    Tropical Berry Shake with Liberté® Méditerranée Yogurt

    April 16, 2015 - By 

    I’m going to be brutally honest with you all. I love my Shakeology, but I have had a really hard time choking down the tropical strawberry flavor I ordered last month. I’ve tried really hard to like it. It’s just too sweet for me. I’ve had one packet that has been lingering in my kitchen that both my husband and I have been avoiding. I’ve been trying to figure out a way to make it a little more tasty so I can use that last packet. One of my friends suggested I add yogurt to it to balance out the…

    A Year of Firsts in Motherhood

    April 15, 2015 - By 

    You all may think from the title that this post may be about my children’s milestones or silly stories about my kids. The post is actually a somewhat honest and selfish post about myself. You see, in the 9 1/2 years that I have been a mom I have very rarely indulged and had selfish moments. My life and decisions have pretty much revolved around my kids and husband. The time that I spend during the 2 days a week that my 4 year old is in parent’s day out is devoted to either working my tail off for my…

    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…
