Some is better than none

So sometimes life happens and we get busy and things fall to the backburner. I haven't written in 11 days!! Yikes - we have a lot to catch up on! Since last time we have been out of town and played at a really cool playground that was developed for all kids - so kids with disabilities could have the same fun as a child without a disability. It was amazing and really struck my heart since I occasionally work with kids with disabilities. I only took one real picture unfortunately, the rest were on snap chat (terra227).


It also gave me the thought that they need an adult sized playground. My SIL and I had fun playing but were too big for a lot of it!  Have you ever seen an adult playground, like with old school playground equipment meant for adults?? Someone should make one!

I have also started a new program!! I am so excited and am loving this program. I have done it for 5 days so far and am already seeing amazing results!! It is an MMA style workout but they throw in strengthening days and also an active recovery/stretching day. I can't wait to see my results after the 30 days. Sticking to the eating meal plan through Thanksgiving will be tough, but I know with my online accountability groups I'll make it!

Part of my fitness journey has included improving my mind as well. I've been listening to Start, Punch Fear in the face by Jon Acuff on Audible. It is a really good book and gives great perspective on being more than average and living up to your potential to live and achieve your dreams.

A big take away for me is that some is better than none. Even if you don't know your exact plan or the route you should take, just start. That's how you figure out if you want to do it and what the heck you are supposed to do! I feel like that's what I'm doing now with this blog and how I started working out - I just started with a small idea and am allowing it to develop and grow as I go!

So until next time!  Have a great weekend!

Cookie dough balls

I saw this picture of what looked like cookie dough on my friends facebook page - she said she made it with Shakeology!  It absolutely looked amazing in the bowl, just like cookie dough.  And then she rolled it into balls for a quick snack - or in my kids case, BREAKFAST 😊 I modified her recipe a little bit and according to my husband I need to modify it a little bit more.  I thought they were good and the kids scarfed them down.  I guess if you don't like coconut at all, then you need to modify it as well - I'll tell you how I intend to but I can't promise anything at this point! Making these with Shakeology allows you to get 70+ amazing ingredients including superfoods, vitamins, protein, pre/probiotics, adaptogens, digestive enzymes....you know all that good for you stuff that most of us don't get on a daily basis and probably don't even know what it all is!  The way Shakeology is made though, the nutrients get delivered to you as a whole food (dri...

Homemade Granola Bars

I LOVE granola bars!  They used to be my go to snack when I was hungry between meals and then I started eating a little cleaner, so I avoided the store bought ones for a while.  We still bought them for the kids so they were around and I would look at them often!   I have given in and eaten them a couple of times recently, but the worst part of eating clean happened - some of my favorite foods don't sit so well in my stomach anymore!  Dang it for my stomach not liking the processed food with the chemicals 😉  I've tried a couple different recipes and they are all good, but I had to keep them in the refrigerator or they got too soft. So, this recipe I found the other day bakes them which I guess I always avoided because it would take longer.  However, baking them is totally worth it!  I have wrapped them individually so I can throw them into lunch boxes and they don't fall apart by the time lunch comes around.  AND they can sit out of the ...

Happy Holidays!

It has been a glorious 5 days off work and time spent with the family!  We normally travel for the holidays, but we had been traveling so much we decided to stay home and have Thanksgiving.  Our neighbor invited us over to join their family so I didn't have to make a big meal for the 4 of us - plus AJ said he would rather go out to eat than make a big meal that may get wasted.  So I accepted the invitation 😊 I did make some pies, chocolate chip cookies and a green bean casserole to bring over 😱 I did quite well with my eating and only had a little piece of cherry pie and pumpkin pie!  I told myself I wasn't going to have any, but I only eat pumpkin pie once a year so I couldn't resist myself! No skipping on the workout though and I tried to make the green bean casserole a little healthier - this (http://smilesandwich.com/2015/10/26/clean-eating-green-bean-casserole/) isn't the exact recipe I used, but similar.  I tried to follow the one on Beachbody on Dem...
