High-Protein Breakfast Ideas After a Morning Workout
If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll see my near-daily early AM workouts. Every morning, rain or shine, I get up at 5 a.m. and go to the gym. It’s a moment of peace before the day gets busy and a way to ensure I sweat before anything else.
The truth is, I need two breakfasts those mornings—one at 7 a.m. and the other around 10 a.m. If one or both are not high enough in protein, I’m starving for the entire day. The hangry cycle doesn’t break till bedtime. I’ve compiled my favorite post-workout breakfasts that fuel me, and I hope they will fuel you, too.

Finding Wellness in Las Vegas
When my husband asked me what I wanted to do for my birthday this year, without hesitation I said Las Vegas. An answer that surprised him greatly. I'm not really a partier or a gambler. I did need to get out of the house and away from my routine. But I also had another reason why Vegas was the destination of choice - wellness.
Wellness and Vegas are words that are not often used together. In fact, when I told some friends about the plan one of them said the gangsters who founded Vegas were rolling over in their graves at the thought of my trip. I get it, I get it! While it may not be the most popular opinion, Las Vegas is actually a wellness lover's dream.
