Hey guys. I hope you are all having a wonderful Thursday! I had a really crazy week last week, so I’ve been trying to calm down and get back into my normal healthy groove. Yay. I always love starting off my day with a yummy, healthy breakfast. I had these yummy chocolate protein pancakes this morning… I had a bunch of them in the freezer, so I just popped these in the toaster. Super easy and super yum. I topped them with a light smear of natural peanut butter, strawberries and sugar-free syrup. I had this for breakfast yesterday… 1/3 Continue Reading…
An Interview and The Color Run
Hey guys! I hope you all had a wonderful Memorial Day. We had a fun weekend! Kev’s parents came to stay with us for a few days and we enjoyed spending time with them. We had fun playing games, chatting, enjoying yummy food and just spending time together. My 5 year old cried as they drove away this morning. 🙁 So sweet. On another note, I had the opportunity to be interviewed by Mother and Fitness.com recently. They asked me some questions about what I love about running and how I’m able to live a healthy lifestyle with 5 kids. Continue Reading…
Costco and Babybel Cheese
First things first….Happy Friday y’all! I LOVE Fridays! Woo hoo. Secondly, I just need to say that I LOVE Costco SO much! I buy so many wonderful things there! They always have the top quality, great products and good deals. Yay. We went there the other day and I am now the proud owner of a new Shark Navigator Professional Vacuum! Our old vacuum died the other day. 🙁 So, I decided to ask my Facebook friends what kind of vacuum they would recommend. Most of them recommended the Dyson, but a bunch of other people recommended the Shark. I Continue Reading…
A Few Fun Little Tidbits
I have a few random tidbits to share with y’all today. An Awesome Tip…. I just discovered the best little tip ever! I LOVE natural peanut butter, but I don’t love the oil that separates and settles on the top. It’s a royal pain to mix it in and I always end up making a mess. It also seems that when I near the bottom of the jar, the peanut butter is a little dry because the oil didn’t get mixed in thoroughly enough. So, do ya wanna know a simple trick that will fix all of your “peanut butter Continue Reading…
Running and Good Food!
I went on a run this morning and it was the perfect way to start out my Friday! My 14 year old doesn’t go to school until 9:50 on Fridays, so it’s a great time for me to run. I also like to get my workout done first thing in the morning on Fridays and Saturdays or else it just doesn’t happen. I ran 4.2 miles and the weather was just perfect. It was about 60 degrees with a slight breeze. Perfect. My sweet puppy dog, Jimmer hates it when I go running. As soon as I put my shoes Continue Reading…
Healthier Banana Bread and Other Fun Stuff
We have reason to rejoice at our house…my 14 year old got a haircut! We’ve been wanting him to get a haircut for quite some time, but he was pretty attached to the “shaggy, homeless look”, lol. I’ve been reminding him every day how handsome he looks now. Yay. **************************** Well, I’ve still been sorta, kinda following Jackie Warner’s diet plan. I’ve done really well on the weekdays, but I’ve loosened up (a little too much!) on the weekends. Dang it. I also haven’t been eating exactly what’s in her book. I’ve eaten a lot of it, but I’ve also Continue Reading…
