ABOUT

Hi there! 

I'm Kandi,

the wife, the mom, the personal trainer,

the kindergarten teacher, the baker, the bento maker.

My husband Andy & I have been together for 15 years, and what an adventure it has been so far! I don't think we have ever been bored, that's for sure.

We have lived from the East coast to the West coast (best coast), but we currently reside in a small town outside of Fort Smith, Arkansas, and this is where we plan to be until our girls are both off to college.

I have the world's sweetest dog, Drake. He's named after my all time favorite rapper, Drake. :)

I love to pack fun, healthy (mostly) lunches for my kids. I started making bento style lunches for Olivia when she was in 1st grade. By the time she decided she was "too old" for these, Sophia was ready to go to school and luckily, she still loves them!

I love baking so much! It is a major creative outlet for me. Life gets busy (often), and my baking goes in spurts. It will be months of no baking and then I'm in the kitchen with my apron and powdered sugar for weeks straight!

In October 2018, I finally followed through on a dream I've had since I started this blog in 2011: I got my NASM CPT. I took my life back in to my own hands and from December 2018 to now I've dropped 40+ pounds and gotten so much stronger.

I am finally in a place of self love and confidence again. I am also currently training clients, and I have had success in both helping people change their lives to lose weight (50+ pounds is my current largest client weight loss, female client) and also gain weight (a 25 pound increase in lean muscle, male client).
