I have been thinking about doing this little experiment for quite some time now, but to be perfectly honest - I have been SCARED!

I have been worried that I couldn't commit, so in typical Taryn fashion I dove deep into the knowledge, which is usually what pushes me over the edge and give me the confidence to GET THIS DONE!

I also kept seeing little SIGNS popping up here and there. Vegan recipes, friends transitioning, experts talking about the excessive amount of protein we consume, etc.

Now I …

Big goals ARE REALLY overwhelming!

I think personally, big goals are really overwhelming and intimidating, because they seem like they are so hard to achieve and it's such a journey to get there. Let’s use my pregnancy as an example. When I was pregnant I gained 30- 40 pounds each time. My first two I gained over 40 pounds because I had zero interest in nutrition, and I didn't eat healthy. I didn't watch what I ate; I just ate whatever the hell I wanted in sight, because it was the typical pregn…

To live a healthy & fit life, 20% of your results will come from your workouts, 80% from your nutrition, but 100% from your MINDSET. Think of the reasons you either got to the point where you are or gave up in the past..."I can't seem to stay motivated...I'm not a morning person...I don't have time...I'm afraid I'll fail....I have no discipline or self-control...I've never finished what I've started...I will never be a fit person...If I fail once, I might as well never try again..." ALL of thes…

You remember that ol' saying, "you are what you eat?" Don't you just want to kick someone for saying that to you?

Well, get your steel toed boots out, and kick the sh*t out of me....as it's TRUE!!

You are what you eat. You CRAVE the food you eat!

This was inspired by a book I'm currently listening to, called Made to Crave, by Lysa TerKeurst. It's available in book form too, but I'm an audiobook gal. Audible is my jam.

Cravings are a part of life.

Some are healthy, other are not. 

When we eat o…

Clearly I've been around the block a few times when it comes to having kids and breastfeeding. I gained and lost the baby weight with each, relatively different, with the exception of #2 and #4 (both exclusively Beachbody workout programs - of which I'm the leanest I've never been).

Now, I'm not claiming to be an expert when it comes to all things pregnancy & breastfeeding, BUT, I will say, my personal experience, may have higher credentials than those that are certified, yet never had a child th…

Are you a breastfeeding Mom?

Do you have multiple aged kids?

Do you constantly feel overwhelmed with how and where to start?

Never feel like you have time for yourself?

Do you feel exhausted every day?

Do you struggle with the hormones and how they hold on to your Mom Bod?

Do you find that every free minute you have should be spent on chores, instead of yourself?



As you know, I've been running fitness and nutrition support groups for fellow Mom's for many years now, and as a result,  there has been so…

Day Two of P90X/Plyometrics

Up at 5 am again. I am going to need to go to bed earlier, as it was not nearly as easy to roll out of bed this morning!

Took my supps, fried KC his eggwhites before he was out the door to work, set up my living room to look like "My Gym", signed on to WOWY “Online Super Gym” and then pressed play. I don't get to work out with music, as my kids are all asleep down the hall, and I have to keep the volume VERY low and do all my hopping, jumping, g…
