March 28, 2013 By Kasey 3 Comments

Hi all! Hopefully you were able to turn some fears into positive thoughts yesterday! It’s something I plan to work on daily. Another thing I work on daily…eating a Base of kale, red onion, sweet potato, roasted brussels, sauerkraut & LIMA BEANS! Later topped with Creamy Tahini Nooch sauce.

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...]

I was like a little kid – so excited to get back into the gym that I went hard. Squats. Lunges. Extensions. Box Jumps. More Squats. Oh, & 2 laps lunging around the track while holding a 25lb plate over my head. I was in POWERCAKES … [Read more...]
