15 Ways to Get Your Kids to Eat Better

I'm lucky enough to have a little girl that for the most part will eat what I eat.  When she doesn't I just sneak veggies in her foods. lol But she LOVES fruits and Shakeology so I think I'm covered for now.  However others aren't so lucky and its hard to get  kids to sit down and enjoy a healthy meal.  I came across this awesome list with tips on how to get your kids to do just that....

Could $4.33 a Day Help Save Your Life?

So many people come to me for help, telling me the one thing they want most in this world is to be healthy but they cannot afford to join a challenge group. While for some this may be very true...for most I've come in contact with...simply from viewing posts alone...it is not.

Let's talk a bit about money, where we waste it and our priorities. 

Day One of PiYo!!

Ok...So the day has come for me to start the full PiYo program.  I have done random workouts here and there by myself and with the ladies from fit club.  But now I'm going to do the program start to finish!

Body Beast: Beast Phase

Completely forgot to post this!  I started doing meal planning towards the end of Body Beast lol I know a bit late.  While I don't do terrible with my eating, I decided I needed to do this to keep myself on track a little better.  So here it is...Beast Phase, based off of 1800 calories.  I'm going to start doing this for my other programs as well.  Stay tuned ;) 

PiYo With Me!!

Looking to GET LEAN? Have injuries that prevent you from doing high intensity workouts like P90X or Insanity? Maybe you just can't jump around in your apartment for fear of disturbing the neighbors.  PiYo is the answer!  With PiYo you can get lean and defined WITHOUT bulking up or straining your joints. 

Ultimate Reset: Alkalinize

Spotlight on an ingredient I add to my Shakeology. Beachbody Ultimate Reset: Alkalinize 

Alkalinize is a super-green mixture of grasses, including wheatgrass, alfalfa, kamut, and barley, that helps neutralize excess acid in the body caused by processed foods, foods that are high in protein, including milk, meat, and even whole grains. 

Most Asked Question

Most asked question for sure..."How do you stay motivated?"

For those that don't know, I lost my mom almost 5 years ago. No, it wasn't weight related. She passed from cirrhosis of the liver due to alcohol. I've said it before....I love my mom. She was gorgeous, talented (quite the artist), funny, and would be there for us no matter what. She raised two beautiful (if i do say so myself lol) strong women. She did the best that she could but the fact of the matter is she did not take of herself. She passed at 48 years old. She never saw me marry. She never saw her two granddaughters be born. If I'm being very honest I would say I still at times hold some kinda of angry towards the situation. "Why couldn't she just stop?" But there were deeper things that went on with her than I could understand.
