Arctic Zero Review and Giveaway!
Most of the United States is buried in snow and freezing cold, so I'm sure the name "Arctic Zero" makes you shudder a bit. But in my world, it is never too cold to enjoy a bit of a healthy dessert, so today I'm excited to review this low-calorie, gluten-free,...
5-4-3-2-1 (Blast Off!) Workout
It's been a while since I've shared a circuit workout with you (although they're always stored on the menu bar under Fitness --> Lyons' Share Workouts!) This workout took me about 22 minutes, and uses minimal equipment - just one set of light dumbbells (and you...
Don’t Let Something Silly Hold You Back
There's a reason that "silly" is in the title ... because I feel somewhat silly telling you this story. But if you get past the particular example that I'm about to give you, I believe there's a powerful Motivation Monday message here, and I hope you find a way to...
7 Interesting Things I Read This Week

Happy Monday! Do you get today off to celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day? Kevin has to work today, so I'm considering it a "work day" as well. Regardless of your work situation, I hope you take time to reflect on what an amazing leader MLK Jr. was and what...
7 Interesting Things I Read This Week (Take 2!)
Last week, I thought I was pulling a fast one on you guys by "just" providing 7 interesting things I had read that week rather than a "real" 7 Tips Sunday post. But several of you seemed to really enjoy it, and fortunately for you, I tend to read a LOT of...
Warm-Me-Up Chicken Quinoa Soup
I've always loved having a big bowl of steaming, hearty soup on a cold day, but I used to stick to the canned versions. I used to think that making homemade soup was a complicated and laborious process that required a "real chef." When I got my first crockpot as a...
Stepping Out of Your Fitness Comfort Zone
Whether you're bored from doing the same exercise every day for the past 5 years, or you're just wondering where to start, it can be hard to build up the confidence to try a new type of exercise. (picture source) But if you don't continue to mix up your routine, you...
