Transformation Tuesday

Transformation Tuesday… Congratulations to Kila S. who lost 20 lbs. with PIYO and Shakeology. After having her fourth child, Kila felt depressed about her post-pregnancy body. Although it was a struggle to get her body back into shape, Kila was committed to making the change. PIYO and Shakeology helped Kila lose the weight and surpass her goals. This is what she had to say about her journey… “I liked that it’s low-impact and that post-pregnancy I could still do most all of the exercises. I didn’t feel overwhelmed and I felt confident doing the moves. After doing PiYo, I vastly increased my core strength. I can hold planks and do core work I haven’t been able to do before. I’ve become addicted to fitness and taking care of myself. I know now that taking care of myself helps me be a better wife, mother, and person.” Way to go, Kila!!

Cranberry Apple Crisp

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I’m sure those cranberry sauces are calling your name… do you have any other favorite cranberry recipes? I decided to share a favorite dessert that uses cranberries as a twist on the traditional apple crisp. The cranberries give that tart, but sweet flavor without changing the recipe too much. This dessert can be prepared ahead of time and baked when needed. A great addition to any holiday dessert table!!
