I wanted to throw out some more health tips for you guys before the new year, in case you’re looking to make changes after gorging yourself during the holidays (like I did). This is kind of how I stay on track for the long run. PLANNING AHEAD The most important thing you can do for yourself…
Just a quick reminder after my post yesterday, if you want to join in the party to hear some healthy living info and inspiration, there are 2 meetings today! One starts at 9am and the other at 7pm (both California time). You can use the Zoom app or phone in to listen – perfect for…
Oh man, when I think about those early days as a mom and how much I was struggling, how much I was in survival-mode, it brings tears to my eyes. And I guess it wasn’t actually just the early days, but intermittently throughout Stevie’s little life. I have always taken the challenges head on, but…
This post is just to answer some specific questions I’ve gotten from readers. So here we go! How did you identify the biggest culprits and decide where to start first? After watching FedUp and talking to friends who were experiencing big changes, I just knew I wanted a piece of that. So I first asked around.…
I’ve had this post ready to go for 2 weeks, but got hung up on what picture to post. So. Here are some apples. Because those are healthy! TA-DAAAA! If you’ve read the backstory and seen the diet plan, now you probably want to know how it all holds up over time. I only started…

This is kind of long, but if you are interested, I want to start at the beginning and tell you guys a little about why I decided to cut back on sugar and start a healthier lifestyle. I have been cheerfully chubby or pleasantly plump most of my adult life. A BMI calculator would have…
Dear Sugar, This is hard for me to say. So I’ll just be very honest with you. It’s time you and I parted ways. Listen, you were good while things lasted. Great, even! I felt like you were what kept me going during the day. I felt like you were my reward for the challenges…
You know, I seem to have a lot to say when it comes to Stevie. Or what we do day to day. Or things I’m struggling with as a mother/person. But today I’m going to share something that I’m just proud of. Gonna pat myself on the back a little bit. Hope ya’ll don’t mind!…
I have been a “runner-in-training” for about 5 years now. Meaning that, basically, I’m not very good. I’m slow and steady sweaty and probably look a little pathetic trotting along. But I love the way I feel afterward. So I keep doing it. I don’t run far, I haven’t lost any weight, and by this…
