Hi, I’m Traci. Welcome!

In a few days, it will be one year since I lost my

In a few days, it will be one year since I lost my youngest sister, Stephanie, far too soon. And for the past couple of days, I've been sort of mentally cleaning house in anticipation of whatever September 22nd may feel like for me.

We all grieve differently when it comes to loss. And every time we lose someone it's a different type of grief. I lost my amazing grandmothers within a week of one another just a few months before Steph died. The way I grieved for them, while still very emotional, was so different from how I grieved (and still grieve) for my sister. Combined, it left me feeling like a cannonball went through my heart - each with their separate holes.

After my sister died, I was in disbelief. I literally couldn't believe what I was hearing. I just couldn't wrap my head around it. I think I said, "I don't understand" a thousand times.

Then, at some point within the next 48 hours, I really don't remember exactly when - I had to have a talk with myself. The first thing I told myself was that no matter what, I still had to be here. My life was still moving forward. My body was still moving around. I still had to eat. I still had to take care of myself.

I know I was perfectly entitled to just crawl into bed for a couple of days to be sad. And I was sad. I just decided (<this is the optimal word) to get up and keep moving.

Throwing the word "exercise" in here now seems a little misshapen, but keeping my body active helped me more than I could have ever imagined.

I did a lot of stuff alone. There were a lot of long walks, runs, spinning and practicing yoga. And in all of that time alone, I had time to think.

I was able to clear my head of whatever heaviness that day brought me. Don't get me wrong, the heaviness came back with a vengeance many, many days, but eventually it lightened a bit. I know all those moments of movement helped me - not just physically, but mentally.

I expect the ebbs and flows of those emotions to stick around for a while. And I'll keep doing the best I can do move with them - not against them, but through them.

The word 'metabolism' is talked about often as bei

The word 'metabolism' is talked about often as being slow or fast, good or bad. But really, our metabolism is just a word that covers all of our body's biochemical processes...even stuff that has nothing to do with body fat or whether or not we gain or lose a single pound.

That being said, when we talk about our metabolism as it refers to weight gain/loss, it can be broken down into three broad categories:

1) Purposeful activity: This is the side of your metabolism that kicks up when you exercise, or do some purposeful activity, like washing the car or taking out the garbage.

2) Thermic effect of food: Eating actually increases your metabolism...literally, as you're eating and digesting food. While this only accounts for somewhere in the neighborhood of 10% of your metabolism, it still brings it up.

3) Resting metabolic rate (RMR): Also goes by basal metabolic rate (BMR), this is where most of your body's metabolism, as you think of it, lives. Your body is hard at work when you're resting or not purposefully active. In a nutshell, your RMR is the amount of energy your body needs to sustain life.

There are a lot of hormones and processes in your body at play that determine what your RMR will be, but you can do a lot to help yourself.

More purposeful activity helps to increase muscle mass, which in turn boosts your RMR. So get moving.

Sleeping, an RMR activity, helps to keep your body fine-tuned and strong, so get enough sleep.

Even drinking water - something as simple as that - helps to give your RMR a little lift, even if it's only for an hour or so.

Do good things for your body and your body will pay you back!

Personally, I don't like to go a few days without chocolate...nevermind a few months.

Anything that feels too restrictive probably is.

Anything that feels too restrictive also causes burnout.

So many of us have experienced burnout, or the lack of desire to continue because what we're doing is too much or too hard or just not benefiting our bodies anymore.

Don't get me wrong...if sodas and vending machine food consume your diet, you need to change things. If that's the case, you don't need anyone to tell you that, right?

Part of eating a healthy "balanced" diet is keeping the balance. And the truth is, it's really unhealthy to restrict yourself from enjoying foods or drinks that might not be 100% spot on.

One of the greatest benefits of eating healthier is that a less processed diet helps to reduce stress...and blood pressure...and cholesterol...and improve insulin sensitivity. All the good things.

Just eat good food that's good for you. A few chips, a glass of wine and a little chocolate here and there won't hurt you.

✨Check the link in my bio for a lifestyle program I'm starting that will teach you everything you need to know about eating healthy, moving more, stressing less...and hitting your goals.

✨The program starts Monday.
✨I've got a great little squad of people already registered.
✨I'd love for you to join us!

Fiber isn't the only thing you should be getting i

Fiber isn't the only thing you should be getting in your diet to improve digestion. There is yet ANOTHER good reason to eat fresh foods...they're loaded with digestive enzymes that help to break down the protein, carbs, and fat that you're already eating. Feeling bloated or like you have a bag of rocks in your stomach? Maybe you need more digestive enzymes. Get them naturally in what you eat! I talked about avocados, ginger, pineapple, and papaya...but there is an abundance of foods that have enzymes in them. The healthier you eat, the more you get!

And don't forget about good bacteria and water. The combination of enzymes, good bacteria, and water is a triple threat against poor digestion.

Healthy habits don't have quite the same allure of a diet that offers quick weight loss. But with a little persistence, healthy habits pay off 10-fold in the longrun.
