Carbohydrate-only breakfasts, such as bagels and cereal, can give energy for one to two hours, while complete breakfasts…

    Last Saturday I completed a 5k with several of my cousins as well as a couple of my Aunts! What a fun day and so awesome we can all do something so active together! Have you ever done a color run? This was my 4th Color Run and my 8th 5k. I enjoy these fun runs so much. This was not a timed race but that’s okay the point of these races are to get out exercises, have fun and raise money for charity. Saturday was a beautiful spring day in Colorado. The weather was just perfect. Below are several pictures from our 5k on Saturday as well as some tricks…

Did you know that it’s estimated that Americans spend 2.4 billion dollars on Easter candy each year according to data from the National Retail Federation? WOW, that’s just crazy! I had no idea.  And we wondered why the obesity rate in kids keeps going…
