DAMY Method Programs: Real Food Meal Plans & Fitness Routines–Done!
While scrolling through my Facebook feed one evening, I came across a photo of a marvelously decadent-looking dessert. Following the link, I was taken to the DAMY Health website, chock-full of delicious recipes for sweets, treats, and meals, too! I was intrigued, so I read on. I realized that the DAMY Health Program was right up my alley! Amy Layne, the creator, prescribes to the same ideas of weight-loss that I do: eat well & exercise. I don’t speak much about weight-loss on this blog because I don’t think “thinner” is necessarily a goal one should set out to...
Read MoreMulti-Sport Shoes Keep You Movin’!
Words I live by: simplicity, practicality, durability. The KeenVenice H2 multi-sport sandal is the perfect, ahem, *fit* for my outdoorsy-lifestyle. As part of the Go Green Get Fit Challenge, I wore my Keens on a recent camping/hiking trip to Shenandoah National Park. The features of the Venice H2 ended up being the perfect combination of long-walk-worthy comfort and waterproof necessity. Day One: After setting up camp in the late afternoon, we decided to take an early dinner at the campground lodge. Cooking outdoors did not seem possible since the skies were looking ominous and the wind had...

This post is part of the 12-week Go Green, Get Fit Challenge as part of the EcoMom Alliance Sustain YourSelf™ Program presented by PlanetShoes.com. I’ve been an admitted slacker in my fitness goals. I give myself credit for activities that *do* keep me fit, but I haven’t been committed to any formal exercise. After attending a music festival this past weekend, I realized that the summer lends itself to fitness (when the heat isn’t making even water sports unbearable), and I’m throwing any ideas of formal exercise out the window. Physical fitness can be found without...
Read MoreI’m Not Giving Myself Enough Credit. Are You? #GoGreenGetFit
Who says working out and staying fit has to be routine? True, creating routine helps keep fitness present in every day life, but, you know, that doesn’t always work for me. I’ve admitted that I’m not a person who sticks to schedules very well and I need to embrace that. Thinking I’ve been bad at my progress with this challenge, I took a look at what I’ve done and realized physical activity is definitely more present in my life; I haven’t been giving myself enough credit.

Read MoreGet Fit Friday: Shifting Focus & Setting Attainable Goals #gogreengetfit
A few truths about me: 1. I am a perfectionist. If I can’t do something well, I don’t do it at all. 2. I am a procrastinator. If I feel like I can’t accomplish EVERYTHING, I accomplish NOTHING. 3. I am horrible with time-management. Basically, it’s really quite amazing that I do anything throughout the day other than feed myself and wipe my ass. A few truths about fitness: 1. There will be failure. There has to be. Challenge creates room for failure and challenge is needed to test the body’s limits. 2. Sitting on one’s ass all day thinking about a fitness...
