GUTS! Do you refresh them? HAHA! I’M SO CLEVER— remember that show GUTS! DO YOU HAVE THEM? Yep, that’s what I based the title of this blog off of. Sometimes, ya know, you just need to crack yourself up in order to proceed on with your day a little bit lighter…. Speaking of lighter!  How are you feeling today? I’m feeling pretty gross because I’ve been pretty much allowing myself to eat whatever and whenever I want- pizza, wings, chocolate covered pretzels, a whole jar of “healthy trail mix” in one sitting, half a bag of sweet potato chips in 5 minutes… You know! Anything goes! I also have been skipping out on my favorite gut detox- hot water with lemon and honey in the morning and I can tell- and (GASP) I missed two days last week of my shake. You guys, pretty much, the house is burning down over here and I have no way of putting it out- or do I?! I DO! IT’S CALLED… THE THREE DAY REFRESH! What is the THREE DAY REFRESH!  It’s a three day “detoxing” ...

Do you know what it means to eat a frog? That’s a little saying I’ve learned in the past year- it means to do the one thing that you know you SHOULD do, but you avoid doing for some reason. This blog- it’s my frog. I know I should do it, but I ALWAYS put it off until it’s been WAY TOO LONG… & then I have a million things I SHOULD blog about, but I can’t figure out which topic to cover first… & so then, I don’t write a blog at all! Why do I avoid writing this blog so muhc?! I sat down tonight and truly thought about it. I enjoy writing, a lot. I enjoy sharing stories. I enjoy inspiring… so, why do I constantly “forget” about this little thing?   Because, I have a hard time believe anybody cares.  Guess what? I feel this way a bout quite a few aspects of my life. I know it is completely NOT TRUE, but I think it truly is my weakness- feeling small, not worthy, not important enough to make a difference.  Have you ever felt that way? I’m sure the answe...

I'm sure by now, you've seen my countless posts. Countless videos. Countless ways for you to donate to LLS. Maybe you understand why this is so important to me, maybe you have your own connection, maybe you have NO IDEA why this is such a "big thing" & why I'm so passionate about it. (I use the words passion & obsession interchangeably, haha!)  So, I'm going to take this time to blog and explain. Share some stories. Fill you in on this huge part of my heart.... I have been given the opportunity of a lifetime to help others. Each year The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) launches its Man & Woman of the Year fundraising campaign, and I was honored to join this year’s efforts as the 2015 Woman of the year Campaign Manager for Team Fight for Joy.  I am writing today to ask for your support of LLS’s mission in its efforts to find cures for blood cancers and to assist patients and families as they battle this disease. From February 26, ...

Hey there!  So this blog is all about the 21 Day Fix & the 21 Day Fix EXTREME-- because it's the hot topic of conversation these days & I'm truly excited for this group to get underway!  What is the difference between the two? 21 Day Fix: -for all levels of fitness. There is a great modifier you can follow if you are just starting out! -the meal plan allows for a little more wiggle room (like wine!) but really teaches you the concept of clean eating, portion control, & making sure you get the right amounts of different kids of foods each day! 21 Day Fix EXTREME: -for the more ADVANCED in fitness-- all workouts include weights & a modifier -stricter meal plan (but, you can always use the original meal plan & kick up your workouts!) -In listening to Autumn talk about this program, she explained that the workouts aren't just kicked up one notch, but more like 7. I got to preview two of the workouts, and I would definitely agree! I will be runn...

OK, so if you know anything about the 21 day fix, you know it comes with these itty bitty containers. Ones that I would totally have kept my Barbie shoes & clothes in, or maybe even my American Girl Doll, Felicity's accessories. (Instead, I kept all that stuff in old cigar boxes of my Dad's... they're still in there.. yes, all Felicity's belongings smell like an old man... I digress...) & if you're like me, you're all like "NO. WAY." There is no way I can eat from those containers and get enough food... it's just not possible. My excuse for never following the fix the whole way through is that I eat clean & I'm super active, so WHY limit myself to some stupid containers. I know what I'm doing.. psssh... Autumn who? Truth. I'M TERRIFIED I'M GOING TO FAIL. What if I'm terrible at figuring out a meal plan for the 21 day fix? What if I mess it all up and lead my challengers in the wrong direction? WHAT IF I LIKE IT? ...

If you're alive and have a Facebook, I'm sure you were aware that in Pittsburgh, this weekend was a huge deal for individuals involved in this thing called.. Beachbody. It surely was a weekend I will not likely forget.  How big is Dave's smile? fun at Mel's party! On Friday, the CEO of the company, Carl Daikler, & 21 Day Fix creator, Autumn Calabrese came to represent corporate to honor top coach of 2014, Melanie Mitro. The event was huge-- 1,000 people all there for the same reasons, with different stories, with different journeys. We got to hear 3 amazing transformation stories that were the biggest reminder of why I should never take a day for granted.  We got to workout with Autumn live! She gave us a little sneak peek at what 21 Day Fix EXTREME will be like coming out February 2nd! We did a "shakeology toast" & while the theme was a "white out" the KNOCKOUT BRIGADE rocked our purple for our fearless leader, Katy Ursta.  ...

Keeping Dave accountable to getting that shake in! It's Monday. It's snowing. It's freezing outside. I took Marley outside & the wind actually hurt my bones.... the ONLY thing on my mind is snuggling up with a cup of dark chocolate raspberry coffee & watching Netflix for the next 12 hours. But, this is the real world I live in, and that is definitely not an option. I check my phone and I have 14 notifications.... 10 of them are from challengers checking into challenge groups informing me that, before I even rolled over in bed this morning, they already got their workout in. Something in me shifts & the next thing I know, I'm chugging some E&E and down to the gym I'm headed to get my 30 minutes of total ME time, a good sweat going, & building the foundation for a healthy, happy, and strong year. (the other 4 notifications are of adorable pictures of dogs making some little boy named Anthony's battle with leukemia a little bit easier.... ...
