How Much Sugar Are You Eating?

Sugar, sugar, sugar...the magical fruit, the more you eat.....WAIT....wrong food group!

But for real, it is NO surprise that the over consumption of sugar has been tied to diabetes, obesity, hyperactivity, and dental cavities.

My Top Holiday Hacks

Enjoy ALL things Holiday - while still being in a positive weight loss mindset!

Is it just me or did the holiday's creep up behind us??

I feel like I was JUST celebrating my 40th (last month), trick o' treating with the kids and now it's THANKSGIVING?

This used to be the most CHALLENGING time of year for me. I'm talking MAJOR slippery slope. One party would lead to another, would lead to a "f*ck it" mentality and I would deal with the aftermath I did to my body, after the first of the year. Lame …

The 411 On Nutrition Fact Labels

NEW - Beachbars!

Do you bar?

I'm not always one to recommend protein bars, but I see there to be a place & need for them, when you are needing something in a pinch, and isn't full of all the garbage you'll find in most protein bars on shelves today.

I love that the creators of these bars - the same ones that put the UTMOST thought into Shakeology and our Beachbody Performance Line ingredients - took their time putting these together to assure they aren't just ANOTHER protein snack bar.

My POWERFOOD Smoothie Bowl


I know, I know, its Fall and eating cold food for a meal isn't always ideal, but hey, this is worth it!! This, I will tell you, goes beyond a superfood Smoothie Bowl. I like to refer to it as POWER FOOD!
