I’ve owned three CrossFit affiliates and a yoga studio, so I understand the importance of showing up to a gym and being part of a community. But being an adult (kind of) I also understand life gets in the way. Work, family, dogs, all things that distract us and sometimes prevent us from actually showing up to classes. So having a gym at home is a great solution to that problem (or excuse)!

Tracking Macros Part 1 | Why Keeping Track Works
Even with the freedom the Own Your Eating lifestyle brings, sometimes, when you’re standing in front of the fridge with the door wide open at 10 o’ clock at night trying to find something to hit those last 20g of protein, it can be hard to remember why tracking your macros is worth the extra energy.
Help! I’m afraid of carbs!

Can you find a reason to be cheerful?
Finding Balance with Flexible Eating | An 80/20 Approach
Whether you’re new to the concept of macros or have been a flexible dieter for quite some time, we still often get the question “should I be eating ‘clean’?”
Many of you might still be skeptical, wondering “how can donuts help me lose weight? That’s impossible!”
Can I Really Eat Anything I Want?
This is the question we get asked most often, we get it, our plan seems too good to be true. But, it’s not. Yes, yes, yes, you can eat anything you want, but you can’t eat everything you want. In short that means moderation. Want to enjoy some pizza? Do it! Just keep in mind you might not be able to eat an entire pizza – unless of course it fits your macros!

Life Lessons from the Road – Jordan
“Be a part of your community”
Jordan and I have known each other since 1990 when we attended Copper Beech Middle School. I’m pretty sure we didn’t like each other at first, he tells a story of me getting him in trouble in Mrs. Mazzeo’s
