The following post is sponsored by FitFluential LLC on behalf of VitaFusion. I have a confession… I’m really bad about taking a multivitamin every day. I can’t even begin to tell you how many times I’ve gone on a vitamin kick only to fall off the wagon. I’ll do my research, buy a number of…
Yesterday morning I attended my employer’s annual health screening. It a wonderful benefit, and although I do it almost every year, I always dread it! I dread it because I know that most of my numbers are considered unhealthy and it’s always hard having someone who doesn’t know you tell you that you’re obese and…
I think it’s safe to say that it’s officially spring!! Although I don’t mind the winter, after 3-4 months of it, I’m ready for the warmer weather. I think the transition into the spring is a really important one, both for your body and for your mind. I’ve seen myself react two ways to the…
The summer is officially here and boy did she bring some heat with her! Today is suppose to be a scoreture but I am really excited that it is now officially summer. Growing up I hated the summer. The summer meant hot weather, sweating profusely, and wearing less clothes, aka revealing more of my body…
A few weeks ago while at the doctor’s office, I had a wonderful conversation with my doctor about the balance between pain and pleasure. (source) In everything we do, my doctor shared, we are in a constant battle to find the balance between pain and pleasure. The balance is different for every person, which is…
I’ll never forget the 1996 Olympics. I was 12 years old, fascinated with sports, excited about the Olympics being in Atlanta, and just about obsessed with gymnastics. This still gives me chills… I even got the 1996 Olympics VHS tape for Christmas that year… oh yeah, like I said I was kinda obsessed. The Olympics…
The past 4 weeks have been wonderful. I love the Jillian Michaels Body Revolution program and even if I had to shift a workout to a different time or day, I did every workout and more! Together with my dear friend Kristyn, I have jumped, pushed, and lifted my way into Phase 2. Drum roll…
As I shared yesterday, I gained 2.4 pounds last week. Womp womp! Do I have excuses and reasons for gaining weight? You betcha, but the reality is I just haven’t figured my diet out yet. (source) Over the past year, I’ve been all over the place with my diet… Joined Weight Watchers – April 17,…
I am so excited to share that Coffee Cake and Cardio was nominated for “Best Weight Loss Blog” by Fitness Magazine! It would mean the world to me if y’all would take a minute to vote for Coffee Cake and Cardio. It’ll only take a few moments. In other exciting news, I submitted my Master’s…
Although we may not think about it, staying hydrated during the winter months can be difficult. Instead of reaching for an ice cold glass of water, many of us are reaching for a hot cup of coffee or hot chocolate… or nothing at all. Thankfully, Molly Kimball RD, spokesperson for Crystal Light Pure sent me…
Last night I made by way to Weight Watchers after work, feeling good about the week I had just finished. I worked really hard last Wednesday-Friday, counting my points daily. I also followed my workout plan, running Wednesday morning, going to kickboxing Thursday night, and running again Friday morning. Although Neal and I went to…
I have a love/hate relationship with numbers! Before I go on my rant, I have a few positive things to share. First off, we have TWO Clif Bar giveaway winners! Congratulations to Paula and Jocelyn! Please let us know what you think of the season Clif Bar flavors! My second positive thing to share is…
“Why is weight loss so tough?”, I thought to myself this past weekend. Since August I have gained 12.4 pounds, which is CRAZY to me. I struggled with binge eating back in August, but since then I’ve really done a good job of controlling my portions and sticking to my weekly plan. In addition, Neal…
Wednesday wasn’t looking too hot as of 8AM this morning. Last night I fell asleep on the couch while watching It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia season 6 and woke up a little before 3AM with too much on the brain. I didn’t fall back asleep until 4:30AM, which made getting up at 6AM a total…
It’s Tuesday, which means it’s Biggest Loser night! I haven’t forgotten about my Biggest Loser weigh-ins (week 1 and week 2 recap), but I still need to buy a new scale. My scale at home is jacked. No excuses but I’ll totally update y’all on my weight soon! Today I continued my Get-in-Shape challenge and…
