My Running Comeback!

I have decided to run a marathon! A whole 26.2 miles. For fun.

I've always said I had zero desire to run a marathon. Who wants to run for that many hours straight? Who can run for that many hours straight? And then I had the third child that I had always said I wouldn't have. And since we're just breaking all sorts of self-imposed rules, why not break the running rule, too?

Cochlear Implants: Part 1

Life is hectic. In the past five months we've gotten a new puppy, packed up and moved into a new house, had a birthday party in unpacked new house, buried the puppy after an unfortunate incident with a poisonous frog, had a baby, gotten a new puppy, celebrated Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Happy Heart Day, and Valentine's Day. We like to jump headfirst into things, apparently.

Low Carb Bread

You know what happens when you have a baby? The last thing in the world you feel like doing is blogging. But I feel like I'm finally starting to get back in the swing of things. And it only took three months! I've started running again, trying to get back my pre-baby body. And, although I haven't been writing about it, I have been posting pictures of my low-carb, keto friendly meals on instagram. It's so much faster.

Low-Carb Cinnamon Cookie Bites

No matter what I try, my child will not eat my attempts at homemade desserts. Doesn't matter if I think it's the most delicious treat ever invented, it's like she knows I made it myself and she refuses to eat it. Does she have a sixth sense about these things?! For the love of God, what child doesn't want to eat a fat-filled whipped cream and powdered jello mixture?! Ok, that may not be a great example, but most of the treats I make for her are downright tasty. To me, anyways.

Pumpkin Spice Protein Shake

It's the first day of October! And since I'm the most basic girl of them all, I made a delicious pumpkin spice protein shake to celebrate!

Free Sample Meal Plan

I feel like I've been MIA. Practically all of my free time has been spent either napping or packing. Why? Because in all my brilliant glory, I  decided moving with only 8 weeks until this baby is born was a great idea. I mean, it really is. We're in a two bedroom condo now, and there just isn't enough space for us all. Plus, babies come with their own storage unit full of necessary stuff. So we're moving to a house! With a yard! And everyone can run and frolic outside while I nap peacefully inside. Ahhh, a girl can dream.

Fitness Friday

Yep. It's Friday. Maybe you haven't gotten around to working out this week. Maybe you accidentally ate fast food every day. You're probably thinking you'll just start over next Monday. But why wait? You wake up every morning with a blank slate. Made a bad choice (that's the lingo in kindergarten) at lunch? Blank slate starts as soon as that meal ends. Make a better decision the next meal, the next morning, the next workout. It's never too late. And you never have to wait until Monday. Start right now. This very minute. With this workout.

This can be done at home with no equipment, which means no excuses! Do the entire circuit as many times as possible for a full 20 minutes. You can do it!
