Whenever I try to talk my kiddos into trying sweet potatoes (both of them have a ridiculous aversion to any form of potato-ish texture food), I so strategically call them "candy" potatoes! However, as appetizing as it sounds, they never fall for it! I don't understand it...I love sweet potatoes, especially when paired with pecans or a little brown sugar. Try this amazing recipe for your holiday menu, I know I will be!
Preheat Oven 350 degrees
Ingredients:
3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into cube
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
3 tbsp grass-fed butter
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp Himalayan sea salt
Pecan Topping:
1 cup raw pecans
1 tbsp pure maple syrup
Directions: Peel and boil sweet potatoes until soft. Drain and add remaining ingredients to the potatoes. Mash with potato masher or immersion blender. Spread evenly in a greased casserole dish.
Heat pecans in a small pan over medium heat for 30s, add maple syrup to coat and let boil. Once boiling, remove from heat. Spread pecans on a baking sheet to cool. Once cool, top potato mixture with pecans. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake for 20 minutes.
ENJOY!!
This is one of many "clean" and healthy holiday recipes that I will be sharing in my upcoming Clean Eating for Everyday and for the Holidays group on Facebook! I would love to have you join!

Revolutionizing Fit
When I came up with the idea for the name of this blog, "The Fit Revolution", my thoughts were centered on changing or revolutionizing what it meant to be "fit" for my fellow mommas, but really for anyone and everyone. There are so many ways in which one can be fit...physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually...did I miss any?? And I feel like, at any point in time, improvement in one department helps to improve the others. Improving my physical health has had a domino effect in most other aspects of my life as well. It has shown me what I am capable of in so many ways.
I had tried out a program in hopes of toning up and cleaning up my diet and it set me on this mission to help others understand how simple it can be to get healthy, lose weight and feel amazing. I wanted to help others understand that you should never be "on a diet." There is no need for a diet. Why take extreme measures to lose weight or tone up when you can do it by simply changing how you eat and what you eat and making it a habit. This way you don't feel deprived, starved, or "hangry", you make it into a lifestyle that can be maintained. I felt like I had this awesome sense of control over my health (and still do). I know what to eat, how much of it, how much I need to exercise (30 minutes a day, or so) and supplement all of that with superfood yumminess to make sure I am fueling my body with as much awesome and clean nutrition as possible. So revolutionizing fit is having a clear cut eating plan that is easy to maintain and short daily workouts to keep you out of the gym for an hour and a half. The fact is that it is so simple in comparison to so many other things that I and so many others have tried.
I also wanted to revolutionize what it means to be fit! Skinny does not equal fit. Bench pressing 300 lbs does not equal fit. Fit = doing something on a daily basis to maximize your health, a positive self image, making time for yourself, presence in your daily life, accepting your imperfections, and happiness!
I wanted to inspire moms to do things for themselves! Wouldn't that be a revolution?! Every momma knows that it is difficult to make time for yourself. You instinctively put your children and spouse first because that is your job as mother and wife. Everyone eats before you, you are always running to sports games and dance classes. And by the end of the day, you collapse into bed, just to start it over the next day. Since starting the fitness program and then becoming a coach (so I could share it with all of you), I really have been doing my best to make time for myself and do things that I love.
Becoming physically fit was just the beginning of this whole journey, the coaching part of it has transformed me probably more than anything. I have helped so many people, I have improved myself through personal development, getting back to making time for myself and allowing myself to be inspired by my fellow coaches and my challengers!
My plan is to continue to revolutionize FIT by showing all of you it can be done! You can become fit and healthy without being extreme, still have time for your family and make incredible changes in your own life!

Status Post Toronto!
So, I was hoping to be writing a blog post about my own running experience yesterday but injury has kept me from doing much running lately! Totally ruined my fall plans and I'm not going to lie, I was extremely disappointed as we rode to Toronto, visited the Expo to pick up Kyle's race bib and made our way to the start line Sunday morning.
After doing 3 half marathons, I know how exciting it is waiting to cross those lines - the start and the finish! There is just so much energy and camaraderie amongst all those runners and definitely nothing else like it. But, I have to say, in a way, I am glad that I didn't run yesterday. Yesterday was Kyle's day. He spent months preparing, training, never missed a run, never even once complained (even the 20 miler)! I was able to wait and watch for him to cross the finish line and to celebrate with him when he made his way out of the finisher chute!
It was awesome to just be able to sit back and take in the scene. The city of Toronto is a great city for people watching to begin with, but there was so much diversity among the runners themselves and really showed me that no matter the race, sex, size, or personality, that running is anyone's sport! There was even a guy in a cowboy on an ostrich costume that ran the full marathon! Some people do it to win, some people do it to finish, some people do it just to prove to themselves that they can. It is a group of people of tremendous determination. Determination to be great, to be physically and mentally strong and to be a part of something bigger than themselves. People really come together to support each other, to cheer each other on and extend kind words when a fellow runner might be struggling. That is why I have come to love running, I love the races! The training doesn't hurt (although it has over the past few months) and the races (even when I'm not running) are one of the most inspirational and exhilarating experiences I have had!
But, the best part was that I was able to watch my love and best friend become a member of only 0.5% of the U.S. population of marathon finishers. He finished strong, met his goal (under 4 hours) and was able to walk back to the car (with just a couple stops on the way :))!
My plan is to run here and there throughout fall and winter and hopefully be back in full swing for half marathon training in the spring. I will break 2 hours (set those goals) next year! In the mean time, I think P90x3 is in the works for me and hubby (eek, Tony Horton scares me!!) so we will definitely be in kick butt shape by the time spring rolls around! The 21 Day Fix meal plan and Shakeology continue to be amazing tools to keep our nutrition on track and coaching keeps me accountable!
On that note, I will be holding a "What is Coaching" FB group next week! I'm telling you, when you are responsible for inspiring and motivating others to be healthy, it's that much harder to fall off the wagon. It's an awesome way to keep yourself accountable and a great way to supplement your income with no requirements or pressure! I would love to add you in if you are the least bit interested in what and how I do it! Let me know! Add me on Facebook here.

