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...

August 31, 2017 - Our 8 Week Ultrasound

We had our 8 week ultrasound today!! I was super nervous. I pray for my little ones every day that they both will be healthy and grow stronger and be where they need to be at, at each milestone. Of course being a part of a support group you see a ton of miscarriage stories and you hear about abnormal phenomenons and it gets your mind to wander! The scariest thing I keep thinking about is the Vanishing Twin Syndrome . I’m so worried that we’re going to go to an appointment and one will be missing. So of course I was nervous about going today but I was also really excited to see my little jelly beans again. Ok so checkup update…. I am 8 weeks and 4 days today. Baby A is measuring at 8w4d (right on target) 19.9mm and the heartbeat was 171. Baby B is measuring at 8w5d 21.4mm (“he” was also the bigger baby last time too. Think we might have a chunky monkey on our hands!) The heartbeat was 177. We got to see Baby A “wave” at us. “He” was moving his little hand, and it ...
