Check out the video to hear what I have learned from UPF nutrition about eating out and on the go. I am not perfect with my nutrition, but in the last six years I have learned what best fuels my body. I lost the last 15 pounds after having my girls using this nutrition style and have maintained my results through healthy eating habits and exercise. Tips for eating out & on the go: 1. Drink water before you go, take water with you in the car and order water when you sit down at a restaurant. 2. Check the menu before you leave and decide what you want to order. If there are no veggies on the menu eat a salad or another veggie as a snack at home. 3. Plan in advance. If you know early in the week or at the beginning of the day, adjust your containers so you have the right ones at the end of the day to use at the restaurant. Want to learn more healthy habits tips?

Does your plate look like a rainbow at each meal? When you sit down at the table, do you have green veggies, yellow carbohydrates and red or white proteins? It's important to eat from the various food groups throughout the day to fuel your body with foods rich with vitamins and nutrients. The nutrition program I follow provides a guideline of how many servings of each food group to eat based on an adult's goal to lose or maintain weight. It also provides a guideline for kids based on their gender, age and weekly activity level. Figuring out the amount of each food group to eat daily is the first step.  Then you need to meal plan and stick with it through tracking to ensure you follow the plan. It's a simple plan but following through can be tough.  That's why we talk about our food and check in daily in the June Fam Fit group . Learning to eat healthier with a group of friends by sharing recipes and ideas is easier than figuring everything out on your ow

Growing up, we ate a lot chicken. Chicken and rice. Chicken and salsa. Chicken casserole. I wasn't sure why we ate so much chicken. I thought it was just because my mom was on a Weight Watchers diet.  She would put the chicken in the oven and then go on a walk.  I always wanted to tag along on my bike. Now I understand. Chicken is quick and easy. Chicken is inexpensive. Chicken can be healthy. Now as a mom I also understand, my mom wanted to on on those walks alone...to have some peace and quiet time!

You've got to try this!! It's ok if you don't know much or anything about boxing.  Neither do I. I did complete Core de Force, a martial arts inspired program and kickboxing workouts. However, I know nothing about boxing and yet I've already finished the first two weeks of 10 Rounds and while it wasn't perfect, I would say "I nailed it."  What is 10 Rounds™?  10 Rounds is a boxing program that helps torch fat, melt inches off your waistline, and get lean & mean in just 6 weeks. Super Trainer Joel Freeman leads powerful punching combinations and fast footwork that will result in shocking results. 10 Rounds is built around simple, precise, and effective training principles that emphasize technique, repetition, and intensity to maximize your cardio burn and provide an incredible total body workout. Each week, includes 3 days of boxing training and 2 days of weight lifting workouts that will get you sweaty, shredded, and cut. What makes it

Growing up this was one of my favorite meals and it is now one my my girls and husband’s favorites too. It’s so simple and while not completely clean eating, it is a healthy family friendly dinner choice!   First preheat the oven to 425 or the temp instructed on the pizza crust package. Then cook a pound of meat on the stove and add in some frozen chopped onions and then abou 1/2 a cup of pizza sauce. Spray a casserole dish and then line it with pizza crust, I used the Kroger brand.  Pour the meat over the crust and add your favorite topping. I put only turkey pepperoni on one side for Caroline. Courtney likes olives so I covered half with them and also added mushroom pieces to Matt and my side.  Cook the casserole for all but 4 minutes of the time on the crust instructions. Then add cheese and cook the remaining 4 minutes or until the cheese is melted and crust has a few brown spots.  Serve a portion with salad or fruit and enjoy! 

I won’t lie. This is Hard.  Working from home.  Homeschooling.  Training a puppy.  Being a mom.  Being a wife.  Staying home everyday.  Not eating out.  Meal planning.  Cooking. It is stressful but thankfully I have amazing help and support.  I think the support is most important.  Having friend to talk with and share concerns and ideas.  Meeting online through conference calls and FaceTime.  Hearing and reading that others are struggling too and learning how they handle the change makes it better!  My girls are doing amazing playing together and completing homework. Yes they get tired of one another and need space but overall they get along, play and are making fun videos!  Caroline completes most of her homework sheets independently and Courtney is there to help her or she comes and asks mee. Others she completes too fast and just as I get into a task, she knocks at the office door and asks me to check her work. We created a schedule and it has really helped

Commit to your fitness goals Year after year, it happens...   It's the middle of January, you made goals but don't know what to do or need a little extra help to stay committed or kick it up a notch! With that said, this is something that I'm TOTALLY EXCITED about and think you will be too! I am co-hosting a February FIT BET with a few fellow friends/coaches.  This FIT BET challenge is along the lines of a Biggest Loser group but everyone has the chance to earn a payout for moving toward their health & fitness goals!  Here's how it works: 1. Commit to a Beachbody fitness or nutrition plan (message me if you need access) 2. Commit to Shakeology as a daily meal or snack or incorporate Energize and Recover into your daily workout routine.  These tools have been used by the coaches in the group and have proven to create success.   Does this sound like what you need to go all in? Did I mention the cash prizes?!?! The group runs from Feb 1-29, with a 5 day prep sta

Are you doing it all or delegating tasks to your kids? If you are doing it all, you are spending the equivalent of a full day’s paid work each week getting them ready and off to school.  Seriously, I read this in this article and there is a study to prove it. While I know there are some things we just can’t delegate like signing permission slip, there are other things we can!  Teach your kids to make their own breakfast. Courtney started making her breakfast in 4th grade (if not before) and also makes Caroline’s now!  I remember making my breakfast when I was her age too! Have your kids help or completely pack their own lunch. Caroline started helping with her lunch a few years ago in preschool and even helps with prepping fruit each week!  Courtney has been packing her own lunch for a few years now.  Pick out clothes at the beginning of the week, for the whole week! Caroline has a divider in her closet for 5 days of clothes.  We look at the forecast for the week and she helps pick o
