Core de Force rocked my world

So you all know I was doing a new workout program last month, right?  Well it completely changed me in more ways than just physical.

I discovered I CAN do different workouts and like them, even when they are hard and not something I'm used to.  I had to learn new moves and feel uncomfortable doing them.  They weren't my normal squats, lunges and burpees.  I had to learn to throw punches and kicks!  It was way out of my comfort zone!


I discovered I CAN follow a meal plan, even during the holidays when there are sweets around me.  I just have to plan ahead and follow through.  I learned that meal prepping is key to me staying on track, but I can do it in an hour or so one day a week and that makes my whole week easier!

I discovered that I need my personal development to get me through those tough days when the workouts were longer and I wasn't sure if I was going to make it.  Personal development keeps my mind strong, makes me tell myself that I can do anything!

Physically, I got stronger, leaner and gained endurance!  I lost 1 pound through the whole month - not much, but the changes in my body were totally worth it and I don't really like the scale anyway!  It changes everyday for me and I have learned that it is all about how I feel!



My stomach leaned out and my arms got a little bigger - but I can do crazy push-ups now, I can last for over an hour to do 2 workouts if I want, my clothes fit better and I am way more confident than before I started the program!

Chocolate protein bars

This is one of my most favorite recipes that I have adapted to fit our families needs and make on a weekly basis.  It provides protein and carbs to keep you full and satisfied for the morning!   Our kids literally have this breakfast every day and if I don't have them made, the kids are quite upset. They call them chocolate bars but that's very deceiving because there's not really much chocolate in it! These take 10 minutes max to make and then time in the fridge to set.  1+ cup natural peanut butter (I like Skippy) 1 cup local honey (for allergy sakes!) 1 1/3 cup oatmeal 3 scoops chocolate protein powder (I use Orgain) 1 scoop chocolate Shakeology (if you don't have this, just do 5 scoops of protein powder) Then I dump in some flax seeds and chia seeds - not measured Heat peanut butter and honey on stove together.  Add in your other ingredients and mix well Spread in a container (I use a 9x13 Pyrex). Place in fridge overnight or freezer for an ...

Hello!

Hey!  I'm Terra, a physical therapist and fitness enthusiast.  I decided to start a blog because I feel there is so much to share about our bodies, fitness, health, physical therapy, life as a wife with kids AND we all need encouragement, support and positive affirmations in this crazy world.  Life is a journey and when health is incorporated it is a lifetime of making good choices for you and your family.  Choosing to stay active and eat clean (at least most of the time!) takes dedication.  To see results and be your healthiest, you need to be active 5 days a week and eat clean 80% of the time. I want to support and encourage you.  I love helping others learn and teach them what I have learned over the past several years.  If you are interested in getting started on your journey, check back often and see what's new and exciting around here - recipes, workouts, fun/educational articles I have found and just crazy life things. I hope you are read...

Happy Holidays!

It has been a glorious 5 days off work and time spent with the family!  We normally travel for the holidays, but we had been traveling so much we decided to stay home and have Thanksgiving.  Our neighbor invited us over to join their family so I didn't have to make a big meal for the 4 of us - plus AJ said he would rather go out to eat than make a big meal that may get wasted.  So I accepted the invitation 😊 I did make some pies, chocolate chip cookies and a green bean casserole to bring over 😱 I did quite well with my eating and only had a little piece of cherry pie and pumpkin pie!  I told myself I wasn't going to have any, but I only eat pumpkin pie once a year so I couldn't resist myself! No skipping on the workout though and I tried to make the green bean casserole a little healthier - this (http://smilesandwich.com/2015/10/26/clean-eating-green-bean-casserole/) isn't the exact recipe I used, but similar.  I tried to follow the one on Beachbody on Dem...
