Hey guys!! Lately, my blog has been a lot about traveling and my crazy life! I’m wanting to get back to health, fitness, weight loss, motivation and all that fun stuff! I’m in a really good spot right now. As you know, (if you read my blog) I started counting macros a couple months ago and I love it. I’m not perfect at it, but it’s been so liberating to me!! It helps keep me motivated and committed to healthy living. Also, about a month or so ago I decided to just get to work and be 100% all in until Continue Reading…
Calming Down and Getting Motivated
Apparently, I’ve become a “once a week” blogger!! Geesh. However, I’m happy to say that my “crazy, constantly running, pull out my hair, nutzo life” is officially calming down to just “normal crazy.” Phew. In fact, my less chaotic schedule and the beautiful spring weather we’ve been having has made me feel particularly motivated! I’m in the mood to clean my entire house, throw everything away, organize the crap out of every little thing, kill it in the gym and clean up the diet! Yay. I still DO NOT have enough hours in my day, but I’m going to do Continue Reading…
Refocusing, Recommiting, Planning and Goals!
Happy Monday! We had a nice, relaxing weekend. On Saturday, Kev and I took our older kids to see the new Hunger Games Mockingjay movie. I really liked it! I’ve never read the books, but my kiddos have. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all of the Hunger Games movies. They are so well done and so well cast. I love them! I also told my kids that sadly, the Hunger Games story offers a great view of history and government. The movie and characters seem so farfetched, but unfortunately things have happened and are happening in the world that closely resemble some Continue Reading…
Staying Committed When I Really Don’t Want To!
Happy July! Yay! Soooo, this morning I decided to make a big batch of Protein Packed Pancakes. I love them so much and could eat them every day! I love to make a bunch so I can freeze them. While they were cooking, my 10 year old walked into the kitchen and said….”Oooo, you’re making pancakes mom?!” I said, “Yes, but they’re protein pancakes.” I also reminded him of how yummy AND healthy they are! After asking if he wanted any, he quickly said, “No thanks, mom” and made himself something else to eat. A few minutes later my 15 Continue Reading…
Getting My Groove Back!
I had a rough, rough week last week! Man. I don’t know what my problem was. Let me back up for a sec…I loved my 7 day weight loss cleanse that I did a couple weeks ago. I felt great and will most definitely do it again. I’m working on getting all of the logistics of the cleanse organized so I can share it with all of you. I will try to get it posted this week if I can. 😉 Anyway, my cleanse ended last Sunday. So, on Monday I decided to have a small “free” day. I went Continue Reading…
If You Think You Don’t Have Time to Exercise….You’re RIGHT!
Exercise….. relieves stress improves mood and lifts depression! helps with weight loss (obviously) increases confidence and self esteem increases lifespan decreases risk of many diseases strengthens your heart! makes you cuter! 😉 SO WHY NOT MAKE IT A PRIORITY!? The #1 reason people DON’T exercise is because they don’t have the time! We are all so BUSY! The world we live in is so fast paced and constantly pulling us in a million different directions. We are NEVER going to find ourselves with a big chunk of time and think, “Hmmmmm, I have all this time and nothing to do….I Continue Reading…
