What the heck have I been up to?

Hello! It has officially been almost a year since I last posted and I can NOT believe it! My how time flies when you are having fun! I thought I would pop on to give you a little update about what has been going in my world and I plan on posting here more frequently!! A year will NOT go by before I post again!

So how about a recap regarding the year we have been apart:

*I became a Beachbody Coach and it has been the BEST decision I have ever made!

*I have really cleaned up my diet and recently completed my first round of the Whole30 plan. I will be starting round 2 tomorrow.

*I have completed Les Mills Pump, Focus T25 (twice!), The 21 Day Fix, and am currently doing P90x3 all in the comfort of my own home! While doing these programs I found my confidence, a zest for life, my energy!! (I seriously thought it was gone for good), and lost 32 pounds in the process!

*The thing that I have cherished most over this past year are the friendships I have formed while helping others change their lives! I run monthly private challenge groups on Facebook which help others that were in a rut just like me,find time for working out and eating clean! I also started running a FREE Fit Club, where anyone can come and sweat it out together doing different Beachbody programs!

*We adopted a new kitty… Ms. Birdy Higgins and she is a handful but we love her to pieces

*We finally signed up and did the Color Run! It really is the happiest 5k on Earth! No arguments there!

* In my spare time you will find me knitting and watching Game of Thrones or Downton Abbey (our current obsessions).

So what is new in your world? I have missed blogging so much and have finally made the commitment to get back into the swing of things and start sharing a little bit of my world with you again here! I hope everyone had a safe and fun holiday weekend!

XOXO

Inspiration to make you MOVE!!!

I don't know about you, but sometimes I just need that extra push to get me going in the morning. So I though I would share some with you today:









And last, but not least...

Adam Levine doing yoga! If nothing else that will make you smile!

Now get up and getting moving!

June Ab Challenge

My sweet friend Alexandria from Greetings from Nolandia posted a challenge this week on her blog! It seems that these days challenges are what I need to stay motivated, so I am jumping in!

Here are the rules (and they are simple!):

Starting today (I started Saturday, June 1, but just start today and go for 30 days), decide on a number of crunches you want to do. Each day add 5 more to that total! It is as simple as that! And yes that means crunches every day for 30 days!! Hello fit tummy!!


For me, I am starting out with 30. That might seem low, but by June 30 I will be doing 175 crunches! Being the list maker and planner that I am I wrote out how many crunches I need to do each day, and I mark it off once completed!

So who is in? If you are please leave a comment below. I would love to check in with everyone after you complete the challenge!

How about some inspiration to get you crunching...




And this one because we all need some humor in our lives...


Are you ready to get crunching???
XOXO
