With the weather getting nice again (Omaha has had some serious ups and downs this winter!) I’ve been itching to spend time outside. Growing up I spent a lot of summers at the seashore where cruiser bikes were considered a major form of transportation. While I’m a long way from the shore now, I thought… [Read More]
3 things I’ve gained losing 30 pounds
It’s hard to believe how fast time flies, but this past May I started Jenny Craig. I was 195 pounds at my first weigh in. While that was pretty heavy for me, it was not my heaviest. The month earlier I weighed in at 199 pounds. I remember looking at the scale in shock when… [Read More]
Jenny Craig – 6 Week Update
I was provided a free trial Jenny Craig program and meals. However, the opinions expressed are entirely my own. Wow, I can’t believe I just finished up my sixth week on the Jenny Craig program! (Need a little backstory? Here’s my getting started story.) It’s weird in that I feel like no time has passed… [Read More]
A(nother) Post About My Weight
I was provided a free trial Jenny Craig program and meals. However, the opinions expressed are entirely my own. Next month marks three years since our big move to Omaha. Which, if you’ve been following my blog since then, also marks the start of my weight struggles. I’ve shared these struggles in multiple posts on… [Read More]
Protein Packed Workout Snacks
Lately I’ve been challenging myself to stay late at work to hit up the gym before heading home. I’m already there, I can skip rush hour traffic, and I have access to a trainer and state of the art facilities. I mean why wouldn’t I do that, right? The only thing that can be difficult… [Read More]
The Weekly Sweat
It’s a new week! Time to look ahead and start fresh! Here’s my check-in for the week. Progress I’m pretty sure I’ve had backwards progress in the last two weeks. From traveling, to having family in town, I have been doing so much eating and way less moving than I would like to. I’m not allowing… [Read More]
The Weekly Sweat
I’ve been wanting to add Sunday posts to my editorial calendar for a while now, but I’ve been unsure what to do. Have you been noticing my fitness tab has been gathering dust lately? Yeah, me too! I want to change that, and way more importantly change my health. Lately I’ve been getting winded going up a few… [Read More]
Sweat, Cycle & Soul
This past month I had the awesome opportunity to participate in a blogger fitness challenge. I was offered a one month unlimited class pass to Sweat, Cycle & Soul and encouraged to come at least three times a week. The challenge was designed to really get to know the studio, the different types of classes they… [Read More]
An App I’m Loving Lately: RockMyRun
Memorial Day weekend was pretty washed out here in Omaha. The weather was gray and rainy and just all around blah. And then, out of nowhere on Monday the clouds parted and the sun came out and it was an absolutely beautiful day. When I looked outside and saw the unexpectedly gorgeous weather, I told… [Read More]
Why I Run
It’s crazy to me that I’ve been running for nearly three years now. I started running just as a way to get some exercise and try something new. I wasn’t naturally fast or able to run long distances right off the bat. I just loved how consistently putting in the work yielded consistent results. I… [Read More]
A Closer Look at NOW Foods
Last week I had a pretty incredible opportunity. I was invited to the NOW Foods headquarters outside of Chicago to meet with company executives and learn more about the company and their products. I’ve purchased hemp hearts and snack foods from NOW Foods before and knew I liked them, but that was the extent of my knowledge…. [Read More]
