I think a good number of people start every year ‘fresh’ and to lose weight. That dreaded ‘New Year’ resolution gets us ever time. Admit it, you do it… I know I do. Well, I do this circle often to lose weight, get fit, get healthy and stay healthy. Back in 2006, I joined a [...]
I am about to share some information on an upcoming product that has definitely woo’d my mind and peaked my interest. Do you workout? I do and while I track my steps, I would love to be able to track more than just that. How would you like it if a device would be able [...]
Last summer, I decided to join our local gym. While we have an elliptical and a treadmill here at home, it’s good for the mind and soul to get out and socialize with other people, especially while working out. I’m pretty extremely technical, so when I go to the gym, I have to take my [...]
With the holidays so near, how do you stay on track with your eating and weight? Do you count calories or do you completely avoid all the holiday foods? I have been battling my weight on and off for 5 years, ever since my daughter was born. There has been so much that has gone [...]

Earlier this month, I received a pair of SKECHERS Stride Running shoes. With my daily workouts, I thought I would start up running.

For those that know me, know that I love making things, including walls in my house. Well, last week, I bought a new treadmill, and while I like everything about it, the one thing that it didn’t have was a place to hold my iPad. I like to read, watch a movie, or even type [...]
I grew up in a smoking household where both of my parents and my brother smoked. Even my grandmother and other relatives smoke. I was, and still am the only one in my family that doesn’t smoke. Anytime we visit my family, there is always the thought of how bad our clothes and belongings will [...]

We live in a 1900 home and our storage in this house is pretty limited. I have been slowly doing some renovations in the house to make it more our own, as well as to create more usable storage. Parts within my home were transformed in to other rooms. Example – this is the front [...]
With my workout and fitness routine, one thing that keeps me moving is my music on the go. Whether I am out for a run, going for a walk or on an elliptical work out, I like to have headphones that can keep up with me. I had the change to try out a couple [...]
I have worked pretty darn hard over the last few months to lose 50 pounds and to maintain that weightloss. One thing that I firmly believe in is that you can lose weight while enjoying sweets. You don’t have to give everything up! The Skinny Cow you know and love now has NEW Candy that [...]
I cannot tell you how many wipes that we go through in a given month. A lot, that’s all I know! While the kids use them when they go potty, I have also found myself using their wipes. Well, they aren’t flushable, so I started to look for a product that is flushable, as well [...]
Ever since I have been working out and getting more active in my daily routine, I have had more energy and I am not sluggish anymore. Within my routine, I have been watching what I eat, practicing moderation, and one thing that has helped with my nightly cravings is to drink a glass of milk [...]

In 2007, after I had my youngest, I decided to get the Mirena birth control device. When I went in for my appointment, I was told that I may or may not have a period with the Mirena. It’s been 3 1/2 years since I got it and I can say that there have been [...]
I travel quite a bit. One thing that I have learned to make my trips easier, is to travel with my iPad instead of my heavy laptop. I have tried a few cases for my iPad, but nothing has really made me fall in love. I had the chance to check out the Venture Gold [...]
Anytime I travel, I always take an empty water bottle with me. I usually stick it in my purse so once I get past security, I can fill it up and not have to waste money on buying water in the airport. That can get expensive with as much water as I drink! I was [...]
With the weather turning nice enough to go outside for walks, one thing that I was dreading was pulling out the stroller or the wagon to tote the kids in for walks. While pulling the kids in the wagon is good exercise, it gets tiring after a short while. When Kambry was a baby, I [...]
I travel a lot. This ranges anywhere from an 80 mile trip to get groceries, run errands and to buy in bulk, 5 hour family travels, to airport traveling for bloggy events where I am rushing to get to the next gate, meanwhile I want to know who is texting, messaging or emailing me without [...]
This isn’t so much a Wordless Wednesday, because I am utterly proud of myself! I am down exactly 40 POUNDS and have gone from a size 18 to a size 8. SIZE EIGHT! I put on my ‘goal jeans‘ the other day and they were kind of snug. I thought that I had eaten a [...]

