Destination Begin

My Paris trip adventures including my experience honoring my inner self instead of eating my way through the treats of the city every day.

I’m in Paris! Part 1 of my European travel experience! I landed in London and had a quick visit before Paris! The stained glass in Saint Chappell cathedral offered a beautiful perspective on the chapters of life. Struggle to reconcile painful chapters? Me too. Listen.

My intentional food plan deviations at the Minnesota state fair and letting the “pig” out of the cage. Also a special treat, Amanda joins me to tell all about our epic run to the fair and everything we are.

Operation Honey Bun explained, plus thoughts on how to see slow weight loss in a new way, what your purpose is and the Minnesota State Fair

Cheating on your diet, breaking your commitments and eating off plan is discussed along with “what is pig slop?”

Miami update, post-show binges, friends who call you higher and using visualization to create a new reality.

My show is over and I spent a week in Minnesota having fun and dealing with post-show diet reverse. The pendulum swing of the hyper restriction to “food party” is a process to manage. All the fun, GI distress and food treats plus how I’m dealing two weeks later with my physique changes.

Nutrition Q & A- Macro-based eating, protein options, eating out on a diet, water intake, how to start a weight loss journey and more.

I took the stage again in my third bodybuilding competition at The NPC Twin Cities Open on July 9th. It was my first time competing as a Wellness competitor and my experience was fun and full of learning as my prep culminated in a full, fun, winning day!

An update on my final 10 days before show. It’s Wednesday of snow week so 3 more days to stage. Weight loss, salt and more salt!
