite how I felt that day. C and I decided to go a little glam with…
Perfecting the Product Flatlay
Y’all know I love my LipSense side business. It’s brought me out of my comfort zone, introduced me to some great new friends, and of course, provided some extra funding for those “wishlist items” without dipping into the hub and I’s budget. As I look across some of the ladies that are successful in this business,…
Creating Recipes in MyFitnessPal
When I first started tracking macros, I did what a lot of girls do – found easy meals that hit my numbers and tried to vary as little as possible. A girl can’t live on #strugglechicken and sweet potatoes alone, though! I missed my favorite foods – a warm bowl of chili in the fall,…
Pregnancy Update + A Nursery Preview
This past Saturday marked 27 weeks pregnant with Baby H. Admittedly, I haven’t been doing a great job of documenting this pregnancy and there’s a huge part of me that feels like I should. This is our first little one, after all!
Loaded Cauliflower Baked Potato Soup (Instant Pot)
When the weather drops down below freezing, the only thing that seems to hit the spot is something warm and comforting. Baked Potato Soup from Panera, while delicious, isn’t exactly macro-friendly. So, I set out to make my own lightened up version. In this recipe, we’re swapping half of the white baking potatoes for pureed…
Low Fat, Low Carb Buffalo Chicken Dip
Part of the reason I think I always failed at losing weight before is I could never get past my love of comfort food. I thought dieting meant salads, veggies, and bland protein, which was never sustainable for me beyond a few days. IIFYM was a game changer for me. The flexibility to fit my…
Tips for Choosing a Macros Coach – IIFYM Dieting
It’s a new year, which means New Year’s Resolutions, a lot of which are likely to focus on weight loss. I’ve been an advocate of the IIFYM (If It Fits Your Macros, also known as Flexible Dieting or just Macros) lifestyle for three years now. It helped me reach my target weight after years of…
Resort Recap: Secrets Aura Cozumel
Every October for the past three years, the hubs and I pick a weekend and jet off to Cozumel, Mexico to stay at Secrets Aura. The location makes for a quick trip we can accomplish over a long weekend, the amenities meet our needs, and the price really can’t be beat. I mean, what more…
Fit Guy Gift Guide: Stocking Stuffers
You’ve got FIVE shipping days left until Christmas! Eek! If you’re anything like me, most of the gifts are wrapped and under the tree, so it’s on to the stocking stuffers. These little gifts are some of my favorite to buy. Still, I often leave them until the end. So, if you’re still on the lookout for…
Review: Marriott’s Delta Hotels Brand
One look at my travel logs or Instagram feed makes it pretty obvious – I’m a Marriott loyalist. So, when I had a chance to book a stay in their (relatively) new Delta Hotels brand of properties on a recent business trip, I took it. Marriott opened its first Delta Hotel in the US in…
