Anyone else?! 🙋🏼‍♀️😂

But you know what? I'm okay with it.

When I'm home and in my normal routine, I stick to my nutrition plan 90% of the time. So when vacation comes around and I eat more restaurant meals (tots and fries 🤤), cocktails, snacks, and other joyful foods than I normally would... That doesn't erase my progress.

Because my goal isn't to eat perfectly. My goal is to build a healthy life that I actually enjoy living.

This vacation, my priorities were simple:
💚 Move my body every day
💧 Stay hydrated
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Make memories with my family
🍟 Eat the food I wanted without guilt
🌊 HAVE FUN

And now that I'm home, I'm not "making up" for vacation.
I'm not doing two workouts a day.
I'm not surviving on salads.
I'm not punishing myself for enjoying a weekend.

Because honestly?
That would probably do more harm to my body—and my mindset—than the vacation ever did.

One weekend doesn't determine your health. Just like one salad doesn't make you healthy, one weekend of eating differently doesn't make you unhealthy. Your overall pattern matters.

So if you're coming home from vacation feeling like you need to "get back on track," here's your reminder:
👉 Get back to your normal routine.
👉 Eat nourishing foods.
👉 Drink your water.
👉 Move your body.
👉 And give yourself some grace.

You don't have to earn your vacation. You don't have to punish yourself for enjoying it.

Control what you can control. Let go of what you can't. And make room for the memories, too. 💚

Sunday Share 🌿 | Another small step toward a cleaner lifestyle

I've been making some changes around our house over the past year. First, I swapped many of our plastic food containers for glass. You've probably noticed I cook in stainless steel pans.

And now I'm taking a closer look at something else:
What I'm putting ON my body.
Makeup.
Perfume.
Personal care products.

I recently started going through some of the products I've used for years and checking them in the EWG Healthy Living app. And let's just say… 😳 Some things weren't what I expected.

So I started tossing a few products and looking for alternatives. Not because I'm trying to create a perfectly "toxin-free" life. I'm not. And I'm definitely not telling you that you need to throw out everything in your bathroom cabinet. 😂

This is simply a choice I'm making for myself as I learn more about the ingredients and exposures I can control in my everyday environment. And that's really the point. We can't control everything we're exposed to.

But we CAN become more aware.
We can ask questions.
We can check ingredients.
We can make a different choice the next time we need to replace something.

One swap. One habit. One decision at a time.

The EWG Healthy Living app has been a helpful resource for me because I can search or scan products and get more information about the ingredients and their ratings before I buy.

It's not about fear.
It's about information.
Because I believe knowledge is power—and I want to make decisions about my health with my eyes open.

So if you're curious, download the app and start with ONE product you use every day. You might be surprised by what you find. And if this isn't something you want to do? That's okay, too. ❤️

I'm simply sharing what I'm doing as I continue to clean up the things I can control. Because Train For Life isn't about perfection. It's about taking care of the body you're going to live in for a very long time. 💚

What if moving more didn't require MORE time?

I'm working on something to help adults 35+ who have 20+ items on their daily to-do list build a simple daily movement habit that actually fits real life.

🚫No perfection.
🚫No adding another overwhelming thing to your plate.
☑️Just a simple way to move more, feel better, and start training for life.

👀 Something is coming. Follow along—you’re going to want this one.

I cried. Not because of a number on the scale.
Because I realized how far I had drifted away from me.

And here's what I wish more women knew:
I didn't get myself back by suddenly finding an hour every day...I started with 10 minutes.

If you're a woman over 40 and you've got 10 minutes to strength train...this is where I'd start!

Because I know what your day looks like.
You've got kids who need rides.
A workday that somehow turned into a 12-hour day.
A parent who needs your help.
Dinner to make.
Laundry to fold.
A million things on the calendar.

And somewhere in the middle of all of that, you're thinking:
"I really should workout...but I don't have an hour."

Here's the thing:
You don't need an hour. If you've got 10 minutes, you can do something incredibly valuable for your body. And I'd choose movements that give you the biggest return for the time you have:

🏋️‍♀️ Air squats → stronger legs for stairs, chairs, floors and everyday lifting.

💪 Hands-elevated push-ups → upper-body strength for pushing, carrying and getting yourself off the floor.

🍑 Glute bridges → stronger hips and glutes for walking, climbing, lifting and staying stable.

Try: (at your own pace)
10 AIR SQUATS
10 ELEVATED PUSH-UPS
10 GLUTE BRIDGES
Repeat 3-5 times

Nothing fancy.
No 17-exercise circuit.
No complicated choreography.
Just three foundational movements that train your body to keep doing the things you actually care about.

And that's the difference between exercising just to exercise... and Train For Life™.

Because I don't want you spending your limited time working out just to burn calories. I want you spending those 10 minutes building a body that's strong enough to:
Get off the floor.
Carry the groceries.
Climb the stairs.
Lift the suitcase.
Play with your kids.
Chase your grandkids.
Say YES to the adventure.

💚 Save this carousel for the next day you only have 10 minutes.

September, we’re keeping it simple. 🍎🍂

No starting over.
No waiting for the “perfect” week.
No adding more to an already-full plate.

Just finding those small pockets of time to take care of ourselves, too.

5 minutes here.
10 minutes there.
One good choice at a time.

Because busy doesn’t have to mean putting yourself last.

