Last week was a crazy busy, yet wonderful week for me! My sweet 8 year old was baptized on Saturday and it was an absolutely beautiful day! However, the week leading up to that baptism was insane! I had a billion things to buy, a program to plan, a house to clean, food to buy/prepare and a baptism video to make! When my oldest was baptized, I made him a “baptism video” full of pictures of him from birth to age 8 set to music. It was a TON of work (way more than I ever thought it would be!), Continue Reading…
Things that Help Me Stay Motivated and Reach My Goals!
Hey guys!! Lately, my blog has been a lot about traveling and my crazy life! I’m wanting to get back to health, fitness, weight loss, motivation and all that fun stuff! I’m in a really good spot right now. As you know, (if you read my blog) I started counting macros a couple months ago and I love it. I’m not perfect at it, but it’s been so liberating to me!! It helps keep me motivated and committed to healthy living. Also, about a month or so ago I decided to just get to work and be 100% all in until Continue Reading…
Still Not Having Sugar + My Wonderful Trip to NYC!
Oh my word folks, I have been crazy this past month! I’ve been a travelin’ lady AND I hardly ever travel! It’s been fun, but it doesn’t make blogging easy! Just over a month ago, we went to Moab (Utah) so Kev and some of our friends could run a Half Marathon. THEN, we went to St. George (Utah) and Zion’s National Park with our little family 3 weeks ago. AND NOW, I just got back from NEW YORK CITY with a bunch of my High School friends! Oh you guys, it was the best trip evah!!!!! I’m going to tell Continue Reading…
Stickin’ to My Goals + our Fun trip to Saint George and Zion National Park!
Oh wow guys, I have neglected my little blog! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve intended to update, but haven’t. 🙁 We’ve had a LOT of things going on! It’s been soooo fun, but busy! First off, I want to update y’all on my macro counting/healthy diet/no treats thing that I’ve been doing! I’m loving it! I really do feel like I’ve found a balanced lifestyle that I could live with indefinitely. I love counting macros because it just makes sense to me. It is very logical and makes healthy eating measurable and tangible. There is no guessing Continue Reading…

Spring break is officially underway at our house! The kids are out of school until next Tuesday and we have some fun things planned. Wahoo! I love this time of year.

I also want to mention that I’ve been kicking some serious booty with my macro counting and workouts this week. Yay! After our crazy, sick week last week, it feels soooo good to get back to work. I’ve been following my new macro ratio; Continue Reading…
The Stomach Flu, Birthdays, a Fun Race + I’m Going to Lose Weight!
Well folks, this past week my life and healthy living mojo has been turned on it’s head! First off, we’ve had the stomach flu at our house…all week long! Ya. It entered our home Sunday afternoon and I think (fingers crossed) it might be officially gone now! My poor baby got sick on Sunday. It was the first time he’d ever had “the flu,” so it was so sad to see him so sick! On Tuesday morning, I awoke early with that awful gnawing feeling in my stomach. I was like, “Noooooo!” and was very much in denial for several Continue Reading…
