I recently was inspired by one of those food making videos on Facebook (ya’ll know what I am talking about, they are probably eating up half your news feed right now). So here is my version of a healthy beef wellington. Basically I cut out the butter and made my own puff pastry out of…

breakfast skillet
I told you all I was flexible dieting, so I figured it be nice to share some recipes for fun things I still get to eat. Since I ended my last post with some breakfast food porn… here is how I made it: Ingredients: 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 4 oz lean ground turkey 4 cups…
flexibility is strength
During my juice cleanse reset I spent time reading up on the idea of flexible dieting. Yea, I am sort of boarding the #iifym train (although the best hastag will forever be ownded by CT Fletcher for #isymfs). This does not mean I am boarding the “donuts and squats” train or any of the other weird food fetish…
the juicy reset
After my month and a half long hiatus from posting and well, from training, I am back at it to prepare for the Ragnar relay in October and TriRock in Clearwater in November. To kick things off I decided to do a cleanse. It was also much needed given all the vacationing and drinking I…
Daring to Bear…the food edition
Nutrition is pretty darn important this week too. I plan to eat the hell out of some veggies, while also upping my protein intake so I recover well (so more protein shakes for me). Carbo-loading? Meh… not for me. I’ll stick to carbohydrates I know I can handle, so mainly complex ones from vegetables with…
vegan for a day, or ya know maybe a month
I am obsessed with the whole “eat clean” and “plant-based” movements recently. Nothing against meat, because I still like it. So much so that I originally thought of this *brilliant* idea to go vegan for an entire month, and then quickly redacted (it’s grilling season, so fuck that noise). I certainly have been eating significantly…
the tri “diet”
I have debated seeing an actual nutritionist for an eating plan, but since money does not grow on trees… I have put that one on back burner for now. I have found that if I follow these few simple rules I stay full and feel energized for all my training needs. Overall the theme is…
i think i’d starve if you cooked for me…
Some of my friends (predominately male ones), give me a lot of slack about the way I eat. If food were up to dudes, it be all meat and potatoes. Which is good to an extent… but were are my damn vegetables? Yup, those natural things that come from a garden are indeed edible guys….
1, 2, 3, 4 hours…
I have a pretty laid back relationship with my massage therapist (mind out of gutter folks). By that , I mean I am pretty open with letting him know what’s going on in my life, the more he knows the more he can assess where I’m holding stress in my body. Since I know he is a very well-read individual…
10 minute breakfast
So I found this protein pancake recipe on Pinterest somewhere, tweaked it a little and made it my new favorite pre-workout breakfast. Also good for fuel on days I know I am going to be really grinding out and will need the energy. The best thing about it? It is simple and only takes about 10 minutes…
the challenge: weeks 4-5
I have been bad about keeping up with this… the blog and the challenge. Not that I have let my health slip. In fact I have been going HAM the last few weeks. Picked up Spin classes on Tuesday mornings at 6:30AM and Thursday nights at 6:30PM while also picking up random sub shifts (like…
homemade bars (the kind you eat)
In an effort to truly eat clean, I have been trying to make everything I consume. I started making my own nut butters (which is simply puree’d nuts by the way), and have been making my own “larabars” for a while now. Buying the legit Larabar is in no way bad, since the ingredients are quite…
