Sharing my life from son up 'til son down
So it's been 7 months since I did my last Advocare 24 Day Challenge, and I'm getting ready to do another on September 5th. This time I am teaming up with fellow bloggers Samantha from YOUNG FAMILY OLD HOUSE and Jenny from JENNYCOLLIER.COM to host a group challenge. Both of these ladies had amazing results on their first challenges and are ready to give it another go! We are inviting YOU to join ... [ 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 ]
So it's pretty safe to say we have this clean eating thing down, and all this running is leading to some pretty great endurance and calorie burning...but something's been missing from the equation for awhile now and that's MUSCLE. I've tried the machines at the gym but wish I had some guidance, I've looked into a personal trainer but I wish I had the money, and I've tried some at-home strength ... [ Read More ]
I'm not sure what it is about people who enjoy running...but it's this not-so-secret little cult that I'm starting to understand more about. They love to run, they love to talk about it, they love to read about it, and they love others who feel the same way. They wave to each other and smile on their 6:00am weekend runs. They talk about their shoes, their races, their pace, their training ... [ 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 ...

So if you read my last Workout Wednesday post I dropped some very obvious hints to Greg that all I wanted for Mother's Day were some new running tanks, and to relax. Pretty contradictory wouldn't you say? He must actually read my blog, because he came through and hooked this mama up! Aside from feeling pampered and getting a couple of cute new tank tops, he surprised me with a year long ... [ Read More ]
Well it's the time of the week again, to hold myself accountable for my workouts, or my lack there of. Last week was good, I got in two Turbo kickboxing classes and a couple of long runs. Then this past weekend happened...Greg got super sick with some random flu-like stomach virus and it knocked him out cold. Friday and Saturday were a total wash with him being stuck in bed all day, so I wasn't ... [ 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 ...

Although I haven't been keeping up with my Monday Meal Plans via the blog, they are always ongoing in our home. I feel like our household has been upside down the last few weeks, but the one thing that remains constant and simple to maintain is what we are eating. I look forward to making dinner because there is some organization to it which seems to be lacking from the rest of my day. Here ... [ Read More ]
