Giving up Sugar.

I am giving up sugar. It starts tomorrow! AAAAHHH. I am going to keep my coffee, because you don't want to mess with my coffee! But here is my plan so far:

breakfasts:
eggs, bacon, coffee,
egg, potato, green pepper, red pepper,onion casserole.

OR

(INSERT GASP) No breakfast. I know they say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but for me it is easier for me to skip breakfast and push out eating until lunch, I have more will power and motivation in the morning. It works for me.. but I know it doesn't for a lot of people.


Lunches:
salad- I am planning on lots of salads, making them REALLY well and elaborate- that is key to me.
chicken & green beans


Dinner:
Steak & Veggie
Chicken & veggie
Taco salad



I am hoping to add on and expand my meal plans as time goes on, but I think this meal plan will get me through the first week.


WISH ME LUCK! I will keep yo updated.. Hopefully it will all be fabulous updates!! :) And I REALLY hope I can stick with it! I can do it... I can do it... I can do it... I WILL do it!

Lately...

It has been a little while. Oops! :) I thought it would be great to catch you up, via my iphone! :)

Bryn was so tired after our target trip she fell asleep on her mama. She never does that! 

Porky still needs 18 hours of sleep.

water... it's a funny thing.

All day today I have felt out of it, tired and lazy. I spent most of my day playing with Adeline outside, which was awesome! But I was just not motivated to do housework. I called my husband at work and let him know I was too tired to clean so not to expect anything awesome when he came home.  I laid in bed and drank 32 ounces of water because I was thirsty. Then all of a sudden I start cleaning the bathroom and cleaning up the kitchen...  Water never ceases to amaze me! I mean what a mood changer and energy changer! I love water. I know and have known for years how important water really is. But gosh tonight just reminded me.. again. Water for the win.



This is Adeline eating dinner after playing outside. I think it wore her out a litte. haha

I feel ya little one... I feel ya. :) 

Ring re sizing. I am way to excited about it!

I am so excited! I am getting my ring resized! (the title didn't give that away or anything.. haha) It is on its way to New York right now! Have I told you it is a Tiffany & Co ring?! I love my ring so much! I love the man who gave it to me much more. but it is the most beautiful ring. It is a ring beyond my dreams. And I haven't been able to wear it for about 2.5 years because I gained weight... I am finally at a place in my life where I am accepting myself and body more than I ever have.

 I know I won't drop these 50 lbs in 6 months. I know realistically I am on a life long journey of health and fitness. So I got my ring sized so I can finally wear it again, but also I feel like it is part of my "healing" process of accepting and loving myself and my body and not having these unrealistic expectations of myself.

I get it back April 10th and I cannot wait! I will be flashing that baby around like no tomorrow! :) Feel free to roll your eyes. I would too. haha. But I am like "little kid going to disneyland" excited for this ring to come back and fit beautifully on this little hand I have! :)
