Hey everyone! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wanted to hop on the computer lately and update the blog…..but haven’t! I keep thinking when life calms down a bit, I’ll be able to blog more often and more consistently, but life just never seems to calm down! So, I’ve somehow learned to just squeeze things in, cut out what I can and keep on doggie paddling through life. Ha. Over the weekend, I made a quick trip to Costco. I found this awesomeness and was so excited about it…. Costco is THE BOMB and I’m always so impressed Continue Reading…
Crazy, Fun Life + a Killer Shoulder/Cardio Workout!
I have a bunch of random things to share with y’all tonight! First off, we had a nice weekend. Kev and I (and the baby!) were able to sneak away to a movie on Friday night. We went to see Interstellar, starring Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway. I can pretty much sum up this movie in about two words…. Holy. Crap. It was very well done, very interesting, very deep and VERY thought provoking, BUT I’ve decided they need to offer a “dumbed down” version for me. 😉 I was a little confused and lost throughout a lot of it Continue Reading…
An Immune Boosting Smoothie, Fun Stuff + My Recipe was Featured on Today.com!
Happy FRIDAY!!! I’m sorry to say, we have a little cold bug going around at our house…..and, I think I’m becoming the next victim. Auuughh! It’s not terrible, but I’ve just been feeling tired, achy, run down, scratchy throaty and sniffly nose-ish. Sooo, I’ve been trying to get more sleep and load up on vitamin C. I also decided to make myself an Immune Boosting Smoothie this morning! It turned out yummy and made me feel a little better, even if it was just a placebo effect. The cold liquid soothed my scratchy, sore throat too. Immune Boosting Smoothie 2 Continue Reading…
Weight Loss (Woo Hoo!) and a Fun Halloween Weekend!
Happy Monday everyone! Today is also November 3rd, which is the 3 week mark on my little low-carb diet challenge. From the beginning, I told myself that on November 3rd, I would analyze things and see if I wanted to continue or change things up a bit. First off, I’m happy to say that I did a VERY awesome job adhering to the goals I made for myself. Woo hoo! I really stuck to my guns and am SO happy I did. I ate SO MANY veggies and I loved it! I ate them with almost every meal and I Continue Reading…

His heart rate and oxygen Continue Reading…
Stickin’ to the Plan + a Fun Trip to Idaho Falls
Hey, hey, hey! I’m happy to say I’m still goin’ strong with my low-carb diet. I really love it, although I’m getting a little sick of eating so many of the same things. I’m eating a TON of veggies, eggs, nuts, chicken, salads, protein pudding, protein shakes and a little cheese. Here are some of the positive things I’ve been experiencing on this diet: I don’t really have a lot of cravings, which is nice. Carbs and junk food always sound good (I’m sure they always will!), but I don’t crave them and it’s not too hard to stay away Continue Reading…
