In the last few months, I have learned a lot about healthy living and eating. One of the main lessons I have learned is that eating a plant-based diet (a diet centered around plants, vegetables and plant-based proteins) is the healthiest way to go. Unfortunately, while there is quite a bit of information on plant-based… Continue reading Thrive Kitchen and Plant-Based Living

Eat Breakfast!
There is a new study out that men who skipped breakfast had more chances of having a heart attack. They have been saying for years that people who eat breakfast tend to be healthier and control weight better. It seems to me that breakfast is pretty important (as the saying goes, "Its the most important… Continue reading Eat Breakfast!
Join in the Shred!

This has been an incredible and life-changing experience for me!

A Few of My Favorite Things
I have had a few obsessions recently. My first one is a little sad. Unfortunately the other day while my boyfriend was mowing the lawn, he ran over a nest of baby rabbits. We were both mortified and I actually ended up taking one to a veterinarian who specializes in wildlife and they said they… Continue reading A Few of My Favorite Things
Summer Shred to the Extreme!

And in an effort to make this a lifestyle change and not just a fad diet, I have entered the month of June starting the Extreme Summer… Continue reading Summer Shred to the Extreme!

Exhausted because today was Field Day at my school and I worked my booty off, setting up, working games, being a "human car wash," helping out with the Talent Show, and taking… Continue reading Walks and Homemade Lara Bars

This means limiting prepackaged foods and… Continue reading What is Clean Eating Anyway?
My First Try at Tofu
Another successful day! I like taking things a day at a time, especially when times get rough, although that is not really the case at the moment. Things are starting to slow down (relatively) in my life, with the close of the school year (work) and summer beginning soon. My mind is now starting to… Continue reading My First Try at Tofu
Pushing Forward
Bobbi's Summer Shred has been kicking my booty! Its been an amazing, enlightening journey for me the past three weeks. I have discovered that I have A LOT more willpower than I ever knew, and that it is possible for me to eat clean every day, exercise 5-6 days a week, and get everything else… Continue reading Pushing Forward
Eating Clean
Since I started this Summer Shred through NHerShoes, I have been eating completely clean. I thought this would be incredibly difficult and that I would be starving all the time (especially since I'm tracking my calories), but truthfully, it has been much easier than I expected and I have been LESS hungry because I make… Continue reading Eating Clean
