Wellness Wednesday: Body Armor and the Benefits of Coconut Water

Filed under: Fit Moms, Mom Life · October 14, 2020

Hey guys!!! Happy Wellness Wednesday!  Today we wanted to share with you all some of the great benefits of drinking coconut water. And why we love Body Armor! As parents of three athletic kids we know how important it is to keep them hydrated. 

Body Armor is packed with electrolytes, antioxidants and potassium. They never use any artificial sweeteners, flavors or dyes like most sports drinks. Which is really important to us. There’s also Body Armor Lyte that is low calorie! And they even have Body Armor Sport Water that is -pH9+, alkaline and full of electrolytes. My favorite flavor so far is the Orange Mango! Oh and the Fruit Punch is so good cold! 

 Here are 10 benefits of drinking coconut water. 

  1. Keeps you hydrated
  2. Supplies energy
  3. Great for your skin
  4. Slows down aging
  5. Burns fat faster 
  6. Maintain Heart Health
  7. Helps dissolves kidney stones
  8. Improves circulation
  9. Balances Blood Sugar
  10. Strengthen Bones

So if you haven’t added coconut water to your diet, I highly recommend it! It’s good for you, refreshing and tastes great. Remember, your health is wealth!!!!

Vegan Challenge

Filed under: Mom Life · October 7, 2020

It’s Wellness Wednesday y’all and I’m super excited to share something with you all today. One of my goals for this year was to transition to a pescatarian diet. I have been cutting back on my meat intake over the past few months however, I do enjoy a burger every now and then. I have also started substituting whole milk with almond milk. And thank God that Starbucks has so many great vegan options nowadays.

My friend Kimberly and I were talking a few weeks ago and she told me about Tracy and her 21 day vegan challenge. I immediately signed up and ordered her cookbook “The Ageless Vegan” I’m not sure how much cooking I will be doing 😂 but my friend Sherry over at That’s a Wrap is helping me stay on track. My hubby and I have been ordering vegan meals from her for the past few weeks and they are so delicious.

Over 10,000 black women have signed up for the challenge and I wanted to let you know that you can still sign up too! This first week is meal and mental prep week. The actual challenge starts on Monday and will last 14 days. Some health benefits of going vegan are…

10 Benefits of Going Vegan

1. Reduce risk of Heart Disease

2. More energy

3. Lower blood pressure

4. Weight loss

5. Clearer skin

6. Less inflammation

7. Good for the planet

8. Hair and nail growth

9. Reduce risk of diabetes

10. Longer lifespan

So who’s joining me?

Babbleboxx: Feel Good, Look Fabulous

Filed under: Fit Moms, Mom Life · August 22, 2020

This post is sponsored by Babbleboxx!

You all know how much I love fitness and practicing self-care. This Focus on Fitness  box from Babbleboxx was a perfect fit for me. Not to mention it was right on time. It is full of literally everything that I have been wanting to try this year, but low key putting it off. It’s like the Universe was saying “Here you go”!

However, as a fit-ish mom of three I cannot lie I have seen some big changes this year. The gray hairs are sprouting up all over the place (ya’ll know what I mean)  My metabolism has slowed down and well #fortysomething has taken on a whole new meaning for me. The great news is that I know that there are tons of great products that can help me get back on track. We can be fit, healthy and fabulous moms at any age. So let’s get into what’s in my box!

Focus on Fitness

Ancient Nutrition Multi Collagen Protein and Zinc + Probiotics

Ancient Nutrition Multi collagen protein powder was created with multiple benefits so you get everything that you need for healthy hair, skin, nails, joints and most importantly a healthy gut! This blend features collagen type I,II,III, V and X. It is sourced non-GMO, pasture-raised, cage-free and cruelty-free! You can add daily it to your coffee, smoothies, pancakes and even your cookies!

Ancient Nutrients Zinc +Probiotics features 20 mg of enzyme-activated zinc and 2 billion CFUs of probiotics. It supports a healthy immune system and aides in digestion. Dr. Axe formula has been a great addition to my daily health supplements.

Amenti Oracle Feather Heart Deck and Guide Book

This oracle deck will help modern soul seekers find truth and balance. “Uncover the mystical power of eternal ideals, built on the teachings of the Emerald Tablets and learn to cultivate a heart as light as a feather.” The beautiful 42 card deck features unique illustrations with timeless wisdom, including “I Am Humble” and “I Embrace the All,”. The accompanying illustrated guide book delves deeper into the meaning of the cards, as well as practical applications of Ma’at’s teachings, advice on intuitive card readings, and sample spreads to spark the imagination. This is the perfect gift or self-purchase for any modern mystic and pairs well with tarot cards.

