Delicious Fruit Shakes

Fruit ShakesThis week I made some tasty fruit shakes.  I’m calling them that because I bought a malt/shake metal mixing cup.  I love this thing!

So simple to make a healthy afternoon snack with just an immersion blender and shake cup.  I’m posting them all on Instagram too. If you aren’t following me there yet, stop on by.

And I have other healthy smoothies posted on the blog like a Heavenly Berry Smoothie, Get Well Green Smoothie, Blueberry Green Smoothie and more.

I LOVE smoothies if you couldn’t tell!  So please share any links to smoothie recipes you might have on your blog.

I Love the Outdoors

Angie and Kevin NewtonThis week’s theme was all about being outdoors.  It’s really been great to get out of the home gym for a change.  When the weather is nice, take advantage of it and change things up.

The next round of Best Body Bootcamp opens TOMORROW, May 20th so be sure to get in on the fun.  I’m still unsure if I’ll be participating this next round due to travel coming up but we’ll see. I love the support and great strength workouts provided, it keeps me on my toes.

Tina has updated the bootcamp and will now have video demos of every workout, new beginner’s workout series, access to a group site for members only, additional 50+ workouts and much more!  You can read reviews and comments from others at the above link.

FitFluential: I’m Featured!

FitFluential FeatureI’m featured on FitFluential today! 

Back in 2011, I applied to become a FitFluential ambassador and haven’t looked back. It’s been such a great experience.  I have made awesome friendships and learned a lot about myself and my business. Today they featured me on their Facebook page. Take a peek.

I have grown and stepped out of a major comfort zone with a nice gentle constant nudge from our ‘momma’ and fearless leader Kelly Olexa.  I am now doing video on a consistent basis.  I was doing it before here and there but now I’m no longer afraid to embrace the challenge of learning all the tech stuff and getting out there and getting a bit more personal.  Most of my videos are not edited so what you see is what you get.

Happy Mother’s Day

Mother's Day plantsToday was a fun day!  Our initial plans were to go walking and have a picnic but the weather here in Chicago was way too chilly for that.  Decided to pick up some plants and flowers at Home Depot instead and plant those.  Aren’t they pretty?  Probably shouldn’t have carried that big plant pot up to the deck because I pulled something in my shoulder/neck.  It was not light.

My plans for vegetable gardening this year when out the door. Way too much going on for me to plan and focus on that. Plus with travel how in the world would I keep all the veggies alive?

Healthy Breakfast Foods

Healthy Breakfast FoodsStart Your Day With a Healthy Breakfast

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. You have been sleeping for several hours overnight so your body needs some fuel to get going for the day.

Breakfast gets the metabolism up and running. Without a meal when you wake, you can remain foggy headed, lack concentration and feel sluggish all day.
