I need a pin-ervention!

I have crossed another to do off of my pinterest list. This is so easy peasy, quick and simple!

Mix:

1 c. Borax

1 c. Super Washing Soda

1/2 c. lightly colored Kool-Aid

1/2 c. Kosher Salt

Rinse Aid: White Vinegar

I ran my first load with my homemade dw detergent this morning -it came out perfectly clean and smelled great! I will make another batch as soon as it runs out!

A Body by God

We're back to hitting the pavement. It feels so good to be getting back into an exercise regime. Now that we've strapped on our running shoes we also decided to follow Body by God -the undiet!

Here's the basis:

No food is not naturally occurring in nature

No processed food

No white sugar or flour

No man made food

The best part is that Dr. Ben Lerner gives detailed information on what time to eat certain food groups for optimum heath. I like a specific plan so this suites me perfectly!

Morning: High to Moderate Carbs, Low Proteins, Low Fats

Afternoon: Moderate to Low Carbs, Low to Moderate Proteins, Low to Moderate Fats

Evening: Low to Zero Carbs, Moderate to High Proteins, Moderate Fats

Our dinner last night- Baked Salmon, Spinach Salad & a Whole Wheat Dinner Roll

I'm a Snake Shedding My Skin

I've been gearing up all week for our family game night! Aunt Becky hosted it and prepared a Chipotle style meal. It was delicous. I don't know which was better the food or the fun.  

After eating, we played Hilarium. I could try to explain the laughter but I think the pictures will speak better! 

 

Fat & Happy

For my birthday, Forrest took me out to the Cheesecake Factory and to the movies for a chick flick naturally! We came home with lots of cheesecake and devoured it with Mom and Dad! I went to bed that night happy and full : ) Note to self...do NOT step on scale after eating an entire plate of orange chicken and an entire piece of cheesecake. I'm embarassed to say that I was 3 pounds heavier come Monday morning! You bet ya I was out running early Monday morning!

Breakfast in Bed & Steak Dinner for Two

We have always kept our Valentines Day plans low key. This year kept in tradition. I made Forrest a simple breakfast in bed!

and he made me...dinner!

My favorite meal- Steak & Potatoes! ...and the sweetest note!

Popcorn, Slushies & Romance

Over the weekend, we went saw The Vow! It was completely sold out and was the best chick flick I've seen -since The Notebook. I was crying throughout the entire movie. I won't give away too much for those who haven't seen it. It was about a married couple who gets in a car accident and the wife loses any memory of her husband. Her husband does everything he can to win his wife's heart again! Tear jerker for sure : ) I love date nights with Forrest but this one was better than all of the rest. We arrived a little early so we had time to chat before the movie. Thirty minutes into the movie, Forrest got a craving for popcorn so he went and got us some. Thirty more minutes and I was wanting something a little sweet so he went back to the concession stand for a slushie! Everytime he came back he'd say "What did I miss?" (Don't want yall to think he wasn't into the movie!) We held hands and he wiped my tears! It was the perfect night out with my best friend!

On the way home I couldn't help but tear up again! I kept thinking about how I had a husband who would do anything to romance me all over again! Goodness- if he had to do it all over again we'd probably be engaged in a month vs. the 12 weeks it took us : )

iPhone Dump

This is what these two do every single night.

If I get in between Lexi and MY husband she grunt until I move over because she is uncomfortable!

Recently, I took Bayli & Layne shopping for the day!

You know they just had to eat at Panera : )

My favorite meal that I've cooked EVER!

Flank Fteak stuffed with Fresh Mozzerela and Spinach
