Sharing my life from son up 'til son down
It's been awhile since I have written about my progress using Advocare products. Since I first started the 24 Day Challenge back in January, I have had a lot of people give it a try along side me. It's been awesome seeing everyone's progress, sharing recipes and workouts, and just motivating each other along the way. I often get asked "so, what do you do after the 24 days is over?" and I ...

Although I haven't been keeping up with my Monday Meal Plans via the blog, they are always ongoing in our home. I feel like our household has been upside down the last few weeks, but the one thing that remains constant and simple to maintain is what we are eating. I look forward to making dinner because there is some organization to it which seems to be lacking from the rest of my day. Here ... [ Read More ]
I don't know about you guys but I am totally dragging this Monday! We had such a fun weekend that I think I am just feeling bummed that's it over. Or maybe it's because we were on the constant go go go, and my exhaustion is finally catching up with me. Either way, my eyelids are feeling heavy while I type this. Friday was in the 80s and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. There was a nice ... [ Read More ]
I'm happy today is hump day, because I'm really hoping to get over it and never look back. Monday was a really hard day in our house, and well...in our country. The day just wasn't going as planned, the boys were all out of sorts, no one was napping, I don't think we got out of our PJs let alone the house. And then I saw the news of what happened in Boston... in real time, via friends who ... [ Read More ]
On Monday I stumbled across a Facebook friend's fitness blog. 1- she looks INCREDIBLE (and recently had a baby) and 2-she is a fitness instructor and challenged her readers/clients to set a goal for themselves...a huge goal, something out of their comfort zone, and make it happen! It made me think for a second, and then I let it sit in the back of my head for the rest of the day since I wasn't ... [ Read More ]
Although this is posting on a Tuesday I wrote it on a Monday night, so technically I can still call it a "Meal Plan Monday" right? We got in a lot of exercise this weekend, but we also caved to some bad eating. Between a date night on Friday and all the Easter food and candy I'd give us about a 6 out of 10 on the clean eating scale. Our meals themselves were actually very healthy, it was what ...

This week is looking a little different when it comes to my workout schedule. Typically Shane goes down for a nap at 9:00am and I will do the elliptical in the garage while Nathan plays outside with me. This has worked out so great! I can workout for 45 minutes, Nathan gets to play in the yard, and I still get time to shower after and then we head out for the day. Just when I was really ... [ Read More ]
I've been seeing Workout Wednesdays floating around in the blog world (this is probably ancient news, but I'm admittedly late to the Blogging Party). I am constantly seeking out new inspiration when it comes to working out, especially advice from other busy moms. I love seeing healthy recipes, workout tips, weekly progress, fitness milestones being hit...it's all so inspiring to me and gets my ... [ Read More ]
I know every family runs dinner time differently in their household, but around here I like to have every day planned out ahead of time. I'm terrible at doing laundry, you will never find me scrubbing anything, I don't think I've ever emptied a trash can and our bed is only made when I know people are coming over. Crafty? Sure! Domestic? Not even close. But I will make an exception when it ... [ Read More ]
Tired of the same old boring salad for lunch? I was too, and wanted to try something a little different yesterday. I am constantly eating fruit throughout the day, but I'm not sure why I never thought to put some on my salad come lunch time! This was such a nice change to my usual all veggie salad and will become a regular addition to my weekly lunches! It was SO good I think I'll be having it ... [ Read More ]
