Meet Brea
Hi! I turned 30 this year. And I am STILL searching for fitness. This blog (and journey) started when I realized that this is the ONLY body I have, and I need to respect and love it unconditionally. I am still learning that lesson. I started my fitness journey by overhauling my eating habits (I am proud to be vegan, and newly RAW), and introducing running and barre workouts (my one true exercise obsession) into my life. I have since discovered that fitness is not just about exercise and eating right, but about having a well-balanced life. I am a first-time mommy to Smalls, a precocious and wonderful blessing in my life, and wife to my high school sweetheart, Ish. I am proud to be me: RAW vegan mommy and wife who also (in her spare time) loves to exercise.

Hi, breefawn,
I just read your blurb about you after finding your dynamic and so promisingly delicious vegan tuna salad recipe (thanks for sharing!)
I wanted to ask if we might feature you and your move towards veganism as one of our Meatout Mondays inspirations. If so, please just email back and let me know. Then, when we do feature you, we’ll also link to your site, if you like.
Thanks and all the best to you!

Keep up the good work.
Best.

Hi Brea,
I just LOVE your website. THANKS for all your support you have always given me and for your friendship.

Keep it up, YOU ARE GREAT!!

I’m so glad I came across your blog! Your story is so similar to mine. My highest weight was 185 and then my fiance and I came across the book Eat to Live last summer and started eating mainly plant-based foods for 1.5 months and started working out. We each dropped 30 pounds from our highest and just recently decided it was about time to drop the rest! This time we’re focusing more on a long-lasting healthy lifestyle and aren’t as concerned with how fast the weight comes off. We started Couch to 5K this week and are going vegetarian for a 10 week challenge. So far, we are loving it! And like you, if we don’t get ourselves up at 5AM to run, it’s very difficult for us to get up and do it. Can’t wait to keep reading more!
