last day of RESET!

All week, thanks to a dear friend with some AMAZING kiddos, I was able to take part in a program from USANA called RESET! It is meant to help curb cravings and lose weight. I have absolutely loved it !! The shakes were a great way of making sure I was eating breakfast, it makes you eat healthy snacks instead of going for some empty calories and it is SUPER DUPER FILLING!

From this expierience I have realized that I did not eat breakfast enough before causing me to inhale food when I ate lunch. Then I would go another 6 hours or so before my next meal , dinner. I need to change that not just for the five days of this program but forever.
My new steps will be:
  • getting empty calories out of the house. We will buy chips and stuff when we are at the store as a "treat" and over indulge. I am going to save my treat mentality for an every once in a while bean and cheese taco : )
  • EAT BREAKFAST! I am going to look for the most healthy and cost efficient way for me to continue with the shakes
  • Keep buying the veggies. We bought some really good containers to help keep pre-cut veggies from going bad. We have been buying: Asparagus, Broccoli, Celery, Tomatoes, Bell Peppers ( all colors), Cucumbers. Fruits have been peaches, banana, strawberries, blue berries, and black raspberry (not blackberries- somehow they are diff)
  • DRINKING MORE AGUA :)
The veggie and fruit thing we have been trying for a while, but our fridge is super old and ALWAYS freezes them when we keep them in the drawers- since we invested in the containers we have been good. Baby steps, hopefully will lead to a better life.

With God by my side I can conquer the WORLD!
Any tips for me?

LIFE: Camp

I have had an awful lot of un published blogs lately. These blogs come from deep routed feelings that have surfaced this year due to one thing or another. Maybe some day these blogs will be unearthed but for today, this blog needed to be written while it was still raw.  I have very vague memories of third or forth grade summer camp at Alto Frio, where I met Nana Pudding ( a christian puppet) and went pogging for the first time in a river. Summer after sixth grade,  I got in church vans and headed to Louisiana for the first time to attend Student Life Camp, then proceeded to go to Angelo State University and Glorieta New Mexico a few times. I spent time serving during spring breaks at Riverbend Retreat Center which lead to an internship over the summer. The week that "Curtis" and I first really got to know each other, we were at Glorieta for Centrifuge camp.  Camp is a special place for me. Camp is a happy place for me.  In 2018, I was able to experience camp through ...

REVIEW: Gratitude: A Prayer and Praise Coloring Journal

{necessary information} I received this book as a try-me from Tyndale Publishers and the opinions expressed in this blog are mine alone and not those of the author or publisher {transparency of blogger} I have worked for preschools and coaching facilities and as a babysitter for most of my life. Sometimes you have an extra coloring sheet laying around while the kids are babysitting ( and sometimes it was on purpose) so you have to sit down with the kids and use the best crayons or color pencils available to color the extra page. Okay, okay, I love to color. There is something therapeutic to coloring.  { review Gratitude} I love all things girly, so the fact that this book came with a flowery firm cover- I was giddy. Then you open up to devotion surrounded with black and white images crying to be colored- I was over the moon. After I read the devotional there is room to journal through my thoughts, taking coloring breaks. I highly reccomend this book for all ages and would b...

love is patient and kind

There is a point in your life when you have to accept that your plan for your family( brothers, sisters, moms and dads) and friends is not your own. I grew up in a family where if I had not accepted their changes, I would not have family and would have grown up sad and alone. I grew up in a family where they did not attend church, so they knew that I was not happy about their changes but I still loved them and prayed for them endlessly. I do not have to agree with people or be uplifted by someone to show them Gods love though loving them. God loves us even when we endlessly try to walk away by sinning. These people may not be doing what God wanted for them but it is not our place to throw it in their faces, once we tell them- we pray for them and keep loving them.
