Need some fitness inspiration? Have you checked out the cute new Nike 5.0 Free Runs at Nordstrom Lately? When planning my workout ensemble, I always start with my feet. Having the perfect running shoe, like the Nike Free Runs 5.0, makes or breaks your workout and your outfit. I love the new 5.0 version for so many reasons! They now have a new elastic technology around the laces, that make it so you can pull your laces to mold around your foot upon tying them. Also have you seen the new colors? I want them all!  I always purchase my Nike’s at Nordstrom because they always have the latest colors and the best selection.

Enjoy your run & your weekend!

Mermaids Don’t Skateboard

This post was inspired by a fun book series I used to read growing up. I recently went to my parents home for Easter and looked at some of my old favorite book series. I loved all the adventure Baily School Kids books. If you haven’t read them I highly recommend them. I can’t wait to read them to my kids. They have the funnest titles. Like Vampire don’t wear Polka Dots, Zombies don’t play Soccer, Angels don’t know Karate ect. So if I were a Baily School Book I would be Mermaids don’t Skateboard.

Drink Yourself Skinny!

Since having a baby I have been asked many times how I lost the baby weight, especially how I was able to do it quickly.  So, I thought I would share my secret on the Blog today.
Since graduating from BYU with a degree in Health Education, as well as having a minor in P.E./ Coaching,  nutrition, exercise and an active lifestyle have been essential to my physical well being.

At times I am asked, “What diet are you on?”  I must admit, I stare blankly at them as I try to come up with some easy answer.  The truth is, I have found that what works best for me is to drink plenty of water and incorporate protein shakes and smaller healthy meals.  I know they say breakfast is the most important meal.  This is why I hydrate immediately after waking up, then follow the glasses of water with a protein shake mixed in my Blender Bottle.  I feel this give me more energy and reduces my need for unnecessary sugars.   My first solids of the day are around noon, or later

I am not sure if this exact routine will fit everyone, however, I have found that it works well for me and I feel less lethargic in the mornings and throughout my day.
