Well life has been nuts the past few weeks and sadly this little blog has had to take a backseat. My diet and healthy living efforts have suffered a little bit too. Ugh. But, such is life! I have to check myself all of the time and remind myself what my priorities are! My faith and family will always be my #1. My overall health; mental, physical and spiritual is a close second. Keeping up with all of the demands of life and keeping up with a home and family has to be pretty high on the priority list too. Continue Reading…
Macro Counting, Intuitive Eating and my Kids are Growing Up!
Well hello my friends! The past few weeks I’ve been counting macros again and I really love it. <3 For those of you who aren’t aware of what macro counting is, it’s basically just keeping track of how much protein, fat and carbs you eat. It’s like counting calories, but a little more detailed. It can sound daunting and overwhelming and it is at first, but after a month or so it becomes a lot easier. I won’t go on and on about the logistics of counting macros in this post, but if you care to, you can read this Continue Reading…
Flourless, Gluten Free, Refined Sugar Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins!
Hello my friends. 🙂 If you’ve been reading my blog or following my Instagram Stories, you know I’ve been staying away from all the sugary stuff for a while now….almost 6 weeks to be exact. Woot! It’s actually been great for me! I’ve really been trying to make some permanent changes in my lifestyle. I’ve been trying to dig deep inside my brain and just change my entire thought process….for good. I’ve realized the past several years that my love of sugar is NOT worth all of the consequences it brings! I’ve cut out sugar in my life many times Continue Reading…
Grateful for Family + Our Wonderful Trip to San Diego
Well, we actually just got home from a quick trip to Oregon this weekend. Sadly, we went up there for a funeral. Kevin’s oldest brother passed away last week and has sure left a huge hole in our family. Kris was such a good and kind man. He was a large man with a deep voice and a huge heart to match. I have always been so amazed and inspired by all of the good things he did and the service he showed to so many people. He had a strong and firm testimony of God and he buoyed up and helped Continue Reading…
Busy Life + Loving How I Feel Without Sugar!
Well hello out there! I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend! <3 We have been busy (as usual) and dang it, it’s been a while since I’ve been able to hop on this blog and type! Ugh. Kev has been out of town since Wednesday and I’m feelin’ a bit weary. It is tough to be a single parent. I have so much respect for all of you single parents out there! Since I haven’t been able to blog for a while, I thought I’d share a few things our family has been doing the past week or Continue Reading…
A Happy Birthday + Cutting the Sugar
Well my friends I’m not doing so hot with the whole “blog once a week thang,” dang it. I’m trying….but the days just keep getting away from me!!! Well, I had a birthday last week! It was a very fun day. <3 Ya know, for some reason this year I kept forgetting that my birthday was coming up! Super weird. I usually really look forward to birthdays! It’s not like I was dreading it or anything, I just wasn’t really thinking about it! I’m wondering if subconsciously I was thinking, “Holy crap I’m getting old, so let’s just not think Continue Reading…
