Spicy Sriracha Shrimp Tacos

These babies are FANTASTIC. You need to have them ASAP. I found them on Pinterest (like all the other moms out there), and then made my husband cook them for me (because although I like cooking, I am too busy hustlin' and my husband respects that). Also I made him buy me tortilla chips. Sometimes I'm better at resisting the urge to eat an entire bag of chips, not yesterday. Ps - exchange the ranch for plain greek yogurt ;) http://pin.it/ltwx5P0 Recipe from this awesome blog - http://peasandcrayons.com/2017/04/spicy-sriracha-shrimp-tacos-with-cilantro-lime-slaw.html xxoo

New Job!

I'm excited to announce that I am working a new TRAINING job! Personal training is different than the CrossFit background that I have, but I am able to apply the same concepts with all my clients! I emphasize good form over heavy or quick repetitions. I preach good food and ENOUGH food. I want to help you LOVE your body inside and out! I am working one on one with clients and in a fun group setting! Message me if you want some information on coming in to see me, I'm working some awesome people over at Wimberly Training  and having a blast! xxoo

the never-ending fitness goal struggle & how to get through it.

In August of 2015, I started my first month at Northwest Iron. I was SO nervous. I've only been a member of one other CrossFit gym (which I went to for 2 years!). I started off slow, getting to know people and coaches, and trying to find my place in the gym. I was LOW on the totem pole there, which was a tough transition from being one of the top-dogs at my previous gym. I was humbled daily, but more than that I was SO motivated by the strong powerful and fast women that surrounded me in each workout. I started a nutrition plan in November and I just KNEW that I would immediately start hitting my goals, and turning into a lean-mean-CrossFitting-machine. Fast forward to January and there I was, crying every day and super stressed out because I wasn't doing ANYTHING better. Sure, I had lost a few pounds and a few inches, but I didn't feel anywhere NEAR close to doing better during a wod, or hitting any bigger numbers in my lifts. One day some of the trainers and I were ha...
