Last Thursday, I had the incredible honor of speaking at the Alpha Delta Kappa meeting about nutrition and the new dietary guidelines, with a special focus on protein and building healthy, sustainable habits.

One of the most meaningful parts of the evening was reconnecting with teachers who once poured into me. Seeing them again after so many years was truly special and a full-circle moment I won’t forget. And….they showered me with lots of Valentine’s cards and goodies. ❤️😘

✨ Follow me on a Worksite Wellness Day! ✨

I kicked things off with a simple, balanced breakfast—egg whites, cheese, berries, and coffee—then grabbed my Amazon boxes and supplies and headed out the door to the office. After loading up my wagon with all the goodies, I hit the road to the first facility where we checked glucose sensors and monitored blood sugars. Water in hand (drinking and driving… the healthy kind 😉), I made my way to the second location.

There, we refreshed the nutrition station, blended up our berry cherry smoothies, met with some wonderful employees, and delivered more glucose monitors. I kept my water with me between every stop to stay hydrated, then squeezed in a lunchtime workout at 509 Fitness —because we practice what we preach!

After the gym, I grabbed a quick lunch—an Oikos protein shake with berries and chia seeds, plus a few snacks between stops. Since I had a Walmart delivery scheduled, I headed home to unpack groceries, ran the kids to practice, and picked up Cabo Fish Taco from the Narrows Farmers Market in between. Instead of scrolling during downtime, I read my book… and just like that, another full (and fulfilling!) wellness day in the books!

Today is National Wear Red Day!

Did you know that, according to the American Heart Association, more than 4 in 10 women in the U.S. have some form of cardiovascular disease, such as heart disease or stroke — a figure that is only expected to grow. Each year, heart disease and stroke kill more women than all forms of cancer combined.

Wear red today to raise awareness of the growing burden of heart disease among our mothers, daughters, sisters and other loved ones!
