Changing My Life One Roll at a Time!
How did YOU do last month? I hope you’re doing better than me! My children and I traveled to Utah and back and then the whole family took a trip to Ft. Lauderdale all within the first 16 days of April. The drive to Utah was accomplished in two days each way and the Ft. Lauderdale trip was a long one. All of it was wonderfully exhausting. I did get
Trying to Regain My Focus I am amazed and sad with myself at how easy it is for me to become sidetracked and lose my focus. It’s all to easy for little things to challenge journey on bettering myself (eating better and consistently working out). Now throw in a few major things becoming problems in my world and I have not only fallen off the wagon but it has officially

Another rough month for me as far as getting out to walk for exercise. How about you? I’ve learned, relatively recently, a definition of the word “excuse” that has really stuck with me and caused me to question myself and my words more than ever. Dani Johnson says, “Excuses are well-planned lies.” Do you agree? As for me, I’m finding that it’s mostly (if not always) true. When it comes
Motivation There is one quote I always turn to when I need some motivation. “Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you are right. “ Henry Ford Now, the reason I love this is because he is completely correct.

Snack Time: My Favorite Healthy Snacks I don’t know about you, but when I am trying to eat healthy and workout my hunger goes into overdrive and my cravings change a TON. So, for my post today I wanted to share a few of my favorite things to snack on that are healthy and beneficial to my, and hopefully, your journey. Just to let you know, before I get started
The Value of Accountability When you begin your weight loss journey, you are filled with enthusiasm, the thrill of getting up early to hit the gym or jump into your exercise routine, the sudden love of all things healthful, and the image of what you expect to look like is fresh in your mind. After a week of early rising, saying yes to huge salads and no to that caramel
February was rough for me. What about you?? My children were sick, which I managed with okay. Then baby got sick and I still managed all right. She seemed to get worse and I realized I needed to ensure that she could sleep as much as possible. Since we co-sleep, that means Mama had to be there for her to sleep as much as possible… so I stopped walking while
One Pound = 4 Sticks of Butter As my daughter and I worked on her math last week, we did a series of rote memorization’s of math facts. 1 minute = 60 seconds 1 hour = 60 minutes 1 day = 24 hours 1 pound = 4 sticks of butter Okay that last one wasn’t really there but it was exactly what I thought as we were reciting.
