Easter is coming!!! I can't believe that its just 6 days away!! We've been super busy and I haven't had a chance to even think about Easter let alone play Easter Bunny and get all the goodies for their baskets!! Thank goodness for Amazon Prime right?!?!?
Easter is one of my favorite holidays! i love that its warming up, spring has all the flowers blooming and I love watching the kids running around looking for eggs! But what I don't love is all the candy! Sure a couple pieces is fine with me but there is no reason for those little bodies to be packed with sugar and artificial ingredients and dyes! I know for mine personally when they get too much sugar they get hyper, they crash hard and listening is pretty much out the window. So to make it a better day for everyone we'll just limit it to the couple pieces and move on to the other goodies!! Here's what I'll be adding to the baskets this year, I hope these ideas help you too! Easter Basket Ideas for Boys
A ball-since he is totally obsessed with sports and being outdoors this is sure to be a hit! Also because he kicks them over the neighbors fence just about every day we need to add to the collection!
Bubbles– it’s spring time and who doesn’t want to be outside blowing bubbles.
Cadbury Eggs-his special treat!
Books– He's really taking off with his reading and loves sharing new books that he finds at school. This is one of his current favorites!
Money– Instead of filling their eggs with candy let’s put in a few coins. Bubble Bath– my kiddos LOVE "swimming" in the tub and making bubble beards!
Movie-Trolls is a hit this year! He LOVES to dance and this one has him moving all around! Plus we love our Friday family movie nights snugging and eating popcorn
New paints and art supplies– to let them shine their creativity.
Easter Basket Ideas for Girls
Play-doh- Harper love, love, loves playing with Play-Doh. Keeps us busy for hours!
Bows - We run through these things like crazy so its time to restock
Chalk - You can never have enough chalk!! We are just about out of last years haul. Get ready for some hop scotch and tic-tac-toe!
Cadbury Eggs-her special treat! Crayons - We got out the easel and now its time to make some fun creations!
Movie - Moana is Harpers favorite!! My little dancing queen loves to dance with her babies!
Gardening Tools- She is so excited every time we get outside to do yard work. Having her own set of tools will keep her excited and safe.
So I'll be placing my order tonight and putting those baskets together later in the week. I cant wait to see their little faces when they come down Sunday morning! Looks like I better get some sun screen too because from the looks of it we'll be spending lots of time outside playing!!
Ok so last week you heard me talking about the brand new Beachbody All Access On Demand Challenge Pack but what the heck is it and how can you get your little hands on this amazing new launch??
Well, Friends I am very excited to announce that Beachbody is setting us up to have a VERY successful new year as far as our health, fitness and financial goals go!! And as a coach my job is to help you reach those goals through my online fitness accountability groups!!

All participants who meet the requirements of logging 5 Shakeologys a week and working out a minimum of 3 times per week and logging it into the Challenge Tracker App will get their piece of the $2-3 million dollar pot!

What Do I Offer as a Coach? As a coach, I have been on my own fitness journey for four years. I started my journey with TurboFire, and learned about the importance of clean eating and long term commitment making this a lifestyle change not the typical fad diet I had tried before. Throughout the past 4 years, I’ve lost 50 pounds after the birth of my son and currently losing again after the birth of my daughter. Both my husband and I are on a health and fitness journey that is a lifestyle that we’ve committed to.
I am excited to work with people who are ready to make a permanent change too. The all access challenge pack gives you the same tools I’ve used at your fingertips. Except you dont have to spend HUNDREDS of dollars like I did, buying all the programs separately!! Want to gain muscle and tone? Hammer and Chisel is yours! Need to learn the basics of nutrition? Great! Let’s start the 21 Day Fix and learn portion control and how to eat the right combinations of foods. Love your cardio? Cool. Let’s kick butt with some Shaun T and Max30!

