Hope everyone had a nice and safe Memorial Weekend! Nick and I did a little exploring....
I'm a California girl born and raised and I met my amazing fun loving Michigan man to show me to a wonderful state that has so much to offer in hidden areas!
Stoney Creek was our first adventure ^^Picture above
 We got alot of our cardio in this day we walked everywhere until I started getting eaten alive by the mosquito's...
Then we headed to Birmingham where I had this delicious crab cake with avocado and tomato, see eating out can still be fun and healthy!

Then we stopped off for a little fun wine tasting at our favorite spot Michigan by the Bottle! The staff is always so friendly when we go there...not too often because we gotta stick to our diet a little... ;)

Day 2 started with a good workout in the morning and we had an early lunch! Love sushi! we try to stay away from the fried stuff and only order a few rolls and share them.

Day 3

We took the pup pup to a little beach nearby and let him frolic around in the water! Nick taught rocky how to swim in the freezing cold river! Have you ever chased around a dog and played fetch for three hours!?!? It's a good workout let me tell you! 


Day 4

This was today's challenge....it has started!! I took my PT Fit test and I wish of course I would have done better but hey that's what this journey is all about right?? There is no PERFECT in fitness, there's no one way is the right way of doing things....You find what you like to do and try your hardest!

 This definitely kicked my butt, it brought flash backs from boot camp, It was actually super fun! And because I thought it was fun it flew by!! I'm so excited to for tomorrow!

 Yeah snapchat had the perfect filter today!! LOL pretty much how I felt! But it hurt so good!
This was tonight's dinner...found a recipe of pinterest and it was delicious! Love pinterest you can always find amazing meals, healthy and of course not healthy...but life is all about choices right?? Sometimes we have to make a bunch of choices that aren't always the RIGHT one but they always lead us to where we are supposed to be!

And the end product is right here! My guilty pleasure is that glass of wine you see right there.  Ive been trying to keep tabs on that too and fill it only to a certain point so I don't have as many calories...but who am I kidding, grapes are a fruit right?? LOL

Hospital Bag!

   Well our bags are packed and we are ready when ever this little guy is! It's 38 weeks and I've changed what I've packed about 20 times, but I think I've nailed it at this point. We only live like 15 mins from the actual hospital and once little man is born Nick can always come back home and get what we need if anything.  I only planned for like 3 days at the most, keep in mind EVERY hospital is different with what they will and won't supply you with, especially dependent on insurance too. So ALWAYS check with your OB and hospital prior. Diaper bag So first up let's talk baby items. My hospital provides the following: Diapers, t-shirt, blankets, hat, socks, pacifier, swaddles, and formula. Almost everything you need for a baby to go home with. What i'm bringing.  Clothes: 2-3 Newborn outfits 2-3 --0-3 outfits Only because we don't know how big he will be and what he will and won't fit into. Accessories: 2-3 swaddles 2 pairs of socks Newborn and siz...

New adventures!

Hey All! I'm starting a new venture this year! Lots of new things going on for me and my husband already! 1st year of nursing school down! So excited my passion for helping people and saving lives and well underway! This new venture is a perfect opportunity to help doing so with the battle of obesity.  Today I signed up to be a new Beachbody Coach! Pretty excited.  Not everyone knows but I struggled with weight for a while before I joined the Airforce. Pretty sure it was my eating habits one year my metabolism basically stopped. I've always been small and petite and exercised but usually ate whatever I wanted.  Not the best of ideas.  I went from 105lbs to almost 150lbs. This was not just unhealthy but it was depressing and I just kept eating all the time.  I literally tried everything! I went to the Dr. because I thought something HAD to be wrong with me.  I had all the tests done and everything was clean.  So I worked out I ate hardly anything ...
