Tips on keeping your body and wallet in shape
Today was a weird day for me running wise. I wasn’t able to run yesterday because it was raining cats and dogs at 6am, so I ran with my buddy on our off day to make up for it. I thought I had everything together last night but I guess I missed a few things [...]
So here’s my Monday morning head scratcher. There are some days when I’m not sure if I’m more woman or more puffer fish. What do I mean by that? Have you ever woken up and looked in the mirror and quickly turned the lights off? That’s me most mornings b/c I look so puffy. I’m [...]
If you follow my facebook page you know my Grandmother passed on Sunday. My Grandparents raised me since I was 2 and I am forever grateful. My Grandmother was the type of woman who made everyone feel like they were home around her and she always had the best advice to give. Some of my [...]
I’m so excited to be a Beachbody coach. I have really been thrilled with my work out programs that I’ve been doing this year and I know it’s because of the support and friendships I’ve developed through their website. If you read my workout posts at all you hear me talk about Chalene Extreme all [...]
This has been a really unusual week for me because I’ve been traveling to help out my family. Last week I posted that I had finally lost some weight so I was stressed out at the idea of travelling. When I’m in my own house doing my own normal schedule I can control what I eat and [...]
As you know I’ve been trying to work my butt off – literally. I have trying to get down to 130 forever it seems. I have been running but unlike in the past when the weight came right off with running it was grudgingly staying with me. I purchased Chalene Extreme because I was watching [...]
Here is a super healthy and yummy smoothie. Doesn’t drinking something green make you just feel healthier? I am using Greenberry from Shakeology as my whey protein but I found a great deal on vanilla whey if you can’t afford/get shakeology. First thing you need to do is measure out your ingredients. You can have 80z or [...]

Here’s a yummy lunch I just tried. I’m all about cucumbers and tomatoes lately and had left over chicken so the chicken hummus wrap was born. Ingredients: 1 flour tortilla (small) 3 oz of chicken or turkey 3tbsp of hummus (I used original) sliced cucumbers sliced tomato Spread the hummus on the tortilla. Top with sliced cucumbers, [...]
If you read my workout posts regularly you know I love my Chalene Extreme program. She’s all about lifting heavy weights for short reps to lose weight. I really have been enjoying it. I usually run first and then do her video workout. Well, my good buddy Melissa is a Beachbody coach and she suggested [...]

This weekend was very busy fitness wise. I started it off by run/walking Saturday morning with my neighbor. We did our run/walk for 45 minutes. Since our plan said to do cross training but we still wanted to run I made a run plan up for us that I thought would be an easy run. [...]
So yesterday I did my Chalene Extreme Ab Burner and Burn Interval. The DVD’s took about an hour to do altogether. I get up before the rooster so it fits into my schedule. I have to say even though the Ab Burner portion was only 10 minutes I am really sore this morning. But it’s [...]
I love the new techy workout clothing. The wicking is great but I swear it not only wicks moisture but smell. There are days I take it out of the dryer and it still smells. My old non-tech clothing never did this so it’s got to be something to do with the new technology. After [...]
This morning was cold. My neighbor and I had to really bundle up. You would have thought it was January the way we had to dress. Once we got running it wasn’t so bad. I actually shed my gloves after awhile. I wasn’t sure my running buddy would show up. She mentioned she doesn’t like [...]
I’m very excited because I just signed up for the Marine Corps Mud Run. I did the race last year and had a blast. The picture is from last years race. This year there is going to be a slight twist on it for me. I’m doing the race as part of a team with [...]
Say what? Have I lost my mind? No, there are days when I actually like running up hills. Hills are challenging and you have to dig deep to get up them. I like feeling the power in my thighs when I feel myself powering up a hill. When my muscles are working together to keep [...]
As some of you know who read my blog regularly I recently organized my pantry to be more figure friendly and keep me on the right track for losing weight. I have been wanting to do the same thing for my fridge ever since and was finally able to Sunday. It was a mess and [...]
Saturday my neighbor and I had a run planned for in the morning. I looked out the door and it was sprinkling. It wasn’t a heavy downpour but it was consistent. I sighed. I’ve never run in the rain so I wasn’t sure what to do. I looked at my phone and there was a [...]
This morning I was excited b/c my running partner said we could push going out until 6:30 since her boys were out of school today. Sweet! However right before I walked out the door I checked my phone and she had bailed saying she was sick. I was disappointed but looked over at Chubbs and [...]
