Well, I’ve been lovin’ this whole “healthy challenge” thing. Yay. It’s really helped me to get back on track. The only thing I really have to do to stick with my healthy challenge is not eat treats and get 7 hours+ of sleep a night. So far, so good. However, what I really love about this healthy challenge is it makes me want to be healthy in all aspects of my life! It makes me want to eat better in general and stick to my exercise plan. I love it. It’s nice to have a little support system too. It Continue Reading…
Happy Easter + Getting Ready for the Challenge!
Happy Easter everyone! I hope you’ve all had a wonderful day! I also hope you’ve enjoyed some very yummy Easter treats! I think Easter candy is the best candy all year round. Love it! I’m enjoying the end of our Robin Eggs right now…. They are making my tummy feel blah, but they taste very good goin’ down! LOL! I’m letting myself enjoy whatever candy I want today because….1) It’s Easter! and 2) My little Healthy Challenge thingy starts tomorrow!!! Woo hoo. I’ll talk more about that in a minute. For now I want to post a little bit about Continue Reading…
Lessons Learned While Being a Sick Lady!
Ummmmm, ya. If you read the title of this post and several of my most recent posts, you will see that my life has um, well, uhhh sucked a little bit lately. “Sucked” is a word I ask my children not to use, but I use it fully and proudly right now. LOL. I can’t think of a more fitting word to sum up my life as of late. 😉 However, being the eternal optimist that I am, I know that “The night is always darkest just before the dawn!” It’s gettin’ pretty dark in here…. I’m still very happy Continue Reading…
A Fun Health Challenge + Crazy Life!
Well my life has been insanely insane….and it’s getting very OLD! Seriously. I’m just barely keepin’ my head above water. I’ve still been trying to eat well and exercise, but I haven’t been as stalwart as I should. I’ve been doing better on the weekdays and then I kind of fall apart on the weekends. It’s been frustrating. However, I’m happy to say life should be calming down a bit now. Halle-freakin-lujah! I’m also happy to say I am going to shape up BIG TIME! No more slackin’ for me! A friend of mine (thanks Rachel!!) just invited me to Continue Reading…
Coconut Chia Protein Balls!
Hey y’all! I have a ton going on this weekend, but thought I would share a very yummy recipe! I really love Protein Balls! They are yummy, healthy and a perfect little snack. I love to eat them just before a workout or run. They give me a little energy without making me want to hurl. 🙂 They are perfect just after a workout as well. I also love them when I’m having a sweet tooth craving! They taste just like a treat, but without the guilt! What’s not to love!??? A while back I posted a recipe for Peanut Continue Reading…
Same Old, Same Old Healthy Stuff!
Well, I’ve been eating really well since we came home from our vacation. Yay. I can’t tell you how much better healthy food makes me feel! I’m always amazed. When I eat junk food for a few days+, I can noticeably tell a difference. I feel sluggish and tired AND I look fatter! I really do. My body seems to bloat up when I eat too much sugar. Sad, but true. On the flip side, when I start eating healthy again (after eating junk for a few days), I feel happier and more energetic AND the water weight comes off Continue Reading…