What are YOU manifesting for September? 👇

08/31/2026

I used to think I had a willpower problem.

Breakfast? Eggs. 🍳
Lunch? A deli sandwich. 🥪
4pm? 😳

I was standing in the pantry eating anything I could find. And then I'd wonder, Why can't I control myself?

The truth?

I wasn't out of control. I was underfed and not building meals that kept me satisfied.

Fast forward to now, and one of the biggest changes I've made is adding MORE plants and fiber throughout my day—not eating less.

Because fiber helps slow digestion, supports fullness, and can help moderate how quickly blood sugar rises after a meal. And when I pair that fiber with protein, I stay satisfied SO much longer.

Here's what a typical day looks like for me now:

🍳 Breakfast: Protein + sautéed onions, mushrooms, bell peppers and/or spinach

🥤 Morning snack: Protein shake + spinach

🥗 Lunch: Usually leftovers and ALWAYS a side salad + toppings —pickled onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, beets, garlic, goat cheese

🥩 Before I leave school: Jerky or a beef stick, peanut butter-filled dates, or raw veggies with a yogurt dip

Notice what changed?

I'm not obsessing over food. I'm not trying to "be good" all day. I'm simply building meals that work WITH my body instead of leaving me ravenous by 4pm.

And this is something I want YOU to hear:

You don't need more willpower. You may just need more nourishment. Your body is going to keep asking for food when you haven't given it enough of what it needs to feel satisfied.

So before you blame yourself for the afternoon pantry raid...

Take a look at what you ate earlier in the day.

Were you getting enough protein + fiber + actual food to keep you going?

That's where I'd start. 💚

Sunday Share ❤️ | This is why I started PEP FIT

This building will always mean something different to me. This is the James Cancer Center—where Jared received two of the biggest treatments of his cancer journey: CAR-T and his allogeneic stem cell transplant.

And every time I see it, I think about the strength I had built before we ever walked through those doors.

For 10 years before Jared's diagnosis, I had been consistently training. I had no idea I was preparing for one of the hardest seasons of my life. But I believe that physical strength gave me mental strength.

It taught me to show up when things were hard. To stay grounded when things were uncertain. To focus on the next right thing when I couldn't control the outcome.

I honestly don't know how I would have navigated that season without it.

And that's why I created PEP FIT.

Because we are so good at taking care of everyone else that we often forget about ourselves. And the toll can be real.

PEP FIT is for the woman who's raising kids, helping aging parents, working, running a household—and constantly putting herself last.

I want you to build your strength BEFORE life demands MORE of it from you.

Because you don't get to choose the curveballs.
But you can choose to prepare for them.
That's what Train For Life means to me.

You train when life is good, so you're stronger when life gets hard. 💚 That's why PEP FIT exists.

Ready to join? Use the link in my bio to apply to work with me. Let's make sure it's a good fit and start training for life! 👊

It's water. 💧

I recently had a conversation with a PEP FIT member who works at a local school, and she told me she's been feeling a little… off.

The first couple weeks of school have been A LOT. Workouts have been harder to fit in. Nutrition hasn't been quite as consistent.

She's getting back into the school-year routine and, like so many of us, she's trying to figure out how to make everything work again.

But there was one habit she noticed had fallen off that she fixed right away:

💧 Hydration.

And she was shocked by how much better she felt.

She said her body just felt better—and that one simple change made these hectic first few weeks feel much more manageable.

Here's why hydration matters:

When you're even mildly dehydrated, you can experience things like fatigue, headaches, difficulty concentrating, and feeling generally run down.

And let's be honest…

If you're already spending all day working, then picking up kids, running to practice, checking on aging parents, making dinner, and trying to squeeze in a workout…

You don't need another thing making you feel depleted.

Sometimes taking care of yourself starts with something incredibly simple.

💧 Keep your water bottle where you can SEE it.

On your desk.
In the car.
At practice.
Next to your computer.

Because if it's tucked away in your bag, there's a good chance you'll forget about it.

You don't have to overhaul your entire routine this week.

Start with one simple habit.

Drink your water.

Then build from there.

That's what the Train For Life Method™ is about.

Small, sustainable habits that help you feel better and give you the energy to keep showing up for the life you're living.

💚 What habit makes the biggest difference in how you feel when life gets busy?

Today in Physical Education class, we were doing our Upper Body Fitness Challenge.

And I had a choice.

I could explain to my students how to do a pull-up and a flexed-arm hang…or I could show them.

I chose show. 💪

Because after 19 years of teaching physical education, I have a pretty high standard for myself:

I don't want to be the teacher standing on the sidelines telling my students what to do.

I want to be able to get up there and do it with them. And that doesn't happen by accident. It happens because I train.

I strength train.
I practice the movements.
I build my capacity.
I stay consistent—even when life is busy.

This is exactly why I believe so strongly in PEP FIT's Train For Life Method.

Your workouts shouldn't just make you better at workouts. They should prepare you for the life you're actually living.

For me, that means being able to demonstrate a pull-up to my students.

For you, it might mean carrying your grandkids, lifting your suitcase into the overhead bin, getting up and down from the floor, carrying all the groceries in one trip, or keeping up on vacation.

Train for the things you don't want to lose the ability to do. Because being strong isn't just about what happens inside the gym. It's about having the physical capacity to show up for your LIFE.

And today, I got to show my students what that looks like. ❤️💪
