Tips on Eating For Athletic Competitions using some Thrive Forward Principals!

May 22, 2013 By Kasey 7 Comments

Happy Wednesday everyone! I hope you’re enjoying your day. If you missed it, I recapped my first CrossFit Competition yesterday [here]! Reviewing that post motivates me to go to every workout (regardless if it’s CrossFit or hitting the gym for a lift) I get excited to take that step towards progress every day. With every athletic performance, I truly believe that FUELING your body properly is such an important factor in how well you will do. I would always tell my kids with student teaching, it’s like fueling a car. If you try to run your car on empty, what happens? BUT if you give … [Read more...]

April 25, 2013 By Kasey 5 Comments

Happy Thursday all! If you haven’t had a chance to check out the Headbands Of Hope Giveaway – check it out [here] & prepare to be inspired by this beautiful cause. Even though I post a lot of meal ideas on Instagram & on here, I feel like I haven’t shared a cookie recipe in a while! This is one of those recipes where I literally through everything into a bowl & it worked! Trust me, many recipes go unshared based on these experiments not always working BUT this one is a winner! What makes these even more awesome is that I made them at 7am on a Saturday which is not … [Read more...]

Friday Features: Smoothies & BBQ Sauce.

April 19, 2013 By Kasey 3 Comments

Good afternoon everyone! I hope wherever you are that you’re safe. With everything that’s happening today, I wanted to update you on some of my favorite things lately to hopefully just get your mind off of things for a few minutes. As Kelly Ripa said the other morning, her job is to be a entertainment show & that’s what they will do. So even though I am nowhere near the status of Kelly, I do agree that I will do my best to hopefully put a smile on your face while continuing to pray for Boston. Lately, I’ve been starting my morning off with a big green smoothie! I tell ya, I look … [Read more...]

Arnold Classic 2013 Recap!

March 6, 2013 By Kasey 7 Comments

Hey all! Today I wanted to share with you my trip to the Arnold! or the “Awwwnold” – make sure you say it with a sweet accent. This was my second year working the Expo for the Crons Protein Bar booth. Being at the Arnold is always a good time because I get to see a bunch of people & make some awesome connections! Every year this expo get bigger & this year was no exception. At one point (before I realized we had our own hallway to a bathroom) it took me about 40 minutes to get to the bathroom & back! There were so many people in each isle that it took forever. If … [Read more...]

W is for…It’s not WHAT we do, it’s WHY we’re doing it.

February 23, 2013 By Kasey 3 Comments

Good morning everyone! I hope you are having an awesome weekend. So, I’m not going to lie, I originally had the coolest recipe & picture to share today for “W”. I’ve learned in life that not everything goes as planned, right? So, earlier this week I was deleting pictures from my iPhone to make room for the epic amounts I would be taking while I’m here in Boston! I tend to be a bit of a picture hoarder on my iPhone – for some reason I get nervous to delete some pictures EVEN THOUGH I already posted them to Instagram & on my blog! As I was deleting pictures, I accidently … [Read more...]

R is for…My Aunt Rita & Roasted Root Veggie Recipe!

February 18, 2013 By Kasey 5 Comments

Hi all! Started this morning off with a 545am CrossFit WOD! It was an awesome one of push presses (which I upped my max 10 more pounds! woo!), ring dips, sit ups, & double unders! Even after a fun filled day yesterday of yoga (with a bunch of crossfit ladies- so fun!) & a night of family time, I didn’t sleep very well – weird. I basically was awake since 4am so I was ready to go by the time my 515 alarm went off! Sometimes when I know I have somewhere to be in the morning, I almost get anxious & can’t sleep! I think I’m afraid I’ll miss my alarm. Do you ever do this?? … [Read more...]
