Chocolate Orange Chewy Seed Balls

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Since I've got a group of ladies currently doing a 14 day cleanse I'm going to post another healthy power snack today! Who doesn't love the taste of chocolate & orange together? For me it's a great little combo that reminds of my youth (those chocolates that you get during the holidays perhaps??). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">These Balls will hit the spot pre-workout (pair with a protein drink) or during an afternoon slump! <br /> </span><br />

Here is a short video to help keep you on track even over the weekend! Weekends can often sabotage your efforts when the schedule is not exactly 'your own' and family obligations may be priority, but with a few simple modifications and a quick workout you won't feel like you're lost control of everything that you're working towards (and won't feel the crash come Monday)!</div>

Simple and Effective Fitness - YOU can make it work!

Ok, this is completely NOT glamorous, but this is how I do fitness. 
Juggling my job, teaching and motherhood means I have not had the 
flexibility to go to the gym BUT I still put exercise on the top of my 
priority list. I have been exercising in my bedroom for 4 yrs. now, with
 this basic but effective equipment.<br />
 <img alt="" class="spotlight" height="300" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/10991219_1558060941109823_9048330021757059157_n.jpg?oh=93180c8c3ff8919549a8bbcd5082794f&oe=559B1720&__gda__=1438051735_72667f0ee960dfbdcc952d1dcb6409a7" width="400" /><br />
<br />
There is just no excuse - I can't 
afford to feel awful. Exercise gives me the boost I need, gets my happy 
hormones flowing, and makes me MORE productive. Not to mention that it 
improves my mood and how I interact with my family. I have LOTS of tips 
and tricks that I'm going to share with you along the way, and those of 
you doing my 'Mom on the Glow' Wholefood Cleanse will receive some great
 information in your e-books. Don't let anything stand in your way, just
 MAKE it happen! <a class="_58cn" data-ft="{"tn":"*N","type":104}" href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/getstrong?source=feed_text&story_id=1558061134443137"><span class="_58cl">‪</span></a><a class="_58cn" data-ft="{"tn":"*N","type":104}" href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/starttoday?source=feed_text&story_id=1558061134443137"><span class="_58cm"></span></a>
