Easy Herb Marinade For the BEST Tasting Steak
Hey ya’ll! I’m sorry I haven’t been on my normal posting routine but life has been super crazy lately. I’ve got so many great posts to share with ya’ll, just sit tight! A few weeks ago, I picked up organic and grass fed beef steaks from Lidl to surprise Derrek. He is a steak and potatoes type of guy and I knew he would be super impressed that I thought of him enough to get steaks and cook him a meal all by myself. I am not really familiar with steaks but what I do know is that a good marinade can transform them into a gourmet meal! I put…

Benefits of Walking
I’ll be honest with y’all… I haven’t been working out hard like I was at the beginning of my pregnancy. I *try* to make it to the gym a handful of times a week but I’ve just had a few issues with my blood sugar that arrose after working out so my midwife suggested I take it easy for a bit. I am someone who thrives off of physical exercise and really loves the way it makes me feel so I haven’t completely stopped but just shifted my focus to walking every single day. There are so many amazing health benefits of walking that it’s hard to just talk about…

Dieting VS. Lifestyle Changes
Something that I feel compelled to talk about this week is my lifestyle and how it came to be. I’ve talked about this in the past but it was when my blog was new and I had a smaller following. I get asked health questions numerous times a day and I want to share all of my knowledge with y’all! I’ve also seen a backlash after my transition and it’s something that I want to address. I didn’t change my lifestyle for anyone else. I repeat, I didn’t do it to “be cool” or try and “one up” anyone. I changed because I saw that the way I was living…
