These THRIVE reviews are a sponsored post. All opinions are mine alone. Seek medical professional advice before starting any weight loss journey. I am not a medical professional. This holiday season I gained five pounds. Five pounds in one month! It's easy to gain it, but so hard losing it, isn't it? So at the beginning of the year I decided a change was very necessary. I didn't want to see the number on the scale continually go up. Then last week my husband and I took a trip to Tucson, … [Read more...]
Moms! Here are 10 Baby and Mommy Exercise Ideas
This review and giveaway was made possible by iConnect: Influencer Management and Pampers. I received product free of charge, but all opinions are 100% mine. I easily lost the weight with baby #1. I was younger, more active, and losing the weight was priority. Then four and half years later baby #2 came. It was much more difficult. In fact, I've lost and gained the last three years and it's been hard. He turned three this summer and I do not have an excuse any longer. I need to stay … [Read more...]

Shedding that Winter Weight
This is a sponsored post with the Niche Parent Network & Conference. All opinions are my own. We joined the local YMCA in Gig Harbor. I love it. My husband loves it. When we bring the kids they love the pool. It is fun and exercising is easy with such a nice new facility. But, my son won't go to the child care. We tried three times. He hates it and cries the entire time. That makes it difficult to work out and attend classes. Not impossible but very, very difficult. I want to keep … [Read more...]
Rewarding Myself For a Job Well Done
I have been doing great on this healthy journey. Not perfect, but honestly great. The past couple weeks have been a journey of self-reflection on why I am overeating (stress mainly and to feel joy secondary) but it has also been a re-start on habits that I had previously done. Good habits. I love Weight Watchers. I have blogged about my journey with Weight Watchers many times. I love it because it is simple and I get to eat the foods I like. But more than that, it teaches me to eat exactly … [Read more...]
