Camping anyone? Healthy food options on the go....
Finally - I have convinced my husband to join me in my efforts to improve nutrition! We are planning a camping trip soon and I want to get a head start on meal planning prior to the trip so we don't default to the stand by "burgers, dogs & chips". We're in a camper, so we do have refrigeration and a stove, but I would like…

Time for a home gym makeover!
Our gym is small and has accumulated more equipment over time. Some we use regularly…some are dust collectors. This room hasn’t been touched as far as paint, and filtering in quite a while because it’s such a hassle to move everything out. I think it would be more inviting if it were brighter and neater. Obviously…

It's here....Standard Time!
I have no problem staying active during daylight savings time. I leave for work at 6am and get home around 4:30. During DLS, I have all evening to do yard work, walk the dogs, etc. Standard time is much different...I still work the same hours, but I have an hour or less of daylight once I get home. It is a constant battle…

Fitbit Versa VS Ionic....GO!
I'm planning to upgrade my Charge2 soon and I'm trying to decide between the Versa and the Ionic. I have read online reviews and comparisons of both. I'm interested in some "real life" thoughts. Which do you have? What do you love? What do you hate?

Dinner out with hubby
Mike and I tried a new place tonight and as much as I was looking forward to it, I was dreading the calories I would most likely consume. It isn't a chain, so I didn't have the benefit of looking up the detrimental calorie count before hand. Turns out, it was easy to be reasonably good. I had a blackened shrimp wrap with…

Our team weighed in Monday Jan 21 for a state wide weight loss competition. The competition goal is for each team member (4 people per team) to lose 10lbs in 10 weeks. My ultimate goal is more than 10, but I'll take the fun competition and team mate encouragement to help me along the way. I have logged apx 35 miles on our…
