Just thought I’d do a quick post…. I took my little kidlets to McDonald’s yesterday, and since McDonald’s is the epitome of health, I thought I would tell y’all about it! LOL! They actually do have a few decent things on the menu though. However, I wasn’t too hungry yesterday, so I just stole a few of the kids fries. 😉 But….I’ve had a couple of their salads with grilled chicken and light dressing and they are pretty dang good, I must say. The fruit and walnut salad dealy thing isn’t too bad either. And, just a good ‘ol small Continue Reading…
My New Year’s Plan!
Well, I told you all I was cookin’ up a “plan” for the New Year! Yay! I finally put it all together. I’m basing it loosely off of Tosca Reno’s Eat-Clean Diet Stripped Plan. Love this book, BTW. I love all her books, however I really love this one. It’s geared toward those who are trying to lose the last 10 pounds, but it’s obviously helpful for anyone. She has a one month plan in the back of the book that inspired me to write my own. Her recipes are awesome, but a little too “gourmet” for me. I’m all Continue Reading…
Protein Packed Pancakes!
Happy Day After Christmas! I gotta say I think the day after Christmas is kind of depressing, but kind of relieving at the same time! I’m sad it’s over, but HAPPY I can get on with life and have a little more free time! Yay! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas BTW. 😉 ************************** I had a great day today! My sister came to my Bootcamp class at the gym with me tonight! She lives 1/2 hour away from me, so it was fun to have her come! It was a great workout, but the gym was pretty Continue Reading…
A Perfect Christmas Eve
I LOVE Christmas Eve….almost as much as Christmas! We had a great day. I sorta kinda got to sleep in. Yay. It was more like a “lay in bed and veg”, but it was very nice. I then had my favorite pre-exercise meal. A Banana w/ Peanut Butter! Yum! Then……I WENT ON A RUN!!!!!!!! Yes folks, I’m so excited about it! You see, I haven’t gone on a real run for about 3 1/2 months! Quick recap….I ran a ton in the spring and summer. Kev and I ran a really fun 12 person 200+ mile relay race in August Continue Reading…
Get’cha Head in the Game!
I went to one of my favorite classes at the gym last night. Kicked my can. Loved it. I LOVE exercising and one of the main reasons I love to exercise is it clears my HEAD! It is so good for my mental psyche! I’ve heard the effects of exercise on the mind are similar to the effects of anti-depressant drugs. I’ve definitely found this to be true. If I’m ever stressed out, worried, anxious, sad, angry….whatever… Exercise ALWAYS makes me feel better! Loooove it! **************************** Well, last night I was feeling really bugged at myself because I have been Continue Reading…
I Need Some Motivation!!
Do you need some extra motivation??? Ya, me too….especially this time of year! Geesh. Let me tell you why I need some extra motivation this week…. EXHIBIT A: We made candy houses up at my parent’s house on Sunday. It’s SO MUCH FUN and we do it every year, BUT there is candy everywhere!! EXHIBIT B: Okay, KEV brought home the Hershey’s from work (ya, he did!) and I bought a big ‘ol stack of KitKats to give to my kid’s male teachers and scout leaders and things (female teachers got girly stuff). It is tough for me to have Continue Reading…
