August Ellie wear box

Good Morning!!!

Guess what came in the mail?

Well, the August Ellie Box did!!!

Remember a few weeks ago I told you about coming across an advertisement for Ellie...showing a workout outfit for $49.95 and it came with exercise equipment.....

Well, this month they gave you the option of getting the outfit and equipment or just the outfit.

Outfit and Equipment Box is $49.95 and just the outfit is $39.95

A great deal either way I think!

Cause seriously... it's hard to find a workout outfit less than $100 much less one piece of the outfit causing less than the total of the whole outfit you get in you box!

Audrey was insisting on being in my pictures... so here she is.. 

Now this shiny bag showed up.... SO EXCITING!!!

Leggings they have a grey and black design... perfect to wear with anything! 

Tank top.. in a reddish color 

Sports bra in the grey and red color.

Also got this cute shiny bag along with everything!!!

The outfit fits so good and is a favorite of mine for sure!!!

That's 2 boxes so far that haven't disappointed me!

I can't wait for September's Box!!!

Active wear monthly subscription box

Good morning!

It seems like there's a monthly subscription box for everything these days...

Last month, I came across an advertisement for Ellie...showing a workout outfit for $49.95 and it came with exercise equipment.....

I said, "wow that's a great deal"...

"Gosh, you can't even buy pants for that"....

" Let me check the reviews"

Well, I did and I saw how many people were pleased with the subscription that well I went ahead and joined.

Cause lets be honest having a good outfit and make up makes you have confidence to go anywhere...

Any extra boost to get me to the gym... I'll take it!

I found out that the July box was totally made for me!!

 My favorite color coral was part of the collection!!

Now I'm going to show you what I got......

This sparkly box  was waiting for me the other day on the porch!!!

Opened it up and it was like Christmas for the gym lover!!!

Came with an Ab Wheel

Also a chilling towel... I can't wait to try that out!

then in this sparkly bag was what i was most excited for.....

Sports bra in a charcoal grey with black outlining.... 

Hair ties that matched the outfit

A tank top that is not form fitting... Thank goodness there is room to breathe!!!

Then a pair of leggings!

I am very pleased with this outfit! I am going to wear it to the gym tonight to test it out!

They were really good with the sizing and you can change from Box to box... they ask each time and tell you how the sizes run. 

Just think I got a 3 piece matching outfit for $49.95!!!

I mean for real what an awesome deal that is...

Now this month you get options with the August collection Box....

You can get the outfit for $39.95

or you can get the outfit and equipment for $49.95

If you are interested in getting your own box visit the website here

Let me know that you think!

I am totally going to get the August Box... That outfit is super cute too!

Now to find new shoes to match...... uh oh... this might be bad... 

Maybe I should go to the gym first....

Have An Awesome Day!!!

Here's how I did this week..... 

My Fit Bit Totals for the week: 

Monday 3,329 steps

Yep... I forgot about it once I had to charge it....

Weight watchers?  What's that?!

I weighed myself last night and I am back to 150.20!

Yep!

I became part of that 94%.....

I am human.... but I'm not happy with my results or my behavior.

I am better and I will be better this week!

I have my Fit Bit on.... I have already had 2 of the 10 Cups of water I need. I have my good lunch packed.

10 glasses of H20 please!

Hey!

Hello!

How are you today?

Happy Friday!

Here's a little funny for you since today is FRIDAY THE 13TH!!!

Alright now all seriousness.....

WATER!!!!

That good ol H20!

How much should you be drinking?

 Do you know how much water you should be drinking? 

Here's a trick to help you know:

Take your current weight, divide by 2 and divide by 8. That is the number of glasses ( 8oz) you should have every day!

You will feel like you are going to the bathroom a million times at first!

Your body will slowly adjust and you will begin to stay hydrated!

I hear some people say they don't like water... which I find so weird...

It's water...

I personally have never had a problem drinking water now no it isn't my first choice but if I am working out or being active I do go towards water to help with my thirst. 

If water isn't your favorite and you need to add something to make it yummy to you... Avoid the powders and sport drink additives... They are full of sugar or artificial sweeteners and aren't good for you... you will be defeating the purpose practically.

Here are some ways you can FANCY up your water:

 Think of flavor combos you like in other recipes and build from there. Here are some ideas to get you started:

• Cucumber + lime + strawberry + mint

• Lemon + raspberry + rosemary

• Orange + blueberry + basil

• Lime + ginger root + basil

• Watermelon + honeydew + mint

• Cucumber + mint + jalapeno

• Lemon + thyme

• Orange + hibiscus + star anise

• Orange + cinnamon + cardamom + cloves

• Pear + fennel

Share some of your favorite Water recipes with us in the comments below!!!

Share your magic number!

Mine is 10! I rounded up!

I'm already on cup # 4!

Hope you all have a wonderful day! 

Drink up!

Beach Body here I come!

Hey!

Hello!

Guys.... Guys.... GUYS... 

Guess what?!

I bought the Beach Body on demand program!

You get all of the workouts and diet plans.

 Now for $99 until the end of Feb.

You are so going to want to get this awesome deal!

You know which one I am most excited about having is Country Heat!

Which yes I did tell ya'll about the Zumba Country as being awesome and it is but this program works you a bit more.

 It really makes me wanna say Yee Haw!

I am so excited and Can't wait to start!!!

Kris has been enjoying doing the T25 or PX90 that was included.

We are also interested in trying the Core De Force program.

