Who doesn’t want a booty like Brittney?  (Brittney Spears for those millennials who don’t know who I’m talking about)  I know I do.  One might call my rear a “pancake butt” aka no butt.  I have been teased and joked about how my pants even stay up.  Haha, very funny.  All jokes aside, a toned, … Continue reading Workout Wednesday- Bench Booty Workout

Instant Pot Maple Orange and Proscuitto Sweet Potatoes

Instant Pot Maple Orange Sweet & Prosciutto Potatoes

Halfway through the week!  It's already the 10th of the New Year.   For me, last week was hard to keep my diet on track after eating so much sugar over the holidays.  It definitely takes some self-control to stay away from the giant bag of peanut butter M&M's my sister left at my house. … Continue reading Workout Wednesday- Arms Circuit
