Hammer and Chisel: 60 Day Results
Results are in, y’all! And I am super proud! If you haven’t been following my journey, you may not know that I started Hammer & Chisel around Christmas time. It’s an 8 week program and focuses a lot on strength, muscle building and shaping, and leaning out with some high intensity workouts. I started this program with hopes to sculpt my muscles and lean out a little and I’m really happy with the results. The nutrition plan is simplified. The program comes with color-coded portion control containers (yes, the same one’s from 21 Day Fix and you DO get a new set with this program) which make it…

Roasted Balsamic Veggies
Balsamic vinegar is my jam. I eat it on a lot of things. I’m weird like that. Salad. Chicken. Rice. Quinoa. Steak. Tilapia (see, weird). So I had to do it on veggies. Ok. One word. Delish. These turned out great and made a perfect side for tonight’s roasted turkey breast. Ingredients: 2 large zucchini, quartered 2 sweet potatoes, peeled & diced 2 carrots, peeled & diced 2 green peppers, chopped 1 onion, roughly chopped 1/4 c balsamic vinegar 2 tbsp EVOO 1 tbsp chopped rosemary Sea salt & black pepper Directions: Chop all veggies. Mix vinegar, oil, and spices together. Toss together in a large bowl. Bake at…

Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer (clean)
Because once September hits, the pumpkin spice is flowing like the Budweiser beers during Cardinals playoffs (another reason why I love this time of year!). So contrary to my husband who wanted to stick to the artificial stuff, I wanted to recreate that PSL flavor without the added sugar, artificial flavors, or food dyes. Ingredients: 1 c vanilla unsweetened almond milk 1 tbsp pumpkin purée 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp nutmeg 1 tbsp pure maple syrup Directions Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan over low-medium heat whisking lightly until purée has dissolved and milk begins to steam. Remove from heat and pour into a mason jar or…

Coach Summit 2015- Nashville
It’s been a few weeks but my first experience at Coach Summit happened over the weekend of July 16th and I’m still on a Summit “high”! If you’re not familiar with what Summit is, it’s the annual training trip from Beachbody where this year 25,000 coaches out of 330,000 came together. There is recognition, celebration, training, and workouts with celebrity trainers. I got to fist bump Sagi (the Body Beast guy) after my workout. I kind of felt like a big deal. I showed up to my workout with Autumn Calabrese (creator of 21 Day Fix/Extreme and Fixate) wearing the same thing she was wearing. She should have called me…

21 Day Fix Extreme Results!!!
I just wrapped my second ever round of 21 Day Fix Extreme on Monday and wow! I loved this program when I used it for competition prep back in February because it gave me shredded results and I loved it again now for that very same reason. The pic on the left is 8 days after my last competition. That’s right. I was that girl who binge ate for a week after my show, was bloated, felt like crap, and what did I have to show for it except the pics on the left. So I knew I needed to step it into high gear for 3 solid weeks.…

Mommy Guilt
Mommy Guilt. We all have it… It starts when they’re teeny tiny, that first week old and thinking “Man, I just want to take a shower without this tiny earthling attached to me around the clock!” And as soon as I jump in the shower it never fails, the baby cries and the guilt sets in! Now that they’re a little older the guilt is less…guilty… I guess. But I still get that heartache when I have to leave them for an extended period of time. I was thinking that last night as I was packing my bags for our 4 day getaway this weekend to Nashville, that this will…

The Why Behind Everything I Do
As I sit here looking over my planner for the next few weeks, trying to organize my life and create a sense of normalcy among the chaos that is my current life, I have to pause, breathe, and be thankful for what has brought me to the chaos that I have today. When you’re sitting in the delivery room, waiting for them to hand you your very first, teensy weensy, wrinkly, freshly bathed and swaddled little peanut, what they don’t tell you is that not only is this little person now outside your body but now, so is your heart. Here you are, Mrs. Roberts, and you will now be wearing your…

Clean Eating Shakeology Granola Bars
In my house, we love peanut butter. Every week, on the grocery list. Peanut Butter. Spoonfuls on spoonfuls, PBJ’s, protein bites, treats, snacks, ants on a log, etc. You know it. We also love chocolate. When we can combine the two, it’s heaven. These healthy, guilt-free snacks are perfect for that afternoon craving, that post-workout protein need, or that late night sweet tooth that won’t quit. Dunked into a glass of vanilla unsweetened almond milk and I’m done for. I hope you love these as much as we do! Ingredients: 2 c quick oats 2 scoops chocolate Shakeology 1/4c ground flaxseed meal 1 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp sea salt…
