When I was 21-years-old, I’d go the gym – sporadically, of course – and do 100 crunches like nothing. I’d take a yoga class and actually do the crow pose. I’d end my night with sugary cocktails and start my day with a Supreme Croissant from Jack-in-the-Box because that is what you eat when you’re hungover. …
Last week, I completed Round 2 of the 21 Day Fix. WHAT WHAT! {You can read about my first 21 Day Fix experience here for more details on how the nutrition plan works, what kid of workouts are involved, and how I felt about the whole thing in general.} This is a huge deal for …
Earlier today, I canceled my Weight Watchers membership (for what is probably the thirteenth time since 2009). I like Weight Watchers, so please don’t get me wrong. I think it’s a great program! But a few wonky details (like an app I didn’t love and a confusing method of figuring out points when making a recipe) …

When I was committed to Weight Watchers, my biggest complaint (besides the restriction on how much food I was allowed to eat, waaaaah) was how cumbersome their website and app felt. I didn’t like using them to track my points. I missed the little journals they used to pass out in the old days (like …
In our house, breakfast is probably our favorite meal. And by probably, I really mean, totally. Eggs, bacon, pancakes…the stuff dreams are made of, I tell you. The best part is that my kids actually eat breakfast, and there are rarely any tears over the food we eat. Rarely. Every now and then, though, one …
I’ve written about this before. Getting my kids to eat their veggies is kind of a…battle. To put it nicely. In all fairness, I have one child who will try anything I ask her to try and willingly eats carrots, potatoes, and a select few other veggies. But the other child? Notsomuch. And it turns …
I want to share the super-easy and kid-friendly breakfast parfaits I made this afternoon. It’s kind of awesome having tomorrow’s breakfast all prepped and ready to go for tomorrow morning! Last week, as I was meal planning, Jack asked if we could please have Market Street Mac & Cheese for dinner one night. Actually, his request …
I have one particular smoothie that I make several times a week. I’d make it every day, if I wasn’t always running out of spinach or pineapple. I like it because it’s a dairy-free, juice-free green smoothie – and it still tastes delicious. This is made from whole foods (fruits and spinach!), and is even …
Remember back in January when I talked about how I wasn’t making resolutions…I was making plans? Well, one of those plans was to lose weight and get in shape. And to be honest, I’ve tried about six diets in as many weeks and failed every. single. time. So, last week I got serious and joined …
