As some of you know, my husband and I invited Ray’s mom into our home to stay for 2 weeks. I would like to share our experience with you in hopes that it will encourage you to never give up on yourself and realize how important a healthy lifestyle really is.   My mom in law was diagnosed with fibromialgia a few weeks ago on top of other health issues...

My husband Ray, does a lot of traveling throughout the day. Sometimes he’s in the car for 12 hours a day. Before he started P90X, he never really cared about what he ate. He would buy lunch on the road everyday. It didn’t matter if it was at a fast food restaurant or a few things at a near by gas station, whatever did the job was good enough. Well,...

When I first started caring about what was going into my body, one of the most confusing things to me was counting calories. I didn’t have a clue what I was doing or how many I was supposed to take in. I remember looking at labels and getting frustrated and intimidated to the point where I would give up all together and just guess my calorie intake! I...

I’m always telling people not to eat late at night, but I’d like to be a little more clear on what I mean. A small snack a few hours after dinner is not going to hurt you. In fact, if you are keeping active, it’s the smart thing to do. The main reason I say you shouldn’t eat that late or at least be careful about what you eat is that...

As some of you know, I have just added Insanity The Asylum to my workout library. I gave it s sample try today and was not at all surprised by the AWESOMENESS if it!! If you think you’re ready, think again! But if you’re ready for a new challenge, Asylum will give you just that! Shaun T is even more ripped than in INSANITY! I’ve never seen abs...

The P90X diet plan has you eating a lot of protein, which is great because protein is the key to muscle development.  I’m sure most are probably eating much more than you are used to and might have a hard time adjusting to it. I remember thinking there was no way I could eat as much protein as the P90X nutrition guide was telling me to.  So I had to get...

I talk to a lot of people about fitness and nutrition and I can honestly say that the one thing people are most intimidated by is the word “DIET”! For some reason, people have it in there heads like ”diet” is a bad thing. The 2 most popular misconceptions about diet are these Starving Yourself Eliminating “Good”...

I began the Shakeology 3-Day Cleanse yesterday (Monday) and wanted to give everyone a quick day 1 review. First, I want that thank my husband for doing this with me! His support is so appreciated!  I started the day off weighing 114 lbs, which was a little surprising to me as I weighed 2 lbs MORE than I have in 6 months!! Not sure where that extra 2 lbs...
