Breakfast is one of my favorite things to meal prep for! Oatmeal can be made the night before in ways that last you all week. My favorites are baked oatmeal and overnight oats. This peach carrot baked oatmeal is #nutritiouslydelicious! Anything you can sneak a serving of veggies in to is a keeper in the kitchen! You can find this on my blog!

Let’s talk #miscarriage. New post is up (www.bodycompassdiscovery.com) where I share my experience. It is honest, it is hard to read and it needs to be voiced more often. 1 out of every 4 pregnant women lose a baby, but no one feels they can open up about it. We feel isolated, we are frustrated with our bodies and it affects our relationship with our partner. #sharethetruth so more people can understand something so common and natural. . .

As my birthday draws near (feels like the first few months of this year have blown by) I am even thankful for the changes I have made. My 30s have already been so much better than my 20s- and I owe a lot of that to my inner self. The most that I finally started to take care of, to understand, to fuel. Life is still a roller coaster but I handle it better. I’m getting older but I’m growing in to my best version. I did a post on the blog about how to embrace your 30s, something I had always dreaded honestly. I wanted to share the tips that helped me get to my highest point over the years. You can find it through the link in my bio! . . . . #bodycompassdiscovery #growbetter #30sandfit #betterinmy30s #betterwithage #makebetterhappen #moveforward #positiveenergy #selfimprovement #motivatingwomen #becomethebestyou #lovewhoyouare #tipsforlife #womenhelpingwomen

Are you a fan of chicken and waffles.... but not the guilt? Try out my healthier version! I decided to jump on board with this breakfast trend but I wanted to create an option that wasn’t fried and loaded with calories. These are gluten free and even have bacon added! The secret is in the batter.... literally 😋 You can find my recipe on the blog to start your morning off delicious and satisfied! . . . . #chickenandwaffles #bakedchicken #morningnoms #eathealthier #betterchoice #glutenfreebreakfast #baconandwaffles #breakfastwin #bodycompassdiscovery #healthier #recipeshare #eeeeeats #feedthefamily #forkyeah #weekendbreakfast #getinmybelly #waffles #foodie #brunching #proteinpower #breakfastinspo #healthybreakfastideas #eeeeeats #inmykitchen #ilovebreakfast #gfeats #breakfastofchamps #carbthefuckup

As 2017 ends and 2018 begins I am more excited than ever about sharing my kitchen creations. This past year I finally reached over 100 recipes on the blog! I can’t wait to reveal more new tasty bites for all of you healthy foodies out there in the year ahead! If you are new to the blog I’ve got smoothies, breakfast, snacks, lunch, dinner and treats for you (link in bio). I really find value in meal prep and showing how simple it can be. I cook with the mindset of everything in moderation, so I’m not focusing on only one type of food. If you are gluten free, dairy free, vegan, paleo or whatever your preference I have something for you! If you are a follower then what would you like to see more of?? I’m aiming to bring more sheet pan dinners and freezer meals to the blog soon! . . . . #eatbetterlivebetter #nutritioniskey #bodycompassdiscovery #healthyeats #glutenfreefood #veganeats #paleorecipes #21dayfixapproved #whole30recipes #mealprepideas #sheetpansuppers #easymeals #healthycooking #quickandhealthy #recipeshare #eattonourish #foodisfuel #healthyfoodie #forkyeah #heresmyfood #frommykitchentoyours #cookathome #feedthefamily #cleaneatingrecipes #foodblogfeed

My motivation for the new year is ME. I want to get back to my personal best and stay as healthy as possible so I can become a mom next year. You should only compete with you. Find that part of you that you want to discover again and let it drive you. For years I have been mostly eating clean and gluten free, but I believe in moderation and portion control. I work out at home and am never bored with my fitness options. I load my body with raw superfoods each day to fuel me. You can follow my progress or you can do it with me! . . . . #findyourstrong #beatyesterday #strongnotskinny #getfit #betterforit #reachyourgoals #livingthefitlife #homeworkouts #becomethebestyou #changeyourbody #gettoned #livecleantraindirty #fitmotivation #fitmomfam #homecardio #nogymnoexcuse #nutritioniskey #buildingabetterme #transformyourself #eatbetterlivebetter #investinyourself

I do not blog full time, it’s just my passion. I am actually an artist and graphic designer. Whenever I let that creative side come out it reminds me how big of a part of me it truly is. Making this cute little cutting board design took just 10 minutes because I designed from the heart. I LOVE COOKING. It’s therapeutic to me and food styling has become a new art form. Plus, the kitchen does really bring people together- especially during the holidays! **Oh, and if anyone wants to order one of these just hit me up, I can make and ship to you for $60! . . . . #lovewhatyoudo #cuttingboardart #thekitchenistheheartofthehome #foodbringspeopletogether #fortheloveoffood #findyourpassion #createdaily #graphicdesigning #funwithfonts #feelingartsy #myartisticside #bodycompassdiscovery #cookoften #cookforthefamily #foodislove #findjoyintheordinary #kitchenart #giftsforfoodies #giftsforcooks #thiswomancancook #artfromtheheart

Often we feel like life is happen to us rather than for us. If it was a breeze we may not learn how to feel, or what happiness is. We are challenged so we can become better. We hit downfalls so we can rise up. . . . . #bodycompassdiscovery #thinkaboutit #quotestoliveby #quoteoftheday #dailyinspo #instaquote #lifelessons #thoughtoftheday #lifequotes #quotesandsayings #quoteme #motivateyourself #takecontrol #selfimprovement #makebetterchoices #strongereveryday #dontresistchange

This time last year I was about 8 months in to blogging and 3 months in to online coaching. I have come so far in just one year! ______ I started my health journey about 5 years back but I didn't really know what I was doing. I just knew I wanted to be better than that co-dependent college party girl. I started to eat better and fell in love with cooking and exercising. I didn't really follow a plan or program so I improved but became a master at maintaining. That's great- but I wanted to challenge myself. I wanted abs before kids, I wanted to be better in my 30s than my 20s, I wanted to see and feel a visible difference. ______ When I started coaching it was the perfect fit for me. I could help others get results and improve their habits while at the same time becoming the best version of myself. Within the first 6 months I finally started to see definition I had never had before. I got really into a program called PiYo and became a certified instructor. I also learned how to meal prep like a boss and properly portion food. Plus, the right foods I should be putting in to my body to make a lifestyle change instead of trying out different diet trends in order to lean out more. I toned up just the way I wanted and in the process became a happier, more confident woman! ______ I have learned that if you make your goals a priority you WILL reach them. It has developed not just in to something I am extremely passionate about but a consistent daily habit to improve myself. There is no going back for me- 30 is the new me! The BEST me! I didn't have much to lose, but I have truly GAINED. Some of it has been in ways I didn't know would be effected- like better skin and hair. With this change in mindset has come an inner strength and physical strength that I did not realize was in me, but always hoped for. No more toxic relationships for me because I have come to respect myself. No more second guessing myself because now I feel unstoppable. No more feeling of discouragement in what I have or don't have because I know I CAN CHANGE. ______ ANYONE can make this their story too! I want to help other women discover themselves the way I did! ______ Photo credit to Sirrah Lore
