I’ve been pestering my friend Jenna (of Small Fry Blog) to allow me to post about her weight loss and fit-lifestyle gain for awhile now and she finally gave in!  She’s a mom to two precious boys and looks younger than ever.  I’m so proud of her and thrilled that she is allowing me to share her story with you all here.

Not only does she look amazing, Jenna feels better than ever after making some serious changes to her diet and embracing a lifestyle of exercise.  I think there is nothing better than REAL LIFE examples of regular women who are committed to changing their health for the better and then get to show off their results as a testimony to the sweat and hard work it took to get there.

Arugula Salad with Apples, Marcona Almonds, and Honey Roasted Cipollini Onions

I’m sure many of us are starting the new year with fresh resolve to eat well and make positive changes to better our health.  In some ways, the holiday sweets are a blessing because I always feel a little in need of sugar detox by January 1st!  You know you need more vegetables when you start craving them and all I could think about when we got back from our holiday travels was a big fresh salad.

I tossed this together with mostly things I had on hand,

Although I prefer to workout at the gym or go for a jog in the park, I know many people like to work out at home or have no other option.  When I announced I was starting a fitness blog on Honey We’re Home, lots of you wrote in and told me about your at-home workouts that you enjoyed and saw results with.

Since I haven’t done any fitness DVD’s, I can’t give a personal review, but I was hoping that you could share in the comments section what DVD’s you like and what you had good experiences with.
