I love coffee for giving me energy, making me happy, helping me go to the bathroom, and because it is so damn delicious. During the summer, I am strictly an…

My Workout Journey

If you’ve been following my blog for a while, or if you read my about me page 😉 you know that I wasn’t always interested in health, nutrition, and fitness.

5 Healthy (Cold) Lunch Ideas

So I recently started working a new job – Operations Manager at LA Fitness. I try to bring my own lunch with me everyday, but with there being no way to heat my food, thinking of what to bring without getting sick of things has been a challenge.
