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!

Happy 2017

Hey!  Happy New Year!!  I hope you had a fantastic Christmas and a safe and enjoyable time ringing in 2017! Our time was spent away from home but with family for Christmas.  We had a busy but wonderful time during the holidays!  The kids seemed to really enjoy time with their cousins they hadn't seen in a while and we got to enjoy time with each other. As a family we all must have decided that we would wear some shard of blue or green on Christmas Day! My family all seem to know me well and I got a lot of new workout tanks, pants and shirts for Christmas!!  I love them all!!  This one that my husband found fits me perfectly!   What were some of your favorite Christmas presents this year?  I love giving the gift of health - and my momma decided to pass that along to my sisters as well!  I'm so excited for all of them to be joining me this month in our health bet!  As fun as it is to receive and give gifts during the holida...

Venison Chili

I do believe that winter is officially here, much to my dismay 😄 I am pretty sure as I get older every year, I hate the cold more and more.  I did not used to mind the cold, and I still don't as long as there is snow on the ground.  Why else would it need to be so cold??? Anyway, when cold hits, I want as much warm food as I can get - chili, soups, stews, roasts.  Anything I can make in the crockpot is amazing!  We came back from Christmas with a lot of meat - our freezer is full!  And now we need to use it up making as many delicious foods as we can with our, straight from the butcher, meat!   If you didn't know, AJ is a hunter - but he really only hunts deer.  This year his dad got some ground venison and mixed it with pork.  Wow!! It is really good!  I am not a big fan of venison in general, but this combo turned out really yummy!  So we decided to make some chili with it and it was amazing!  According to AJ it was ...

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...
