Synergy Stew

November 21, 2012 | fitness, Giveaway, running, tips

 

Have you ever made soup before, but were missing that one ingredient that just makes it amazing? Unfortunately, it can throw things off balance and your soup won’t taste right. Just like soup, our lives and health rely on a certain, individual to each person, formula to help you reach your optimum health and fitness levels. This can also be called your ā€œsynergy stewā€.

So, I would love for YOU to think about your life, and think about how great you feel when everything is clicking with your fitness and health routines, you feel strong and confident and at your best. What ā€œingredientsā€ make up this ā€œstewā€ for you personally? It’s a great exercise to help you see if you are currently needing to tweak and re-prioritize some things in your life that may help you to become a better YOU!

For example, here is my synergy stew:

Getting 8 hours of sleep a night

running 3-4 times a week

lifting 3-4 times a week

cross train 1-2 times a week

stretching as much as possible

eating a healthy diet

cutting back on sugar and processed foods

drinking Fitmixer aminos and protein shakes.

When I am doing all of these things, I feel strong and at my best. But when even one of these things is missing, things start to get out of whack and can easily snowball downhill!

Head over to Fitmixer and tell them what is in your synergy stew and you can WIN two pounds of a Fitmixer product! (also don’t forget to tell them that I sent you!)

*BOGO sale! Check out the Fitmixer Facebook page (http://facebook.com/fitmixer) and “like” the page to unlock a code to get a FREE bottle of fruit punch aminoĀ® with any purchase (does not include blender bottles). Ends November 30.

      Hi! It’s just the new mobile theme. I am trying to fix the font. If you click on full site at the bottom it should go back to normal, but I am trying to fix it! šŸ˜‰

    I do not know whether it’s just me or if everybody else encountering problems with
    your blog. It looks like some of the text within your posts are running off the screen. Can someone else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them too?
    This might be a issue with my internet browser because
    I’ve had this happen before. Kudos

And somehow, Disneyland still makes it feel like the first time.

Same magic.
Different memories. ✨ 

We had the most amazing time at Disneyland last month. The magic is alive and well, and it gets me every time. This is a great time to take your family and make memories of your own. There are so many great things going on this summer! 

Not to mention, if you use @bestdayevervacay, they do all the stressful work for you, at no extra cost! From discounts to dining reservations, they can handle it. You just focus on making the memories. 🄰

I started noticing little signs during my normal day. Just occasional bloating, gas, and that slightly ā€œoffā€ feeling. So instead of ignoring it, I listened. I slowed down, moved more consistently, and added Align Probiotic to my routine.

And now… it finally will be. šŸ¤

We’re not leaving Tennessee, just making a local move that puts us closer to my daughter’s school, closer to our day-to-day life, and honestly closer to the version of life I’ve been hoping for since we moved here. (Aka not so much time in the car!) 

Still Knoxville. New chapter. Lots of boxes. Please pray. šŸ”šŸ“¦

Between dogs, snacks that never make it to a plate, and whatever is happening in my entryway on a daily basis… I needed something that could actually keep up in one go. This one’s been doing the heavy lifting so I’m not doing 12 different cleanups for the same mess. 

Life doesn’t happen in neat, single-surface moments. From pet hair to crumbs to tracked-in grass, real homes have layered messes. The BISSELL PowerClean DualBrushā„¢ is designed to handle it all in one pass without switching tools or going over the same spot twice. 

Promotion: List Price $359.99, on sale for $259.99 ($100 off) from 4/5–5/30. Limited time only, don’t miss it. Link in bio to shop while the deal lasts šŸ‘€

I clipped the 4x fuel points digital coupon on the Kroger app, grabbed a Mastercard gift card at Kroger, and turned a quick errand into a little win-win situation by adding in a handmade colored card and personalized note. She gets to pick exactly what she wants. šŸ’› 

I get 4X fuel points while I’m already out running around (because of course I am). Simple, thoughtful, and honestly kind of perfect. 
Head to your local Kroger, clip the coupon, and grab a Visa or Mastercard gift card, but the offer is only good through May 12! Link is in my bio!

Disney dads aren’t born… they’re created one character meal at a time. šŸ°

Lately our go-to has been Zbar Protein Snack Bars, especially the new Strawberries ā€˜N Creme flavor that is made with organic whole grain oats, real fruit, and protein to help support growing kids. It’s a snack she loves and I feel good about too. 

It’s a great little reset so she can get right back to doing what she does best, playing her heart out šŸ’•
