Guys….running is hard. Just sayin’. I love it though. I’ve missed it and I’m so happy to be back at it! I must say that Spring running is my fave. I love running in the Fall too, but there’s just something about Spring in general that renews my motivation and makes me want to work hard, clean everything in sight and get my crap together…in all aspects of my life. I love it. But even though I love running in the beautiful Spring weather, it is still so freaking hard. Running is not only a physical workout, but it’s also Continue Reading…
Healthy Meal Ideas + Fun, Crazy Life
Man, we’ve had a busy week!! I’m actually glad it’s coming to an end. 🙂 One fun thing we’ve been doing is painting our upstairs. It has been loooooong overdue!! We’ve lived in our house about 9 years now, but we’ve done very little updating or legit decorating. When we first moved in, I was 9 months pregnant and had a baby two weeks later. Aaaaaand we’ve been crazy ever since. We’ve seriously just been in survival mode. So, I’ve decided it is TIME to dejunk the entire house, clean everything, paint everything, new carpet everything and make things “cute.” Continue Reading…
One Week Down + I’m Loving My Healthy Meals
Well guys, I’ve been doing the Extreme Transformation program for a week now and I love it! It definitely takes some effort and planning, but it really hasn’t been too hard. It’s really just a simple, straight-forward, practical way to eat well. I love it. I’ve been counting macros on and off for a long time now, so that’s nothing new, but I’ve been loving the high and low carb days. I love the science behind it (in a nutshell, the high carb days rev the metabolism and the low carb days burn fat) and I love changing it up. Continue Reading…
I’m 100% All In, Running is Hard and Other Random Thoughts About Healthy Living
Well folks, sadly we’re nearing the end of summer. My kids start school in TWO weeks! I can’t decide if I’m ready for school to start or not. I’m hoping I’ll be able to get a lot more done (and be a more consistent blogger!), BUT for some reason I thought I’d get a lot more done once summer started and that has definitely NOT been the case. Ha ha!!! We’ll see. We had a little bit of drama ’round here a couple nights ago. While we were visiting my parent’s house, my poor baby tripped and fell down TWICE. Continue Reading…
Body Fat Analysis, Good Eats and another Before Picture!
Hey guys! I have a bunch of random stuff to share with y’all today! I told you guys in my last post about the F45 Challenge that I started, right? Well, I’m loving it and it’s keeping me motivated! I’m love love loving my workouts right now! I’ve been going to F45 for 2 1/2 weeks now and I’ve only missed one workout (except for Sundays…they’re closed and it’s always a rest day for me anyway!) I really, truly love these workouts and look forward to them! I’m also already noticing progress and changes, which is surprising to me! Here’s Continue Reading…
Super Foods, a Crazy Workout and a Busy Baby!
Hey everyone! I’m sorry my last post was a little serious and somber. My emotions were close to the surface and it’s just how I was feeling that day! Since that post, I’ve had a few phone calls and emails from people expressing concern and inquiring about how me and my family are doing. Thank you all for your kindness and concern. I know it’s annoying when people post things on social media about struggles and hard things, but then never elaborate. It leaves people to worry and speculate. I didn’t mean to do that! So sorry. I actually have quite a few friends Continue Reading…
