Last week of my Vegetarian Lifestyle

This week has been especially hard for me to diet. 

I hurt my back at the beginning of the week and haven't felt good enough to go to the gym. Add that to my cheat day last week and I feel so blah right now.  I didn't lose any weight this week either and that was really discouraging to me. I feel stuck and I probably shouldn't it's only been a month since eating healthy and I have seen a noticeable difference in my energy and strength. But I just feel sick.

The highlight of my week was receiving my trim healthy mama cookbook. I'm excited to get crackin on these healthy recipes (with meat). I'm more excited to reintroduce my body to meat - the healthy way. Chicken here I come!


I didn't realize so many of my friends in Albuquerque and Chicago are on this THM plan. One of my friends from ABQ invited me to the group thinking I would enjoy it. I'm so glad she did because I see all these wonderful women losing weight and finally looking like they want to. It's such an amazing thing to watch someone's story unfold and I feel so empowered and lifted when I read what the plan is doing for them. Another one of my friends, this time from Chicago, is allowing me to borrow the THM plan book so I can read up and really understand the healthy lifestyle not JUST the recipes. I'm so excited. I love trying new things and exploring new ideas. I really am one of those people who will try something once (ask me about my lamb balls adventure).
 
I'm looking forward to starting this journey and finding new delicious recipes. Continue to follow me on my healthy lifestyle plan because I'm still in the game Biggest Loser at work (ends March 24) and I want to be as close to my goal weight as possible by then. I need to lose 36 lbs still.

Free Samples and Offers

I wanted to get this out soon as possible as I know the Holidays are upon us and everyone is looking to save some money this time of year. This post is geared towards parents of multiples but if you have singletons please feel free to reach out to the companies below too for some free samples and offers, but please be aware some offers might not apply to you. If you’re like me then the minute your babies were born you were online looking at deals and ways to save money. I came across a lot of blog posts and articles stating if you contact this company then they will send you this product free. I thought how true is this? So I put them to the test. I took many lists from the internet and combined it into one giant list of baby product companies; I then emailed and mailed each company requesting free samples due to the birth of my twin girls. Below you will find the responses I received. Some companies were great, while others were….off putting. I included coupon codes I found o

Wedding Planner - Emergency Bridal Kit

One question I get often as a Wedding Planner is "What is in my Emergency Bridal Kit?" As a built in service for my brides I provide them an Emergency Bridal Kit on the day of their wedding. This kit includes personal care products, first aid, pain relievers, tools - anything you think you MIGHT need on the day of the wedding. These kits are custom made for each bride as no wedding is ever truly the same but most kits have a common core list of items. Because I have a wedding today I thought it would be a great idea to show you what's in Today's Bride's Emergency Kit.  Tools: Pliers Wire Cutters Measuring Tape Screw Drivers of various sizes (Flat Head & Phillips) Hammer  &/or Mallet It's amazing how many times you can say "I wish I had a screw driver or tape measure with me for this..." It's better to just be prepared because you never know what you'll be called to do or what will need some fixing. Personal

October 6, 2017 - The Whole World Now Knows We Are Pregnant!

Wow. This past week has been crazy. We finally told the world that we’re expecting our babies this coming spring and I’ve receiving nothing but congratulations all week long. I strategically planned out our announcement as I’m not one for personal attention. I tend to shy away and knew I would need a week of a few “congratulations” and hugs here and there before I really started to see people and be overwhelmed by hugs and questions, etc. The internet is different, I have time to respond and think about how I’m going to answer certain questions but when you’re face to face with someone you don’t have a lot of time to think and it at times can make me anxious. Any way the cat is out of the bag and everyone knows now and I’m excited to be sharing my journey now publicly. I love posting pictures and writing updates. Even if people weren’t interested in our story I think it’s a nice keepsake to look back on and remember the journey it took to get to this point and the enjoyment of pregnan
