I love health and fitness! I love getting a good night’s sleep! I love eating well and discovering new healthy recipes! I love getting a good workout! I love pushing myself and achieving my goals! YAY! But, even though I love it….it is NOT easy! It seems like I’ll do really well for a while….I’ll eat perfectly and get all my workouts in. I’ll even get several good night’s sleep….in a row (gasp!) I’ll start to feel really good. I’ll see results on the scale and in how my clothes fit. I’ll have more energy, feel more “in control”, feel Continue Reading…
Homemade Pizza & Pizza Sauce!
First off, I have to tell you I’ve been suffering from Pink Eye the past couple of days. If you don’t know what Pink Eye is, you can click here to read all about it if you so desire. It is so not fun! My two older boys had it last week and they lovingly passed it on to me! I started getting it in one eye on Monday. It was kind of funny because that one eye became so swollen that it looked like it was about half the size of my other eye. It also looked like it Continue Reading…
Back to School…and Order!
Oh my WORD….I’m so sorry I’ve been neglecting this little blog! Yes, I’m still alive!! I’ve decided I need about 14 more hours each day….without kids….and with no distractions. Wouldn’t that be nice?? I think so. ***************************** Well, my world has been rocked this past week! The kids started back up to school. We had a wonderful summer, but I’m ready for a little more structure and order ’round here. I’ve had to go back to waking up at 6:30 every morning again. I know that’s not early to most of you, but it’s early to ME! But, y’all would Continue Reading…
A Little Strawberry Love
I bought myself a big ‘ol bag of frozen strawberries from Costco the other day. They are amazingly huge, beautiful, big red strawberries! I am impressed. So, I’ve been busy cookin’ up some yummy strawberry goodness! I’ve made my Strawberry Milkshake Protein Shake a couple times. Man, is it good! Seriously, if you close your eyes while drinking it (so you won’t see the pretty greenish-brownish color), you’ll think you’re drinking a real Strawberry Milkshake! I’m serious! The magic is in the tablespoon of Sugar-free vanilla pudding mix! It really thickens it up and gives it a yummy, yummy flavor! Continue Reading…
Banana Bread Protein Pancakes!
I’ve decided I must be gettin’ old. On Wednesday we took the kids to Lagoon (our local Amusement Park) to enjoy the last little bit of summer we have left. We spent the whole day there (11:00 AM-10:00 PM) and just played and played and played! My sister and her kids met us there and spent most of the day with us too. We had such a great time. I went on several dinky rides with the kids and Kev and I traded off going on some of the bigger rides with the big kids. We were even able to Continue Reading…
Crazy Workouts + Spinach, Watermelon, Chia Seed Protein Shake!
I have had the craziest workout week! My favorite gym instructor (I go to her class twice a week) has been on vacation and my schedule’s been so crazy that I’ve had to miss some of my regular classes. But, whenever I can’t make one of my regular classes, I always try to go to a different class. So, this past week I’ve tried a lot of new classes! I’ve decided I still love all my regular classes the best! Seriously, my instructors have got to be some of the best instructors on the planet. No kidding. FYI, if you Continue Reading…
