Thankful Thursday

Now don't get the wrong idea. I might not do this every week. I'll try but I can not make any promises. I got to massage my friend last night. We try to work on each other once a week. I absolutely love it! It doesn't matter who is the therapist and who is the client. We both come out of it feeling grounded and better overall. I am very blessed to have her in my life and that we are able to learn from each other. Two of my lil chicks got to go hang out with their Mema for a couple of hour today while I had a client. She is such a patient and kind woman. I really appreciate her.
Now that the day is starting to close, I look around my house. I have happy kids. Well, one of them is sleeping and the other two are watching Pinocchio. And then I start to see how much there is for me to do. I'm sure in the fall when school starts again, I will be able to get our house in order. As for now, I will remember that I have happy kids that are taken care of. They don't care that there is a stack of papers on the table or dishes in the sink...and on the counter...and the oven... I did my yoga and I'll be going for a walk with my friend tonight since it is not raining. Hope I didn't just jinx it. And the only thing we have going on tomorrow is staying home and relaxing! I'll be able to get quite a bit accomplished.

Only Day Two....

OH MY GOSH!!!! It is only day two of summer break. Well, we took Elsa to school and then remembered that she needs her lunch made. So we hurried home, made her lunch and then took it back to her. Anna and Spiderman are getting on each others nerves. They can't even be within 5 feet of each other. It is going to be a long summer... I'm going to step up the yoga, meditation and walking. I'm really excited for some upcoming things. I am meeting up with a friend and we are going to create some slides for doTERRA Facebook classes. Covering some extra shifts at work. The girls have the senior recital coming up. We have had some set backs with getting our business started, but we will keep moving forward. We are so close to getting it up and running! Once we get over 25 likes on our Facebook page, we can create our own Facebook link address. Then I can add it to our business cards so we can get those printed and start passing them out.

Busy Month

I can't believe it! May came and went so quickly! We were kept busy with dance practices and recitals, family reunion, end of school year stuff and getting my sweethearts business going. Now that Summer Break is here for one of the kids, I won't be in the car nearly as much so I will have more time to actually blog and keep up to date. So my oldest is out of school for the summer. My middle girl is now on her summer schedule. She gets to go to school for three weeks and then is off for two weeks. I am looking forward to the fall. All three of my kids will be in school. Four days are full and then one half day. I'm pretty excited! Until that time comes, I will be getting my tushy into gear! For breakfast I had a couple of egg whites, a scramble of zucchini, onion, turkey and tomato. I also had strawberry raspberry tea, straight from England!!! Thanks Jess!!! I cut up some cucumber and put it in water last night. It tastes so good and is so hydrating! A good change from plain ol' water.

25 Pounds to Lose Starts Here

For breakfast I had a "leftover scramble" and a cup of mango passion fruit tea. Yum! When I say "leftover scramble" I really mean, "let's clean out the fridge and throw it in the pan". I found quite a few veggies that were on their way to our chicken food bowl. Yes, we have a bowl of food that the kids don't finish that we give to our chickens. They love it! I also found some chicken that had been grilled. So it is made up of green, red and yellow peppers, onion, zucchini, sweet potato, tomato and chicken. I put it on a whole wheat tortilla. After the first bite, I got a fork and ate only my scramble. I was trying to use up the tortillas cause we only had a few left. Oh well. I'm sure the kids will finish them.

Back to Reality

Why haven't I been posting lately? Oh cause we went to a family reunion. It was a lot of fun! I did pretty good on my eating. I allowed myself to have a couple of treats and then my body reminded me why I don't eat that stuff anymore. Like one night I have 3 chocolate chip cookies my sister-in-law made. Yeah I had heartburn pretty bad. Milk chocolate for some reason has done that to me ever since my first pregnancy. So now that we have been home for a few days and are settling back into reality, I can get back on track and move onto my next 25 lbs. to lose. Oooo!! When we got back from the reunion I weighed myself. I maintained!!! No gain and no loss!!! Pretty dang happy and proud about that.
