Back To Real Life

I made it through the crazy weekend!!! If you missed it check it out here and here.

I must have been exhausted from all the parties, because I slept through my alarm clock this morning!!! I had about 15 minutes to get ready and out the door! Not the best way to start a Monday, but I do feel well rested:)

After all the fattening yummy food from last night I am EATING CLEAN all week to get my poor little body on track again. I wish I was one of those people who could eat whatever and not feel the effects on my tummy!!

BREAKFAST

I ate a bowl of instant oats at my desk this morning with nanner, AB, and peanuts.

Not as good as Stove Top OATS!!!

SNACK

I grabbed one of Hubby’s bars on accident this morning. I forgot how much I love these!!! Not the best “natural” snack, but sure did hit the spot.

Ok friends so this week at the end of each post I will be answering all your fun questions from “Ask Me Anything”, well most of them anyways. I received over 100 questions and a lot of them were duplicates.

Q: What is up with pushing the Jesus crap on people? Is this a fitness blog or a Jesus blog?

A:
Yes this blog is about fitness, but it’s about all things in my life which includes my faith. I do not believe I push my faith on anyone I just write about my relationship with Christ, because it is a big part of who I am.

Q:How are you able to go to parties or hang with friends and not drink or have bad food (I always feel pressured)?
A: Well for me food is never “bad”, we just can make bad choices sometimes by over indulging and getting a little over our heads with our alcohol intake. I do enjoy the occasional glass of wine and chocolate covered pretzels, but it’s all about moderation. When I go to a party I make sure to have a little bit of everything otherwise I will feel deprived and then go crazy! As far as drinks my max is two glasses (beer or wine) and then I switch to sparkling water with lime 🙂

Q:How do you find time to make 3 healthy meals a day with such a busy schedule?

A:
It’s really not hard once you get into the swing of it. It’s all about PLANNING and PREP WORK! I Try and sit down every Sunday and write out all my meals for the week and yes things might change, but I am more likely to open my fridge and make something healthy if it’s full of healthy choices!  I wake up a little extra early for breakfast and always have lots of leftovers for lunch! Keeping your fridge stocked with healthy choices is the key.

Q:Speaking of babies… when are you and your husband going to have one? 🙂 How many?

A:This was one of my most asked questions 😉 Well I’ll be honest with all the BFF’s prego it has got me thinking, but when Hubby and I got married we agreed on a 5 year plan and we are approaching year 3. If we got pregnant now I would be ecstatic, but there will be plenty of time for that. As far as how many, Hubby and I agree on one thing and that is, it has to be even numbers! Now does that mean 2 or 4??? Only time will tell 🙂

More to come!!!

Off to teach KB then bed.

P.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Meghann!!!
