So yummy..have you seen these?

I love these. I walked by them in the grocery store and had to try them. As a resident of Massachusetts would say...They are wicked good..and seriously only 100 calories too. What a great snack. I am just going to have to try all the flavors. So far I have only tried the green chai tea flavor. You should try them and tell me what you think.

Weigh in and workout buddies

SO I've started watching what I eat and starting to get results. I started May day at 174, today I'm weighing at 168. Slow and steady and I'll get there. My milk supply seems plentiful, Asher seems content. The kids are even getting into it..lol...they joined me for my workout today. I use a exercise ball and weights ad hey all grabbed their play balls and my little weights and joined in...so funny

When you can't get out for iced coffee

Come up with a new option....tada

With warm weather in full swing, put a springtime twist on coffee by putting your coffee over ice

Begin with the Perfect Brew
All delicious java drinks begin with a rich, robust cup of coffee, so use your favorite beans and a coffeemaker or French press to get started. Brew your coffee on the stronger side, as the coldness can dull the taste.

Tip: Create your own flavored coffee at home by grinding together your beans and favorite spices, like cinnamon and nutmeg, before you brew. Be sure to clean your grinder thoroughly afterward to make sure the flavor doesn't transfer to your next batch.

Coffee Over Ice: Forget the barista! To quickly create your own iced java:

1.Fill a glass or to-go mug with ice.
2.Pour in cooled coffee. Add 1-2 tablespoons flavored syrup and stir, or use your usual milk and sweetener.
Tip: Before you pour out brewed coffee that's gone cold, consider putting the pot directly into the refrigerator. Coffee develops deeper, more intense flavor over time, so don't let it go to waste!

Blended Coffee: For a smooth, creamy beverage that rivals your favorite coffee shop:

1.Fill your blender with ice, and then add 2 cups coffee, a dash of heavy cream or your preferred milk and 2-3 tablespoons flavored syrup, honey or sugar.
2.Blend until smooth and pour into a tall glass.
3.Garnish with whipped cream and a drizzle of sweet sauce or a dusting of cocoa powder. Don't forget the straw!
Tip: Make it a coffee shake by adding 1/2 cup frozen fruits like strawberries, raspberries or blueberries to your blender first. For a truly decadent treat, drop in a scoop of vanilla or chocolate ice cream, too!

May day May day....I need help

It's May...a brand new month and I'm ready to conquer the world...okay maybe not world but ready to conquer my weight. My little peanut hits the 5 week mark today, my milk seems very well established and ready for action. So I'm starting today, first Monday of May. What I like about this is that I have a history of trying to lose weight in very unhealthy ways. Since I turned my life over to Jesus I have turned away from those ways but in all honesty sometimes they creep up on me, but with nursing I stay on the course without waving. I do all that is healthy and right for my sweet baby. So here it begins I am posting my weight eeekkk I am weighing in at 174 pounds after baby...yuck that hurt to type, but time to let it all out...well not literally that wouldn't be a pretty sight. So I will be careful with what I eat, and my series of workout tapes. I have my favorite bundle (like old faithfuls) my Slim in 6, My Core Secrets, and even some great kick boxing ones I'll be doing, and then of course my favorite Walk at Home series. I love these and used them in the past to lose all the baby weight from before. Hey you do what you have to when one can't afford a gym or baby sitter..lol.. so stayed tuned to find out how this weight loss adventure goes. What do you do to keep weight off or lose weight?


Yes notice how I use the baby to cover me...Yep time to get sweaty ;0)

Trusting...trusting...um trusting?

Yesterday the kiddos, myself and my mom in law went out to take Jenna shopping at the Disney store for her birthday. So while driving there my van which has been making some crazy noises for a while now, and we know that it needs a radiator because our leaks but to plain honest we just don't have the cash to fix it, so we waited. Well while driving yesterday we broke down 3 times. First seriously I thank God I wasn't alone with kiddos, and that MIL was with me. The first time we broke down near the Water Dept, which was funny considering we overheated and needed water. So MIL walked across the street to fill up our jug with water at the water dept. Got to the mall Grammy took Jenna shopping, then time to go home. Started off and broke down again, pulled over the side of the road, MIL stayed with the kids while a walk a little over a mile to the little store we had passed to by more water and oil and walked back....(by the way while we were broke down NO ONE stopped to help nice world we are living in) tended to the van then again headed home. Then again we broke down at least we weren't way to far from home and my sweet neighbor who is a cop found us just finishing up tending to the van. He followed us home to make sure we made it then he was off. We walked into our home and I just about kissed my kitchen floor....and just about set my van on fire. So now we wait...wait on the Lord. We either buy a new van (which we don't have the money for) or spend the thousands of dollars to get our van fixed (when repairs cost more then the actually worth of the van, and we don't have the money for) So what do we do? Well we are put in a challenge to see how long we can go without a family car and if we are really going to trust God to provide. My spirit says yes but boy does my flesh scream wait a minute...what about....
Sure we have Mike's little car but we don't all fit, so we be making do with what we have and trusting God.
Stayed tuned to see how we actually do with this challenge and how God comes through.
