Well hello my friends! I hope you’re all enjoying your Friday. I’ve been doing a challenge with some of my friends the past couple of weeks. It’s been a lot of fun and has helped me to get back on track after being a slacker for a month or so. Health and fitness and living a healthy lifestyle is really all about digging deep, finding that motivation and committing and re-committing every day! It’s not about perfection, it’s about consistency. That’s why I love to do challenges! Even though I love and value healthy living, I enjoy crappy living sometimes Continue Reading…
A Health Challenge, Fresh Garden Produce and a Post-Workout Drink!
It is the last day of August! Wow. I’m a little sad to see summer ending, but I’m really ready for it to not be so HOT. I hope you’ve all had a fantastic summer! In my last post I told y’all how I was feeling a little bit poofy since my sister had been in town for a few weeks and we pretty much ate food and treats the entire time! Gah!

K so, my little sister came into town about 3 weeks ago (she just went home 2 days ago) and we have pretty much been going (and eating, lol!) non-stop ever since. When she first got here, we headed up to my aunt and uncle’s cabin in Vivian Park up Provo Canyon. It was so fun to see them and to be up there! I have a lot of wonderful childhood Continue Reading…
Waxing Nostalgic + Caring for Our Overall Health
Hey, hey, hey! Happy Friday and happy August! I’m starting to feel that “winding down of summer” feeling and I’m not quite sure how I feel about it. We’ve had a wonderful summer and I’m not ready to give it up yet! My teenagers have been busy this summer working and running around with friends, which is just a sad reality of life, so I’ve enjoyed soaking up my three little kiddos and doing fun things with them! It’s been especially nice to not have a baby or toddler in the mix. I absolutely adore babies, but they do complicate Continue Reading…
Oxygen Challenge #OC5 Update + Interesting Progress Pictures
Well hey friends! I’ve been thinkin’ a lot lately about this Oxygen Magazine Challenge that I’ve been doing the past few months. I realized I hadn’t talked or updated y’all on that for quite a while! First off folks, I love this challenge. This is the fourth Oxygen Challenge I’ve done and this one has been one of my favorites! I have really loved having Amber Dodzweit-Riposta as our coach. She is amazing, so down to earth and I have LOVED her entire approach to health and fitness. She’s done several Facebook Live sessions with us throughout this challenge, which Continue Reading…