I have been stuck at a weightloss plateau for a couple of weeks now. Plateaus can be quite annoying, but I am glad to have been stuck, than to gain any weight back. I stepped on the scale this morning and was happy giddy as can be to see that I am down another 2.5 [...]
With my blog, I travel quite a bit. I also like to mail out thank you’s to the companies that I work with. With this said, I go through a lot of business cards, as well as post card mailers. There is one company that I have trusted for at least 3 years for my [...]

New Year, New Challenges! I think it’s pretty common during the first of the year for most of us to be more aware of our bodies and work to lose weight and get fit & healthy. While I am working on my New Year’s resolutions, I am more aware of my eating, I practice moderation [...]
I have been working hard to lose weight & get fit. My PT had told me that with my 5 foot 7 inches, that I needed to get down to 115 – 120 pounds. That is entirely too small for my height and frame. It’s not only my opinion, but a fact. Do you ever [...]
How many of you go through your closets and dresser drawers and you have clothes that you aren’t quite able to fit in to because they are too small or too tight, but instead of tossing them out, you store them for ‘just in case you can fit in to them later‘? Before I got [...]
Every day, I work out on my elliptical when Kambry naps. This is a good hour’s time for me to sweat it up and get myself fit for the New Year. While I was on the elliptical, the postman came & when I opened the package, I was excited to see a new pair of [...]
Just after Kambry was born, I had a friend that told me about this soup diet where she had lost quite a bit of weight, so I had to try it. I am very picky when it comes to fruits & vegetables, so I decided to try this, but give it my own twist. To [...]

As you may have seen, the last 6 months I have been working pretty darn hard to get fit and stay that way. I managed to lose 33 pounds in just a short time; about 3 ½ months. I am steadily maintaining that loss, but I am ready to get back on the wagon to [...]

I have been working out on my elliptical, as well as running and walking to stay active but have been having some pains in my legs. My only guess was that this was being caused from my shoes. I swear I have tried several types of shoes, even tried new padding to see if that [...]
Technology blows my mind every day. It seems that the tiny pieces of technology are more powerful than any of us realize. I am a huge fan of Apple products and there is one new product that came out that I am really in awe at. Who would have thought that something this small would [...]
I started my fitness routine around August 10th (ish – give or take a few days). My first month, I very excitedly lost 20 pounds! 20 pounds in ONE month. I went from a size 18 to a size 10. My weightloss has slowed down a bit, but I have begun to build muscle. Every [...]
I have been kicking tail on the elliptical, walking, jogging, working out and watching what I eat. One of my main rules for myself is that I do not eat past 6pm, but that is because I am an early bed-timer, so this has worked great for me. I work out for about an hour [...]
Things have been so chaotic lately with being reconnected with a family member that I haven’t seen in 13 years that I haven’t had a chance to tell you all about my amazing experience to Arkansas to meet with Sam’s Club just a few short weeks ago. I promise I will get that posted soon! [...]
I am about to say four words that may shock you. High Fructose Corn Syrup I have had a curiosity about the differences in high fructose corn syrup verses sugar. The Corn Refiners Association launched a multi-media campaign to clear up some miscommunications. Many of the spark stemz from fructose vs. glucose and the quantity [...]
For the last couple of months, I have been replacing one meal a day with a Healthy Choice frozen meal. To be honest, at first, I thought to myself ‘a frozen meal?’ I have never been a real fan of frozen meals because some that I have had in the past have had a weird [...]

I have been exercising on my Elliptical every day, drinking plenty of water, eating healthier options like carrots as a snack and I have been replacing one meal a day (I chose to replace my lunch time meal) with a Healthy Choice meal. With all my motivation and hard work….. Drum roll please…. I am [...]
I am on a mega weight loss and ‘get fit’ mission. I think we all have those times in our lives. With this said, what do you do about your clothes that are too big? Personally, I don’t like to go out and buy new clothes that will fit me as I continue my weight [...]
