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.

Breakfast

I'm getting pretty good at eating breakfast. Today I had 2 egg whites, an apple and a scramble of turkey bacon, zucchini, green pepper, onion, garlic and tomato. So delicious! As for my tea, I had black cherry herbal earlier and now I'm having peach black. Warms the soul...

Cuppatea

I have really grown fond of drinking tea. I've noticed that when I don't miss a single "tea time", my body just works a lot smoother.

There are so many benefits to drinking tea but the ones that are big for me are my moods are elevated, I don't get constipated or get hemorrhoids (I know, TMI. But it's true.), and my body is just flushing toxins out like crazy! Every time I tell my sweet English friend that I am going to have a cup of tea, I always think of Eliza Dolittle in "My Fair Lady".

Stuck? Discouraged?

So lately when I have done my work-outs, my body feels stuck. Not literally, but it does. Like something is holding me back from doing the full movement. As I was walking this morning I got to thinking about it. I think I need to reevaluate my goals. I have some pretty big goals I want to accomplish, but I didn't really set any small, short-term goals. I think that got my body discouraged. I don't feel discouraged, but on a sub-conscious level, I think I am. Does that even make sense? If not, it makes sense to me. :) So I am going to come up with some new goals and report back tonight. Stay tuned!

New Adventure

My darling sweetheart has started a new adventure. Well, I say he has cause I haven't learned how to help him yet. But I am so excited for him! We are getting his online store set up, Facebook page up, business name registered... We have a lot more that we need to do but we are getting there. Luckily he already has his ebay store set up and people can purchase through there. If I have peaked your curiosity, check out our Facebook page Domi Dog Signs.
