I know there are so many diets out there. I know this and sometimes I cave and actually want to believe the gimmick behind a really good sales pitch. It’s so nice to think that there is some truth in something quick and painless, but my scientific background and common sense always brings me back …

This blog is in response to an email that I received from one of our Boot Campers. She was concerned about how to make time to exercise, with a busy schedule, two little ones and a husband that works late… I motivate myself to do my workouts everyday by setting an intention that my health …

Hello fellow boot campers! My name is Erin Bieker and like you, I have chosen to embark on this journey of a hot bod. I asked to write a blog post because I felt like I had that “oh, now I get it” moment this past weekend. Hopefully my story helps some of you. I …

What’s worse than stress? Nothing! Resident Worry Wart. That’s me. I don’t know why, but my hard-wiring is wound a little tight. I have this amazing ability to imagine the worst, stress out to the max, and get worked up over the small stuff. This is not a quality I’m fond of. Stress kills. And …

She commented, “I’ve literally tried everything to lose weight, but I cannot get in that right state of …

In our fitmixer Boot Camp, snacking is a MUST (yea – that’s a good MUST)! Here’s the thing, it can get tricky to grab a quick snack in a hurry if you are not prepared. I went to the grocery store today and started putting away groceries in my typical manner when I realized, if …

(WARNING: Incredibly long blog…and a tear-jerker!) Last Monday was the one year mark from losing my precious puppy, Lucy. She is so very near and dear to my heart that I thought it would be nice to dedicate a blog to her. That little dog taught me more than I could ever imagine in the …

I was lucky enough to get the chance to go with fitmixer® to the very first Blend Retreat. A few blogger ladies put on a retreat for fellow bloggers and friends (combining those two words = BLEND ) to get together, exercise, talk, get to know each other, and just have a great time! It …
