Sharing my life from son up 'til son down
Well I finally hit a big running milestone this past weekend...I ran 10 miles! Double digits! It felt great, and I'm feeling more and more confident about the decision to run my first half marathon in 2 months. I'd like to keep working on my endurance and speed, upping my mileage a bit more, and trying my best to stay injury free. In an effort to do so, I'm convinced that the right running ... [ Read More ]
I hope you all had a great weekend! Ours was pretty uneventful and relaxing but I will still post a recap because I like looking back on our weekends together...even our quiet ones. I have several people I know on the Advocare 24 Day Challenge right now, or some that are about to start so I thought I would put up our clean eating menu for the week if you were looking for some ideas. Even if ... [ Read More ]
I thought I would change things up this Workout Wednesday and have a guest blogger come on over to share their experience with the Advocare 24 Day Challenge. My good friend Ryann from Recipes By Ryann just posted THIS wonderful post about some huge changes she has made to lose almost 25 lbs over the past 5 months. I really enjoyed doing a similar guest post on my friend Jenny's blog after I ... [ Read More ]
I always love seeing everyone's healthy meal plans for the week, and realized I haven't posted mine for awhile. I currently have several friends on the Advocare 24 Day Challenge and some starting up soon, so I know these were always helpful for me when I felt like all I was eating was chicken and veggies all week. There are so many awesome clean recipes out there that you should never feel bored ... [ Read More ]
Good morning!! Looking for a quick, delicious, HEALTHY, and clean treat for breakfast {or any time of day at that}? Look no further....I'm kind of in love with chia seed pudding! I have seen a few ways to make this online, but I just stuck with what I had at home. Here is the recipe I used for my tasty breakfast this morning! Chia Seed Pudding Recipe Ingredients: 1 part chia seeds {for my ... [ Read More ]
You guys...I had PIZZA on Saturday after the race. Like real, cheesy, sausage and pepperoni pizza. I'm not going to lie, while I have grown accustomed to clean eating and love the foods we eat, that pizza tasted like a little slice of heaven. I was totally famished after the mud run that I probably could have eaten an entire large pie by myself, but I refrained. It really is all about ... [ Read More ]
Do you want to see what I did on Saturday? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFB-6nFcQHg The day was here, the day I had been training for for the last 6 months. The commitment that ultimately lead to my weight loss journey and my new found love for running. June 8th, 2013....the Camp Pendleton World Famous 10k Mud Run...it's been staring me down on my calendar since January 1st. 6 miles, ... [ Read More ]
It's been awhile since I have done a Workout Wednesday post. I am happy to report that although I've been slacking on posting about my workouts, I've been doing great at actually getting them done. As of late I've been getting in 1-2 good runs during the week, 2 Turbo Kick boxing classes, and 1-2 days at the gym doing cardio and weight training. I had to cut back on running because my left ...

While on the Advocare 24 Day Challenge I find breakfast to be my favorite meal of the day. I love making different kinds of omelets, having all kinds of fruits. drinking a smoothie...there seem to be a lot of choices when it comes to clean eating breakfast options. I also follow the philosophy that it's best to have your carbohydrates in the morning and decrease them as the day goes on. I like ... [ Read More ]
It's been awhile since I have written about my progress using Advocare products. Since I first started the 24 Day Challenge back in January, I have had a lot of people give it a try along side me. It's been awesome seeing everyone's progress, sharing recipes and workouts, and just motivating each other along the way. I often get asked "so, what do you do after the 24 days is over?" and I ...
