● About Me
Hi, I’m Rachael — a grandma who likes to lift heavy things, question her life choices mid‑workout, and pretend she’s got her act together even when she’s standing in the pantry debating whether Jellybeans count as a meal.
I’m in my 50s, which means I’ve officially reached the stage of life where:
- I care more about muscle than makeup. Well, maybe a little won’t hurt
- I can injure myself sleeping wrong
- I celebrate being able to reach the top shelf
- And I’ve earned the right to say whatever I want with confidence, sass and a bit of compassion
I’ve done CrossFit, taught yoga, love strength training, and the maybe even the occasional “accidental sprint” when I think I left the stove on. I’m passionate about staying strong, staying mobile, and staying honest about the fact that midlife fitness is equal parts empowerment and chaos.
I love:
- Lifting weights
- Eating real food
- Laughing at my own ridiculousness
- And proving that grandmas can be strong, spicy, and absolutely unstoppable
This blog is where I share the real stuff — the wins, the fails, the cravings, the gym moments, the midlife revelations, and the everyday adventures of trying to stay healthy without losing my mind.
If you’re here for perfection, you’re in the wrong place.
If you’re here for honesty, humor, and a grandma who can deadlift more than her grocery bags, welcome home.
