My Live Fit (Weeks 10 & 11) Recap

My Live Fit (Weeks 10 & 11) Recap

Hi all!  Just popping in to share my Week 10 and 11 workout sheets with you.  I’m so happy to be on Week 12 (the final week) now!  I must admit my eating hasn’t been that great the last couple of weeks, and I need to improve that.  My schedule is so up and down during the day that I haven’t been eating my consistent meals.  I need to figure out how to get that under control- I know I’ll feel so much better!

Hope you’re having a great week!

How I Keep My House Plants Alive

How I Keep My House Plants Alive

I should preface this post by saying that I’ve never been able to keep plants alive for long until I bought this variety that, even I, can keep alive with very low maintenance.  It’s just one of those basic “closet plants” that I think I found at Wal-Mart. Any of you know the actual name?

I’ve managed to keep two of these plants alive and thriving for over six months- probably a record for me.  I don’t know if this is technically the best way, but it seems to work for my plants:  I wait until they are drooping about like the photo below before I water them.

Live Fit Weeks 10 & 11 FINISHED

Live Fit Weeks 10 & 11 FINISHED

Ah, I’m so relieved to have finished weeks 10 and 11 of the Live Fit program.  That means I am on the FINAL WEEK!!!  Yay!  And I’m exhausted and ate too much during the Superbowl!  I did work out yesterday even though I didn’t feel like it, but sometimes you just have to push through.  I’m anxious to get measured and weighed again so I can share the results with you.  I’ll do a full recap with pics soon!

Super Bowl Party Recap 2013

Super Bowl Party Recap 2013

Did you watch the game last night?! We hosted an annual Super Bowl party and had a fun, full house.  The weather was absolutely gorgeous, perfect for getting some friends together and hanging out in the backyard.  I knew we’d have a bunch of kiddos, so we rented a bounce house for the afternoon.  The kids (and some adults) loved it and bounced ’til dark.

For food, we served a slow cooked brisket and red beans.  The brisket was huge, about 8 pounds, so I was surprised there wasn’t any left at the end of the party.

Garlic Red Pepper Cauliflower Hummus (Our Fifth House)

Y’all are in for a treat today because one of my favorite people, Carmel of Our Fifth House, finally caved and agreed to share a healthy recipe with us today. Carmel’s blog is definitely one of my daily reads and if you don’t know her, I encourage you to stop by and say hello.  Tell her I sent ya! 🙂

I’m a little bit in love with Carmel’s living room and bedroom, see why?!

Carmel’s family eats gluten-free and has recently gone Paleo too.
