Hello friends. I hope you are all having a fantastic weekend! I started my morning off with one of my favorite classes at the gym. It’s a really tough muscle class and I have a love/hate relationship with it. 😉 I took this cheesy pic just before class started this morning… When I got there, I was disappointed to see we had a sub for an instructor ( I LOVE my regular instructor), but it turned out to be a really great class. I felt like I thoroughly worked every muscle in my body. Yay. Oh, and I put some Continue Reading…
Yummy Breakfast Food and Fun Family Outings
I went to Costco last night with Kev and loaded up on a bunch of yummy, healthy stuff. It’s always nice to have Kev along when buying ginormous bags of salt for the water softener, flour, sugar and all the millions of other things that make their way into my cart! Yay. Anyway, I bought a bunch of fresh produce last night, so this morning I decided some chocolate protein pancakes were in order. I also had a bunch of kids who wanted protein pancakes too. My recipe only makes 4-5 pancakes at a time, so I usually don’t make Continue Reading…
Bestowed Box Review
I was recently sent a fun box full of healthy goodies from Bestowed. Bestowed is a healthy food subscription box company that sends subscribers 5-7 food items, snacks or beverages each month. I love the concept and think it’s so fun to receive “healthy surprises” in the mail! I also love that I can try several healthy products and decide if I like them or not before I buy more. Awesome. This is the box I received… And here’s what was inside! So fun! It also included a pamphlet explaining what’s in the box, why they picked it and how Continue Reading…
Yummy Food, Friends and a Treadmill Workout!
I wasn’t able to blog too much last week, so I have a lot to share! Today’s post is going to be like drinking from a fire hose. 🙂 I’m still going strong with the “no-sugar challenge” and have no plans to quit! I hope those of you who are doing it with me are doing well too. I thought it was really hard the first 4-5 days, but since then it hasn’t been too bad. However, yesterday Kev’s brother came to visit and he brought donuts! Auuugh. Donuts are probably my #3 favorite “bad food” out there. They looked Continue Reading…
The Best Zucchini Noodles and Homemade Alfredo Sauce
‘Tis the season for zucchinis! I’ve been enjoying zucchini a lot this summer, but sadly I’ve had to buy it at the store!! Crazy, I know. We decided not to do a garden this year, and it’s just been so sad. 🙁 On a brighter note, I thought I would share my yummy zucchini noodle recipe and an easy Alfredo sauce recipe too! I’ve experimented with zucchini noodles a bit this past year and I think I’ve finally found the PERFECT way to make them! They are SO good! This dinner was SO yummy! I actually mixed some whole wheat Continue Reading…
Stickin’ to the Challenge + Healthy Snacks
I’m so sorry I haven’t been able to blog for several days; we’ve been so crazy. I officially started my “100 Days without Sugar Challenge” last Thursday (August 1st) along with many of y’all. I am so happy to have some of you guys join me in this challenge! Yay. I hope each of you who joined me are 100% committed! If you are someone who feels addicted to sugar (like me), I know it’s absolutely necessary to be strong and fully committed. I’m sorry to say that if you’re not 100% determined to succeed, you will FAIL. Sounds harsh, Continue Reading…
