Recent Reads

I love to read. I don’t do it often because life gets busy but every once in a while I’ll get on a reading kick. I bought The Champagne Diet and read it in about a day and decided I needed another book but my budget just won't allow me to go to Barnes & …

Homemade Muesli Bread

I don’t know about you, but I’m obsessed with Starbucks protein bistro boxes. My favorite part is the muesli bread. I could eat those little protein boxes every day, however my budget won’t allow it. So I decided to make my own. First step- muesli bread! I did a quick pinterest search and found a …

Whole Body Cleanse: Day 10

Ahh we finally made it! I couldn’t be happier to be done with the whole body cleanse. Restrictive diets don’t work for me.  I want peanut butter. I want steak. I want COFFEE!  As for how I feel, I feel exactly the same as I did on  day 1. I feel absolutely no different. I …

What’s on Next Week’s Menu?

My husband and I were kid free tonight so we got to have a wild and crazy night of... grocery shopping. We needed to get the food for next week’s meals. Before we went to the store I sat down and made a mental list of everything I would need. This week’s meals were too …

Whole Body Cleanse: Day 9

We’ve almost made it! I thought these last two days would never come! I’m excited to get back in the gym (the cleanse book says no hardcore working out) I think it’s because you could pass out or something... Today is where the cleanse switches things up a bit. Instead of taking all the pills …

Day 8: The Struggle is Real

I've made it to day eight of the Whole Body Cleanse and I am definitely riding the struggle bus these last couple days. I miss my black coffee. I feel weak yet energized at the same time.  (Probably from all the black tea I've been consuming.) I'm craving everything under the sun. Here are a few things …

Throwback Thursday

Believe it or not, i used to be really fit and cute. If you need proof, heres a picture of me circa 2013... Part of the reason I'm doing the Whole Body Cleanse and meal prepping is so that I can get back down to that size (or as close as humanly possible.) We go to a bodybuilding convention …

My Husband’s Early Christmas Present

In my very first post I talked about how my husband wanted to start meal prepping again. Prior to this I had gotten him a super cute (in my opinion) meal prep bag for Christmas since he is always on the go with work, the gym, etc. Once he came home and told me about his new …

Meal Prepping for the Kids

Hey there! So my husband and I recently started meal prepping again, mainly for convenience sake, and I decided "Why not do it for the kids too?!" Spending one day cooking a week's worth of food vs. cooking every single day seemed like a no brainer to me. We have two children, ages five and …

Whole Body Cleanse: Lucky Number 7

Woohoo! Only three days left! We've made it through seven days of the Whole Body Cleanse. I'm so ready to get this over with and continue a NORMAL healthy diet. For breakfast i had fresh pineapple and my new favorite thing- black tea. Here are a couple of my favorites...  Lunch was HARD. We met …
