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.

Nursery Sneak Peek

We’re still organizing the nursery so I didn't take full pictures of the room but here's a few sneak peek photos of what we have set up so far. Our room isn't really "themed" but it's painted mint and grey and so we kept those colors in mind went we bought accessories.   This is the girls' closet. We were so blessed to have friends and family give us hand me downs on top of all the new clothing items we received from the baby showers. They have more than enough, I just hope I'm able to take pictures of them in everything before they outgrow them!!   This is their changing table (before)  When we had our showers we just put everything up and out of the way but then I realized we needed to get a system going in here so we bought small baskets from the dollar store and were able to organize the little stuff. I actually love the way it came together (and after) Top is their changing pad - cover is from Babies R Us "woodland" them...

Centerpiece Craft - 4th of July

I've started preparing for my BBQ on July 4th and the first thing I knew I wanted to make was a centerpiece for the table where all the food is going to be laid out. Regardless of what's going on in Washington and who is President right now, I'm a diehard America fan. My father was in the Air Force, I grew up a Military Brat, tons of uncles and aunts and my grandparents have served... and my brother is currently serving the US Air Force so I'm a little obsessed with these patriotic holidays. I think I mentioned before that July 4th is becoming one of my favorites but anyway because of this I'm going all out for this BBQ so let's get into the craft. What You Will Need: A large clear jar or container Pinecones Red, White & Blue spray paint Fun, patriotic sprays 2 Cardboard boxes - to keep the mess to a minimum I found my pinecones about two years ago now from a floral shop on craigslist that was closing. They had thrown out everything and I was there...

Life Update - No April Fools

I sit here in a crowded room filled with papers, knick knacks, Christmas decorations, Wedding Planning materials and more sprawled out everywhere. I worked my last day at the corporate distribution center on Friday. Come Monday I'll be starting in a new-to-me building and it's bitter-sweet. I love the old DC, where there were only about 100 corporate employees there, everyone knew everybody personally and you could have personal items displayed on your desk without fear of something happening to them. With this move, I don't think I will be as lucky... Hence all the random items now laid out in my office.  I'm realizing I'm going to need to make a trip down to the storage unit to put away the boxes that came home from the office. But seeing all my packed up wedding items, I've also been thinking I really need to start promoting my wedding/event planning business. I finally received my event planning certificate in the mail on Thursday of this past week and it ...
