Well folks, it’s late and I’m a crazy lady, but I wanted to hop on here and update y’all on my Oxygen Challenge! I have to say I LOVE it, LOVE it, LOVE it! Yes, it’s tough. Yes, it takes a lot of planning and prepping. Yes, it takes a lot of will power. Yes, I’ve had to make a lot of sacrifices. But, I LOVE IT! I feel great, motivated, healthy, happy, encouraged and excited to see where this journey will take me. Tomorrow will be my ONE WEEK mark. I’ve lost about 3 pounds, but my weight was Continue Reading…
Things are About to Get Pretty Serious ‘Round Here….
Hey guys! I’m happy to say that I will be starting the Oxygen Magazine Ultimate Oxygen Challenge TOMORROW! Eeeee! I’m really excited and more than ready for it! I am signed up for #TeamErin and can’t wait! They already sent us the meal plan and I love it! They will be sending over the workout plan tonight. I’m counting down the minutes….. The meal plan is pretty much what I thought it would be; lots of real, clean food with lots of protein! I can’t share the actual plan because it’s something I paid for (and they’re selling), but I Continue Reading…
A Wonderful Fourth, a Fun 10K Race and a Trip to Idaho!
Ummm folks, life has been NUTS! I keep thinking things will slow down, but they do not. Auuugh. We’ve been having a lot of fun this summer, but I’m hoping once summer is over, the kids go back to school, my “schedule” becomes more “schedule-ish” and the baby gets just a bit bigger, I might be able to actually accomplish some things and blog a bit more. BUT, until then, this “once a week” blog schedule will have to suffice. Lame. ********************* A Wonderful Fourth of July! I hope all of you who live in the United States had a Continue Reading…
My Healthy “Happy Medium” and a Great Father’s Day Weekend
I’m happy to say I’m still going strong with my healthy challenge and new “healthy brain shift!” It’s great and has been so life-changing for me. I think I’ve finally found the “perfect” long-term healthy diet and mindset for me! In regards to healthy eating, I’m an “all or nothing” kind of person. When I eat well, I…EAT…WELL. Period. End of story. I read every label, stay away from every bad thing in sight, stick to my guns and I….don’t….budge. However, when I’m done with a “healthy challenge” or if I indulge in one of my favorite junk foods, I Continue Reading…
Healthy Eating, Bargain Shopping and RUNNING!
Ummmm, ya. I’ve been totally MIA lately. We were out of town for a funeral last week and then Kev was out of town running a Relay Race over the weekend, so I was holdin’ down the fort by myself. Crazy life. I don’t know about the rest of you mothers out there, but now that summer’s in full force, I’m having a hard time finding any quiet time to put two thoughts together, let alone blog about it! It’s nuts. But, I’m happy to say I’ve been eating so well and my “Healthy Brain Shift” has stayed for the Continue Reading…
A Healthy Brain Shift and Good Food!
I hope you’re all enjoying this beautiful weekend! My kids are officially done with school and we’re all ready for SUMMER! I’m so happy to tell you guys that I’ve been eating SO well this week and I feel SO great! I’m also happy to tell you that I’ve felt a complete shift in my brain in how I view healthy eating and junk food. It’s quite miraculous, really. I sincerely have lost all interest in junk food! It still “sounds good” to me physically, but it’s lost it’s appeal to me mentally because I see it for what it Continue Reading…