4th of July weekend is upon us and for so many that means that we'll be attending events, gatherings, BBQ's and pool parties!! That also means that many of us will be letting our guard down as far as eating healthy. Now dont get me wrong....I WANT you to enjoy your weekend! Have fun, relax and be present with your loved ones but just remember the 80/20 rule...you dont have to go too crazy and blow your whole week of hard work!! So I wanted to share with you some tips and tricks to get through the weekend and feel great come Tuesday!!
FIRST and foremost.... Don't skip your workouts!! Especially if you are planning to have a cheat day!! So if you're traveling throw in your DVDs and your laptop or get the 30 day FREE trial of Beachbody OnDemand! You can download the On Demand App to your phone or ipad and stream the workouts. Plus with On Demand you can store up to 7 workouts so that you don't even need wifi connection!
SECOND....Drink (and bring) LOTS of water!! It's hot out there and so often we forget our water. And even worse I've attended events where my only options were soda or alcohol. So never leave that up to chance...throw a couple extra bottles of water in your pool bag or diaper bag just in case you're in a pinch. And just because its the weekend doesnt mean we shouldn't aim to get in half our body weight in oz!! Drink up friends. Try adding some strawberry and lemon for a refreshing pick me up!! THIRD....Dont get so hungry that you make unhealthy choices. I know if you're traveling that there are not always the healthiest options when you stop for gas or are on a long stretch of highway. So make sure you're eating every 2.5-3 hours and pack a cooler of healthy snacks to grab on the go. Some of my favorites are string cheese and apple, nuts and apples, hummus and veggies, or Shakeology. If you need something a little more substantial, make some grilled chicken wraps and throw them in the cooler for a great lunch on the go!
FOURTH....ALWAYS bring something to your event! You may not be able to control EVERYTHING served at a party but you can bring a dish that you made so you know exactly what went into it and also that you will be able to enjoy something that you like and is healthy!! FIFTH....Plan your cheat meal so you're prepared and not left feeling guilty!! If you KNOW that you want Aunt Sally's potato salad or maybe your moms cherry pie is calling your name, plan for it! Enjoy it! And move on!! But remember to keep it in moderation and think of the BIG picture....appetizers, meals, desserts, cocktails....where do you want to splurge and where can you cut back? Speaking of cocktails!! Traditional margaritas, beers and wines can contain a ton of sugar and calories. But dont worry! I've got you covered... Here are a few of my favorites that are so yummy but will keep you on track!!
PiñaCroixlada
This is a lighter take on the traditional piña colada without the coconut creme and existential guilt.
Light rum - 1 oz
Coconut LaCroix
Splash of pineapple juice
Combine all three ingredients, serve with a pineapple wedge.
So get out there and enjoy your holiday weekend!! Apply these tips, enjoy the recipes and let me know how you do!!
If you find Tuesday that you've over done it a little and would like help getting back on track I am opening an exclusive 30 day online health and fitness challenge group where I'll be teaching...
-Balance between those summer treats and your goals. -How to travel and eat healthy. -How to make a meal plan. -Healthy summer swaps. -Proper portion size. -30 minute total body workouts. -At least 1 cheat meal per week.
My goal is to teach you how to make a lifestyle change, not a crash diet, or something you feel deprived by! My goal is to give you tools that will last forever!
Are you in??? If so fill out the application below and invite some friends!!
Complete the application below
I will be in contact with you in the next 24 hours with details. And we start plan and prep Monday July 4th!!
NOTE: You cannot already be a coach or working with another coach!
You guys hear me talk all the time about how important it is to plan and prep for a successful week and what you do (or dont do) at the grocery store really lays the groundwork for your healthy habits! Remember...if you stock the kitchen with good food, you eat good food!! But its easy to make mistakes at the grocery store too...here are a couple to be sure to avoid!
1. Not going in with a shopping list Before you can make a list you need to make a meal plan so you know exactly what you'll be eating and exactly what you need to buy. Are you having left overs? What nights do you have kids sports? What days do you need extra snacks? Take a few minutes to sit down and look at the week ahead. Then plan your meals, check the fridge and pantry for what you already have then write down the rest on your list
2. Shopping when distracted I always advise against shopping while hungry! Thats the #1 distraction right there. You cant concentrate and everything looks so good, you just toss it in the cart! So make sure you've had a nice healthy meal before you start! Also make sure you're really focused on what you're doing. Dont be on the phone or checking emails. It is so easy to skip over prices, nutritional info or even leave without something you actually needed!
3. Overlooking the nutritional info or serving sizes Something that is so important to do is to READ LABELS!! I'm not just talking about the Calories, Fat grams and carbs. I mean look over the INGREDIENTS too!! We're all so brainwashed to grab the fat free, low fat, low carb etc. But what that usually means is that the sugars have been upped and the food item is PACKED with crap to still make it taste good! Make sure you can read the ingredients and know what they are. Not wonder if they came from a science experiment. Also serving sizes....look ahead at your list. I have found through using the 21 Day Fix portion control system that the one chicken breast I used to eat for dinner is actually 2-3 times the amount I should be eating!!! So that pack of chicken you thought might only last your family 1-2 dinners could actually be stretched a LOT further!
4. Skipping the freezer section and canned goods I typically choose to get fresh produce but at the same time this could mean that I make extra trips to the grocery store through the week as sometimes it can go bad quickly! So I've started getting frozen broccoli, green beans and berries to keep on hand too. These items are frozen at their peak so have just as much nutrition as the fresh varieties.
Same goes for the meat. I recently spoke with the butcher and he told me that much of the stuff comes frozen to the store. So unless you need something to cook for dinner and you forgot to thaw something out the frozen options are just as good I also stock up on canned tomatoes and beans for chilis, beans and rice or soups. But make sure you check for low sodium options and honestly the organic options are VERY similar in price so I go organic as much as I can.
5. Hitting the produce section last
Just like your dinner plate, your shopping cart should be mostly filled with veggies!! So hit up the produce section first and try some new things!! If youre looking to reduce your carbs try cauliflower for rice or pizza crusts. Zucchini or spaghetti squash noodles in place of pasta!! You'll soon realize you're not missing much from the high calorie rice and pastas and you'll be surprised at how filling it is!!
