80 Day Obsession Phase 2 Week 1 Sample Meal Plan

Holy hell, folks. We made it through Phase 1!  Phase 2 is going to introduce some new challenges, including a new meal plan. We have less of a calorie deficit, so many of us moved up a bracket. My carb-loving ass has been doing a happy dance since finding out I was moving from plan b to c which gives […]

Let’s Talk About These Jeans

Let’s talk about these jeans. They’ve been in storage for close to three years. I packed them up with all my fun, skinny clothes when I got pregnant with my now two year-old. Seventy pounds and two babies later and I thought I’d never squeeze my ass into them. I tried last month. Between running and working out sporadically, I’d […]

80 Day Obsession Week 3 Sample Meal Plan

Week 2 was a bit of a struggle mentally and physically. I didn’t prep in advance like I did the first week, and I paid for it. Meals were more stressful and spread out longer which made them not as satisfying. I created my meal plan for week 3 to get me back on track, time-wise. Nutritionally, I’ve stuck to […]

80 Day Obsession Week 1 Recap

Today was Day 6 of 80 Day Obsession, and I am ready to foam roll and reflect on how everything has changed in such a short amount of time.  I’ve made it six days without using an excuse to not workout. I came up with plenty. I pressed pause several times. But I never stopped, and I never gave up. […]

80 Day Obsession Recipes

Are you ready to get obsessed?? The official start of 80 Day Obsession was twenty minutes ago, and I already miss Hot Tamales.  Since the meal plan for this program is so particular, coaches and customers alike have been scrambling to follow it. We tend to over-think things, and when you add in the excitement of starting a new workout program and […]

Why Beachbody?

Why Beachbody? I’ve been asked that question several times since beginning this portion of my journey. Why Beachbody? There are so many programs out there for at-home workouts, so many different supplements and meal plans to choose from. What about this company and its products made me say yes, not only to using them, but to representing them, as well? […]

I hate cheat meals

I hate cheat meals. It’s not the meals themselves I take issue with. To the left is a picture of my husband and one of our kids at Pizza Hut where we stuffed our faces at the lunch buffet. It’s the phrase “cheat meals.” After all, what is a cheat if not something or someone dishonest and untrustworthy? When did […]

Delusions of a Stay-at-Home Mom

When I lost my job last year, we made the decision I’d become a stay-at-home mom rather than look for another job. I’d finally have time to run daily. I could workout whenever I wanted. My house would always be clean. It was going to be awesome! If you’ve ever stayed home with kids, you know how foolish I was. There’s […]

Just Eat Real Food

If you’ve looked into getting healthy, I’m sure you’ve had one (or fifty) people tell you to just eat real food. Need extra energy? Just eat real food. Having a difficult time saying no to junk food? Just eat real food. Lost a limb in a battle with a giant squid? Just eat real food! Every time I hear it, […]

Black Friday Challenge Pack/Shakeology HD Special!!

Since I’m still launching my health and fitness business, I thought it would be a good idea to have a Beachbody Black Friday sale. Beachbody as a company doesn’t have a sanctioned sale, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a good coach-sponsored deal. Beginning at 8:00 AM EST, the first three people to order a challenge pack and the […]
