Random musings

So the running thing the last week has not gone well at all.....it is so hard with my sweet, active 5 month old little miss and my 5 year old diva, and 8 year old aspiring hunter......But getting my jogging stroller ready to roll and hopefully that will help. I am trying to not get to down and I know that one day I will be able to run again and hoping that my 40 extra pounds will be gone too :) It is so hard. I have been faithfully tracking calories and out. Feeling like I'm going to starve and no budge on the scale. I think I'm going to stop weighing and just keep trying to be active and of course watching those calories.

Speaking of that. I have been making my version of "green monsters" for breakfast (spinach, carrots, strawberries, banana, little milk, greek yogurt, and sometimes flaxseed) They are fabulous! I am going to try to increase the protein in them. Bought some soy powder but I am not a big fan of soy so we will see. I heard where you can just add dry milk.... I also researched coconut milk and water today. I love coconuts and learned that you can actually use the coconut water as a natural way to rehydrate after exercise. I like that idea much better than gatorade.  But I need to exercise first!

Also still planning our dream home! It is a slow process but everyday we get closer and I know to just leave it in God's hands. He has never steered us wrong yet!

Well time to get things ready to make our pizzas for tonight for my wild and crazy bunch!
