    Back to School Challenge

    August 20, 2015 - By 

    I’m going to take a moment to be really honest with you all. I have been a huge slacker over the summer when it comes to my health and fitness. I’ve been working out on a regular basis, but I definitely haven’t been giving my all. And my nutrition has been horrible. I’ve been the queen of fast, easy meals that haven’t always been healthy. And my sweet tooth has been out of control. The good news is that I have plans to get myself back on track. But here is the deal. I need your help! As a health…

    Half Marathon Training Week 1

    January 16, 2015 - By 

    The time has come for me to start my training for my very first half marathon. I will be running in the Covenant Health Knoxville Half Marathon March 29th. I’m terrified and pumped up all at the same time. I’ve never considered myself to be a runner. I don’t even really enjoy running if we are being honest about it. I started running 3 years ago because I was sick a feeling sluggish and tired all of the time. I wasn’t happy with my body and I wanted to do something about it. The first time I had run in…

    Short on Time Challenge

    August 26, 2014 - By 

    What is your biggest excuse for not working out? I don’t know about you, but my excuse USED to be that I didn’t have enough time. I had a gym membership. But between having two very busy kids, running 3 businesses and trying to maintain a sane family life a home I just couldn’t find the time I go to the gym. Not to mention the few days that I did actually get to go I would go in there and kind of blindly try to figure out what to do. I had no focus whatsoever. That all changed back…

    T25 Final Results: Nailed it!

    July 16, 2014 - By 

    I’m officially done with T25 (at least round 1 of T25)!! This program has been a game changer for me in so many ways. When I started T25 I thought I was in decent shape. I would run a couple of days a week and occasionally go to the gym. I started my first day of T25 with cardio and busted through it. I really thought I nailed it (and I did). But the next few days nailed me. I struggled through the rest of that weeks workouts with extremely sore legs. Rest day and the stretch workout saved my aching…
