I honestly could not have asked for a better weekend. The past two weeks have been rough but this weekend really helped to turn things around. It all started Friday when I made the decision to start making the most of my Monday through Friday! Friday night I went on an amazing date with Neal,…
This was such a refreshing weekend for me! After two weekends traveling for football games, it was so nice being home. Since our game was in Baltimore Saturday night, I was able to spend Saturday running errands, doing things around the house, and resting. Saturday morning Neal and I enjoyed breakfast and a little shopping…
We’ve all heard the saying, “there’s no I in Team”, but that saying has taken on whole new meaning as a member of the DC Divas football team. Being a member of a team means pushing through and… Recognizing the areas you need to improve upon Encouraging others, both when they’re feeling great and when…
I have spent the past 5 months prepping for this past weekend and it was everything I had hoped it would be! Friday afternoon Neal and I headed to Pittsburgh, PA for my first football game against the Pittsburgh Passion. After the 3.5 hour drive to Pittsburgh we met up with two of my teammates…
This past weekend I played in my first football scrimmage as the center for the DC Divas. I was nervous going into the game but was excited to get on field and to play some football! I left the game with a few bumps and bruises but overall felt great. It’s hard to believe that…
This was one fun carb loading weekend!! Although I may be feeling slightly stuffed, I had a great time and enjoyed every moment. It all started Friday night with a nice bowl of pasta! I browned 1 pound of extra lean ground beef and then added a jar of Classico Caramelized Onion and Roasted Garlic…

This was a fast weekend and quite a hodge podge weekend. It was filled with lots of events and errands, but has definitely left me feeling more organized and refreshed. Though I wish I had one more day… don’t we all… I’m grateful for these past two days. The weekend started bright and early Saturday…
Some days I love playing football and other days, like yesterday, I just want to go home and relax after a long day of work. I’ll be the first to admit that I was in quite the funk when I first arrived at practice yesterday but my amazing teammates quickly helped to boost my energy…
This week was all over the place… a hot and cold week if you will. Even now I struggle to put into words how I’ve felt, how I’m feeling, and how I want to feel. There were a lot of highlights this week including moving into a new apartment, getting a new computer, catching up…
Today has been everything I needed it to be. After a rough week, I needed to leave today feeling refreshed and back in control of my life. Little did I know that my Thursday night shopping trip would play a huge role in today’s happiness. On Thursday night, I headed over to Old Navy to…
I thought it’d be fun to start a series called Day in the Life, where I randomly share a day with y’all. The good, the bad, and the ugly. I did this once back in September but would like to do it more regularly as a way to show you how my days go. It…
This was just about the wildest weekend. When all was said and done, I don’t think I’d ever want to go through it again, but there were a few positives… I started Saturday morning with a protein packed breakfast in preparation for my football training camp. As part of my breakfast I made a smoothie…
Starting in January, I will have football practice two week nights a week from 8PM-10PM. In preparation for these late night workouts, I’ve moved all of my workouts to evenings. Last night I took a new class at Gold’s Gym called Sports Conditioning at 7:45PM. I threw on some of my favorite Reebok gear, including…
Yesterday was my second football practice as a rookie on the DC Divas professional football team! With some tired legs from my workouts at Reebok the day before, I made sure to take some time yesterday morning to eat a good breakfast, to drink lots of water, and to stretch, stretch, stretch! Putting on some…
