I will admit that it has been hard this week to get in a good workout. Some weeks are just like that, but it is important to me to get back up the next day and try again. It may be 10 minutes one day and then a full run or actual HIIT workout or maybe just Pilates in my bedroom but I did it. I got out there. I was active. I took the time for myself to stay strong. To me, it keeps me sane and makes me a better wife and mother. I'm starting something new with some Quick Fit Tips! Check it out and I hope you like them!

Falling Into Good Things
I'm sorry. I couldn't resist that horribly cheesy title. I'm reveling in the fall weather from my sick bed. Or at least what looks like gorgeous fall weather from the open windows near my sick bed.

The Booty Fixer
Part of being a parent, to me, is being healthy. Healthy in body and mind, as much as you can be. I won't say it is easy but it is definitely worth it. The strength, energy, stamina and ability to lug kids and groceries and get a better nights sleep all because I exercise on a regular basis makes me feel a thousand times saner and balanced.
