If you've been keeping up, you know that our family has been on a Paleo journey for the past few months. Much of what we have learned and done has been thanks to my friend, Camille from The School of Inner Beauty and Paleo, Love & Transformation. She wrote this beautifully delicious Paleo cookbook and I'm so excited to have the opportunity to give one of the e-books away to a lucky new subscriber to my newsletter.

Friday favorites and another give away!

Geez, I sure have been in the middle of a major writer's block! To be quite honest, I just have had no desire or drive to try to think of something clever to say. So, I've just been riding it out because as with everything in life, it always passes.

This morning I caught myself in a funky mood, so I indulged and picked up a really bad coffee drink on my way to work. It's called a Monkey and it has 4 shots of espresso, banana flavoring, chocolate powder and peanut butter. This thing is loaded with sugar, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and am totally ok with that! :)

Ok, who knew that Trader Joe's has a whole line of cookbooks? Not me! I was at Barne's & Noble the other day perusing my favorite section and just happened upon this little jewel. How cool is that?!!

And last, but certainly not least, is my next giveaway! I know many of you have heard of Sweaty Bands... These things are really super duper totally and completely awesome. First of all, I haven't been able to wear headbands in a LONG time because of the cysts I had on my head. After having them removed last month, I was finally able to explore the world of doing different things with my hair and I just had to try Sweaty Bands. I've never really liked headbands because it seems they ALWAYS slip off of my head. Annoying right? NOT Sweaty Bands! They stay put through my entire workout and even the rest of the day when I don't get to my shower right away. Ew, too much info. ;) Even the Hubs is a fan! :)

Want to win yourself one? Comment below and my kiddos will pick a random winner on Wednesday, the 25th. If you don't win, check out their website and give them a try.. you won't be sorry!

Have a wonderful weekend!! :)

XOXO

LiveFit Weeks 2/3 & my first give away!

Happy Friday, healthy people! This past couple of weeks has been absolutely insane, but I'm so excited because I feel like I'm getting back on my game and ready to have some fun. :)

This morning wrapped up week 3 of Jamie Eason's LiveFit trainer and I'm still LOVING it. We've also changed up our schedule and are now getting our workouts done in the mornings. I love having the evenings freed up to be with the family and spend time in the kitchen. I was in a major funk last week (week 2) and only got to work out one day, but since I'm not new to weight training, I decided not to back track and just pick up where I would have been without the break. Leg day (Monday) was a killer and I've been sore in different areas all week. Sometimes being sore like that is just so bitter-sweet. There's nothing like feeling the proof of a good workout!

As for the diet part of the LiveFit trainer, I'm not even looking at it anymore. The hubs has recently gone gluten free and we're both vegetarian, so our areas of focus are a little different than what's in the program. Our main focus is that we eat LOTS of fresh fruits and veggies, and still get enough protein. I also periodically track my intake with myfitnesspal.com, just to be sure I'm on track.

No matter what you're doing on your health and fitness journey, your number one prioroty should always be what you're putting in your body. That will always be the main factor to the outcome you obtain. I'm confident that as long as we continue to eat clean and healthy 80+% of the time, we will still be extremely successful with this program. Watch and see! ;)


And now... (drum roll please!!) for my very first giveaway!! I'm so excited to enter this world of sharing great products with my great fans! It is such a joy for me to share the things that I use on my health and fitness journey, and this is just the beginning of things to come.

Have you seen, tried, or heard of the Blender Bottle? I've been seeing this thing all over the place and when I found their website, I just had to try it. The hubs and I have been using it and it works better than I imagined it would or could. No clumps and it comes out nice and smooth. It doesn't leak when you shake it and the smaller size that we got fits inside of our lunch cooler perfectly! And it's green, too - BPA free! This thing ROCKS!! :)

And here are more features about the Classic, which is the one we got:

BlenderBall® whisk inside

Secure screw-on lid

Wide mouth makes it easy to add ingredients

Large drink/pour spout

StayOpen flip cap™ won't close on your nose

GripperBars™ make it easy to hold

Happy June!!

Where did this week go? What about the month?! Sheesh! Next week is my kids last week of school, so we're in the middle of all of their end of year festivities. Open houses, musical performances, parent meetings, one kid getting ready for middle school, another kid graduating high school, family coming to town -- all on top of our regularly scheduled sports and day-to-day business. If only I didn't have to sleep!

So, I haven't had time for my blogging this week, but I've been conjuring up so many things that I thought I could at least give you a teaser of what's to come!

First~ this weekend, Sunday, June 3rd is the day that my guest post for Tosca Reno's blog goes live! I'm so excited to be a part of the launching of her new book, The Eat Clean Diet Vegetarian Cookbook. I will be talking about my evolution of becoming a vegetarian and how Tosca's books have played a part in my learning how to be and eat healthy.

Second~ I've really been working to get more involved with my ~HH~ community and the pieces are finally starting to come together. I am going to be hosting my first reviews and giveaways! This means I get to try some great new stuff and share it with some lucky winners! Details coming soon, but in the meantime you can check out who I've teamed up with.

The first review and giveaway will be with The Blender Bottle. I've been seeing these things all over the place and they look so awesome. The hubs and I are always taking our shakes on the go and these revolutionary bottles seem like they would make life so much easier. Check them out and keep your eyes open for the deets!

The next giveaway... well, I think I'll keep you guessing for now, but I assure you it's going to be LOVELY!! Stay tuned!!

I was beating myself up because I only got in three workouts this week, and then I remembered that 3 is better than 0! The thing is, I LOVE my new gym and I just want to be in there every day, but right now our schedule just isn't allowing for it. Cool thing though... we're now able to take our almost 11 year old with us. Today was his first time inside of a gym and he loved it. He's such a super awesome sport and so enthusiastic about being healthy and fit. I mean, can you imagine how your life may have been different if you had learned about health and fitness at such a young age? I'm super proud to have him in there with us, and to have my other kids eager to get in there in the next few years. I think we must be doing something right! :)

Hope you've all had a lovely week and have a great weekend ahead!
As always, thank you for reading, following and supporting~
