Hello friends! It is 6 am and I've got my coffee and the rest of the house is asleep. I love mornings. I can type without wondering where Grayson is or what electrical outlet he's messing with (toddlers, whew!). I've been wanting to try out Pure Vitamin Club for a long time now since they …
Macros Explained
If you're new to the fitness world- or just don't live there at all- you may have never heard of macros. And what the heck is tracking your macros? It all used to be so super confusing to me too, but once you get the hang of it, it becomes second nature. Let's break it …
New Relationship…New You?
We've all been there. Or at least, I think most of us. We get in a new relationship, and that guy starts changing us. Not saying in a bad way, but they say that you start becoming more like the people you're around- you pick up their habits. Shane and I knew each other in …
Falling In
Friends, it is 90 degrees in North Carolina today, but it is fall. I'm in shorty shorts, but it is finally fall! And with that, comes my busy season. My head is spinning. Thank God for Trello- if only I'll finally take that Bss Mom Trello training I signed up for a month ago! I'm …

Fasted Cardio…Why even go there?
Hi, I'm Erin, and I have a love-hate (mostly hate) relationship with cardio. But, this half marathon I'm training for? Yeah, gotta fit in the extra cardio. Do I like it? Heck no. Would I rather be lifting something heavy, you betcha. But, gotta suck it up and do it. Got up this morning and got …
Baked Crispy Brussels Sprouts
This is such a easy recipe. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Cut Brussels Sprouts in half lengthwise. In a bowl (or ziplock bag), add olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Roll the brussels sprouts around in your mixture, and lay flat on a baking sheet. *I always put aluminum foil down, less to clean up later!Bake around …
Neon, Neon
For my debut blog post....let's do a fun one! I love neon! For anyone who hates working out, my suggestion is simple- go buy something NEON! I totally forgot I had this top, I bought it on a trip to the Outer Banks last October (I crashed the men's fishing trip...it smelled horrible but I survived! …
