My fav $10 leggings from H&M; covered in holes now after all these years but still my all-time fav!!
Don’t worry, I don’t wear them in public! (But evidently I will post them in public )

It’s In The Not Knowing That We Get Stuck
True, right?!
…Because what if you act on it & you fail?! The path to success involves failures & mistakes.. In fitness & in business. You will probably suck at first & wanna quit at times! You need to expect that as “experience” & be ok with that. My own personal successes are a direct result of my own personal DAILY failures. Being afraid to fail is perfectly ok, but NOT taking baby steps THRU the fear is not ok… If u want to live your life by design.
Stuffed Hard boiled Eggs
5 minutes to make, 20 minutes to get them to look pretty for you
Plz tell me they look pretty?!
This was my lil awesome snack! Hard boiled egg, remove the yolk & fill with Chunky Guacamole made by Earl’s (got it from Whole Foods ) then top with the yolk you removed & if you prefer, some Pink Himalayan Salt & pepper. Approx. 200 calories & nutrient-packed!
Perfection
Mind over Matter
When you lift, how many sets do you do? How many reps do you normally do?
When you start to feel like you can’t do another rep, pump out 3-4 more controlled reps with your best form.. even after you’ve hit the # of reps the video does!
You have to hit that point of muscle failure to make progress, not just fatigue.
Grilled Chicken Nachos
Yum or yuk?!
We bought these sprouted quinoa & sprouted chia, Sweet Potato Chips at #WholeFoods (made by “Simply Sprouted Way Better Snacks”) and made Grilled Chicken Nachos with them!!
1 serving of chips, Grilled Chicken, Horizon organic cheddar cheese, tomatoes, 1/4 avocado and a dollop of non-fat plain Greek Yogurt pretending to be sour cream
Random Non Fitness Tip
Return Facebook messages, texts, emails, write blog & fb posts..all from your smart phone using your voice to text feature – the little microphone on your phone’s keyboard -to type what you’re saying! Are you using this feature??? Is it only for iPhones?
It saves me SO much time! My sis Chalene Johnson gave me the tip a long time ago!
Yes, you have to proof it to make sure it typed your words properly () but it’s so much faster than typing it out on your phone! You can even say words at the end of sentences like “exclamation point” or “question mark” ..and you can even say “smiley” and it will insert a smiley face!
Maybe it’s just me, but I sometimes get overwhelmed with the number of texts, Fb messages and emails I need to return!
I love using apps like Hey Tell and Voxer too but not everyone has those apps!
p.s. And find a spot behind a deserted building to return your messages! Obviously this picture is staged!
Do you prefer Date Night or Date Day?!
I had a good Date day! I think I prefer day dates. About once a month, we take the day for a road trip to shop our fav stores in MI (because they’re not here in Toledo). Wholefoods, TraderJoes and Lululemon. And yes, OF COURSE, we bought more than 1 bag of groceries from WholeFoods!
Balanced Pushing
Are results really 80% nutrition, 20% exercise? What do you think??Idk the exact % but there’s no question nutrition is a huge factor.
But that said…
When you push yourself physically to do what your brain says you don’t have the time or energy to do, you start valuing what you CAN become as a person, with hard work.
When you achieve something physically, you’ve also just achieved something mentally.
It’s extremely empowering.
Becoming fit doesn’t require that you beat up your body, I think we all know that by now. Just eating right & moderate exercise daily can lead to a healthy life.
BUT.. accomplishing something physically *challenging* puts you in a positive frame of mind.
And when you’re in a positive frame of mind, you handle stress better, you sleep better, you like and respect your body better, you like other PEOPLE better, and you EAT better
So… I’m not so sure exercise is only 20% of the full equation
