Don’t Complain!
Don’t complain about your problems… focus your energy and efforts on creating a life worth living and being excited about! Complaining won’t get you anywhere. Make steps to reach your goal and work towards accomplishing your health goals every day. You don’t need to be “perfect” every day – you won’t ever be (nor should you even try!), but it’s important to create a healthy lifestyle. Start small and work your way up. Maybe you start out by ditching your daily cheeseburger for lunch and you make a healthy sandwich instead. Start small and once you make it a habit, you can make another small choice in the right direction! One step at a time adds up to some major life changes in your life. Make it a positive change!

Read MoreDeprived? Puh-lease!
I always think it’s funny when people think that I’m “deprived” when I tell them that I’ve completely ditched soda and sugary sweets. I just don’t understand how my taste buds could possibly be deprived when I’m eating such delicious food (see below)! Feel free to follow us, however you...
Read MoreCause of Most Chronic Diseases
“Today, more than 95% of all chronic disease is caused by food choice, toxic food ingredients, nutritional deficiencies and lack of physical exercise.” ~Mike Adams We only have one body, we might as well take good care of it. I suggest learning how to read food labels so you can avoid toxic ingredients, and learn how to cook food at home. In addition to providing your body with the nutrients it needs, start an exercise program and stick to it. Living a healthy lifestyle doesn’t mean eating well and exercising until you reach weight loss or a particular goal. Living a healthy lifestyle means you eat healthy and exercise regularly because this is just what you do. It’s a way of life. Living a healthy lifestyle will yield positive results. Eat real food. Exercise regularly. Problem Solved. Feel free...
Read MoreConfessions Of A {Pregnant} Certified Personal Trainer
I am 28 weeks (7 months) pregnant now, and I’m officially in the third trimester! Since beginning my journey to becoming a first time momma, I thought I would share some of my “confessions” with you… Confessions of a {Pregnant} Certified Personal Trainer 1. Before I became pregnant, I would always wonder why women didn’t exercise during their pregnancy. It’s an important time in life and exercise is still needed! Well, since becoming pregnant, I finally get it. During pregnancy, women are tired. Actually, exhausted is probably a better word to describe how tired women are during pregnancy. On top of that, many pregnant women experience nausea or other difficulties. For me, I would start my workout, feel nauseous, keep working out anyways, and then I would experience some painful cramping in my side. After speaking with my Midwife regarding my concerns...
Read MoreShredded Wheat by Barbara’s
What’s for breakfast? I don’t have cold cereal for breakfast too often, but when I do, I prefer to have a healthy – and tasty! – option. Why Barbara’s Shredded Wheat Cereal? I think we’ve all had shredded wheat cereal at one point or another. Most brands will tout their “Whole Grain” status, yet they fail to mention how many additional ingredients (like sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and preservatives like BHT) they have added to convince you to buy and eat their product. Barbara’s doesn’t need to add anything extra to their cereal to convince you to buy their product. The product sells itself from the quality ingredients used and the way they make their shredded wheat. They steam whole wheat berries, shredding them and lightly baking them for a naturally sweet and hearty high-fiber breakfast. No added...
