21 Day Fix/Fix Extreme Program

This is an AMAZING 21-day program that not only gives you amazing workouts but it teaches you how to eat healthy and in proportion to your body weight. You learn how to eat in portion control and what category each food you eat goes under. Is it a vegetable? Fruit? Carb? Healthy fat? Protein? or something that has no nutritional value to your body. This program truly taught me how to eat and what clean eating really means. The workouts are great and they are only 30 minutes! Here are a few tips to help you get going with the program. If anyone is interested in starting or hearing more information about this program, send me an e-mail!

Just Saying.....

Everyone Is

Lets be honest, we are all a freakin' mess! Although there are times when everything falls into place and life seems perfect, we ALL have skeletons in our closet, bad days and days where getting out of bed seems impossible. That is the beauty of this life, embrace your imperfections and know that you are NOT alone, trust me. Even that person on social media who always seems to have it together: the perfect family, house, no money problems, the best fashion and always seems to eat clean/exercise. NOPE, they don't always have it together, they are a mess too. We all are so accept it and love the good and bad times in your life. Life would be dull if we always had sunshine and rainbows, the bad times shake it up and they are lessons that we learn from. So treasure the good AND bad times in your life and know that everything happens for a reason. 

Pregnancy Fashion-It's all about COMFORT!

I'd like to think of myself as the comfy pants queen! I often get compliments on my pants and I rarely ever wear jeans. I LOVE these "PJ" pants and I always find the best deals and styles. I mainly find them at Target and TJMaxx but occasionally find a good deal at Ross. These are great for pregnancy (and even after), they are comfortable, can be dressed up and dressed down, are work appropriate and can be paired with a variety of different styles. Happy shopping!

P.S. This is me at about 27 weeks pregnant, where comfort is a MUST. :)

Pregnancy Update

Well I am officially in my 25th week of pregnancy and I must say, I love being pregnant. Call me crazy but I have had such an amazing experience so far. Everything new (whether it is good or bad) has been such a great experience, my body is continuing to change, baby is growing and kicking more than ever and I love it. My first trimester was rough with morning sickness and fatigue, I felt like I slept ALL the time. As I moved into my second trimester, I experienced and continue to experience heartburn, bleeding gums, round ligament pain, dry nose, my belly itches and it is getting hard to touch my toes haha. However, we also got to find out we are having a boy, he kicks like crazy and my heart fills with joy every time I feel it. The nursery is almost finished, we have two names picked out and we continue to plan for this amazing bundle of joy that is coming our way in just a few short months.

My eating has been, by no means perfect. I stay pretty close to my clean eating routine during the week but if I want a dessert or crave something a little more on the unhealthy side, I eat it. One HUGE difference I believe is my working out. I have consistently worked out throughout this entire pregnancy, even during the rough first few months when all I wanted to do was sleep. It has been tough at times but it has been so worth it. I truly believe my body has reacted so well to pregnancy due to my consistency in working out and staying active. I have also continued to drink Shakeology on top of taking my prenatal pills which has been a wonderful addition as well.

Overall, my first pregnancy has been amazing and I am so excited to meet this beautiful baby boy! He will be an amazing addition to our family. It will be a shake up for the animals but mama and daddy to be are beyond thrilled.
