Whole30 Challenge
Good Morning, Sunshines! How was your weekend? I’m coming off a food coma. I knew that Monday was comin and along with it a new month and the start of a new Dietbet, so I may have over indulged. We didn’t get Payton any Candy for Easter, but we did end up having pancakes for breakfast and Ice Cream after dinner. That’s all in past now though – I’m starting my Whole30 Today! I’ve been looking into this for awhile now. I was sent the book It Starts with Food to review. It was a lot of information and so I broke it up (in between classes and traveling it took…

Happy New Year- 2012 in Review
Happy New Year!! I can’t believe it is 2013. Sometimes I still think the 90’s were 10 years ago. Weird, I know. How did you ring in the New Year? We hung around the house with friends, played monopoly, and watched the ball drop (at 11…) and then at 12 we went out the garage and did a little workout. I practiced my double unders, and got 2! BAM! This is going to be the year of conquering the double under! I will RX a workout with Double Unders! The hubs threw the weights around for a bit but I wasn’t feeling it… it was after 12am after all… Looking…

Celebrate the Progress {Under Armour Giveaway!}
I’m so excited today!!! We are a day into the Holiday Weight Loss Challenge and I’m feeling pretty good about it (PS- It’s not to late to sign up!! The pot is already over $6700!!). So many people are saying they are already making healthier choices because of it! SO PROUD of all of you! I mentioned yesterday that I was a little bummed with my weigh in, so I went in search of some inspiration. For me, nothing is more motivating than seeing the progress I’ve already made. If you have seen my Health Journey Page – you know that this has been a life long struggle for me. I’ve…

Weigh In Wednesday: #HolidayWLC {link up}
IT’S HERE! Today is the Start of the Holiday Weight Loss Challenge Dietbet!! Introducing… Weigh In Wednesday! I weighed in on Monday, and it was a sobering experience. Granted, I “let myself go” a bit this weekend since I knew this challenge was coming up. So- Here is my official weigh in picture Yikes. I’ve been hovering around 192 since September. A few pounds up and down, but usually right at 192. But 196?! That is WAY too close to being back in the 200’s. I kinda wanted to be down about it. But I also realized it is my 6 Month CrossFit Anniversary. So I did a little collage…

October Goals
Oh- Hello first week of October… Where’d you go?! Seriously though, how is it October 8th already? Time to talk about our Monthly Goals! I’m linking up over at Little Girl In The Big World for her Go For the Goal Link Up! Last month I set some goals that I wanted to achieve by the end of September. I figured I’d update y’all on the progress of those before we get into October Goals. Weight Loss- Get to 185lbs. That did not happen. I am still hovering around 192. I could give a million excuses here – but I’ll refrain. Running- Log 40 Miles. Uhm – wow, I really missed the…

Healthy Living Freed Me From…
Today I’m linking up over at HealthyLivingBlogs.com for their Healthy Living Tuesday Posts. The topic is “Healthy Living Freed me From…” Healthy living has become so much more than just a way to categorize my blog… it has become my life. When I first started my weight loss journey it was more about getting skinny rather than about finding healthy. I tried so many different “fad diets” including HCG and the diabetic diet. I lost some weight here and there, but nothing too notable. After discovering I had Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and then having my daughter in 2010 I realized that I needed to be more concerned about my overall health instead…

Losing Weight with Hashimoto’s {Part 2}
A little while back I shared about my story with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis as well as Part 1 of this reoccuring series on Losing Weight with Hashimoto’s. My struggle to lose weight, infertility, out of whack emotions, and cold intolerance helped my dr at the time diagnose my issue and got me on the right track with my medicine. That wasn’t the cure all that I had hoped it would be. I realized that if I really wanted to lose fat and gain muscle I had to accept the fact that this was an issue and I needed to work hard to fix it. I started running and trying different “diets” and lost…

Losing Weight with Hashimoto’s {Part 1}
I’ve been Struggling with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis since my diagnosis in May of 2009. I wanted to share my tips for Losing weight with Hashimoto’s but I knew it would be a lot of information to share so I am going to break it up into a few posts. Here is Part 1! I have always been chubby, as long as I can remember. I started disliking clothes shopping at the time most girls started liking shopping. I never understood why I was different. My siblings weren’t really overweight. I was just always chunky. I wasn’t the most physically active kid. I considered myself more of an intellectual. At least…

Sweat Pink
I am so excited to announce that I have been accepted as a Sweat Pink Amassador! I had been seeing different posts around the blogs I read, plus I was noticing the #sweatpink hashtag on twitter and instagram. Obviously anything that includes pink piques my interest.

Their website explains the mindset of a sweat pink ambassador like this: “Do you have a passion for inspiring…
