Well, this is a difficult one. I adore my rebounder, but I thrive on variety! Even on the rebounder, I simply cannot just jump for thirty minutes. I run. I do Tabata. I jump with a ball, without a ball, with a band, without a band…I do jumping jacks. I just on one foot. Variety is key. As far as […]

  I will never forget taking this picture of a mountain I used to take for granted when growing up. In Washington State, Mt. Rainier is one of those sights that just stops you in your tracks. I grew up seeing the mountain from the second story window in our house, but trees often obscured it. Now, on a clear […]

I’ve covered this to a degree, but I want to list a few things I regularly use, which some may not know. A rebounder is the number one workout must-have! This thing is impressive, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! You will feel better, look better, and it is the perfect workout item for you and your family! While […]

I will admit that exercise and I were not always a match made in heaven. To be perfectly honest, I was not too fond of P.E. when I was growing up. No matter how hard I tried, it was never good enough. Sports did not come easily to me, and I got to the point where I quit trying. Yes, […]

It’s my favorite thing to do.   But I do believe there are times in my life when my smile is bigger and bolder.   Whether in high school… …at a Supernatural Convention in response to a Barbara Niven red-lipstick challenge (this was featured on Home & Family back in the day because I did rise to […]

You are looking at Vegan Dark Chocolate Almond Butter […]

Hydration is essential to me and has been for years. I challenged myself years ago to drink at least eight glasses a day, and now I drink at least that if not more. This is one of the fun water bottles I use for hydration, but I also just use a regular glass from the kitchen. I do add some […]

If there’s one area where much of my focus goes, it’s my abs! I’ve not ever been delighted with the way my core looks, but in the past few months, I must say that there’s been a vast improvement. My stomach is much flatter than it once was. And in time, I do believe that will only improve. This month, […]

I have quite the vitamin/supplements regimen! Here is a photo of what I take every day. However, I take these too…

I love getting to share with you the tools I use to track my fitness and nutrition! Many long moons ago, when I first lost my fifty pounds, I used a website called SparkPeople. I used their nutrition and fitness trackers. I even downloaded their app to my phone back in the day. It worked well, and I was happy […]
