    Yes, you read that title right. I work out everyday. Working out has become one of those non-negotiable things that I do every single day. Now don’t get me wrong there are days when I take “rest” days and don’t do a structured workout. But even on those days I am staying active playing with the kids, hiking, etc. Working out everyday may sound overwhelming, but it’s really not. I wake up every morning at 6:15 and get in a 30 minute workout. So here are the reasons I work out every single day. 1. Working out wakes me up…

    PiYo Week 5 – A Fresh Start

    November 2, 2014 - By 

    I’m not perfect. I will be the first to admit that. Last week was supposed to be my 5th week in PiYo. Let me tell you I really let things go last week. The past 2 weeks have been extremely stressful for me. And with that stress comes stress eating. And with stress eating comes lack of sleep. And with lack of sleep comes lack of exercise.

    Homemade Gummies

    October 25, 2014 - By 

    My husband, yes my husband has been begging me to make homemade gummy bears for years. Gummy bears are his absolute favorite candy. The thought of making my own candy has always intimidated me. I’ve always thought the ingredients would be too hard to find or it would take too much time or make a huge mess. Let me tell you these homemade gummy bears are one of the easiest and most inexpensive things I’ve made. They only take 3 ingredients and about 15-20 minutes of work. That’s it! Ingredients: Non-flavored gelatin 1 small box of jell-o 1/2 cup of…
