Hello! My name is Krissa and I am 25 and single. {Why must I say single. I am not sure. But there you have it} I used to blog over at Randomness. So it was difficult to decide what to guest post about. But I figured since I am in the process of my journey…

Oh, losing weight… the story of my adult life! With every baby I have (that’s 7!), it gets harder and harder to lose the weight after. It used to be that I could do practically ANY diet, and it would work… low carb, low fat, low calorie, etc. But, as I got older it has seemed like nothing works. I even worked with a personal trainer for two years, made some definite fitness progress, but really struggled when it came to cutting. I tried macros, her bodybuilding diet, and basically everything under the sun, to no avail. Ugh. Soooo annoying.
Hey, friends!! So, in these pictures are my little brother and sister-in-law and they are KILLING IT in the health and fitness department!! I can’t believe the awesome changes they’ve made (so proud!) and am super excited about their new health challenge starting this January… you know, after the MAJOR holiday binging.
Hi again, Becky here from Bite of Delight! I’m so excited about today’s post because it’s all about one of my favorite discoveries… coconut oil! This amazing stuff has solved a lot of problems in my life, from cleaning to personal care to cooking. There are so many incredible uses for coconut oil, but today I want to talk about my top 10. These 10 best uses for coconut oil are in no particular order, because I love them all!
A little over 3 years ago, I had (what I hope to be) my last baby. It was always hard for me to stay motivated and lose all my baby weight after each baby when I was planning to get pregnant again. But after our last baby, it was go-time. And by “go-time” I mean 8 months after I had him I was finally motivated and ready to get back in shape. For the record, I didn’t exercise while pregnant with my last baby (unless you count chasing around 3 other kids as exercise, and it should probably count) nor was I a healthy eater while pregnant. I ate anything and everything all day long and put on a good 50+ pounds. And I was as out-of-shape as I had ever been in my life. I had my work cut out for me.
During this process, I started getting a lot of questions about what I was doing to lose the weight and get back in shape. I learned a LOT during the next year as I literally worked my butt off to get healthy and thought I’d share some of the lessons from getting healthy that I learned.
Ever since becoming a mother I have put my children and household first, and myself last on the list of things to take care of. But, I have come to the realization that taking care of myself is doing what’s best for my kids. That’s why I’ve decided to exercise at least three times each week and eat more good-for-you whole foods.
I’m sure many of you can relate to my situation. I mean … it’s really hard to get all of the fresh fruits, vegetables, and nutrients required to stay healthy; especially with little ones running around! That’s why many of my meals (especially lunches) end up being of the smoothie variety…
Many people are making resolutions and changes at the beginning of each year, and it feels like just about everyone includes becoming fit and healthy somewhere on the list. Transforming your body is a difficult thing to do, but there are many easy and inexpensive ways to do it. You don’t have to break the…

A few months back, one of my always cool, clever, and gorgeous friends, Kim… (you may remember her from last Sunday’s post on ways to free up your hands) started a super fun health competition. I loved it so much that I was sad when it was over! So, I just had to start my…
