About Me

Hi! I’m Brynn. I call DC home, but travel often for work so I’ve taken my passion for wellness on the road. I’m always searching for ways to stay healthy while embedded in this crazy, fast-paced, often challenging lifestyle.

i have a really hard time with “balance” as much as i preach it. i truly believe in it - life is worth living, amirite?! 🙌🏻😋 . . balance comes in all shapes and sizes, in all forms. i think it’s important to treat your body well and live a healthy lifestyle, but i also believe in yummy treats (🥂🍷🍫🥐). . . i’ve had my fill of treats in toronto, but i’ve also made sure to get in a @soulcycle and @lagreefitnessstudio class, and to find my protein and veggies where i can (so my nutritionist doesn’t completely freak out 😂😋). . . ...and now i’m consuming turkish ☕️with almond🥛, simit with 🥑🌶 and smoked salmon after an intense workout in an adorable coffee shop with @dolewhipismykryptonite ... and i’m pleased with this choice. . . i know that i have to find happiness in these things - how lucky i am to see the world, how great it is to experience good food, culture, and drinks - and not worry about the “future effect” of these #calories and #macros (easier said than done). . . it is possible to enjoy myself and eat yummy things while achieving my goals if i focus the other 80-90%. and that’s what i’m working on every. damn. day . . . save the treats for the good stuff. give your body what it really wants . . . #navigatingwellness #balance #goodeats #treatyoself #traveleats #progress #bekindtoyourself #patienceisavirtue #healthyonthego #healthyontheroad #healthylifestyle #wellnesswarrior

i hate running. so why is my ass always signed up for another race? what’s the point? why do i spend the money? why do i torture myself? 🏃🏻‍♀️ . . find out in tonight’s post (link in bio 👆🏻) . . . do you think i’m crazy? do you dislike running but also sign up? is there an activity you continue to do but don’t necessarily like?? . . #rundisney #disneyprincesshalfmarathon #disneysuperheroeshalfmarathon #spartanrace #spartansprint #willrunforwine #navigatingwellness #ihaterunning #running #fitness #motivation #justdoit

because of my hectic schedule, i am queen of the #freezermeal, and today’s lunch was just that. . . after a 6am class at @studiocenterpointe 💪🏻👯‍♀️ followed by breakfast 🍳🥗☕️, errands, and work, i wasn’t hungry until 1:30pm-ish. and then i looked in my fridge and saw 0 things to eat 😂🤭. . . ❄️freezer❄️ to the rescue. i grabbed a @dailyharvest cauliflower rice + pesto harvest bowl and sautéed it with extra bird’s eye stir fry veggies 🥦🥕🌶 while simultaneously sautéing a @traderjoes mahi mahi burger 🐟🍔 in a little low sodium soy sauce for extra protein (and i was v hungry). . . it turned out really well, and it was super easy! it’s totally possible to make yummy concoctions with items in your freezer. . . what quick, yummy #freezermeals are your “go to” when you’re busy? . . #navigatingwellness #busywoman #quickhealthymeals #traderjoes #freezermealsfordays #quickmeals #dailyharvest #proteinandveggies #easymeals #mealsforone #yum #cauliflowerrice #quickandeasy

ate an amazing but ridiculously heavy and caloric dinner last night at @masa14dc and i definitely was not interested in working out today. . . woke up slowly this AM with coffee, @hulu , and the boyfriend making me ☕️ and breakfast (😍) and had to talk myself into working out. . . large AF dinner aside, i’m running the #cherryblossom10miler in a few weeks, and my ass needed to run. . . . we stopped to take in views, mentally recuperate, and look up directions, but we got in 8 miles. and i ran to places i’ve never gone before in my six years in dc. . . i’m so glad i went out and did it, and i’m sure glad dev was there to run alongside (and sometimes in front of) me ❤️. . . #navigatingwellness #sundayrunday #daterun #eightmiles #racetraining

working remotely means waking up slowly (well, sorta since i had an 8am call 😂), sipping coffee, and making a late breakfast. . . waited until i was actually hungry this morning to cook (what a concept, amirite??). . . today’s breakfast includes coffee no.2 with coconut creamer and cinnamon ☕️, 2 @nelliesfreerange eggs 🍳 and 2 egg whites, large handfuls of raw spinach 🥗, and 1/2 avocado 🥑 while enjoying @john_wineland on @almost30podcast 🙌🏼❤️ (and working, i promise!) . . #navigatingwellness #healthyeats #healthybreakfast #workfromhome #remotework #friyay #fridayvibes #almost30podcast #almost30nation #avocadoeverything #itsnotbreakfastwithouteggs #savagebeforecoffee #coffeeaddict