Packed Sustained Energy Bars from Nature Valley

Nature Valley is proud to share their newest snack bar, “Nature Valley Packed”. These bars have ingredients that you can feel good about like creamy nut butter, crunchy nuts & seeds such as almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds or peanuts and chewy cranberries or blueberries. They are smooth and chewy unlike Nature Valley’s traditional bars, making it stand out from other snack bar brands. “Packed” bars delivers on the sustained energy that we busy moms need to get through our day.

It may be time to add greens powder like this one at https://www.outlookindia.com/outlook-spotlight/athletic-greens-ag1-review-is-it-worth-the-hype-or-superfood-don-t-buy-until-you-read-this-news-301982/ to your diet if you have limited access to fresh greens.

They are so smooth and come all the way down to my ankles. Use Code: Sport25 for 25% off your next no nonsense purchase.

Have you heard of Veestro? Veestro makes fully-prepared, 100% plant-based meals and ships them frozen to reduce food waste to anywhere in the U.S. The mission of the company is to help everyone eat more plants by providing chef-crafted delicious meals that just need to be heated and enjoyed. I have made a commitment to at least one vegan meal a day. “With Veestro, there’s no more chopping, cooking or cleaning! Just heat, eat and love!” I personally recommend the red curry! Get 25% off any order with code BABBLE25 – expires October 31s​t​, 2020.

Ring Hero

The Ring Hero is the perfect accessory for active women. It is a wristband that keeps your rings and small jewelry safe during your fitness activities. Just place your goodies inside the pocket, zip pocket and slip on the wristband. Now you don’t have to worry about scratching or damaging your rings while you workout. I like it for going to get my nails done too. This makes taking off your rings much safer! Use code BabbleBoxx10 to get 10% off your order.

This box is truly amazing! I am loving everything in here. Be sure to let me know if you try anything.

XO,

Sharonda

Favorite Workouts

Filed under: Fit Moms · December 31, 2015

Last April, I was talking with another mom of 3 and I noticed that her body had changed a lot since the last time I saw her. (Especially her booty) I asked her what was she doing. Her response, she used the ballet bars to get her pre-baby body back. I knew I had to try it out for myself. I was a little nervous because the last studio I went to had different levels and the higher the level the more competitive it felt. Yes I was afraid!

Now there are several barre methods out there and you have to find the one that works best for you. Most gyms offer barre classes too. I personally prefer Pure Barre. Pure Barre is the fastest most effective way to change your body.

I signed up right away for the first month unlimited and I got hooked. It is amazing how using light weights, breathing techniques and lots of tucking can really transform your body. After eight classes I saw a difference and I knew this was the perfect workout for me. I love the instructors, the studio is always clean and the more you go, the better you feel. So if you are looking for a way to get that body back try Pure Barre!

Come along with me to my Figurella session! Figurella is a unique weight loss program that helps boost your metabolism, lose weight, detox and  tone. It has been around for over 30 years! I love that it is low impact but burns calories! One 30 minute workout in the bubble is equivalent to an hour  and a half in a regular gym. This is because of the unique temperature control technology! 

Since joining Figurella not only have I dropped ten pounds but I have lost over 6 inches and I feel like my old self again! 

So if you are looking to get into your best shape head over to Figurella Pinecrest and tell them that Sporty Mommas sent you! @figurellapinecrest

Two months ago I decided that I wanted a change. I was tired of how my clothes were fitting and I just didn’t feel good about myself. So I knew it was time to try something different. I decided to invest in my health and wellness. As moms we do so much for everyone else but we don’t always do the same for ourselves. I’m so close to my goal of losing ten pounds (like a pound away 😂) and I’m so proud that I stuck with it! 

Here is your sign to invest in YOU and not feel guilty about it! Whether it’s a personal trainer, life coach, therapist or meal plan do whatever you need to do to be your best self!!!

Hello September!!!! I am ready for a new month of opportunities and abundance!!! One of the things that has helped me get through the tough parts of being an entrepreneur is surrounding myself with women who support other women. There’s nothing like learning and sharing experiences with women who get it! I highly encourage you to find a tribe in your city and if you are in Miami we have two great events happening this month! Hope to see you soon and I hope you all have an amazing September!!!
