Planning for Grocery Shopping Planning for grocery shopping is a must in my home. If not, I come home with random foods that looked good, foods that aren’t good for me, and I usually end up spending more as well. In order to plan for grocery shopping, I first look to see what I have…
Quinoa Patties Recipe I’ve started to hear more and more about Quinoa. My mom told me about a yummy soup she made and I’ve seen recipes floating around, and have heard just how good it is for you. Quinoa is gluten and wheat free, and is a balanced and complete protein. It is a complete…
Plugging Along Last month, I told you my Vow to Wow with Slim-Fast, and even weighed in and shared my goals. After being on the plan for a month, I’m pretty darn proud as to where I am and it’s only getting better! This was my weigh in as of 9 days ago: that’s 1.6…
Pasta for me is a comfort food, but with added sauces and creams, the caloric value can quickly add up. I’ve got another recipe here from Robin Takes 5: 500 Recipes, 5 Ingredients or Less, 500 Calories or Less, that will satisfy your pasta cravings at only 419 calories per serving. It’s a pretty sensible…
Ok, all of you health nuts that love seafood, this is a combination that I would have NEVER thought to put together, but it’s definitely on my top 5 for salad recipes now. This recipe comes from Robin Takes 5, my new favorite cookbook. It’s not a recipe that my kids would touch since they…
Health Equipment Worth Trusting Over the last 9 months, I invited you along on a journey, my Precor running journey. I believe that the best way to really give a review on a product is to use is over a period of time. Since receiving this treadmill last May, I’ve discussed Tips on Buying a…
When I attended the Slim-Fast Women of Wow event a few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to meet Robin Miller, best selling author and host of Quick Fix Meals on Food Network. She was absolutely adorable and really knows her stuff. She had certain meals there for us to try that would be under…
Slim-Fast Woman of Wow! As I told you a week ago Wednesday, I am a Slim-Fast Woman of Wow! I’m incredibly excited about this opportunity as Slim-Fast is a product I really love and believe in. As a kick off for the Women of Wow program, I was able to attend the Studio Wow event…
I love dessert, it’s one of my favorite ways to indulge. However, because I am rather health conscious about what I put in my mouth, indulgent desserts and healthy don’t always go hand in hand. Indulgent doesn’t have to mean 700 calories for a large piece of cake. About 5 years ago, I did a…
Working Out At Home On days that you don’t find me on the treadmill, I’m most likely cross training. More often than not, I will pop in a home workout DVD and get going. I find that I get some good cross and strength training this way as well as some variety. I have somewhat…
Healthy Homemade Egg Rolls One of my favorite challenges is taking a recipe that I love and finding a healthier alternative. Egg Rolls are a big weakness of mine, but usually they are deep fat fried, filled with calories, or tons of sodium. More often than not, I’ve bought the frozen egg rolls from the…
Simple New Year’s Resolutions There are a lot of us that make New Year’s Resolutions. In fact, I read 3 different places that around 45% of Americans make resolutions each year.

Plus Up Your Day I don’t know about you, but as a mom, it seems like I am constantly doing things for others, especially my kids. While being a mom is the biggest blessing and I love my kids, it’s also extremely exhausting. Sometimes we get so involved that we forget to do things for…

You’ve seen me cut 13 minutes off my half marathon time and improve my stamina. With the new year approaching, and resolutions in sight, now would be a…
Vitamin D I was talking with a friend a few weeks ago, and we got on the subject of vitamins. Vitamins and health are definitely something that are important to me. How you treat your body now will show up later in life. We both agreed that vitamins are the cheapest insurance that you can…
