Uneventful but good


Hello world it is MONDAY! I actually enjoy Monday. Monday is always the start of another week but for me it’s back to routine and normalcy after a weekend of no structure. 



We didn’t do much this weekend but it was great. Payton and I worked on her Valentine box for school, we played board games, played at the Park, went to the farmers market (more on that in a minute) and played hide and seek. 

My little gal LOVES crafts so lets just say she was in heaven when her and I put together her Valentine box for school. She did a really great job. And other than some spelling I let her do most the work. Go me! 


Many nights before bed the kids will ask to play hide and seek. The game in itself is so funny/ Preston can’t stay quiet long enough to hide, Cooper points out hiding places and eventually the game turns into a man hunt for the well hid adults. Cooper is especially funny when the “it” person is counting, he counts too... (he does this during time outs too) 


Okay, on to the market. We are vegetable freaks in this family. We eat a diet primarily of whole grains and veggies and more than not we enjoy trying new veggies. That being said OMG collard greens were nasty! I really tried to like them. I kept trying to rationalize the taste with the nutritional advantages but I couldn’t do it. I’m not sure if it was how I prepared them but yuck! I have a few more recipes to try out and plan on putting them in my 15 bean soup tonight but Im not sure about these greens. 

Vegetarian collard green recipes now being accepted.

Not even 1 pound

Here’s a little back story: I was athletic in HS, I was athletic in college, and then I had three kids. The mix of married life, and mommyhood over the past 6 years has changed my body in ways that are UNTHINKABLE. Once muscular and toned arms from lifting now get most of their exercise from picking up the little ones. I am convinced my thighs and stomach will never be the same again. I LOVE MY KIDS and HUSBAND but my goodness what have they done to my body.
That was me almost 7 years ago with my nephew I would give anything to have that body back.
Here I am earlier this summer hiding behind a one piece with baby on hip.
The time is now.
It is time to do something about it.
3 weeks ago my friend and I started training to do a 5k. Honestly, we are really more interested in the results we see on the scale than the 5k. We looked on pinterest and found the easy to do couch to 5k plan.
We’ve been doing it. I've worked out more in the past few weeks than I have in years.
I feel like I am working my butt off. 3 weeks down and sadly I haven’t lost a single pound. I am seriously getting discouraged.
