Disclaimer: I am NOT a Beachbody Coach and I purchased Piyo myself for this blog review series. Back when Piyo launched (June, I think?) my social media streams were abuzz about it. I'm friends with a lot of Beachbody coaches, but it wasn't just coaches. So many of my non-coach friends were also excited that Chalene Johnson was launching a new workout. I was excited as well. I love

Yesterday I shared my system for setting and achieving health, fitness, and weight loss related goals. I really, really, really believe in goal setting. You wouldn't believe the changes I've seen in my life since I started setting (and working daily on) goals.  Today I thought I'd share my fit GOALS for 2015. 145 pounds.

Something that resonates, defines, and

This Paleo Apple Crisp Recipe post is sponsored by Puritan's Pride. I love desserts with fruit in them. I may even prefer them to desserts with chocolate in them. Maybe… Apple crisp is a family favorite around here. It’s been greatly missed since we went Paleo. I decided I’d better set to work converting my recipe. We had a lot of fun taste-testing the ‘failures’ along the way! The

It's that time of year again! I just love the holidays. The music, the decorations, the extra time spent with family and friends... What I don't love about the holidays is trying to figure out what to get people! Some people are easy, but for those on my list that are tough to buy for I love gift guides. I've found the best presents on gift guides. I thought this year I'd expand my best
