Trim Healthy Mama Beginning

Have you heard of Trim Healthy Mama? I hadn't either until just a few months ago. But I knew I was going to be ordering the book and it worked out that I was able to ask for it as a Christmas gift instead of purchasing it myself.
When I first saw it I was very intimidated! It's a HUGE book! But once you dive in you see why...it's packed full of information but written in a way that is easy to read. I think if they would have taken out much of the "conversation" then the book would have been fewer pages however it would have been really difficult to read.
So I want to start right away even though I have to read first so I searched for and overview of the plan. And I found one! This gave me a little idea. I have also been talking to a good friend that has taken me under her wing to help me through the journey of this parenting, homeschooling, country living that I'm trying to figure out. What she has said has followed right along side what I'm learning through this awesome book!
So how have I started while I'm waiting to get through the book? First, I have joined several Facebook pages. This is a great place to learn from other people. I'm starting to collect the ingredients that I don't have on hand now. I've started drinking the Shrinker and the Good Girl Moonshine. I've started cooking some of the Satisfying and Energizing meals that they recommend. I've learned that it's best to start with S meals if losing weight is your goal so that's what I'm sticking with for now as I continue to read. I'm also tracking my food I eat and my blood sugar to track what foods set off the insulin truck in my body so I know what foods are best for me!
Come follow along and see what progress I make with this new Trim Healthy Mama journey!

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...

Bikini Body Mommy Challenge Update!

So we are starting week 8 (I think). It's been a few weeks since I have officially sat down and updated on how I have been doing. Week 6 I did pretty good. The 4 am workouts were starting to wear on me so I decided to try and get a workout in after my hubby left for work but before the kids got up. Some days that went OK and other days not so well. I did however get several workouts in with the boys awake and they went pretty well. Monkey tired to join in with me and it was quite fun to watch. Of course he couldn't keep up with the workouts and took many breaks but it was fun to have him involved. This week I plan to do cardio days at 4 am in the gym because they are easier than trying to complete in the house. But for the non-cardio days I will do them in the house in the morning. That way I'm not completely exhausted everyday. Now for week 7. I have no idea even what the workouts were for last week. I didn't even look once! I have good reason though. My hubby h...
