My First and Last Graze box


This post is not sponsored by Graze nor am I affiliated with them

This post has been long overdue and I just haven't had the time to sit down and write it up. I am going to discuss my first and last Graze box. If you haven't heard of Graze, they are a healthy snack subscription service where you get to choose from over 90 different combinations of dried fruit, nuts, etc. Each box costs $6.49 USD, including delivery. When you sign up for Graze, you can choose a nibblebox, maximum number of snack combinations, or a caloriecounterbox, the low calorie snacking box. I choose the nibblebox and you see above what I received in my box. I was not happy with what came in my box. Even though I took a survey and told them what I wanted to receive, that was not taken into consideration for what was packed in the box.  There are, however, some good things that Graze offers. Every snack you receive contains "no genetically altered ingredients, no artificial flavors or colors, no high fructose corn syrup, and 0g trans fat per serving."  You can also swap your snacks at anytime if you want to try some different options.

If you are interested in Graze, I have a special coupon to offer you.
Get your 1st and 5th boxes free by doing the following:
1) Go to graze.com 2) Enter the code: RG9X1Y2TB

Happy Snacking!

30-Day AB Challenge [June Fitness Goal]



So, I can admit that I have gained some weight over the past year. I tried to challenge myself to workout and eat better a couple month ago and I failed miserably. A friend of mine on Facebook joined this challenge and I figured, I should try it too! There really is no reason why I can't find time to workout and this challenge is perfect! It only requires a little bit of work each day and I think this is something I can stick to. Of course, I will need to limit the amount of "junk foods" while doing this challenge, to really get the full potential out of it.  If you're interested, here's a link to the Facebook event: 

Have you ever participated in one of these "30 day challenges"? What were your results?

March Fitness Goals


Hi ladies! I have been neglecting my blog and youtube channel lately and that's because I have just been so busy and have had no time to work blog posts and videos! I know that's just an excuse but working full time(40+ hours) and spending weekends with my boyfriend, doesn't leave a whole lot of time to dedicate to my blog and youtube channel.

Anyways, some of you may have noticed in my latest videos that I have gained some weight, approx. 15 pounds or so. My goal is to try and start losing some of that weight and just be healthier. So for the month of March I want to challenge myself to workout and be healthier. This is want I want to try and achieve:
1 - Work out at least twice a week
2 - Eat breakfast everyday
3 - Drink at last one glass of water everyday

Since I'm not a member of a gym, most of the workouts I am going to do is going to be "at home" workouts. I have a few favorites on Youtube, such as Blogilates and POPSUGAR Fitness. I am also going to try and always take the stairs at work and attempt to take a quick walk on my lunch break - weather permitting. For eating breakfast, I am going to try and make an Isagenix meal replacement shake or eat something hearty and healthy. Drinking more water seems simple but it quite challenging.
Ultimately, I would like to try and lose 5 pounds this month.

What are your fitness goals for March?
