Since I’ve moved home my sister has asked for some help with her eating/nutrition. She has given me ‘total control’ over her meals. This isn’t so easy, as she is still in high school and on a different meal schedule as me. So a lot of things will have to be prepared ahead of time, which is not a new idea. The first thing we decided to change up was breakfast. Her old choices were yogurt and granola, which left her hungry by the time she left the house. Enter egg cups! They came out like mini frittata’s, which is awesome.
Here’s the deal:
preheat the oven to 350, put 6 baking cups in a muffin tin. If you have silicone baking cups, please use them!! I don’t. I didn’t. Mine stuck. I thought I greased the cups enough, but I guess not. That’s the next step, grease the cups.
Decide what veggies to put in (I used mushrooms and spinach), and sauté. Fill the cups a little less than half full, I guess that’s 2/3rds full.
In another bowl, scramble 5 eggs, add a splash of coconut milk, and mix. I added 1/4 tsp of basil, oregano and garlic powder too.
After the veggies are in the cups, add the egg mixture on top, so the cups are almost full. I guess that’s 3/4s full.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center. Eat up!
Well, I survived! I made it through my first CrossFit competition! Go me. And my sister. It was an in-house competition, but we have only been going for a few months, so still slightly intimidating. But as scared/nervous/intimidated as we were, it was actually a blast in the end. The energy felt throughout was awesome. Everyone was cheering for each other regardless of teams and no one really cared about the outcome. Cause really, who actually wanted to do the final workout and totally die?? Not me, no sir, no way. Neither my sisters team or mine won, or even came in close to the top, and that is just fine with me. We came, we saw, we conquered. That is just fine with me.
Now for the workout! It was goooood.
WOD 1: 8 minutes to establish a max of either front squat (dudes) or back squat (chicks).
WOD 2a: 40 total reps, broken up how you want for your team of
Wall balls, t2b/k2e, burpee box jumps/step overs, KB swings.
2b: 10 air squats then 100 m run. Now. The standards said ‘break it up how you want’ so we took advantage of that. He did the air squats, and I ran. Muchhhhh better than doing both.
WOD 3: Strongman carry relay. Both need to carry a stone/med ball, keg, then carry together a sandbag that weighed 100 pounds.
Overall the workout was long and hard. But it was awesome in the end. Nothing was too much, but it was a great challenge. Next one we have I will definitely be doing! And hopefully I will be improving as well.

First, comment SLAP and I’ll send you my morning exercise that is great for waking you up and helping you feel better in your body.
Second.. The actually doing something day after day after day is the hardest part!
Most people think consistency means daily- but that’s not true! Don’t fall into that perfectionist trap.
Set an alarm on your phone a few times a day.
When the alarm goes off- don’t turn it off and ignore it- do the thing!
And you’re done!
How do you help yourself remember to be consistent?

Your body functioning better so you feel better in 3 minutes?
It sounds like a stupid infomercial BS claim I know and I roll my eyes every time I type it, but.. it’s kinda true?
Idk, I’ll let you be the final judge

It’s an easy exercise with a silly name, but it actually packs a punch and can really change how you feel.
Imagine measurably more energy and feeling more stable and balanced- and even improving a few MS symptoms here and there too?🤷🏻♀️
Your possibilities are endless!

First year flower garden needed a post. Already looking forward to next summer, maybe a little less yellow? Can’t wait for the zinnias to bloom!

What are you growing??

Thankfully I haven’t heard any of these in a while.. maybe that means I’m getting my point across 🤷🏻♀️
But if you’re new here, I value holistic lifestyle medicine (snake oil 😂) but ALSO conventional medicine, I utilize it all after all.
Yes, what we do as an individual matters for our health.
But so does the health systems we as individuals operate in.
Tomorrow is my MS-aversary, 16 years of having this disease. my newly diagnosed 24 year old self would be pretty shocked that I’m 40 (like in general lol) and also not in a wheelchair.
Here’s to many more years defying what I initially thought to be true about MS.
Comin with me? Hope so.

I’ve tripped a few times in the last few weeks.. nothing crazy, but I noticed.
And I noticed my thoughts… is this a “THING”??
Oh the constant wonderings of an MSer…
is this a regular life occurrence?
Or is this a new symptom? 😂😂
When was the last time you had this thought process??

When you’re living with MS, it’s not that you don’t want to feel better…

Stress, symptoms, fatigue — they throw you off track.
That’s where support, structure, and accountability change everything.
That’s exactly what my membership is for.
✔️ Evidence-based strategies for MS

But seriously.. this isn’t too far off 😂
Life handed me a lemon that was a MS diagnosis at 24.
Life handed me a lemon that was multiple relapses and MS progression by 30.
Then I snatched those lemons, made some healing lemonade, and feel night and day different than I did 10 years ago when my symptoms were at their worst.
I could do it, my clients are doing it, I know you can too.
That’s why I’m so passionate about doing what I do. I know it’s possible for you to feel better in your body and be able to do the things you want to do.
Like go for a walk or hike with your spouse, say yes to a spontaneous night out with friends or get up and down off the floor playing with your kids.
That’s why I want to invite you to the waitlist for what I have coming.
Think, somewhere to go online, where you can: connect with others who have MS, get questions about MS answered, get tools that can help your symptoms, support & accountability to help with actually doing those things.

I have a saying about dealing with MS (and any other autoimmune/chronic illnesses) that inevitably comes up in my work with clients:
“You don’t get it, until you get it”
Meaning, you don’t understand living life with MS (or any of the above), until you live in a body that has it.
Which is why living with MS can be so tough and lonely, because its hard to find people that truly understand what you mean when you say you’re exhausted, or brain foggy or “fine”.
This is also why I believe that having a community of others who get it is invaluable.
I’ve seen countless times over where someone new to one of my groups is able to feel fully seen and heard for the first time, and that is priceless for them and their healing.
They walk away feeling validated, understood and at home, which are hard to come by at the doctors office 😂🙄
You’re not too much
You’re not alone
You’re not lazy
You’re just talking to the wrong people.
If you wanna talk to the right people, I’m creating something for you..
Think, somewhere to go online, where you can: connect with others who have MS, get questions about MS answered, get tools that can help your symptoms, support & accountability to help with actually doing those things..
