Virus be gone

Hello y'all! It is mid week-ish! Whoop!

This household is getting over some virus (name unknown😷)
Clint and Ava got it on Saturday and yesterday was the first day they have felt like normal!  Their appetites still are 100% back.  I do know that what ever they had had them down for the count for a good 3 days. I am praying that Brody and I don't get it! This mama ain't got time for that! Although, I am not sure how I won't get it!

Y'all know as mamas we take care of our families sick or not, but when they are sick, we are working overtime. Thankfully, Clint and Ava aren't needy sick people. Especially Ava. She's like me and just wants to be sick and left alone.

I got my second installment from Stitch Fix yesterday.  Honestly, I am not impressed.  The first fix wasn't me at all.  I decided to give it one more try. With excited anticipation, I opened the box and was still disappointed.  Out of 5 items,  I would only have 1 maybe.  And that maybe, was WAY to expensive for my taste.  I can go to TJMAXX or ROSS and get 3 cute shirts for the price of one in my fix.  I know a LOT of people love it and I might try it later on, but for now the Stitch Fix was a Not For Me fix.

Today, is my turn at the gym. Clint and I try to take turns, well in all honesty, I go one day during the week and then on Saturdays. I get up and work out at home the rest of the days.  I use those days as my "lift heavy as I can" days.  So, when it is my gym night I get excited. Back and legs tonight!  I haven't had much of an appetite today, which for me is ODD!  Hopefully, it won't affect my lift.
I really hope I am not getting sick.  (go away you nasty unnamed virus!)

Oh and one more, clothes tid bit. I ordered a workout outfit from Fabletics.  This is Kate Hudson's line of clothes. Your first outfit is ~$25 and free shipping.  I am going to try it out on Saturday at the gym and will let you know how it fits and functions!  Excited to try it!

Until next time! Get your sweat on and enjoy your life!

Oh my stars!

Hello!!

Oh my stars, it has been forever and a day since I have posted anything! I am wanting that to change! I went back and read some posts and they are all special to me! It is a way to chronical my life and get my thoughts and feelings out of my body! If all of that bottles up, one day you find yourself kabooming on someone that doesn't deserve it!

Let's see. What to talk about today!!
I am working full time now. I no longer work at the chiropractor. It was time to sledattle put of there. I loved the place, but there was no room for growth. I had stayed part time and part time SAHM for 2 years or so. I loved it, but it was time to help out more financially. And let's face it, as a mama, you can never just be part time. Even working full time now, laundry, cuddles, and choreography of the family still has to be done! Right?!

I am still a Mary Kay consultant and use the makeup religiously. I will find time to get back to having parties when I feel the time is right. But right now, I do reorders for my loyal customers and any new ones by word of mouth. I'm content with that!

AdvoCare is my other "side job". They have fabulous products and Spark is amazing! If you are curious, let me know! 😉

Let's see, working out is balls to the wall. I'm trying to wean Brody, who by the way is 17 months old! I know, right! Crazy how fast it flies. (Ava is 4 1/2🙈)  I have been stable at my weight and fitness level until about Christmas and then it was an "ah ha" moment. I want me back. I want the body I had before Brody and not the little mama-fluff that I had hanging out like an annoying friend who won't leave!
I'm getting up 3-4 mornings a week at 4:15 and working out at home! (If its important, you make time!) Clint and i switch out going to the YMCA during the week and then we go on the weekends.
I took time off counting any calories or macros in my contently fluffy phase. Now, I've cleaned up my  act and am in a mission. I will look fabulous in a bathing suit this year!

Life is great around here! Am I perfect?! Nope, not by a long shot. But I know that I am exactly where God wants me to be! I do the best I can at being a good, in the moment mama, a supportive and loving wife, as well as the Christian I am meant to be. It's a messy, crazy life, but it's glorious!
I'm back and I'm so excited to share our life with yall!😘
