Shakeology Spring Sale

Okay, if you've been following my blog for any amount of time, you have probably realized how much I love Shakeology. I have it nearly everyday, and I have to say I can totally tell when I don't. Since I started using Shakeology several months ago, my energy has been up, my weight stayed (fairly) consistent and my hair, skin and nails are the healthiest they've ever been! I realize now, more than ever, that health truly...

Did you know?..... Salt

Did you know that the amount of salt (or sodium) we should get each day is no more than 2,300 milligrams, but the average person actually consumes 4,600 milligrams (twice as much as we should get)? Salt is important to our diet but getting too much leads to hypertension, which can lead to a heart attack or stroke. Lower your sodium intake by limiting the amount of processed foods you eat, ready labels, and keeping a...

The Double-Edged Sword of “Healthy” Fast Food

I love getting guest bloggers and I'm sure this is one you will truly appreciate fromTom Venutowww.BurnTheFat.comLet me know what you think. It is reasons such as this that we are so fat and unhealthy and it's time to start a serious dialog about what we are eating. What’s on the menu at the big fast food chains lately? Oddly enough, the answer is… “health food!” Even more incongruous, many are marketing their food for...

Did you know?...... Working out, outside

Did you know that taking your workouts outside, like say a park area, can make you feel more relaxed and energized? Instead of the same, old boring routine at the gym, find a buddy to workout with while the kids play on the playground or join a boot camp (like Body Power Boot Camp here in Des Moines) and enjoy the great outdoo...

Jamie Oliver's "Food Revolution"

There is a new show starting on ABC that shows how far gone we've gone in our food consumption as American's called Jamie Oliver's "Food Revolution". There was a sneak preview this past Sunday and if you watched, I would imagine you were just as shocked at the ignorance of the people Jamie was working with as I was. I also believe that a good majority of us are just as ignorant and Jamie is doing this to enlighten us...

Aww, the elusive pull-up

Pull-ups seem to be the end all, be all of exercises, at least for many of us. I know of people who want the 6-pack abs, or want to run a certain distance without stopping or in a certain time, but it seems pull-ups are at the top of most people's lists of ultimate exercises. If you've been doing P90X, you've seen Tony Horton crank out a ton of pull-ups and you may have already conquered this quest too. But if you haven't...

Did you know?...... Fiber

Did you know if you add just 10 more grams of fiber to your diet everyday, you can reduce the amount of calories you eat by 10%? This adds up to better digestion, a feeling of fullness and overall weight loss. Add some ground flax seed to your daily Shakeology, commit to eating at least one salad a day or try a new veggie you've never eaten befo...

No More Excuses!!!!

I hit a really big milestone recently. My oldest son turned 18 years old. I can hardly believe it myself, but my little boy is all grown up. The time has literally flown by. Just last week he was a sweet, happy, loving baby and now he is (technically) a man. Really make a person take a good, hard look at their life, I must say. How does this relate to no more excuses? Well, let me tell you. We, as humans, are always...

Did you know?...... Spirulina

Did you know spirulina- the blue-green algae you can find in your nearest health food store is packed full of protein, vitamin B12, beta carotene, and iron? Because of this, adding spirulina to your diet can boost your metabolism by as much as 11%, researchers in Greece have found. Try adding some to your morning smoothie, protein shakes or sprinkle it on oatmeal or yogu...
