Re: It’s Time to Stop Drifting and Design the Life You Want

Kelly Olexa — Wed, 03 Feb 2016 11:39:42 -0000

I have learned so much from you Michael and I devour your blog posts, your podcasts and your last book was outstanding. I love the example you set for others and that you share your dedication to your faith, and yet never come across as lecturing or judging others. As a Christian woman who founded my own company, I'm constantly inspired by how well you handle that balance. Because of all I have gleaned from you and your content, I was beyond excited to learn about this new book. First and foremost because it's from YOU, so I know it will be impactful, but secondly because over the past year, I've had SEVERAL huge "Oh Wow" moments where I realized - until now, I had not been the architect of my life. I was walking a path with my head down focused on whatever came my way. When my business exploded with growth, I allowed my life to become so unbalanced and in many ways unfulfilling- because it was ALL WORK. Now, THIS is my focus. Deciding how I want to live and designing my life to match my core beliefs and what I believe is my calling. I KNOW your new book is going to be just what I need to propel this desire further and I thank you in advance for creating it. You help and inspire so many with what you do. Keep it up because YOU ROCK. #thatisall

Re: Food, Fitness, and Family: Learning to Love My Mom Body

this is an awesome post girl. SO true and I kind of needed to read it. I haven't had a baby but I've had a big challenge personally in my life dealing with the hormonal body changes that came with early onset perimenopause. I'm doing just what you have done- FINALLY- after 2 years of panic and beating myself up and getting nowhere. Acceptance and calming down and trusting that the future will happen- and loving yourself along the way: KEY. ;-) Good on ya!!

Re: Fitting Back In: New Comfort Food Recipe, Book Review, Weekly Workouts

Kelly Olexa — Sun, 07 Aug 2011 17:47:00 -0000

I'd say my favorite comfort food is also creamy pasta or creamy rice- I love this Broccoli and Cheese Rice a Roni (cheezy I know, not homemade), Macaroni and Cheese or a dish like this. And then there is the Fish Sandwich at McDonald's....MMM. Now Jane Green I really like her EARLIER books like Jemima J, Mr. Maybe, The Other Woman, etc. I have bought a few of her more recent ones and found myself NOT as drawn in to them...not sure why.

Re: Fitting Back In: Weekly Workouts, New Work Clothes!

Kelly Olexa — Sun, 07 Aug 2011 17:41:43 -0000

It's funny, in the past, I always worked for companies that had a more formal work attire. Only recently have I been working where I don't have to wear suits and such....and now I am transitioning into even more casual with the growth of FitFluential because more and more my work is around fit activity and on the road! I dig it!! Love that wrap from H&M. Never have shopped there before.

I felt the same way about that movie. I remember wondering why she got all soooo emotional with him, like that one scene where she is like HITTING him and such- I'm like, who would EVER do that? It was odd. I find myself lately getting Netflix obsessed with new TV shows that I only recently "discovered" and then I start at Season One and continue. Currently just starting (don't laugh, 9 years late!) NCIS, I love Fringe, The Closer and then some good movies on Netflix but not a TON that I love. I did really like Life As We Know It. Did you see that one?

Re: Fitting Back In: Florida Bound, Beach Meal Plan, New Slowcooker Curry

Kelly Olexa — Sun, 05 Jun 2011 12:08:56 -0000

I'm a nerd that LOVES purses but never buys them because whenever I'd buy fashionably awesome purses I wouldn't switch from my big biznass-friendly purse with my iPhone holder and it's big enough also to hold food and magazines for when I'm in airports oh every single week.....but I love love love your bag girlfriend!

Re: Fitting Back In: BEST New Taco Recipe, Bizzy Kitchen

Kelly Olexa — Sat, 07 May 2011 12:34:44 -0000

DANG Barefoot Contessa you are!! ;-) Chicken Tacos look yum, but then again, every time I come to your blog I'm in Food Cooking Heaven!! You've so inspired me to cook more and read more (again, used to do this in the past, now am finally doing it again)- just so you know! Thank you! ;-) I've been addicted to fish tacos lately, so it's time I mixed it up! XO

Re: Fitting Back In: My Saturday, Fridge, new Cushions and Book Review

Kelly Olexa — Sun, 24 Apr 2011 22:46:04 -0000

Ok- I started trying Green Smoothies a year or so ago- and I experimented several ways. I was originally making it with kale/spinach/fruit and honey- but it was never truly tasty. I'm sure I was missing something. Then I tried the BeachBody Shakeology and Um that got me REAL spoiled. They have chocolate and greenberry- I use the greenberry (not trying to sell you on this just telling!) and it is FLIPPING DELICIOUS. That said, while all the ingredients are optimal- you do PAY for it, it's costly. I'm just back to having Green Smoothies again but I suck at making them homemade....why do all the bloggers make it look so yummy? Come to think of it, we had a gal make us green smoothies at #NakedFitness that were delicious....I should ask her what she put in them....

Ok so I am the one blogger on the planet that has NOT seen this concept. However, as one that loves frozen bananas, I can only imagine that this concoction would be dreamy. I'm all about trying it this weekend. Awesomeness. Love your blog too, just found you! ;-)

Re: Fitting Back In: What Gets Up Must Fall Down; New Pad Thai Recipe

Kelly Olexa — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 22:47:52 -0000

first of all I LOVE me some Pad Thai. I've never made it at home, although your recipe appears to be one I could try...and for falling, good heavens I had a total wipeout about a year ago- I mean, I ate the sidewalk in front of like 10 friends. Then, as I got off the plane this week, I ALMOST feel because my diva heels got caught in a- well who knows what happened really? Not me. I'm a clutz.

Re: Fitting Back In: Two (more!) new Dresses, Running Again, Body Pump, New Meatless Breakfast Recipe

Kelly Olexa — Sun, 20 Mar 2011 17:57:25 -0000

I have never had pasta for breakfast, but really, what could be bad about that? Pasta is just from heaven. And I hear you on chillaxin weekends....that is my day today after babysitting last night. I'm all about Veg Out in my robe today. Love it.

Re: Fitting Back In: I Dare You!, Giveaway, A Meatless/Rainbow Quinoa Recipe, HRM is Back in Town!

Kelly Olexa — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 23:31:18 -0000

I gotta tell you, I like the idea of doing a Meatless Monday. Since I feature Meaty Men on my blog on Monday's, I could forgo EATING it....I would also like to dare myself to start COOKING- new recipes again, healthy and for entertaining. This is all about my new "get your life back Kelly O" mantra. I'm daring myself to cook/create 3 new recipes a week (when I am in town)!!!

Re: Peanut Butter Banana Bread / Photo Day #9

Kelly Olexa — Sat, 12 Mar 2011 22:04:04 -0000

OMG that bread looks divine! I have always been a fan of banana bread (who am I kidding, I like anything that has the word bread as part of it) but this looks dreamy and healthy too. DANG. I too am totally impatient like you but not just in baking. In GENERAL. I'm working on it, well maybe not so much.
Just found your blog today and LOVE IT!!
