3 Ways to Reach Your Beginner Fitness Goals Right From Home

3 Ways to Reach Your Beginner Fitness Goals Right From Home

Every year when January rolls around I set these lofty fitness goals for myself that truthfully I have no chance at actually achieving. I practically set myself up for failure. Sure, it’s nice to dream big and I’m all for that, but when it comes to fitness and essentially changing my lifestyle, starting small is best for me. While it’s easy to say I’m going to join a gym cut out sugar and workout an hour a day is easy, the follow through is the hard part.When I set lofty goals I’m more likely to give up quicker. Setting beginner fitness goals is something that’s more my speed and gives me a better chance at actually sticking to them.

Coquito Cupcakes with Coquito Whipped Cream Icing

If you enjoy Coquito, then you’re going to love these Coquito Cupcakes with homemade Coquito Whipped Cream Icing!

Coquito Cupcakes

If there’s one drink that just scream the holidays to me, it’s Coquito. Coquito is a Puerto Rican Coconut Nog that is traditionally made around the holidays . Think eggnog without the egg and plenty of delicious coconut flavor. Oh and plenty of rum. Although, I’ve been known to make a rum free version as well for the kids to enjoy as well. It’s tradition for me to make every year. A few years ago we were sitting around in my kitchen when I decided to get a little creative. I whipped up these Coquito Cupcakes on a whim and they were devoured in minutes. I don’t know what took me so long to get this recipe up on the blog but a few weeks ago I made some Coquito to kick off the holiday season and decided it was time I shared these Coquito Cupcakes with all of you!  [Read more…] about Coquito Cupcakes with Coquito Whipped Cream Icing
