I participated in countless challenges with Lorna Jane and Sweat Pink. I’m embarrassed to say I even had a shopping cart full and ready because I thought I rocked the #movenourishbelieve Pinterest Challenge – oops! This time around, during the #activelivingchallenge, I’ve had a hard time keeping up, but for good reason! I’ve been so […]
I guarantee you I was one of the first people registered for IDEA World BlogFest with SweatPink. I jumped on that opportunity so fast it left my whole family stunned! I’m a very frugal lady who either never spends money or doesn’t spend it without taking A LOT of time to think about it, but […]
I can’t even believe it’s back-to-school time already! Whew! Those summers go fast! I’m definitely not rushing through the time we have left, but I am ready to get a jump start on planning for school lunches for my step-daughter, afternoon snacks for my new pre-schooler (insert Momma “my baby!” squeal here!), and anytime snacks […]
Ok, friends… I have stalled big time! I’m slowly crawling out of it, but when I look back over the past 9 months, I’m so disappointed! I was in a great place last summer. I gave myself a break for the holidays that turned into nearly 6 months of struggling to get back on track. […]

Fueling for a workout and recovery following were always a mystery to me. Ok, they still are, but I’m learning. I was always nervous to eat a protein bar because I didn’t know if my body needed it, and was usually scared away by the calorie count. I’ve learned a lot on this last year, […]
This has been an amazing year! I can’t believe I’ve entered this world of fitness fanatics, health nuts, and just plain awesome people I have learned so much from! They say we teach what we most want to learn. I may not be teaching, but I definitely am sharing what I most want to learn. […]
I’ve recently become a little obsessed with CrossFit. I’ve become so interested in anyone who is into CrossFit and I love the idea of doing functional exercises and building strength. And, c’mon, they look like badasses doing it! It’s a little intimidating to go from occasional exercise with no one really pushing you but yourself […]
Holy Cow! Have 6 months really come and gone??! Now is a great time to check back with my 2014 goals. There haven’t been many goals checked off the list since the first quarter. In fact, there has been one… Fitness Goals After one year of running, I finally completed my first 5K distance without […]
