So…….when I’m feeling ambitious, I love to sit down with my stack of circulars from all the local grocery stores and make a list of all the things I want. Then I go over to good ‘ol Walmart and Price Match.
Yes, I’m a bargain shopper! 🙂
I try not to do too many at a time though because I know it’s a little obnoxious. But, hey it’s also pretty awesome too. 😉
Here I am pretty proud of my 5 dozen eggs for $5.89 (usually $9.50ish.) Woo Hoo.
Excuse my psychopathic smile. It’d been a long day and I was beat!
Once in a while I buy the Omega 3 eggs or free range eggs, but most of the time I just buy good ‘ol regular eggs. I eat a bazillion of them and since I’m raising 5 kids, I gotta pick and choose the food items I want to spend more on.
Eggs didn’t make the list. 🙁
I’ve heard that Omega 3 eggs are pretty dang awesome though, so if you wanna splurge, it’s probably worth it.

We’ve had a busy, busy day. I went to a 7:00 AM cardio class with my friend. This class is INSANE. I kind of have a love/hate relationship with it. It’s ALL OUT cardio for an hour! Sprints, tuck jumps, burpees, jump squats, jump ropes, etc…..with NO BREAKS. It’s really crazy.
When the class was over, my friend and I looked at each other and said, “Ya, that kind of…..sucked.” I know it’s so good for me though, so I keep on going.
After my class, I spent the rest of the morning and afternoon at a dance competition for my daughter. It was fun, but made for a VERY LONG day, especially since we were trying to keep an (almost) 2 year old and an (almost) 4 year old entertained the whole time. Joy.

Here’s a couple dinners we’ve had the past couple nights…
Tacos!
I love tacos! They are a staple in our home. Actually they aren’t my favorite, but all my kids LOVE them and Kev LOVES them too. They also take me about 10 minutes to make and I can make them healthy. So, I LOVE them! I just had one taco on a low-carb tortilla. Fat free refried beans, taco meat, cottage cheese, a little shredded cheddar, lettuce and salsa! It was pretty yummy.
Protein pancakes and eggs!
Last night, I made whole wheat waffles and eggs for the kids and I pulled out a couple protein pancakes I had in the freezer for me. Love it. Easy, no nonsense and my kids love them.
I really love these protein pancakes. They aren’t as light and fluffy as regular pancakes, but they are really good. It kind of reminded me of strawberry shortcake! I topped them with almond butter, strawberries and a little agave. I finished up the scrambled eggs I made and topped them with low sugar ketchup. I was stuffed and this felt indulgent. The perfect Friday night dinner.
Well, I hope you are all having a great weekend!!! Til next time!
Melanie… where do you find long sleeve shirts, like the brown one you are wearing?? I need some, too!! – Jeanne
I’m a big fan of basic, comfy shirts. The one I have on is from a company called Modbe. Sadly, they were bought out by another company and I don’t like their clothes quite as much now. However, there are a bunch of other similar companies that sell similar stuff that I love. They are all the rage in Utah. Some of my favs are Shade, Mod Bod and Down East. They all sell great, basic, staple clothes. I really love their shirts because they are longer length and more flattering. Most of their basic shirts are a little tighter though so you can layer them. So, I usually buy a size up when I’m buying them to wear on their own. Good luck!!!
Your morning cardio class would kill me I think! Lol I love those pancakes Mel and tacos have become a staple in our own as well! The shredded chciken via crock pot is thanks to you and I make my own seasoning now. 🙂
Yay Jenzy! I’m so happy to hear that!!! I’m so amazed and impressed by your weight loss! Thanks for being such an inspiration to me. Oh, and that class KILLS me too. 😉
