    Half Marathon – Another Goal Reached

    March 30, 2015 - By 

    Race day has officially come and gone. I can officially check running a half marathon off of my list of goals I want to reach. I finished my first half marathon and I’m actually pleasantly pleased with my time. I’ve been a casual runner for 3 years now. I went from absolutely hating running. I was that person that you tell you that if I was running you better start running too because that meant something was chasing me. Boy how that changed with one race. All it took was running my first 5K and getting that runners high and…

    My Secret to Fitness Success

    March 20, 2015 - By 

    I’m going to let you all in on a little secret. You have to promise not to tell anyone. Ok, here goes. I’m NOT perfect!! Boy, it feels good to say that out loud. I may put on this appearance that I work out 7 days a week multiple times a day and eat nothing but clean healthy foods. But that is far from the truth. I do workout a lot. On average I probably workout 5-6 days a week either following one of my Beachbody programs or following my half marathon training schedule. There are mornings when I wake…

    Half Marathon Training Week 8

    March 9, 2015 - By 

    I haven’t written a blog post about my half marathon training lately. Quite frankly it’s because I’ve been WAY off on my schedule. We had to straight weeks of snow and ice and below freezing temperatures. I can deal with running in cold temperatures and I can deal with running in the snow. But running on ice is NOT my idea of a good time. While it was icy out I took some time off from my running and focused on strength training inside.  I didn’t want to risk getting an injury by trying to run on ice. For my strength…

    Why I Am A Beachbody Coach

    February 28, 2015 - By 

    I’m sure a lot of you have seen my posts about health and fitness and I’m sure most of you have realized that I am a Beachbody coach. What you may not know is why I am a Beachbody coach and why I decided to become a Beachbody coach in the first place. I’ll start with why I originally decided to become a Beachbody coach. When I originally signed up as a Beachbody coach I signed up purely for the monthly coach discount on Shakeology and with the thought that maybe, just maybe someone might want to order Beachbody products…

    21 Day Fix Extreme Challenge

    February 16, 2015 - By 

    I’m getting ready to dig into a new program that is going to challenge me in ways that I truly need it. I’ve had the working out routine down to a science for quite some time now, but I still struggle with my eating. I’m a sugar addict and I love me some beer. Starting February 23rd I’m about to kick my eating habits into shape to match my workout habits and I can’t wait to see my results both physically and mentally! 21 Day Fix Extreme is a brand new program that just came out 2 weeks ago. It…
