A Morning Routine Sure to Get You Going
Rise and shine it’s bootie kicking time! Are you the person that rolls over in the morning and pushes snooze on your alarm. While I am sure you know that’s a bad habit, I am going to tell you IT’S AN EXTREMELY BAD HABIT. Get out of bed, get your day started, don’t let your body dwell on what it can’t have; more sleep.

Below are a few things that happened while training and running the actual race. 1. Hematuria is a real thing I never had hematuria while training for my marathon, even at the long distances, but come mile 13 during my marathon urinary tract infection symptoms kicked in and the hematuria wasn’t far…

Detox Smoothie
Stride into the new year on a healthy foot. I know eating healthy isn’t always the easiest feat, but it’s one that will make you physically feel better. Easier said than done on so many levels. Don’t get me wrong we do eat unhealthy and I will be the first to admit I have a bin of sugar candies and a separate bin for chocolate in our pantry, but the majority of our meals are centered around vegetables and wholesome foods. We have been drinking the below smoothie this past week and have fallen in love with how it makes us feel. The smoothie has helped with my bloating and…
