Strong4Life

Has anyone else seen this video? It might be a little extreme, but it will definitely make you think!


Check out the Strong4Life website. I found some great ideas, and I really want to make the healthiest choices for myself, Alex, and Nicholas. It is much more important to remember the long term goal by providing our kids with the best health choices than the short term reward of unhealthy foods and activities. #foodforthought

Blueberry Protein Pancakes


I got this recipe from Jamie Eason (love her!), and tweaked a few of the ingredients. The pancakes are so addicting- Enjoy, and be careful with these! #cleaneating

House Hunters....eeeek!

I am so excited, tomorrow night they air our second House Hunters episode!! We filmed this past February with all of our renovations so I am so excited to see it come to life!! Pictures don't show the angles of the renovations well so I am pumped to see what it looks like video taped.
August 14th at 10pm (third segment of show)
Let's take a quick peek at the madness we moved into.
We also demolished the "master bath" and made a jack and jill bath and 4th bedroom.
When we moved in a little over a year and a half ago we had planned to only renovate one bathroom, then we became addicted to the renovation process and brought this old beauty back to life with a tiny bit of Darr family flair. When I look around these rooms it brings me so much joy because we picked every tiny detail of it. It was definitely a long process but so worth it! I cannot wait to see it come to life tomorrow night on HGTV at 10pm. We are the third segment of the show.

Here is a pic of Sammer from the day we filmed. He was only 2 months old. 
 I am semi cringing at seeing myself 2 months post partum but it will kind of be cool at the same time to see how far I have come in my health and fitness. I was literally 20-25 pounds heavier when we filmed. INSANITY how much changes in a few months!!!
Feeling uber blessed.

Let me know if you guys catch the episode!!! eeeeeek!!

The Ultimate Yogi

My P90x3 program is complete, and I am jumping on the Yoga bandwagon! I am not a "yogi" (yet), but I think this might be a great personal (mental/physical) challenge for me. I have decided to try "The Ultimate Yogi" workout series. There are 12 discs (each around an hour, expect for the abs which is 18 minutes).


Since I am used to P90x3's 30 minute workouts, these longer workouts will definitely take some getting used to. Again, I am going to challenge myself to get up earlier and have a more positive attitude. We will see how this goes since I am truly one of the most inflexible people I know. Whatever, no pain, no gain! I am excited to take this on, and we will see how I look and feel after 108 days of commitment. Woohoo!

A diet plan is included, as well: I particularly found this part of the website the most interesting (especially this video):
