Advocare

I have been reading a lot of blogs and a coupe of them that I follow on a reg basis use the Advocare products. I am seriously considering trying it. I am trying to increase my running distance and one blogger said she uses the Advocare rehydrate. I am thinking I am gonna need to do a little more research and possibly get on board with it. My jogging stroller is broke and the hubs has been working like crazy so I am having a hard time getting in my runs so I am going to have to figure this out. Have any of you ever tried Advocare? Happy Monday!

Changes

Sorry to those of you who follow me and have been checking up and haven't seen any new posts in a while. I have been out of town a lot over the summer and am finally back home. i have decided to make some major changes around here and I thought I would share. If you have been following my blog, you know that I am trying to lose weight. I am almost to my pre-pregnancy weight and I have to make some hard core changes to get to that goal. I am going to try and log my weight and progress on here to hold me accountable. I was thinking about trying and finding some new recipes online and skinny-ing them up. I follow a couple blogs that keep me motivated so I am hoping these changes I will reach that goal. My little girl is getting bigger now and she will pretty much eat anything so this will be good for her too. My weight yesterday was at 157 and I still have a good 10-12 pounds I would like to lose. I am desperately itching to sign up for a full marathon but if I happen to get pregnant again that will not work out so good. So I will just have to keep with my everyday running for now. I begged the hubs to make half of the garage a gym since we have most of the equipment so I can boost up my weight lifting. We will see how this all turns out. Please share any great skinny recipes you might have or any good at home workouts:)

MIA

Well I finally had a minute to sit down and actually write or (type). I have been SUPER busy and it's only just beginning. We are re-doing our backyard so that has taken a big portion of my time. I also have been trying to work at the school as much as possible before school gets out cause I can't work during the summer. I also have been diving back into the Real Estate business and paperwork is just constant right now. Luckily I can do it from home so that helps with Nova. I can't wait to post pics of the backyard when it is all finished! Novas birthday party is on the 5th and we are trying to have it done by then. Also, I have been trying to talk the hubs into a new phone and last night when my screen shattered I thought this was just one more great excuse to get one! haha Hope you all have a great Friday! Here is a little photo or two of the little one!

Trying New Things

Since I have clearly hit a dead plateau, a friend told me about this new video she is trying and says it is absolutely AMAZE BALLS!!! Yep I said it and I went out and bought it and will be trying it out tomorrow. This is it:

 I have never been a huge fan of yoga. But I have found myself stressed lately and feel like sometimes I get angry over the dumbest things. I don't want that to ever come out in my personality so I am going to give this a whirl and see what happens. I will try to get a progress notebook and keep you updated. (If you care:))
 On another note, I have been into spring and the amazing weather we have been having here so I decided to make a spring wreath. I haven't gotten a pic of mine yet but ended up making one for my sis-in-law and here is how it turned out:

I did these colors cause well.. those are the colors she is doing in her new chateau :) I also tried this new thing on my toes and thought it turned out pretty good. I am still practicing but here it is:

Again, excuse my disgusting runners toes. I have to do fancy stuff like this to hide the nastyness. Hope you ahve a great weekend! :)
