These 21 Day Fix recipe ideas are delicious and nutritious! I know it sounds corny, but the 21 Day Fix changed the way I eat and think about food. It’s also had a huge influence on the way my family relates to meals, as well. I think of it as a stepping stone for better…
Stress can wreak havoc on your health. It causes depression, leads to tightened muscles, harms the heart and the brain, and, yet, for many of us the stress of daily living is hard to shake off. For me, stress sits in my shoulders. It hunkers down for the long haul and sometimes even recruits my…
It hardly seems possible, but it’s been exactly one year since I snapped my first “before” picture and started on a fitness journey that’s had a huge impact on my life. April 28th, 2015, a day that shall live in infamy…or at least serve as a landmark for what I never want to go back…
I love lists and planners, always have and always will. I use a traditional Franklin Covey 2-page a Day Planner for my daily to-dos, lists, calendar, etc. I love it with it’s bright red binder and ample pages. It works well for most things, but after listening to Mindy Lawhorne’s Power Hour training, I realized…

When I first started getting serious about fitness at the beginning of 2015, it was with the primary goal of losing weight. I had gone with my family to my parents’ home (they live on an island in the Caribbean – rough, I know), and the day that we were leaving, my dad’s friend snapped…

Mom, wife, daughter, sister, friend, business owner, social media marketer, teacher, personal trainer…the list is seemingly endless. Most days, I manage to navigate the changing of hats without a great deal of hassle. But other days…the days when…
When I started the 21 Day Fix, I was woefully out of shape. Of course, I didn’t think I was that bad. What’s a few extra pounds…or 60 as the case was? I mean, really, these workouts were 30 minutes. Ha! How bad could that be?
Ah, the 21 Day Fix! You’ve probably heard about it (or maybe not!). I have to say that I knew nothing about it until late 2014. It sounded like a get-fit-quick scheme and that wasn’t anything I wanted to be a part of. BUT, I quickly discovered that it wasn’t that at all. In fact,…
I love the 21 Day Fix and these 21 Day Fix Approved Snacks and Meals make it even easier to stick to the program! Seriously love it. It’s been life changing for me these last seven weeks and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Almost 13 pounds down and muscles making an appearance for…
