Just a little kink in my plan.

Do you want the good news or the bad news first?....  Good? ok.

I lost 2 lbs last week!

Now, the bad news.

I pulled a tendon in my knee. It's not a bad injury, it will just take some time to heal. So, no working out for a week. Maybe by Friday or Saturday?

The good: Lost weight. Ate healthy except for 1 meal last week and a piece of chocolate. It's starting to become a routine that I don't really have to think about.

The bad: Injured knee. :(

The goals: Walk at least once this week. Drink more water. Maybe do 30 day shred one day.

Sunday - That's my fun day!

Getting to know you Sunday

1. What color do you wear the most? Black. I'm boring. Usually black yoga pants or capris and a colored top. (blue, pink, red or green usually)



2. Would you rather have $10,000 dollars or a dream vacation? I need to know more about the vacation! If the vacation is worth more than 10k, then that would be my pick for sure. If not, I would take the money and spend most on a vacation and the rest on something practical.


3. Do you have a weird, quirky or unusual habit? Hmm. It REALLY bothers me to go to bed at night with a messy house, especially dishes in the sink. I have to clean up before bed so I can wake up to a clean house.


4. I really need to start..........? Saving more money. Oh, & the Couch to 5k training I read about.


5. What was the first blog you ever read? The first one I followed was HeirtoBlair


6. Do you collect anything? You would think I collect baby clothes the way I buy them sometimes :)


7. Do you text/twitter while driving? No! Oprah has put the fear of God in me about this. Never.
 

Have a great Sunday!

Who doesn't LOVE a party?

I found out about the ULTIMATE BLOG PARTY from another blog. I thought, I like blogs... I like parties... I should fit right in. (maybe?) The best part about this party is that I don't even have to get all gussied up to attend. I may or may not be sitting here in workout pants and a tank top (I am. No makeup. Ponytail.) and no one is pointing and laughing at me. Ok, maybe you are and I'm just blissfully unaware!

Welcome to my blog if you are new.

(either from the blog party, or just new.)

I'm Mrs B. Wife to Mr B. Mom to Sweet Cheeks.

We are your average midwestern family trying to make the switch to a cleaner (healthier!) lifestyle.

I'm blessed to be able to stay at home with Sweet Cheeks, so this blog is my outlet... a way to meet other moms.. and a way to claim some "ME TIME" during the hectic days.

Welcome. Enjoy. Sit and stay awhile.

Angels are among us

From City Mom, Country Mom:

My husband and I met in high school. After 7 beautiful years together, and on a warm summer day, we gave birth to a beautiful little boy named Ethan. Words could never express how seeing that little guy for the first time made us feel - instantly our world was a little brighter, our purpose a little clearer, and our hearts...how they began to overflow with such a love that we had never felt before. Although we did not know it at the time, our little Ethan would only be with us for a short while. At exactly 3 months and 15 days old, he passed away in his sleep, suddenly and unexpectedly. To us and his doctors, he was a normal, happy and healthy baby; but in what felt like a mere blink of an eye, he was gone from us. Losing him was beyond devastating and the grief that followed was something that life could have never prepared us for.

This is a blog started by 2 moms who both lost babies due to SIDS. They are on a mission to raise awareness and to share their stories.

SIDS is the sudden death of an infant under one year of age which remains unexplained after a thorough case investigation, including performance of a complete autopsy, examination of the death scene, and review of the clinical history.

Stop by City Mom, Country Mom and visit. Read their stories, share in their memories.

Wishful Weds... diet!

I wish' .... I had the willpower to stay on one particular diet, and it would be ______!

The eating CLEAN diet!

This is more than a diet, it's really a lifestyle change. It's changing from processed foods and sugars to healthier choices. It's all about choosing fresh whole foods with the nutrients still in tact. I'm moving in this direction slowly.

 I will not switch 100% but my goal is to be around 80-90% clean with our foods.

Z is for Zoo!

4-1-10 Our first trip to the zoo with Sweet Cheeks!

& a new favorite..

It's working! It's working!

It's McFatty Monday again, y'all.

I've lost 4 lbs! No secrets, No magic tricks, Nothing earth-shattering ... just diet and exercise. Lots of exercise! Lots of fruits and veggies... unprocessed natural foods as much as possible. I want Sweet Cheeks to have more of a clean diet than Mr B and I are used to so we are making the switch! It's a process, a little at a time, but we are getting there.

Last week's agenda:

Monday - 30 day shred + 20 mins on elliptical
Tuesday - 30 day shred + 20 mins on elliptical
Weds - 20 mins on elliptical
Thurs - Zoo trip. Walked a lot!
Friday - rest day
Saturday - 25 mins on elliptical + 1 hour walk in the sunshine
Sunday - rest day

The good - It's working! 4 lbs lost!
The bad - I need to find new ways to incorporate exercise so I don't get board. I'm not board yet but I can see it happening.

The goals - Keep it up! & To find new music for my ipod.
