I’m so excited to EAT FRUIT today! Wahoo! I’ve been on a “healthy cleanse” diet the past couple of weeks and today we get to add in fruit. I’m so happy about it. 🙂 I’m sorry to say the first fruit I ate was half of an overripe banana. Ewww. I ate my typical (weird healthy cleanse) breakfast this morning; eggs + chicken and guac. I didn’t take a pic today, but here’s a pic from a couple days ago, This breakfast is actually very tasty, albeit very unorthodox! After breakfast, I went to my 9:00 class at the gym.

Protein Balls Never Tasted So Good!
First off, I have to post a very cute picture… These two little cuties have been in their Halloween costumes for 3 days straight! The first thing my 2 year old says in the morning is, “I wanna be HULK!,” and my 4 year old thinks he really IS Captain America. It’s adorable and I just want to eat them both up all day long. I wish I could just freeze them and have a perma 2 year old and 4 year old forever. They are so much fun. ********************** Moving on. I’m still going strong with my little diet Continue Reading…
A Fun Race + Healthy Food!
I had the funkiest breakfast EVER this morning… Two hard boiled eggs (mostly just the whites), chicken and cocoa roast almonds! Ya. Weird. I went to the gym this morning and wanted to grab something quick I could eat in the car. Soooo, I came up with this! It was actually pretty good! When I got home, I made myself a yummy protein shake (sorry, no pic.) Later on, I baked a bunch of Yukon Gold potatoes and sweet potatoes. Here’s what Kev and I did with them…. Kev’s plate. He took a Yukon Gold potato (yes, it’s under there) Continue Reading…
A Fun, Busy Weekend!
Well, we’ve had a crazy past few days!! On Thursday we took the kids down to St. George, Utah (about 300 miles south of Salt Lake City) for a fun little family trip! The main reason we went down there was for the St. George Marathon, which Kev was supposed to run with his brother. Unfortunately, he’s been suffering from multiple running injuries (IT Band AND Achilles….yikes!), so he wasn’t able to run. Poor guy. I feel so bad for him because he was doing SO SO awesome on his training. He was WAY ahead of schedule and had done Continue Reading…
Chocolate Protein Pancakes
K, these pancakes are the bomb! I love them so much. I’ve been having them for breakfast 4-5 days a week for the past month. I’m not sick of them yet and I don’t think I’ll ever be! There are a million Protein Pancake recipes out there. I’ve tried several and loved them all. Soooo, several months ago I decided to look for a Chocolate Protein Pancake recipe. After searching a while, I was sad I couldn’t find any that were very “chocolately!” Most of the recipes out there just use chocolate protein powder and call it good. Well…..that’s not Continue Reading…
Happy New Year!!
I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year’s holiday! We celebrated the New Year up at my parent’s house. They’ve had a New Year’s Eve party at their house every year for as long as I can remember! A bunch of my aunts, uncles and cousins come out and we all talk, laugh and eat food! It’s always a lot of fun. It’s so funny though because the party usually ends around 10:00 or 10:30 because everyone wants to go home early and avoid a lot of the traffic. Sooooo, we usually “bring in the New Year” along with those Continue Reading…