Four Ingredient Cookies
I have made these "cookies" about 4 times with the last 2 weeks. I even started making double batches! Cookies?? you say? I am supposed to be all about healthy and clean eating?? you say?
Well, these "cookies" are just about the healthiest "un" cookies that still taste like delicious, high calorie, sugar packed cookies! But are anything but! I have been looking for a recipe for clean and easy to make granola bars for the kids. There is something so convenient about just being able to grab a snack like a granola bar, but the store bought bars are full of so many additives and preservatives, even the "organic" ones! And they will break your bank! Most of the bar recipes I found were too complicated and not all that yummy. So I came across a similar recipe and tweaked it just a little and came out with these delicious little bites!

So I came across a similar recipe and tweaked it just a little and came out with these delicious little bites!
Ingredients:
2 Ripe Bananas
1 1/4 cup of Quick Oats
1/2 cup of Dairy free, Soy free Chocolate Chips (I use Enjoy Life brand)
2 TBSP of Natural Peanut Butter
Directions (it can't get any easier):
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Smash bananas, mix in oats, peanut butter and chocolate chips. Use a teaspoon to drop onto a cookie sheet. Bake for 15 minutes!
So I made about 16 small "cookies" with this recipe and they were gone in 2 days! Just try to keep them longer! Oh and since they are all fresh ingredients, you will want to store them in an airtight container for no more than about 5 days. Let me know what you think!
Oh and check out my latest fitness challenge group on Facebook here!

Getting Fit Does Not Discriminate
When I decided to try out the 21 Day Fix earlier this year, I had many people say to me "You are already thin.", "You don't need to lose weight." And every time I heard that, I wanted to scream. There, I said it. It really made me crazy.
Losing pounds was not my ultimate goal. Sure, it was welcome, but it was not the reason I began on this journey. I made a decision that I wanted to get HEALTHY. I made a decision to cut out processed foods. I made a decision to add a 30 minute daily workout to my running schedule to improve my fitness. I decided to do all of this for the benefits that it would have on my cardiovascular system, my cholesterol, my mood, muscle tone and most importantly, to start setting a better example for my children. The weight loss just happened when I made these changes. And, it was a lifestyle change! It wasn't unreasonable, it wasn't unsustainable and I wasn't starving. I was learning. I did this for me.
My point is that getting fit is for EVERYONE. You might have 50 lbs to lose, you might be average weight, you might be underweight, you might be young, middle age or pushing 70! Do not underestimate the effects of what you are eating and your physical activity on your life. Your whole life. You may have no idea how great you could feel. I didn't. I thought it was normal to want to take a nap at 2 pm.
The greatest victory for me as a result of the changes I made was learning how to eat to feel amazing. I learned what foods to eat, how much to eat and in what balance to maximize my health. And now, when I get off track, I know it. My body tells me about it. I feel tired, my skin breaks out, I'm cranky.
If there is any one change I would encourage you to make to get healthy is to take the time to learn. You might think you already eat healthy. I thought I did. Guess what? It wasn't good enough. Take the time to learn for yourself, to feel better, to set an example for your families.
I run clean eating groups all the time and have one coming up starting October 6th. You don't have to want to lose weight, you just have to want to learn about getting healthy and getting fit. If you want to get started learning how, you can join my Facebook event here. Add me and send me a message letting me know you are ready to start learning! Would love for you to join us!

And it's not just me...this was a message I received from one of my latest challengers. This is for real.

