Week 3 Complete of the Bikini Body Mommy Challenge

Yep that is right 3 weeks down! I completed week 3 of the Bikini Body Mommy Challenge even with sick kids in the house and sleeping on a horrible mattress on the floor of the boys room! It's done! Completely behind me! Of course I only have 10 more weeks ahead of me. I really can't wait until the weeks behind me are more than the weeks ahead of me!

Having sick kiddos really did slow me down last week. I had to double up on workouts instead of getting them in everyday. It also made going to the grocery store nearly impossible so getting healthy foods in the house was not something that happened. So this week wasn't one of my best weeks. But that's OK. I did the best with what I had. That isn't limited to the kitchen. I mean with the little energy that I had too.

So week 3 is complete! I have made my first Paleo focused meal plan for this week and even hit the store today even though it was snowing and cold. I was able to take my hubby to The Rodizio Grill for his birthday dinner before he leaves town next week. And I was able to keep it a secret from him for a full year! I'll explain later. The boys are starting to feel better. I'm using doTerra oils like crazy trying to get us back to our normal selves again. So here's to a successful week against all odds! There is still hope that I will reach my goal by my birthday!

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

Week #2 on THM

Well it's officially the end of week 2 on Trim Healthy Mama! I have tried some more new recipes from the book and from pinterest and I'm having so much fun with it. I also order some xylitol online to save money. I didn't realize how much sweetener I would be using but when you can make sweets for any meal or snack through out the day you can use quite a bit. Favorite Meals this week E pancakes from the book! Yum! I added in frozen berries to them while cooking and they were great and the boys loved them too. They got to have the added whipped cream or syrup on theirs. Fat Stripping Frappa! OMGOSH! This is going to be my go to summer morning drink! I can see myself making one of these up first thing in the morning to get my day going and then enjoying a yummy breakfast 3 hours later. Soon as warm weather hits Hubby's schedule will be packed full daily so my mornings will start early, like 5am early! So having a breakfast at 8:30 will be perfect timing! Cheese ...
