Hello, hello! <3 I must say that I am in a very interesting spot health-wise right now. I told you guys that I got way off track in December. We were all sick for about 2 1/2 weeks. I missed a ton of workouts. My diet was just ho-hum. THEN, when I did start to feel better, it was about a week before Christmas and I just DID NOT feel like being hardcore in regards to health and fitness, so I just coasted. I tried to get back on track the day after Christmas, but quickly fell apart as all Continue Reading…
Family Time + The Makings of my Go-To Green Smoothie
Hello my friends! We had a very busy week last week. We had a lot of family come into town for my uncle’s funeral, so my mom had a fun shindig at her house the night before with a bunch of my aunts, uncles and cousins. It was so nice to see relatives that I hadn’t seen in a long time and get reacquainted with cousins that I barely even knew. It was wonderful! Since all of my siblings were in town (one lives in California, one in Connecticut and one in Georgia), we decided to take a quick pic. Continue Reading…
Progress on my Goals + I Love President Thomas S. Monson
Well hello out there! 🙂 I hope you are all enjoying 2018 so far. I’ve definitely been loving the slower pace. We finally put away all of the Christmas stuff a few days ago. I think that is the longest I’ve ever kept it up! I really enjoyed having it up this year, but now that it’s all put away, I’m loving my “naked” house. Really, my house looks so empty now! It makes me want to clean and organize everything and paint all my walls! I’m actually hoping now that Christmas is over, I can actually do just that. Continue Reading…
My Goals for 2018 + We had a Wonderful Christmas!
Happy happy New Year! 🙂 I really love this time of year! I’m not a huge fan of January weather, but I love the calmness, clarity, motivation and fresh start that January brings. <3 I love taking the opportunity to reevaluate my life, set some goals, shape up a few things and get to work! My December was so so so crappy as far as health and fitness goes! Holy Hannah. I’m definitely feeling extra fluffy. It’s okay though because it’s also helping me to feel motivated and happy to get back to work. I went to the gym tonight Continue Reading…
Christmas Fun + Trying to Still Stay Mindful
Christmas is in just a few days!! Eeeee. I absolutely love this time of year. I love the Christmas season and everything that goes along with it. It really is magical. <3 However, it is dang freaking busy as well. I’m not a huge fan of that. 🙁 It also doesn’t mesh well with the whole “trying to live a healthy lifestyle” thing. Case in point, I went to a High School Drill Team party with my daughter last night and there were SO MANY treats!!! Ahhhh. I seriously don’t think I’ve ever been to a party with that many Continue Reading…
Thanksgiving + Living a Healthy Lifestyle throughout the Years!
Well holy cow, it’s been a looooonnnnng time! Sorry ’bout that. 🙁 I have been so sick the past week and a half! I’m not sure if it’s a mega cold or the flu, but it has kicked my can. Kev and 2 of our kids were also sick, but they’re all doing pretty well now. I’m doing much better, but it seems like it’s just taken forever to completely go away! I haven’t been to the gym in over 2 weeks!!! It’s seriously killing me. I’ve been trying to be patient and rest and recoup, but I just want Continue Reading…
