Family. Photography. Fitness.

As I have talked about before, I am still trying to get towards vegan. For the most part, I am pretty much vegetarian. Not too far from Vegan either. I don't eat meat or animals dairy products.. I do still however struggle with eggs. Working on it though! With working on that, that also means I have to come up with new meatless recipes to try! We had bought morning star spicy black bean burger before and loved it!  The problem with that is 1. They aren't clean, full of artificial stuff. 2. They're expensive and you only get 4 in a box! So, I went hunting for a recipe to make my own! These were so good!! Husband approved and kid approved! Savannah came down stairs while I was cooking and said "mm mommy, something sure smells good!" Lol and they did! Amazing! Very filling also and, only about 100 calories per patty! What you'll need: Can of black beans- drained Corn (corn you make yourself preferable but, I only had canned on hand) 1/2

Does anybody else have a hard time eating in the summer time? Something about the heat and humidity kills my appetite! So, liquids tend to be my regular meal time in the summers. Shakeology, smoothies and my born again love of juicing! While juicing can be a huge pain between Prep and cleaning the juicer constantly it is still really refreshing in the summer time! So, what I started doing for my own little 3 day cleanse/reboot was: 3 raw juices a day  1 shakeology with water  Between shakeology and juice, I am unstoppable! My energy is through the roof and my body just feels good. So good I have been pushing hard with my 21 day fix workouts! I planned on doing les mills combat but, I got hooked on the definition I was getting with the 21 day fix I decided to keep with it!  Week one- I lost 4 lbs!! Love that fix! Which that put me at the rest of my vacation weight lost!  One of the greatest things I have learned about working out at home is who

Its no secret that staying on track on Vacation is hard!! Well, maybe just for me! Lol I am human so it happens! That's what I love about coaching, it's not about perfection. It's about progress! So, what did I do to lose the vacation weight just as fast as I gained it? None other than the shakeology 3 day cleanse!  I had just changed up my shakeology flavor to the new vegan chocolate flavor! So, I was pretty pumped to give it a go!  In 3 days I lost 5.8lbs! Lost that vacation bloat, regained my energy and felt amazing!! I felt so good that I was able to to my workouts also! I plan try the brand new shakeology 3 day refresh very soon too! I have been looking forward to it since I heard it was getting released!! 

We came back from TN on a Friday night and early the next morning was super Saturday. While I was exhausted from being in the car all day I just couldn't miss super Saturday! After all, my team beachbody business is what paid for our vacation in the first place!! We had a nice meet and greet, shakeology bar, so much amazing motivational information and even a group PiYo workout! It was so worth making it to! PiYo, the workout I have been waiting for! I was dropping sweat and I never once jumped or anything. I actually thought to myself "this doesn't seem too hard" and before I knew it I was dripping sweat and the next day... Hello soreness!!! If you have been in the fence about it, don't be! Jump off that fence and jump over here to get your PiYo!! I cannot wait until our next super Saturday! Some of the pictures in the collage are not from super Saturday but, as I said I've lost all my photos on phone so I had to dig up what I had posted

What can I say about vacation?! In a word, amazing! Everyone loves going on vacation. It's a nice break from the every day and getting to do something fun with the ones you love. It's win no matter how you slice it! As I said in my previous, thanks to a phone malfunction (the me forgetting my dslr at home) I have no pictures from the trip :-/ I do however, have the memories and a couple pictures I posted on Facebook! We went to gatlinburg/pigeon forge TN for our vacation. 3 main reasons 1, tons of family fun stuff to do.  2, it's where we got married so it's sentimental to us. 3, the mountains are stunning. Lol the only down sound, car sickness 😳 thankfully, my husband was prepared and had my motion sickness pills ready to go! Haha We spent a lot of time at the hotel pool. Savannah is such a little mermaid she would have stayed in the pool the entire vacation and would have been just as happy! Lol in fact, just staying at the hot

So, I had so much to blog about. Our family vacation, super Saturday with other amazing local coaches, new recipes and all kinds of fun stuff.  Well, I can still blog about it all but there won't be any pictures! My phone had a software update that Messed up my phone. Basically, my phone had to be factory reset which means all of those lovely pictures full of great memories were deleted and I will never get then back 😩 guess I will just have to go back on vacation to take more pictures lol darn! I may have cried a little. So, moral of the story folks... Back up your phones if you have an iPhone!  Technology isn't always my friend.
