Summer is on its way … well maybe … if you live in Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky sometimes you get all 4 seasons in the same week and you aren’t sure what month it is.
ARE YOU READY??? I’m NOT! I’m ready for the warmth of the summer sun but not quite bikini ready. If you are like me you have spent the cold snowy and rainy days cooped up in the house and eating (and maybe drinking) more than you should. I’m super excited that our 6 week slim down is coming soon! Nutrition guidelines, healthy recipes, weekly challenges, weekly workouts, fitness tips, and MORE are all included and I CANNOT wait to get started! I will start to feel better and be well on my way to my summer body.
STAY TUNED for all the info on how Heather and I can help you start to get swimsuit ready.
Mark Monday May 7th on your calendar as the start of the IMPROVED and HEALTHIER YOU!
Come join us FRIDAY April 27th for HAPPY HOUR!

I’m 5 weeks postpartum with baby number 2 and I decided I needed to get back on track! So I joined a 5 day clean eating challenge with some of my fellow Beachbody Coaches and started working out. The first few days were HARD! I’m tired from choppy sleep due to feeding a newborn on top of taking care of and running around after a toddler all day! HOWEVER, I can say that I completed week 1 and I feel much better than I have been. I had some more energy from eating better and def had a “high” and burst of energy after my workout. Needless to say I will be going into week 2 with a little more confidence in myself 🙂
I always knew but really am convinced now that working out not only is good for you physically but mentally and emotionally as well.
We have an entire deep freezer full of Purdue ground turkey breast so last night we made turkey burgers for dinner and they were delicious!
1lb Perdue ground turkey breast
1 egg
1/2 cup chopped shredded carrots
1/2 cup chopped baby spinach leaves
oregano – to your liking
pepper – to your liking
mix together, separate into patties and grill!
We had zucchini, squash and corn on the cob as a side.
Great summer grilling that is HEALTHY! Enjoy 🙂
For all of you out there saying I’m too old or I’d love to be 20 something again check out this great article saying that age really is just a number!
We should be honored to say that here in the US we have a phenomenal athlete playing on our world cup team that will be 40! Christie Rampone isn’t just a teammate but a mother and a wife. She is in better shape than most 20 somethings out there and has the work ethic and confidence to back it up!
Read the article and no matter what your age is remember it really is just a number. We are only as old as we feel and allow ourselves to act. You can work hard and reach goals at any age. It might get harder the older you get but NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!

Do you have the all or nothing mentality and is it holding you back? Are you the type that if you missed the workout this morning or had a bad meal you might as well throw in the towel for the day or for the whole week?
I often would struggle with this and think there is always tomorrow or there is always Monday. Well tomorrow comes and goes and another Monday passes by and the next thing you know it is a month later and you still haven’t seen a result. Moderation is key. It is ok to indulge every now and then and it won’t set you back as much as you think. However, blowing the whole day will!
As long as you can eat healthy and exercise 80-90% of the time you will still see results! Keep that in mind next time you slip up. Hop right back on track your next meal or get in a 15 min walk to get you back on track. It will be worth it 🙂
You don’t need to be perfect to achieve your goals
With vacations and long weekends coming up that only means one thing … lots of time in the car = lots of snacks and meals out = unwanted weight gain! I know I have been the culprit of the old “we will just grab something when we get gas or at the airport”. With a toddler on our hands that makes life even harder and sometimes when she is hungry we aren’t in a position to grab something and feed her. So it is much easier when I prepare snacks and carry them with us! It also helps with the occasional meltdown over something stupid! Hey I can’t blame her I’ve been there and sometimes when I’m hungry I may just have a meltdown myself!
Check out this great link for HEALTHY easy on the go snacks all under 200 calories for in the car! Great article by Beachbody!
With all the chatter about the ever (getting more) popular dadbod I thought I would share the MOMBOD! The super sexy, strong, I’ve been through hell body of a HEALTHY mom! Sometimes things just don’t go back to normal post baby. Sometimes lack of sleep and a needy toddler don’t allow for the awesome sweatfest you had planned!
Always remember if you are healthy and strong and able to hang with your kiddo you are doing something right! It IS NOT about a certain number on the scale or size in the back of your pants. It IS about being beautiful on the inside and doing your best!
