For almost two years, since it’s inception, this site has been dedicated to my health and fitness journey, and to helping those around me discover the life of being fit and the joy of health.

It’s been a while since I’ve done a blog here. Life getting in the way, new job, new workout routines, just life. But that’s no excuse, and that’s what I’m here to blog about today!

In fitness, as in all things, you have to keep moving forward. I don’t care if you’re doing a Beachbody program, local boot camp or Zumba, or just your own thing. Keep. Moving. Forward.

21 Days of healthy eating

For the past three weeks, my fiance’e and I have embarked down a road of self discovery, food exploration, and overall wellness. We took the Beachbody Ultimate Reset Challenge. What’s this “Reset”?

Having trouble getting through a particular workout? Does it just seem so long and daunting that you find yourself glancing at the clock at what seems like 2-3 second intervals? Try this, break down your set.

It doesn’t have to be that way, though. Here are a few tricks this week to help you take that leap and ...

How many times have you told yourself “I can’t do it. I’m not fit enough. I have kids. I don’t have time. I can’t afford it.” Well my challenge to you us to STOP doing that, and START just doing IT! What is it? It is whatever you’re telling yourself you can’t do. It’s whatever is holding you back.

Last weekend I ran the Disney Princess Half Marathon, 13.1 miles. I worked out like crazy to get ...

Here it is! My first month of P90X2. I lost about 7lbs and 2% body fat. And I had a lot of FUN!

And neither is your perfect body! Results take TIME!

I know several of you reading this blog probably have some sort of time-based program you’re following. Be it P90X, RevAbs, 30-Day Shred, etc you’ve probably selected that program to get your desired body in that period of time. I;ll be honest, that’s false advertising.
