We found out we were expecting a new member of the family in April 2018, a little over a week after I finished my first round of 80 Day Obsession. For three months, I’d pushed my body to do things I’d never thought possible – I could lift heavier, endure more, and was eating better than ever before. I’d finally […]
When I had my two younger boys, I thought my days of having a flat stomach were over. I’d become sedentary. I couldn’t walk up a flight of stairs without sounding like Darth Vader. My self-confidence was shot. I fell into the trap of thinking, “Well, I’m already over-weight. Might as well annihilate this cake!” My husband convinced me to […]

Trying to eat clean on a road trip can drive you batshit crazy if you let it. We recently made the six hour* drive to Saint Louis with all three boys. My husband signed up for a course to receive his running coach certification, and we tagged along to sightsee. Road trips are usually an excuse to binge on beef […]
Tomorrow marks the first day of Phase 3 of 80 Day Obsession. When we started this program on January 15th, I had no idea how much my body and my mind would truly change. I feel more focused, organized, and in-tune with what I need to do to be a healthier me. The picture on the left is from January […]
Next week, those of us who signed up for this 80 day adventure get to indulge in cookies, donuts, and nachos during Refeed Days. So the cookies have coconut flour, the donuts are made with xanthan gum, and the “chips” for the nachos are apples. My point still stands. These delectable delicacies are made with dirty yellows, or simple carbs. […]
