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...

My God Answers Prayer

I thought it might be fun to do a small series about what my God is. This post will just be verses about how God answers prayers and for us to use as a great reminder. Feel free to comment below which verses have helped you remember that God answers your prayers (maybe not always in the way you were asking) or a story about how He has answered. Psalm 86: 6 - 7 Give ear, O Lord, unto my prayer and attend to the voice of my supplications. I will call upon thee for thou wilt answer me. Psalm 116:1 - 2 I love the Lord because he ahth heard my voice and my supplications. Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore I will call upon him as long as I live. Psalm 138:3 In the day when I cried thou answered me, and strengthened me with strength in my soul. Jeremiah 33:3 Call unto me and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. 1 Peter 3:12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous and his ears are open unto their prayers ...
