Today was a normal Sunday. I got up and my husband and I had breakfast together. I went off to my little side job, I guess you would call it. I work the M-F 40 hour week plus pick up a Sunday lunch waitress shift to make a couple extra bucks. I just started back to this extra job about 3 Sundays ago, the first since Darcy was born. I had worked there while I was pregnant and the regulars know me pretty well. Well, today I waited on one of the regulars and she said she had recalled me telling her I was pregnant a few months ago. I told her she was correct and she responded with a "Well you should be showing by now?". I replied with a smile on my face, trying to make the moment not so awkward "we lost her, she was born too early". Of course, you could tell the woman felt terrible for asking and that's what I hate about it when people ask me about my pregnancy.

Next challenge!

I completed 21 Day Fix this past Sunday and began LIIFT4 the very next day.  No rest for the wicked! I'm loving it so far.  It's only 4 days a week and no more than 40 minutes a day.   Weekends off, WHAT?!  But, not off nutrition wise.  Still sticking to the portion fix plan.  And I can tell a lot of changes in my body and my body reacts very well to eating clean, which I suppose everyone's would.  I do treat myself from time to time with some wine or a light beer and we did just go out for pizza the other night.  Everything in moderation.  Today's breakfast was vanilla Shakeology with chai tea, chia seeds, cinnamon, and half a banana. Remember if you ever want to join me drop me a line over to the right and I'll be in touch!👉👉👉

The Shake

When I signed up to be a coach I didn't really plan to use Shakeology.  I had never tried it before and I really was just so sold by the workouts that I didn't think buying the shakes would really add that much more to my new lifestyle.  But it all kind of came with the territory and I thought I may as well give them a try to see what they were like.  I ordered the cafe latte, because according to research I had done that flavor along with chocolate was their biggest sellers.  And I like coffee. It came quicker than expected and I was super excited to try it.  It was a little strong on flavor.  The first mixture I tried was using just unsweetened almond milk and I've now been adding water along with that to cut down the strong flavor.  I sometimes add oats, frozen bananas, mint extract (careful with this one, a drop or two will do.  I learned that the hard way) or peanut butter.  But there are loads of recipes if you search around.  ...
