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!

Chocolate protein bars

This is one of my most favorite recipes that I have adapted to fit our families needs and make on a weekly basis. It provides protein and carbs to keep you full and satisfied for the morning! Our kids literally have this breakfast every day and if I don't have them made, the kids are quite upset. They call them chocolate bars but that's very deceiving because there's not really much chocolate in it! These take 10 minutes max to make and then time in the fridge to set. 1+ cup natural peanut butter (I like Skippy) 1 cup local honey (for allergy sakes!) 1 1/3 cup oatmeal 3 scoops chocolate protein powder (I use Orgain) 1 scoop chocolate Shakeology (if you don't have this, just do 5 scoops of protein powder) Then I dump in some flax seeds and chia seeds - not measured Heat peanut butter and honey on stove together. Add in your other ingredients and mix well Spread in a container (I use a 9x13 Pyrex). Place in fridge overnight or freezer for an ...

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 Chicken Nuggets

I love chicken nuggets!! When I used to go to McDonalds it was what I got probably 75% of the time! They are just amazing. And the sweet and sour dipping sauce...oh so good! 😋 But now that I don't eat at McDonalds anymore, I have to make them at home. There are so many you can buy at the store - quick and easy to throw in the oven and they have all kinds of different shapes - dinosaurs, stars, hearts, probably whatever you wanted! But who knows what the heck is in those store bought ones....so I had to find a recipe that I could make at home. I have come across many that I like but I always wanted them to be crispy and not soggy when I make them in the oven. It has taken some time, but I think I have found the right combination!! YES!! So here we go. I hope you all enjoy them as much as we do! You will need: 4 chicken breasts 1 cup pickle juice (yes really) 1 cup flour paprika pepper 3 eggs 1 1/2 cups bread crumbs Dire...
