I’m still lovin’ Body For Life. To me, it’s just a very practical way of living. It’s a healthy, sensible diet and a manageable exercise plan. I love it. Yes, it takes commitment and planning, but I’m a lot more successful at healthy living when I have a set purpose or “plan.” I haven’t lost any weight at all though. None. Nada. I’ve decided my body is psycho. I’ve been doing my “No Sugar Challenge” for 29 days now and I love it. I’ve been following the Body For Life exercise plan for almost two weeks and the diet plan Continue Reading…
I Love Discipline and Healthy Food!
I’ve been lovin’ Body for Life so far. It’s really just a sensible, healthy diet with a little more protein kicked in. It’s great. It really hasn’t been too hard either (granted I’m only on day #2!) I told you guys about some of things I ate for breakfast and my morning snack yesterday. Well, I made a very yummy wrap for lunch yesterday too. It was awesome. I had some leftover BBQ chicken in the freezer, so I pulled that out and put it in my wrap (on a Flatout) along with some spinach, tomato, avocado, mustard and a Continue Reading…
Back to School + First Day of Body for Life
Oh my word guys, I had a very traumatic experience this morning. I took my two oldest kids to Middle School this morning, no problem. Later, I took my 4th grader over to the Elementary School. He really wanted me to walk with him to help him find his class, so I parked the van on the side of the road so I could walk with him. Anyway, my sweet dog Jimmer LOVES to ride with us to take the kids to and from school; it’s seriously the highlight of his day. So, I was just going to leave him Continue Reading…
We Had So Much Fun Running The Color RUN!
Guys! We had such a fun day today running The Color Run! It was a great race AND the perfect race to run with the kiddos and fun friends. We all loved it! I grabbed some pre-race fuel as we headed out the door this morning… Three Coconut Chia Seed Protein Balls and half of a banana. Perfect. Here we are in the van….so excited to get to the race! Oh, and here’s Kev….the driver. 😉 When we got to the race, there was a big, giant party goin’ on! It was such a fun environment. There was music blasting Continue Reading…
A Great Exercise Week + Fun Family Outings
We’ve been busy, busy, busy ’round here! But, I’m so happy it’s FRIDAY! Yay. First off, I’ve decided to do Body for Life! Eeee. I’m really excited and a tad bit really nervous! It’s such a great plan, but I know it will take a lot of commitment and planning. It will be so good for me though. I also thought it would be good for me to do it since I’m already doing my no sugar challenge thing. It’s so much easier to eat well with sugar out of the picture. The deadline to “officially” join the challenge is Continue Reading…
Healthy Food + I’m Thinkin’ of Starting Body for Life
Yesterday morning, I enjoyed my breakfast on the deck and it was fabulous… Good oatmeal, great reading material and a tall drink of water enjoyed outside in the fresh summer air. Doesn’t get much better than that my friends. Yum. I also went to the gym for a bit afterward and got a killer upper body workout in. I’ll talk a little bit more about that in a sec. I enjoyed chillin’ outside, reading and eating so much yesterday that I did it again this morning… This was more like a brunch though; probably around 11:00. I had a quick Continue Reading…
