Starting March off Right...Almost

My plan was to start off March with a bang and make sure that I'm making good habits instead of the bad one's I've been stuck in again! I have several things I'm working on but March was going to be my "On Plan 99% of Time" month for Trim Healthy Mama. I wanted to meal plan, prep and maybe even get some meals put in the freezer so I could pull them out on busy days but then this happened...
Snow days here in OK are different then CO because they don't care for the roads the same way CO does with magcloride and it's warmer here so the snow first turns to ice and then it gets covered up with snow as the temperature drops. So with all that said...no grocery shopping today :( 

My hope is that I can get out tomorrow late morning and hit the stores before the crowd. I won't be going to church because I'm not going to drive that far but the grocery store will be a must. Plus if I can hit the grocery store during regular church times then the stores won't be to busy. I'm just going to have to wait and see what happens. Hopefully I won't have to put off my plans for a few days while I wait for the weather to change. Hopefully I can still start everything tomorrow. I'm going to make these changes! Just being on plan about 50% of the time for the month of February I lost 6 pounds and that includes eating a complete Blue Bell container of ice cream in 2 1/2 days. See bad habits! I ate it because I wasn't feeling good about how I have been as a mom and homemaker so ice cream had to be eaten to help. This habit has to break and quickly!

I'd love to hear about your beginnings with THM and/or maybe what you will be doing to stick to plan! Having a support team makes things much easier!

  1. Yes, good job for starting March off right! How's it going so far?!
    I feel the same need for some change this month, but instead in regard to my grocery bill. I MUST go to the cheaper store (Trader Joe's) even though it's SOO much farther than the other stores I like to go to (Sprouts). I can literally cut our grocery bill by about 40% when I use solely Trader Joe's! Which rocks because they're much healthier in my opinion (especially when you can't eat all the goodies that they set out at eye level for you to be tantalized by the whole time!) So yay, we can both DO it! Rah rah, Kari!

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...

The ABC's of Our Family

I got a great idea from this lovely  blog  about doing a ABC photo book through out the year. Each week taking one photo that goes along with a letter. I have seen lots of great ideas for different photo blog ideas but all seem like to much work and something that I know I wouldn't be able to do. This one seems reasonable for our crazy life.  So to start off I have chose a great picture that I took of Rex and M playing together one day when he got home from work. Rex is so ADORABLE in this picture I just knew this was what I had to use! Plus I already know what I'm using for next week even though the picture hasn't been taken yet.  So here it is.......ADORABLE Rex playing with his Daddy! Oh I just can't get enough of this guy. Also as a little side note to how adorable he is...he kept posing for the camera once I got. He didn't care that Mommy was watching him play and wouldn't even look at me but soon as the camera was out he had to keep turning and...

12 Week Bumpdate

Yesterday we had our 12 week ultrasound and I enjoyed it so much! We were able to see our baby's face and she  (we didn't find anything out about the sex just hard to talk without he's and she's) had her hands up by her face. It was so cute. We also have a very stubborn child. The poor tech had such a hard time trying to get the measurements that she needed. She kept trying to get the baby to move. She had me move trying to get to the baby to move and nothing. So we were able to enjoy watching our baby on the screen for at least 20 minutes while she did her best to get the pictures she needed.  I'm a little bummed by the photo she gave us to take home. There were so many good photos where you could see so much and then right at the end she gave us a quick photo that isn't great but I will share it anyway. Like I said bad right. Well so it can help the baby's head in on the right side, Her hand is the white blob in front of her face and then you can b...
