Sharing my life from son up 'til son down
I can't tell you how many times I have opened the "create new post" window to write this, and ended up walking away from my computer at a loss for words. With the new year just around the corner, of course I am always brought back to the place I was this exact time two years ago. Maybe you are reading this right now, with similar feelings I was having at that time in my life. Why am I always ... [ Read More ]
Well it's been about 3.5 months since I posted my original plans to "Change Things Up". I had reached a plateau in my fitness goals, and I knew it was time to step out of my comfort zone and do something different. I found online coach Leah Peters on Instagram, and for just $50 she gave me a very in-depth consultation that involved tracking my macro-nutrients and completely changing how I was ... [ Read More ]
Did everyone have a great weekend?? I sure hope so! Ours started on Friday morning when Greg surprised the boys with a day off from work to head to Disneyland as a family. We had a great morning walking around, saying hello to some of the characters, hopping on a few rides and seeing all the fun Halloween decorations. We also did a pit stop in Downtown Disney so the boys could build their ... [ Read More ]
Hellooooo...Is anyone still out there? I mean why read a blog when the person never posts on it anymore right? I'm here, I'm here and I promise my silence has been warranted.

So let's call it 5-6 years since we have travelled ... [ Read More ]

Linking up today with Becky from Olives 'n Wine for a Treat Yourself Tuesday post. TYT has easily become one of my favorite link-ups to participate in because it's such a simple concept that we often overlook....it's ok to treat yourself! Take time for yourself, indulge in a few extra things here and there, do things that make you happy...and do these things free of guilt because we all deserve ... [ Read More ]
I wanted to write this post because one of the questions I get e-mailed about the most is...what did you do when you finished the 24 Day Challenge? When I answer this question I normally start by asking what the person's goals are now that they have kick started their weight loss. Do they want to lose more weight, more inches, gain muscle, increase their endurance, see more muscle ... [ Read More ]
Holy smokes you guys...Valentine's Day + my birthday + plus a weekend + falling off the clean eating wagon= total stomach disaster! I think I spent most of yesterday dragging myself along, wanting to sleep, and listening to my stomach talk to me. Don't get me wrong, I had such an awesome time but I sure paid for it! I will show you some of my indulgences on tomorrow's Treat Yourself ... [ Read More ]

I hope you all had a great weekend...it sounded like it was a cold or snowy one by a lot of you! I hope I can send some warm weather to those of you who are in need of it. If it doesn't make it your way the door is always open for a visit to So Cal :) We had a really nice weekend. It was a great mix of fun and productivity.
