The Weekly Chase and Energy Bits Winner!

It's time for another Weekly Chase! Melissa at Live, Love, and Run started this awesome weekly goal setting series and I love it! I am so glad she is going to continue to host it...she gave all of us Weekly Chase bloggers a scare last week when she was thinking about stopping the Weekly Chase. Glad she decided to keep it up! She does have some changes in store so I'm excited about that!


Here are my goals from last week:

• Goal #1: Deep clean my house. 75% done! I got some things done but not as much cleaned as I would have liked. I think like everything else, I need a schedule for household chores!
• Goal #2: Take my sub info to one more school. Fail! This didn't get done. Hayden got sick on Monday and was out of school and at home with me until Thursday. Then when he finally went back to school I had other pressing things to get done that I couldn't get to while he was sick. This will be posted again for this week.
• Goal #3: Do 2-3 planned strength training workouts this week. 50% done! Hayden being sick really put things on hold for me. I did get all my scheduled runs in but I only got one strength training session in...and I did it at home. You can see my Give Me 5 Workout here if you missed it! ;-)

Here are this week's goals:

Goal #1: Take my sub info to one more school. I WILL get this done this week! I need to work people! :-)

Goal #2: Do at least one household chore a day. I can't seem to keep up with the house stuff...from cleaning to laundry it is just hard to get it all done. Then I let it pile up and I get so overwhelmed that I want to cry! My goal is to conquer just one thing a day. That way it doesn't build up so bad.

Goal #3: Do 2 strength training workouts this week. I know I keep coming back to this one but I'm hoping it will one day stick! I want this to become a routine for me like my runs are! I feel so much better afterwards and I know it is making me a stronger runner. I just need to be consistent. 

So there you have it! I know my goals are very similar to last week but I'm ok with that! They may be boring to you but I feel it's what I need to do...it really helps me to write my goals out here for you to see. Yes I may not accomplish them every week but I try. 

I have a WINNER for the Energy Bits! Thanks to everyone who entered the giveaway!!!

#FitFluential and Energy Bits Giveaway!

Some of you may have seen this when I tweeted about it a few weeks ago but I wanted to officially announce it here on the blog. I was accepted as a FitFluential Ambassador!!!

So what does this mean? Well it means that I am going to have a lot more opportunities to help this little blog of mine grow! FitFluential is all about encouraging others to live a healthier lifestyle...and that's my main goal in writing this blog...to share my fitness and health journeys with you...and encourage you to live a healthy lifestyle.

Here is some information about FitFluential from their website:

FitFluential is a nationwide network of highly influential fitness enthusiasts sharing their journey both online and offline through multiple social media platforms. Founded in April of 2011 by Kelly Olexa, FitFluential was designed to connect health and wellness brands with their ideal target market through customized, long-term experiential and contextual marketing campaigns.

We deliver positive messages of health and wellness, but we also promote maintaining a healthy balance. Too often, people view fitness messaging as restrictive and harsh. We showcase how anyone can incorporate habits that will improve their overall health and well-being.

Fitness is all about fitting in to your LIFE. We’ll focus on four primary areas in everything we do: Eat, Sleep, Move, Enjoy.

• Eat- the fuel our body needs that tastes great and helps us reach our goals, whether it is weight loss, building muscle, or learning to eat a more sustainable diet
• Sleep – the importance of rest in getting fit cannot be disputed, and you must get enough sleep so your days are energized
• Move- from walking to bodybuilding, from Crossfit to yoga, let’s move and keep our heart and body healthy
• Enjoy- life must be enjoyed and there are times when a cookie or a cookout and a day off is just what you need.

By focusing on these four components of a healthy LIFE, we promote balance. 

I love those four areas and you will be seeing me post about them here on the blog and on twitter, Facebook, and Instagram!

I highly encourage you to check out FitFluential's website, follow them on twitter, and like them on Facebook!!!

I hope you are as excited as I am about this opportunity! FitFluential is all about fitness and the best brands to help you in that journey! I so excited to join this team of awesome fitness and health enthusiasts!!!

With that said...I have another giveaway for you today!!! You may remember reading my review of Energy Bits...if not you can read the full review HERE. Here is a cliff note version of what Energy Bits are all about!

Bits of Health Inc. is a company that has made a easy way for us to eat algae. Why would you want to eat algae? Because it has so many health benefits including protein, antioxidants, and vitamins! And algae increases your endurance, energy, and mental vitality! It also helps curb your hunger, make you feel less tired, and balances your blood sugar and lowers your blood pressure. Sounds awesome right? You wouldn't want to scoop up algae out of your pond so Bits of Health Inc. has put it into a small pill form that you can chew or swallow! Genius! There are four types of bits: energy bits, skinny bits, recovery bits, and vitality bits. Check out the Energy Bits website to read more about this awesome product!
