My kids think pancakes are a food group. I think they’d eat them at every meal if I was willing. When we went Paleo as a family they pined for their beloved pancakes. OK, maybe I did too… The thing with trying to make a Paleo pancake is that almond flour and coconut flour just don’t behave the same as wheat flour.

A group of my fitness blogger friends decided to do Day in the Life posts today. I get a lot of questions about my routine. My Paleo eats, how much I work out, what supplements I take, how I fit in my blogging/freelance/work...stuff like that. I thought joining and doing a day in my life post would be fun and a great way to answer all of those questions at once! This was yesterday (Tuesday

I've gotten super serious about my nutrition lately. I am laser focused on my body after baby goals. For me that means upping my protein a bit, dropping my carbs a bit, and shaving off a few calories.  Never one for depriving myself completely, I always try to concoct healthified versions of my favorite treats.

Disclaimer: I am NOT a Beachbody Coach and I purchased Piyo myself for this blog review series. Today's the day! Day 1 of blogging through the Piyo program by Chalene Johnson.  This morning I took my weight, measurements, and BF % (using my Omron HBF-306C). I'll take them again at the end of month one, and then at the end of the 8 weeks.  My Before Piyo Stats: Weight 189 Bust 43 Waist

Confession: I’m a total smoothie junkie. There are days that I could eat them breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I love to make my protein smoothies really thick, almost ice cream shake-like. That way they seem more like a decadent treat than a boring protein shake. The secret to the perfect thick, super yummy protein smoothie is frozen fruit and a great tasting protein powder. Lately
