Saturday Morning Spinning Sweat Sesh & Harbinger Fit Palm Grip [Winners!]

October 19, 2013 By Kasey 3 Comments

Gooooodmorning everyone! How are we on this fine Saturday? It’s been a productive one over here! Got up early to take a spinning class this morning which I haven’t taken in such a long time! I missed it. I used to go once a week in college with a group of girlfriends and I forgot how much I really enjoyed it. It’s rare that I’m home on the weekends so I took advantage of it & got up early for class then ran all of my errands, stopped by Whole Foods, ate a HUUUGE stack of powercakes to refuel the bod, & made a delish coffee latté with coconut milk all before noon! Last … [Read more...]

August 2, 2013 By Kasey 4 Comments

Happy Friday Feature everyone! I hope you had a great week! I first wanted to shout out to everyone who has been e-mailing me in response to my post “Checking myself before wrecking myself.” The fact that you all can be so honest with me and feel that you can share so many details with me makes me so appreciative of you. I try my best to give advice to help you & the fact that I look back now and see how nervous I was to share my personal story but then seeing how much inspiration came from it makes it all worthwhile. Sometimes my Universe Know’s mug & tea bags know exactly … [Read more...]

Happy Wednesday everyone! Hopefully you got a chance to check out the quote from yesterday’s post – I actually met with my girl Jen last night for dinner & we discussed that quote in detail.

Hi all! Hope you’re having a great Tuesday & you got to check out the Motivational Monday post from yesterday! It’s always nice to know that we’re not alone in our worries & can relate to one another. Today I wanted to share with you a new recipe that I created thanks to my friends from Growing Natural’s who sent me their Pea Protein Powder to try out & review! A key feature of this protein powder is that it has excellent digestibility which means less of a chance of bloating symptoms and is easy to digest. I also liked that it was sweetened with coconut sugar & … [Read more...]

July 1, 2013 By Kasey 3 Comments

Say that Blog post title 3 times fast Before we get to that delicious recipe, I wanted to recap my dinner meet-up last night with my girl Alexis from FitPossible! It’s such a small world; Alexis actually lived down the street from me until she was 3 years old and then moved to Florida. We eventually got in touch via our blogs & couldn’t wait to finally “meet” in person when she came home to visit this week! Before meeting at Mad Mex Restaurant, I hit up Trader Joes which happens to be right down the street from there! *Picked up some veggies, fruit, basil, rosemary, dried … [Read more...]

Happy Wednesday Everyone! It’s a busy week this week with Coaching summer camp again so I wanted to share some new products I’ve tried! The company Oloves contacted me to try out their olives! After checking out their site, I knew I’d be a fan. I love me some olives. To my surprise, they also sent single servings of Dip In’s of hummus, bruschetta, stuffed grape leaves, and tapenade! Isn’t the packaging adorable? Definitely eye catching & perfect for on the go. I couldn’t wait to throw these into a #POWERBOWL. *Massaged kale with Lemony Lover Oloves & … [Read more...]

March 20, 2013 By Kasey 8 Comments

Hi all! So glad you enjoyed the Zucchini Power Brownie Fudge Bars! I promise you won’t regret making them. I tell ya, I could not wait to refuel with my #PowerbowlADay last night after this WOD. I got through 4 total rounds plus 20 burpees in 15 minutes. Talk about a cardio blaster! You may wonder what the (1.5-1) means, which is exactly what I was wondering the first time I did a CrossFit workout with Kettlebells. Here is the conversion; 1 pood =36 lbs; 1.5 pood = 54 lbs So for women, it was prescribed to use a 36lb kettlebell. Before CrossFit, I used to stick … [Read more...]
