20th Work-out Wednesdays

Here's my new favorite snack, sometimes breakfast. Apple slices (fruit) with peanut butter (for protein) and chocolate chips for some sweetness. You could also top with raisins, dried fruit, craisins, etc. for even healthier option.

I surprised myself weighing in at 129 after eating a big dinner! Then I was 127 another day this week before eating.
What are your favorite, more healthy, snacks?



Does anyone use swimsuits as motivation? I don't, but I can see it being a good motivator.
Keeping it Simple is having a giveaway for Hapari - $85 worth! I could use a new swimsuit! Pretty low entries so go enter! Ends March 28th.

I'm loving these two. Hope I win! More motivation to get toned if I win.

79th Fasionable Fridays

This outfit I wore when hosting a Play Date lunch at my house with 5 other moms and 9 other kids.
I had decided to straighten my hair to see how long it was since I haven't had it cut since November 2010! I know terrible! Having 2 kids has made me rethink my time, and it's been harder to go have time to get it done along with funds, but there's been a couple of people who will trade with me so I can get a haircut - now to decide what hair cut so I can look like a "cool mom" of 2 kids that's 27 years old - not like 21 or younger.

Please link up your Fashion, Hair, Make-up to Fashionable Fridays!

19th Work-out Wednesdays

This week since the weather has been in the 50s (quite unusual for Idaho!), I've been outside with my kids and every time I've jumped on the trampoline with them! I'm surprised my legs weren't hurting a lot - that must mean I haven't been a total slacker with movement. 

Also earlier this week, I sat in on my son's gymnastics class again (since he was gone for a week due to illness and now he's scared to participate in class again) and did the stretches. I actually did quite well with them. Definitely no where near as bad the first time I sat in on his class 2 months ago. =)

I also have had no pop all week!!! No to maybe lay off the Mini Cadburry eggs a little =D

Anyone else have an Easter Candy weakness?

HAPPY PI DAY TOO! 3.14159  Anyone celebrate? Hopefully I can do something since I totally forgot!

Book Review: Pretties

Come check me out on GoodReads. Here's my review on the latest book I read. =)


Pretties by Scott Westerfeld

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I really liked this one a lot more than the first one, Uglies. It was filled more with anticipation, waiting to read what happens next. The "pretty" language did get a little old, but it just shows how well the character was.
