    Weight Management: It’s Just a Number

    How many of you out there rely on a number on the scale to tell you that you are OK? That you are healthy and look good? Using the scale as an indicator of progress or overall health is not the most accurate way to figure out how you are doing health wise. I constantly…

  • A Super Sports Drink for Superior Hydration

    I’m not someone who pushes health and wellness products without ensuring they fit within my health and wellness perspective and if I personally used or tried it.  So, I was pleasantly surprised when BODYARMOR Sports Drink reached out asking if I would consider sharing information about their BODYARMOR LYTE Sports Drink and SportWater. I have…

  • Healthy High Protein Breakfast

    Starting this week, I’m focusing on eating enough protein daily. I’ve struggled with this in the past. Mainly because it takes more effort and prep time to make healthy, good high protein meals and it’s a hell of a lot easier and faster to eat carbs (healthy kind or not).   My body responds really well…

    Don’t Believe the Hype or the Memes

    I came across this posting on FB the other day –and it came at the right time. I have been dealing with a deep tissue tear in my back and just feeling a general fatigue and lack of motivation for some of my workouts. So, after reading this – I gave myself a pep talk…

    Are You Being Selfish Enough When It Comes to Your Health?

    I came across this blog post today: Who’s Really the Selfish One? and had to share it because it really encapsulates my perspective on how important my own health and fitness is to me and it totally aligns with the reason I even have my blog.  Taking care of yourself is not selfish! I hear too many parents in…

  • Dogs are Awesome: Their Amazing Health Benefits

    Dogs are amazing and awesome Last night, I watched this video: A dog’s remarkable journey to find a home: A distance of 6,455 miles doesn’t begin to measure the journey one dog made to join a team and find a family (video below) and I literally sat there crying for a few minutes after the video was over.…

  • Help! The Digital World is Taking Over Our Lives

    I rarely watch videos from start to end when they are more than a few min long, but the other day this one: Simon Sinek speaking about Millennials in the workplace of today, caught my attention and has really stuck with me. I have had to learn how to manage millennials and work with them in…

  • There’s No Escaping Getting Older

    As if hearing about George Michael’s passing wasn’t enough, now Carrie Fisher has died too. If you grew up in the 80’s, like I did, you have noticed that many of our childhood heroes and iconic figures are dying. Nancy Reagan, Prince, Bowie, Ali to name a few. I wonder if this is the beginning…

  • Parenting: Does It Ever Get Easier?

    It’s no secret that I’m not the tallest person — I’m around 5’3. Scotty, my husband, is 6’3. I figured when we had kids that they would most likely be taller than me. So, while it’s not a surprise that HB is now taller – there is a milestone moment in parenting when it hits you…

  • Light Therapy for the Winter Blues

    The holidays are such an interesting time of the year. It’s the most wonderful time of the year – or so we are told – but is it? I find that for many people, myself included it’s a tough time of year. High expectations, over indulgence, missing family – it can all add up to…
