Hello luvs,
Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. We are so happy to see and hear that our story of our battle with hormones and our skin care routine is helping you all out 
We wanted to share our story in effort to help someone else who maybe dealing with the same issues!
In case you missed any of the hormone action you can catch up here, here, and here
I wanted to share with you a quick re-cap of our some of eats over these past few days.
Lots of delicious green smoothies, of course 
This one out of our new marathon cups – great buy!
Had one kombucha while shopping at the grocery store
Trilogy is one of our favorite flavors though the lemon and ginger are our top 2 favorites
Our ever so favorite meal: raw sauerkraut
We added some MSM – E3 Renew Me into it. This is a new product we have added to our diet due to the MSM in it
Simple yet satisfying salads – becoming our favorite meal!
Starting to get back into juicing a few times a week. By having some fresh juice while down in Orlando made us realize how much we miss our fresh vegetable juices
Beets, carrots, cucumber, celery, burdock root, and ginger
More coconut kefir – this one made into a basil smoothie! Seriously delicious. So thick and creamy and a little sweet from the stevia YUM!
Some chia pudding with all our favorite fixins like coconut flakes, coconut oil ,and cacao nibs with a dash of stevia drops
Made some roasted vegetables with some coconut oil, rosemary, coriander seeds, and sea salt
Rosemary has to be one of my all time favorite spices to roast veggies with!
What is your go to herb or spice to grab for roasting your veggies?
Now that is just a few of our meals that we have been enjoying over these past few days.
As for our workouts:
Yoga vs. Gym?
We did it! We cancelled our gym membership and started going to some local yoga studios to start really concentrating on our yoga practice *Now I know some of you are probably like “why is cancelling a gym membership so great?” Well one of our new year goals was to start doing more yoga and therefore could not afford both a gym membership and yoga one. And we decided to go with yoga this time : ) over paying for our gym membership. Yes they do offer yoga classes but it is not the same as actually going to a YOGA studio. Well, at least for us it is not the same! We like the whole experience of going to yoga studios.
So far we have done two different classes at two different studios. Still trying to figure out what studio we like best Plan to do more classes this week. Also we went for our first run after our marathon on Saturday. It was a nice 30 minute run. It was hard at first but after the first 15 minutes we got back into our running groove. Though must admit it felt weird running again after the race. We are really starting to enjoy yoga and strength training now over the pounding aching body we feel from running!
Our fitness routine is changing a bit this new year. We still plan on running about once a week but trying to focus our yoga, core strength, walking and jump training type activities.
Off to go for a walk.
Till next time,

Well you ladies know my take on it since I just cancelled my gym membership too! I am doing much more yoga than I ever did before and also using the ExTv workouts and feel like my fitness routine is more well rounded than it ever was when I was attending the gym….!!!
I am actually trying to decide whether I want to do a gym membership or yoga studio passes. I think I might do a gym membership and go to the studio less to balance it out. Such a tough decision!
Ryan it is a tough decision. We went back and forth for awhile before making the final decision. Good luck!
Trilogy is my favorite flavor too!
Love those cups, what a great motivator to keep juicing!!
I have been hooked on green smoothies lately. I need to juice more as well. I go through stages.
Lauren, yes we go through stages typically we are green smoothie girls, but lately enjoying a fresh cup of juice is nice
Good for you on canceling the membership! I LOVE roasted veggies; my favorite spice to use is Herbs de Provence. It’s a French blend of spices but you can find it at any supermarket. It has some lavender and fennel in it, which tastes delicious!
Great lookin’ food your whippin’ up! Yum!
And I think you concentrating more on yoga is great! That is definitely what I have been doing and I love it! I love the feeling I get after a great workout from yoga, and the destressing. I, too, let go of my gym membership (well P90X at home HELPS!!!) and have been attacking the yoga studio. Studios definitely have a fantastic feel! Good luck and have fun!
I totally agree– gym yoga classes aren’t even close to classes offered at a yoga studio! I’m still debating on my gym membership, too… but for now I’m enjoying my Yogalosophy DVD!
I have a feeling that after my marathon, I’ll want a change of exercise routine, too!
Good luck on the yoga-studio hunt!!
Thanks Megan, yeah we just bought the yogalosophy dvd so we are excited to try it
Have heard a lot about it!
“We did it! We cancelled our gym membership and started going to some local yoga studios to start really concentrating on our yoga practice”–Congratulations!!!!!!!!!
Gym yoga can be good in a big city, at a high level gym. By and large, it’s not though. And yes, nothing cares to studio yoga. I much prefer to teach in studios than gyms b/c everyone is there for the practice, respects the practice, and is not just “passing thru” for a 5:30 class b/c spin was cancelled. They are there with a totally different mindset. haha.
GREAT and I am SO HAPPY FOR YOU TWO!!!!!!!
Thanks Averie, it would be awesome to have you as a yoga instructor
we are really happy too with our new yoga fitness plan!
I’ve also been thinking about cancelling my membership! The things that I enjoy most are taking dance/yoga classes or doing stuff at home. I may jump on your bandwagon!
I LOVE Franklin St. Yoga!!
Haven’t been there, we have been trying Blue Lotus and Evolve here in Raleigh. So far we like both
Lemon and ginger are my two favorite kombucha flavors also
My son’s favorite is the Lemon and ginger too! I like them all.
