Well, I was in the middle of typing up this post last night when my 10 year old son came running in the house screaming, “I think I broke my arm!” This particular son of mine is very dramatic, so I wasn’t too worried initially. However, as soon as I saw his arm I thought, “Yep, it’s broken.” It was bent in a way that arms just aren’t supposed to bend. Eeee. Soooo, Kev and I ran him to the Instacare and they sent us to the ER. They let us know he broke his radius and ulna bones all Continue Reading…
Good Food, Great Finds and a Bunch of Random Things!
Well I’m still goin’ strong on my healthy diet and I’m lovin’ it! It’s definitely a reasonable lifestyle for me. 😉 I’ve been loading up on lots of real food like fruit, veggies, eggs, protein shakes, lean meats and whole grains (oats, quinoa and low carb tortillas mostly.) HOWEVER, I’ve definitely been dipping into the chocolate chip bag a little too much. But, I’ve decided I’m okay with that. I know I need to be careful because the calories in chocolate chips add up quick, but I also know they’re helping to keep me on the wagon and not feel Continue Reading…
Family Time, Crazy Life and Healthy Living
Well guys, today is my littlest baby’s birthday! He’s now a big 4 year old. 🙁 I can’t believe he is so old! Seriously. 🙁 🙁 🙁 We’ve had a fun day though. I took my two littlest kiddos to Carl’s Jr. (their favorite!) for lunch today. It was a Carls Jr./Green Burrito combo restaurant, so I ordered a Grilled Chicken Taco Salad. It was great, but sadly I didn’t take a picture. It was a pretty healthy salad, but it did come in a big fried taco shell. I only took a small bite of the shell and then Continue Reading…
Getting Back to Healthy Again
Well, we are back from our fun Thanksgiving trip to Oregon. We had a wonderful time, but it’s always so nice to be home. Last week was such a crazy week! Kev and I went on our little overnighter on Tuesday and then we were out of town the rest of the week. I pretty much lived “high on the hog” (no pun intended, but wait….I think that pun is very appropriately named, lol!) all week long! Kev’s mom made homemade bread, french toast with that homemade bread, amazing whole wheat waffles (I need to share the recipe with you Continue Reading…
What I Learned from My 100 Days Without Sugar Challenge
Well as y’all know, my “100 Days Without Sugar Challenge” ended last Friday. It was a tough challenge, but I really loved it and am so glad I did it! First off, just to recap….I started the challenge on August 1st and it ended November 8th. The only “official rule” of the challenge was to not have ANY sugary treats like chocolate, cake, soda, cookies, muffins, candy, etc. Yes, I still had foods that contained sugar. I just didn’t have these kinds of foods (with the exception of the chips)… Source Yes, it was tough to avoid these foods for Continue Reading…