Seriously this is a great deal to be able to try all these amazing workouts and there is no excuse of being bored when having all these options to choose from.

If you are interested you can contact Samantha

She also has done a group page to keep everyone motivated during their journey!

Which I am apart of and I love it!

I love helping others out because it helps me out as well.

You can't be telling people what they need to be doing or should be doing if you aren't even doing it yourself.

That's why I am always asking if you have the same goals...

Let me help you by helping myself too!

They ask you to do your before and after pictures, measurements, and weight.

So I will need to get that done tonight before I start. 

I think I am starting the Country Heat program tonight.

I am super excited!

So that means Feb 8th I should look and feel a whole lot different! 

Now I know not to let myself get frustrated even if I don't complete the program in the 30 days...

It's all good!

I can do what I can and start over for the new month. 

This whole process is to make me better then I was...

I'm not coming home taking care of Audrey then eating and sitting on the couch.

I come home take care of Audrey, work out, shower, fix dinner and then sit on the couch!  

So I am already proud of myself and I know this is going to make me even better!

Let's Do this!

I want to know if you have done this workout?

What did you like about it?

Are you interested in doing it?

I can't wait to tell you all about it!

I'm Super excited to share this journey with you all!

Chins up!

Pull those pony tails tight!

Let's kick some butt off ourselves and get healthy!

Do it for the whoa you got hot!

Do it for you!

Do it because you can!

DO IT!

Tastefully Simple : Pesto Pork Chops

Good Morning!

Hello!

How are you?

As you know one of my goals for 2017 was to cook some new things!

Well with the help from my Tastefully Simple order... I was able to do just that!

Using The Dried Tomato & Garlic Pesto mix and Onion onion seasoning!

So good!

Kris even liked them as well!

SCORE!!

Here are you Ingredients:

• 2 Table spoons of all purpose flour
• 2 Tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 Tea spoon of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
• 6 Boneless pork chops
• 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil
• 1 can of Condensed cream of celery soup
• 1 and 1/2 cups of milk
• 1/4  cup of Dried Tomato and Garlic Pesto Mix
• 1 Tablespoon of Onion Onion seasoning

Directions

1. In shallow dish, combine first 4 ingredients. Coat pork chops in flour mixture.
2. In large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chops and cook 3-4 minutes per side or until lightly browned. Remove chops.
3. Reduce heat to low. Add soup, milk, Dried Tomato & Garlic Pesto Mix and Onion Onion™ Seasoning; whisk to combine.
4. Add chops; simmer 12-15 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 150°F on an instant-read food thermometer, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with French-fried onions when serving.

Makes 6 servings. Serve with mashed potatoes and Bayou Bourbon Green Beans.

Make ahead & freeze: Prepare step 1; place chops between sheets of wax paper in a gallon freezer bag. Combine step 3 ingredients in a quart freezer bag. Place both bags in a gallon freezer bag. Seal well, label and freeze. Thaw completely. Continue with step 2.

These were so good!

I had sauce leftover so I did save it to pour some over grilled chicken and rice that I plan on cooking later this week!

If you all try these pork chops let me know what you think!

New year is upon us

Hi!

Hello!

How are you?!!

Can you believe we are about to start a new year?!

Where did this one go?

Do you make resolutions? I kinda do but it's more like Goals to accomplish during the year!

My Goals For 2017!!!

Here We Go:

1. Lose 20 pounds
2. Tone up
3. Cook new things
4. Try a Kick Boxing class
5. Post 20 posts in a month, every month on here.
6. Go on another cruise
7. Level up in Younique
8. Do more adventures with my Mom
9. Go to the shoot range and take a class
10. Team up with another Blogger.

Now, of course I am going to say Lose weight and be fit..... I want to continue this the whole year... I'm going to be turning 30! I want to look fantastic! 30 is just a number! I want to feel that way when the time comes!

I'd like to get to where I get 10,000 steps on my Fitbit at least once a week!!! 

Now I do want to start cooking different things... I know sounds like it kinda defeats the purpose but for most of the days and night I hope to be sticking with Weight Watchers and doing Zumba like it's going out of style!

Just saw at my favorite outdoor mall that they do a Cooking class. Which you end up cooking your dinner during this class! 

Try a kick boxing class! Looks like fun and would be nice to Punch something and not get in trouble, since punching people if frowned upon. 

Have at least 20 posts a month on here! Considering there are 28,30,or 31 days in a month... I think I could do this.... I'd love to get more followers! I see people reading my posts but feels like I am talking to myself sometimes!

Go on another cruise! Yes! I would love to see The Virgin Islands...  That's our next want to spot to travel to! 

I want to have more dates with my Mom... I would love to go do more with her. Even if it is cook her dinner or something!

Level up in Younique! I would love to start selling more and level up. I have a lot of work to do to get that done. I need to take more PICTURES! I need to do more VIDEOS.  I feel like with getting healthy again I'll have the motivation to look good and feel good all working for me. 

Team up with more Bloggers to guest blog or do a fun post featuring both of us! Yes! I would love to work with another Blogger. Fashion...Makeup...TV Show...anything! I would love to share the styles or opinions of others and have a kick butt post because of it!

Sounds like an exciting year!

If you are a blogger and are interested in teaming up..... Please please please Contact me!!! I would love it!

What are your goals for 2017? 

Share them with us!

Hope you all have a wonderful and safe NEW YEAR!

Happy 2017!!!

Can't wait to see what the new year brings and work hard to get these goals accomplished!

<3 Ashley
