About Me

Hello & Welcome...I am so excited you found my blog of little tidbits of info and experiences that provide BIG motivation & inspiration!!

I am Ashley Tabb and I am a mom of two precious princesses, Courtney and Caroline, and a wife to a supportive husband, Matt. We live in Lexington Kentucky and love sports...especially UK basketball.  Throughout my blog I will share stories of my fitness journey, family adventures (and sometimes challenges), career info and favorite shopping finds!!

I have always loved exercising (some may think that is a little crazy) and actually did home videos (on VHS) when I was in middle school and high school.

In college I was the front desk greeter at a large local gym and spent several hours a week in the gym working out and working.  I am an outgoing, energetic southern girl and love meeting people!!

After graduating with a Marketing degree from UK, I began working full-time, got married and then got too busy to make it to the gym due to my kids and other responsibilities.  In May 2014 a high school friend posted her success pictures and I messaged her asking what she did to achieve such great results.

After looking into Team Beachbody and 21 Day Fix, I decided to give it a try.  Six months later I achieved my weigh loss goal by working out each morning at 5am in my basement and receiving accountability and motivation through Challenge Groups.

I signed up to be a Team Beachbody coach for the discount, but after friends and family starting asking questions about my results I decided to start my first Challenge Group to "Maintain Don't Gain" during the holidays.

I continued working out with 21 Day Fix during the holidays, but decided to switch to InsanityMax30 at the beginning of 2015. I found 21 Day Fix was a fabulous introduction back into home workouts and built me up to complete the full 30 minutes of InsanityMax30.

In February, 21 Day Fix Extreme launched and I switched to it because I love the combination of cardio and lifting.  I was AMAZED at the results from 21DF Extreme, but after my vacation, I returned to 21 Day Fix.

Since 2015 I have tried various workout programs through Beachbody On Demand including CIZE, 80 Day Obsession, Barre Blend, Morning Meltdown 100 and more.  I love the variety of home workouts offered by Beachbody and the availability through my iPad, iPhone and TV device allow me to workout anywhere, anytime. 


I enjoy sharing my experiences and knowledge to help others with their health & fitness goals!  I would love for you to subscribe to my blog & connect with me on social media...I post regularly on Facebook and Instagram.

Also, be sure to sign up for a FREE TeamBeachbody account, with me as your coach for information about Beachbody products, recipes and fitness tips!!  You can upgrade this account to a Club Membership trial and try On Demand at no cost for 14 days!!

Shakeology No Bake Cookies

Over the weekend, I made Shakeology No Bake Cookies (or balls). I prefer to make these as balls rather than flattening them as cookies.  I've made them with both Chocolate and Vanilla Shakeology and both are good.  Using the Vanilla Shakeology actually creates Peanut Butter Balls...you don't really notice the vanilla...it just mixes in.  My girls and husband prefer the Peanut Butter Balls, but when I am craving chocolate...this is a great option!  The girls love helping with this recipe and it's super easy! Ingredients:  1 cup Chocolate or Vanilla Shakeology 1 cup all-natural peanut butter 1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats 1/2 cup raw honey How to Make:  Combine ingredients into a medium bowl, mix well with rubber spatula or by hand. Roll mixture into balls about 1 inch in size. Put into container. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours. Enjoy cold. If you are interested in more healthy eating or Shakeology recipes or are looking for fitness support...create

Home Workouts brought my Pre-Baby Body & Confidence Back

After having my two girls, I struggled with getting to the gym as its daycare hours didn’t work around my schedule.  The best day for me was Saturday morning and thenI had to gather my iPad, earbuds, towel, diapers, wipes and two girls.  By the time we were buckled into the car, 30 minutes later, someone had to go to the bathroom.  Then once we got to the gym, I did an hour of cardio while watching Mad Men and walked around the equipment trying to recall sessions with a personal trainer years ago.  Then a week later, we did it all over again and during the week, I walked outside a few nights a week.  My eating habits were somewhat healthy, but I finished my daughter’s mac and cheese and nibbled on her pretzels and goldfish during snack time. As a result, I didn't lose weight, I was tired and I was somewhat depressed as I missed the time and luxury of going to the gym before they were born. Then a friend posted her results from 21 Day Fix and I asked her a few questions th

Almond Joy candy vs. wonder whip

As Halloween approaches, candy options are more and more tempting.  Ok, maybe candy is tempting all year around!!  You want to think those little pieces of chocolate won't affect your weight goals, but they can.  Especially when it's hard to just eat one or two.  Personally, I would much rather have several bites of dessert than just one, so these wonder whip solutions are an amazing alternative to a few pieces of candy!! They are much more filling and satisfying!!  Whip up a bowl today and give your sweet tooth what it wants!!   Thanks to Ilana Muhlstein for sharing this recipe and her registered dietitian knowledge through the 2B Mindset Nutrition program and certified mentorship training!  B oth the Almond Joy candy and wonder whip have 235 calories, but you get a WHOLE cup with the whip rather than just two bites!!  Ingredients:  1 Cup 0-2% Plain Greek Yogurt 1 TBSP unsweetened Shredded Coconut 1 TBSP Cocoa Nibs 2 tsp. cocoa powder
