Why Joy Through the Darkness

Okay, so we feel the need to explain our title a little more so everyone doesn't think this blog is about depression. We titled the blog Joy Through The Darkness because we wanted to bring encouragement to you during the winter months. When the weather turns cold and it gets dark out earlier, it's harder to be outside doing something physically active and it's hard to turn away that warm, heavy, laden with calories but oh so delicious comfort meal that makes us feel all warm and fuzzy from the inside out. This doesn't even include all of the extra yummies that make their way into our belly's during Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's and National Chocolate Day (ok, that one I'm not sure if it actually falls in the winter but I do know that National Chocolate Day is one that, if your like me, you think should be celebrated everyday!)
Here we are to help keep you motivated through the winter months when things get a little tougher by offering encouragement, inspiration, workout ideas, and healthier recipes. I hope that you enjoy reading our adventure as much as we enjoy telling it!