Vegan Pumpkin Pie Cupcakes
Happy Fall!!
Is it officially fall yet? It doesn't matter, close to fall means pumpkin everything and I am seriously in love with pumpkin!
The problem is that I am pretty much the only one in my house with this love! So, to bake pumpkin style is quite dangerous because I end up eating most if whatever it is myself!
This weekend we celebrated my amazing Mom's 60th birthday with a limo to dinner and the casino! A great time was had by all! Lots of food, drinks and cake, of course. One of my uncles has been following a fairly strict vegan diet, so he wouldn't be able to participate in birthday dessert festivities unless we brought something special along. I remembered I had come across a vegan pumpkin cupcake recipe that I wanted to try and tweaked it a little (of course I added chocolate)! The cupcakes were a hit, not just with the vegan guy, but everybody else at the table too!
I think this recipe proves that vegan desserts can actually be super delicious in a not overwhelmingly sweet way! There is no dairy, no flour, and no refined sugars. Check it out!
Vegan Pumpkin Pie Cupcakes
Ingredients:
Cupcakes:
1 1/2 cups Pumpkin Puree
2 Ripe Bananas
1/2 cup Coconut Sugar
1 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1/4 tsp Ginger
1/4 tsp Nutmeg
1/4 tsp Sea Salt
2 TBSP Vegan Chocolate Chips
Whipped Topping:
1 Can of full fat Coconut Milk
2 TBSP Maple Syrup
1 tsp Organic Almond Extract
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Blend first 7 ingredients until smooth, then fold in chocolate chips. Fill cupcake liners with the mixture and bake for 25 minutes.
For whipped topping, combine coconut milk with maple syrup and almond extract, blend with whip attachment until desired consistency.
Let cupcakes cool completely, refrigerate. Top with whipped topping before serving.

Refreshed!
Who has done the cabbage soup diet in effort to drops a quick 5 pounds?? Yes? No? Either way, if you are looking for a quick fix that will get you started the healthy way and get you results, this is the way!
Back in June, Beachbody released one of their latest products, the 3 Day Refresh. I bought it at the time it came out and have just been staring at it on my shelf for 3 months! I have never done a juice cleanse, a cabbage soup diet, or anything "extreme" to lose weight, so anything that involves just 3 days scares me a little. But, as I talked about in my previous blog posts, end of summer took it's toll and I was quite ready to be refreshed!
So what is the Refresh?
It is a 3 day cleanse and detoxification that focuses on whole nutritious foods to help you kick cravings, rid of toxins, decrease bloat and re-energize! Unlike juice cleanses that are high in sugar, this program provides proteins, vegetables, and good fats to fuel your body, but also promotes weight loss. This way your body does not feel depleted of nutrients and you don't crash.
What is included?
With the Refresh Challenge Pack, you receive a 30 day supply of the nutrient dense meal replacement supplement, Shakeology which serves as breakfast. You receive 3 packets of Fiber Sweep, a mid morning fiber full snack, and 6 packets of Vanilla Fresh, another plant protein packed meal replacement. Vanilla Fresh serves as lunch and dinner along with plant based meals outlined in the guide. And, after the 3 days is done, you have the rest of the 30 day supply of Shakeology to keep you on track!
So what happened?!
As I said, any type of cleanse leaves me a little reluctant, but I jumped in with a positive attitude and started on a Wednesday, so I knew I would be home for 2 of the 3 days, and it didn't cross a weekend (we all know how hard weekends can be when it comes to minimal eating)! I drink shakeology on the regular (and love it) so breakfast was easy, I was able to eat some fruit along with my shake and felt satisfied each morning. The shake kept me full until time for the fiber sweep. I just mixed in filtered water and gulped it down! Not bad at all. Lunch each day was vanilla fresh with some raw cauliflower (you choose from a long list of veggies!) and hummus. And I added some organic almond extract to the vanilla fresh shake to make it even tastier. Dinner each night was a Vanilla Fresh with a giant salad loaded with greens, peppers, sprouts and cucumber with lemon juice dressing. Yum! And for a snack in the evening I had a cup of ginger green tea.
Day 1 and Day 2 were easy peasy! I wasn't hungry and felt great. Day 3 I started to feel a little hungry towards the end of the day. I had lost 4 pounds and 1.5 inches off my waist by the morning of the third day, so I cheated a little and added some white beans to my salad! Cringe! I didn't quite make it, but was super proud of myself for making it as far as I did!
Was it worth it?
Definitely! I felt so much better, bloat was gone, 4 pounds off and 1.5 inches off my waist! It really helped me to get back on track with the healthy eating and get back to where I was before summer took over my healthy habits! It was not hard because you still get to eat yummy nutritious foods, clean out your system and don't have to starve!
Would I do it again?
Definitely, if I felt I needed to get back on track! ;).
Who is it for?
So this program is for anyone who wants to wipe the slate clean, get back on track to healthy eating, jump start weight loss, or even get ready for a big event or vacation to look and feel great! And the great part is you have another 27 days of shakeology to help you stay on track and reap the amazing benefits of all those super nutrients!
How do you get a hold of it?
Contact me of course! Would love to guide you through and make recommendations for you!
