The Best Beachbody Programs for Beginners
I’ve been meaning to write this post for a while, but with New Years approaching, the time felt right. Many people make New Years resolutions to exercise more and eat better. Whether you overindulged during the holidays, aren’t feeling great, want to take better care of yourself or want the healthy outlet of working out, it’s always a great decision to take better care of yourself. But it can feel so overwhelming to know where to start. Maybe you get a gym membership, but you feel self-conscious or don’t know how to use all the machines. I’ve always preferred at home workouts. I can exercise without feeling like anyone is…

The Best Vegan Soups
I don’t know what the weather is like where you live, but here we are fully in the chillier fall temperatures. Summer has had its last hurrah and now every day feels crisp and cool. Fall is my favorite season. Between the beautiful leaves, the cooler temperatures and the general cozy feeling, what’s not to love? If you’re anything like me, the cooler temperatures also signal a shift in the foods you eat. Cooler weather is soup season! Soups aren’t always known for being particularly healthy, but all of these soup recipes I’m sharing are plant based, so not only are they free of animal products, but they’re also packed…

Our Favorite Ways to Eat Tempeh
It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything plant based. I know you’ve been thinking about how much you miss it 😉 I used to post weekly plant based recipe round ups. As time has gone on, I’ve transitioned from frequently sharing about food to posting more about homeschooling and books. While I’m not 100% plant based (I eat farm fresh eggs and occasionally fish/seafood), I do primarily eat a whole foods plant based diet. If you’re interested in learning more about my food journey, you can read about that here. Today I wanted to talk about tempeh. Have you heard of tempeh? Most people are aware of tofu, a soy…

My Honest Review of MBF + MBFA
A few months ago, I wrote a review on 10 Rounds, one of Beachbody’s newer fitness programs. It was the first review I’d written about Beachbody. Surprisingly, it skyrocketed to the most popular post I’d ever written. One of the reasons I felt compelled to write a review on a Beachbody program is that I’m not a coach. I got tired of looking at reviews by people who wanted you to try a new workout program, because they earned money if you did. It seemed like they never had anything negative to say about a program, because they were trying to sell you something. This felt disingenuous, so I wanted…

My Honest Review of 10 Rounds
The majority of my blog posts have been about homeschooling or plant based eating. These topics are near and dear to my heart, especially since they are both huge parts of my life. Another thing I love is working out! I’m not a huge fan of the gym (mostly because I’m self conscious and prefer privacy while working out). About five years ago, I discovered Beachbody. Peter and I ordered the DVDs for 21 Day Fix and absolutely loved it! I’ve loved home works and Beachbody ever since. Nowadays, Beachbody releases all of their workouts on a platform they have called Beachbody on Demand (or BOD). I’ve heard it described…
