I have found the golden ticket to having motivation in the gym. Workout next to a celebrity. Simple as that. So get this, I was just about done with my workout for the day Friday afternoon and Jake Owen walks in with his crew. JAKE OWEN! I live in Eau Claire, WI which is home…
Full Body Conditioning Workout
Earlier this week I talked about motivation. We all have motivation in us! Some days we may have to dig deeper than others but it is in you somewhere. Stop making excuses, say you can do it, dig deep and grind. You can easily do this workout at home as well. If you don’t have…
Blackberry and Coconut Water Dutch Chocolate Smoothie
Pills and powders and capsules OH MY! Let’s face it, nutrition can be hard. Every article you read tells you something different and everyone you talk to is peddling the simple pre-made and portioned food line. Not to mention you have the “Dr. Midday show” telling you that you are deficient and going to die…
Sweet Potato Toast 3 Ways
I have never seen so many “motivational Monday” posts and quotes as I have seen today and the day isn’t even over yet. We all have motivation in us. It is what we do with that motivation is what matters the most. I can sit here and spit motivational quotes to you left and right but…
30 Minute Sweat Session
Are you in as much need of the weekend as I am? This has been quite the week and I am looking forward to some fun, fitness, friends and family (just to name a few of my favorite F words)! You should have absolutely no excuse this weekend to not get in at least a little movement. If…
Protein Chocolate Chip and Blueberry Energy Balls
Do you find yourself ever apologizing for things that you really don’t need to be apologizing for? I recently read an article that popped up on a health website I follow about how apologizing is a “thing” for women in today’s society. As I read the article, I found myself shaking my head up and…
Paleo Chocolate Almond Butter Frozen Banana Pops
[Consistency] – the ability to remain the same in behavior, attitudes, or qualities. Man, you’d be surprised by how many definitions of consistency there is on the world wide web. This one really stuck with me when I read it, though. I have said it before and I am going to say it again, consistency…
5-10-15-20 HIIT Workout
Hey fit fam and happy FriYAY! Last weekend we were at our family cabin and wanted to get in a quick yet higher intensity workout. This workout can be done at home, in the park, on vacation and so on. We don’t let holiday weekends or vacations distract us from our goals and neither should…
Chocolate Protein Banana Overnight Oats
You read that right, overnight OATS. In a previous post I mentioned that things will be changing a bit around here and one of those things are non-paleo recipes. I used to “label” myself as paleo and I stuck to a paleo diet 99 percent of the time for a very long time. Over the…
My First Spartan Sprint Race Experience and an At Home Workout
Happy Friday! We did it, we have made it to the weekend and better yet, a holiday weekend! Bring on the sun, water, food and relaxing! Long holiday weekends, however, is not a free pass to let your diet go to hell. Earlier this week I shared a recipe for a fun Champagne Refresher were…
