I\u2019m Erin (left). Thanks for stopping by. \u2765<br><br>A little bit about me:<br>\u22c6 Coffee &amp; chocolate addict<br>\u22c6 80% homebody, 20% world traveler<br>\u22c6 Lover of fall, food, fitness, Christmas, and the Cubs<br>\u22c6 You\u2019ll normally find me reading a book, running outdoors, lifting, or watching trash reality tv<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I moved from Illinois to Tampa FL, and have been blogging ever since. My Bachelor&#8217;s is in Dietetics, and I&#8217;m obsessed with learning more about nutrition &amp; food&#8217;s impact on the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I take a non-diet approach to food &amp; health, so I talk a lot about food freedom, listening to your body, and loving yourself by treating your mind\/body\/soul right. I&#8217;m passionate about combining physical health with mental &amp; emotional health (because you can&#8217;t have one without the other).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/vitality-vixens.com\/index.php\/author\/erinnotz\/\">Read Erin&#8217;s blog posts here!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Mary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hey there! My name is Mary (right) and I am the co-author for Vitality Vixens. I live in Nashville TN and am a Respiratory Therapist (currently doing travel RT in Orlando). My schedule&#8217;s wacky because I work the night shift, but surprisingly enough, I love it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m also a fitness lover. I&#8217;ve been consistently working out for years now. I dabble with the thought of doing bodybuilding, but honestly, not sure if I\u2019m ballsy enough for such a commitment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, to no surprise after reading that last statement, you&#8217;ll be seeing a lot of my fitness journey, such as what has gone well, my failures (which is my favorite category because a lot of shit happens to me that is unreal), and helpful tips and tricks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ll leave the recipes up to Erin because my food is makeshift. I\u2019m just learning how to spice up my life with different food combos\/meals. I also love being outside and playing any sports (especially pickleball and soccer). Yeah, I know&#8230; What\u2019s pickleball&#8230;? I\u2019ll def have to explain that another day for ya. However, you will earn brownie points with me if you already know what it is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, I hope y\u2019all enjoy our blog! We have a lot of good quality info we can\u2019t wait to share.
