If you follow us on Instagram or are friends with us IRL, you’ve probably noticed a new trend..and we aren’t talking about animal prints. Our newest accessory that we can’t live without is our giant water (64oz) water bottle. We started a water challenge (on IG stories) back in April as a way to force ourselves into drinking more water. Well, I guess it’s really just me because Michelle was already drinking around 100 ounces a day. I was only drinking around 30. Yeah I know, awful. After realizing I was living in a constant state of dehydration, I figured after 35 years it was time to change that. I’ve read all the articles and been told by many doctors that water is the cure-all to most everything but for some reason, I had a really hard time consuming more. I also didn’t know how much I should drink or even how to track it. So that’s when I decided to create this challenge. It’s all been a learning experience for me but also a totally life changing one. After doing some research and consulting my doctor, I found that a general rule of thumb is that we should be […]

What Are Macros and Why Should We Count Them?

admin — Tue, 25 Apr 2017 15:21:44 +0000

What Are Macros and Why Should We Count Them? “Macros? What the heck are they and why are people counting them?” That was my gut reaction when I caught wind of the macro trend. I have never been one to count calories or to follow any kind of diet for that matter. I mean why in the heck would I workout so hard if I can’t just eat what I want afterward? That has always been my mentality and approach to my diet but little did I know that I wasn’t eating enough of the foods that my body needed to perform properly. After an injury that set me back with my fitness goals and feeling like crap when exercising, I realized I needed to make a change. No longer could I just “wing it” when it came to my nutrition, especially when training as hard as I was. That is when I inquired about the macro craze, I did a little research on my own and then started asking questions to the friends I knew that were on a macro type diet. The things I read and heard were pretty similar, it was all about balance and making sure you hit your […]
