Wore this to a friend's BBQ! Thankful I can fit back in to these super cute polka dot j-crew shorts! 

Went on a hike with my boys IN THE RAIN! This was so much fun! Definitely not something I've done before! We got dirty, cleared our heads, and had a blast! 

After church we made YUMMY protein pancakes!!!! DELISH!!! Definitely will be making these again!!! 

1/2 c rolled oats

1/8 t baking powder

1/4 t vanilla extract

1/2 c greek yogurt {i used raspberry} 

3 egg whites

*makes about 4 pancakes*

Prepped all of my meals for the week! If you haven't tried Braggs Liquid Aminos you totally should! Its a WAY lower sodium version of soy sauce and gives your veggies or chicken a great flavor!! 

Bought an orchid! I've always loved orchids! They are so simple and pretty! However, I have quite the opposite of a green thumb--it's pretty much a black thumb. Before we moved to a house I had all of these dreams of having a huge garden with lots of flowers and veggies. Well that dream quickly went down the drain when I couldn't even keep potted plants alive last summer. Then I proceeded to KILL A CACTUS this spring. Yes, I killed a cactus. Who knows how that happened. Anyway, heres to better luck with my beautiful orchid!!

      I have always been one that is hard on myself. I am my own worst critic. Through college, however, I never really paid attention to the food I ate. I ate what ever I wanted whenever I wanted. The pounds started to pack on. Since highschool, through all four years of college I gained 20 pounds. I worked out and still considered myself “heatlhy” but I was never 100% confident in my body. 

In 2011 I married the love of my life. Along with the love came 10 pounds of “love chub”. I quickly realized I was on a downward spiral and went on a mission to lose those 10 pounds of “love cub”. After loosing 10 pounds, I tried so hard to lose a little bit more. I alwasy hovered around the same weight, no matter what diet I tried or how much I worked out. My husband and I went on a mission to clean out our pantry and eat as wholesome and organic as possible. I still could not shed a pound. I needed to make a change. 

I became fed up when we moved to a small town without a gym. I was determined that I was not going to let those ten “love chub” pounds pile back on. I began looking for a supplement that could help me shed those stubborn pounds and take me off the plateau. I looked hard but everything came along with crazy side effects and wierd ingredients that I was totally against after starting our mission to eat better. 

When I discovered AdvoCare through the blog world, I became amazed. This was an all nautral supplement company that does not use funky ingredients and come along with a jittery, racing heart. I was sold on the product. I began the 24 day challenge March 19, 2013 and haven’t looked back since then. I know that this product works because I have seen the results right before my very eyes. I haven’t seen an “ab” since high school and haven’t felt more confident about my body in my entire life. After completing the challenge, I lost 7 lbs and 18 inches and gained a lot of muscle! 

I plan to tell as many people as I can about this wonderful brand that has changed my life for the better. I hope to inspire and give everyone else the confidence that I have gained from AdvoCare.

Today I am linking up with jamie for what i'm loving wednesday!

I am LOVING my spark and catalyst! I absolutely swear by them and know that they are the reason I've been able to see such progress in my workouts!!

Yes, I realize this is silly to post a picture of me "flexin" but I'm super proud of the progress I've made and I want ya'll to see that this stuff really works!!!

I LOVED this black bean, avocado, and sweet potato wrap that hubby and I made on Sunday! We didn't really follow much of a recipe {surprise?} We just threw a bunch of random things in the wrap. Chick peas, black beans, sweet potato, avocado, onion, spinach leaves, corn, rotel {and rice and cheese for hubby} I ate mine over a bed of lettuce and hubby ate his on a wrap!! mmm mmm gooooddd!

I have been LOVING meal prepping for the week! It takes a little time and preparation on Sunday but it's so worth it! You wake up in the morning during work week and grab your lunch and go! So easy!! I make my chicken with chicken broth and ms. dash seasoning and my veggies with a little bit of coconut oil and lots and lots of herbs!!! Ain't nobody can tell me that eating healthy is "expensive" because last week I made TEN meals for TEN DOLLARS!!
