I can't believe I'm finally here! I started BBG 1.0 last September but was only able to get 5 weeks in before I had to stop due to my wrist. If you recall, I had wrist surgery towards the beginning of summer. I had waited long enough hoping it would heal on it's own. I had adjusted my workouts but over time my wrist couldn't handle even the minimal amount of weight and pressure I was putting on it. So after 8 weeks of rest post-surgery I decided to give BBG a try again. I started with 4 weeks of beginner training (in July) to ease my ... Read more...
Fall Workout Routine + Fitness Update
It's been a while since I've given you all a fitness update and I figured it was about time. I've been putting it off because honestly my progress isn't as far along as I would have hoped. And it's never easy to share progress when the progress isn't there. But in the interest of being transparent with you and keeping it real (like I always do) I felt I should share as I'm sure I'm not alone and the struggle is real.

Whole30 Final Comparison and Thoughts
The 30 days are over and I'm feeling motivated to keep eating Whole30 as much as I can without letting it consume me. My last few days on the Whole30 were spent on vacation with my family and it was proving to be a little more difficult to eat out in an area that's not Santa Cruz. I was able to get by, but I was feeling very much OVER eggs and like some of my food requests/questions regarding how the food is prepared were not as well accepted as when I ordered out back home. After the Whole30 was over I did indulge a little because ... Read more...
