Happy Saturday and almost Memorial Day! I hope y’all have fun plans for the weekend. We’ve been crazy, crazy, crazy lately! I don’t know about all you other moms out there, but don’t you think the end of the school year is insane??? It’s a lot of fun, but I think we’re all ready for SUMMER to begin!!! I went on a couple field trips with my kid’s classes this week…. I went to the zoo with my kindergartner… Hogle Zoo is a wonderful zoo and I used to love going there as a kid! One of the only things Continue Reading…
Mother’s Day + Some Things I’ve been Loving Lately
Well, I’m still going strong with my “no treats” challenge (7 1/2 weeks now!) Woo hoo! However, even though I’ve been staying away from treats, I’ve sure been struggling with all the rest of the “healthy living stuff” the past couple weeks. Oy. Life has been crazy and I’ve found myself frazzled, a little stressed out and sleep deprived. It’s amazing what a dramatic effect sleep deprivation and craziness has on the body, health, mental state and stamina!!! My motivation is down the tubes and I’ve been craving every carb and sugary thing in sight! It’s interesting how the body Continue Reading…
Life Can Be Rough + A Fun Run and Chocolate Protein Egg Whites Recipe
Happy Friday everyone! I hope you’re all enjoying your day and have fun plans for the weekend! My heart is actually a little heavy today. We have some loved ones who are going through some very hard things. Their struggles and heartaches have been weighing heavily on my mind. I’ve also been following a heartbreaking story in our local news this past week. Life can be brutal sometimes. It’s always so hard when people I know and love go through hard things and are suffering. I’m sure you can all relate. It’s even hard for me to watch the news sometimes because of all Continue Reading…
How to Calculate Your Macros + My Short Workout Goals + Bunions
I’m still going strong on the macro counting and I love it so much! It’s interesting, the first week that I kinda sorta starting counting macros, I thought it was SOOOOO hard! Now, I don’t think it’s hard at all. I guess it’s just like learning anything new; it’s hard at first….until you learn it, figure it out, get good at it, etc. Awww, life lessons. The main thing I’m lovin’ about macro counting is that it takes all the guess work out. I KNOW I’m sticking within my calorie allotment and the percentage of macros I’ve laid out. It’s Continue Reading…
Soul Searching and Simplifying Life
Well, I hope you are all enjoying your 2016 so far. I’ve decided it’s going to be a very good year! I’ve been doing some soul searching and reevaluating of my life lately and it’s been a very good thing. 😉 I’ve told you guys many, many times before that I am a VERY “busy body” kind of person. I love to set goals, push myself, accomplish a lot and just go go go go go! It is so energizing and satisfying to me. I’m also a busy mom of six kids with a lot that needs to get done Continue Reading…
A Fun Weekend + I Think I’m Eating Too Much Food!
Well, I have a funny little story to share with you guys! It might not be funny to all y’all and it might be one of those “you had to be there” stories, but I’ve been chuckling about it all day! My 5 year old was playing with a small piece of Minky-type fabric today. He put it on the baby’s head and the baby seemed to like it! He kept it on his head for a while and if it happened to fall off, then big brother made sure to put it back on. Anyway, what made me laugh Continue Reading…
