Sleep. Eat. Sweat. Repeat. I am a full time working mother of a 9 year old boy named Ashley. We are an active family that loves watching and playing sports.
Most weekends (and weeknights for that matter), you can find us at a hockey rink in Winnipeg Manitoba, where we live. We love our busy life that takes us for A to B to C to D, but it has always been our crutch and major excuse for not getting into shape. Not anymore...
We have now found Beachbody and all of our excuses have gone out the window. Who doesn't have half and hour a day, 5 or 6 days a

The Brutally Honest 6 Reasons You Are Still Overfat | Strength Coach Taylor Uncategorized The Brutally Honest 6 Reasons You Are Still Overfat January 26, 2015 Taylor 24 Comments I haven’t written a new blog in quite some time. Why? Because every time I go to write a new blog I realize that I have already written on the topic, most often many years ago. So I just repost that…

I am going to do this before I leave on my trip!! I think it'll be the push that I need right now as I (ok I'll admit it) haven't been eating super awesome these past few weeks! I even had some candy this weekend while watching the horses this past weekend. I think this will be the kick I need to get over this plateau I've been experiencing and to get going in the right direction again!

No starving yourself or carb crashing, feed your body essential nutrients while keeping your body nourished and hydrated with delicious meal options and amazing tasting shakes!

HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN
-Spray the pan with non-stick cooking spray or a little bit of olive oil.
-Heat pan to medium/high temperature.
-Place chicken breast in the pan with lemon juice
-While the chicken is cooking, combine mustard and honey. Once chicken is almost cooked through, drizzle mustard on the chicken, then turn chicken and drizzle on other side.
-Grind pepper on chicken and continue cooking until chicken is cooked through.
-If more cooking is required but the liquid evaporates, add water.
-I always like to add water and cover the chicken after I lose most of the moisture from the lemons juice and honey mustard. This keeps the chicken nice and tender and my son LOVES how easy it is to eat (meat is not his strong point, but he ALWAYS has seconds of this!!).

Yes, I can have that burger, actually, I CAN eat whatever I want, BUT why would I want to eat something that is going to make me feel awful?
Treat your body with respect. It's the only one you're going to get!

A lot of people find it hard to believe that I workout everyday. They ask me where I find the motivation. For me, I find it so easy to make the decision to workout because of how much the change in lifestyle has just changed my WHOLE LIFE!!
Last night my family and I were able to just pick up, hop on our bikes and head to a BEAUTIFUL local park to ride bikes and play volleyball. It was SUCH a great evening that NEVER used to happen. We talked, laughed, got some exercise and fresh air and just had a GREAT TIME TOGETHER. THAT is my WHY!
Sure, I have short term "why's" like trying to fit into a dress and doing the Grouse Grind, but my BIG WHY is the ability to do what I want, when I want, with the people I love!!
What is your why? Please share as I love hearing about what motivates others! :)
If you haven't started your journey yet, answer this: "What would motivate you? What could be your "why"?"
