Healthy eating

Hi all! Happy Wednesday! Is anyone else feeling as restless as I am? I can't tell if it's just the time of year, or if it's because everything in my life is so complacent right now, but in any case, I think it's time for a change.

For a little background, about a year ago I stepped on the scale and clocked in at the highest weight ever. I decided it was time to do something about it. So, my wonderful and faithful friend, Amanda, and I decided we would try to lose about two pounds a month. Twelve months later, I have been able to drop 12 pounds and successfully keep it off. I have now plateaued, but I loved the feeling of losing weight. I felt like I was in control and could actually DO something good for myself!

With this in mind, and with my current restless state, I have decided it's officially time to change up my diet and eat more healthfully! (About time, right?) I was able to lose the 12 pounds last year by cutting down my portions and increasing my workouts. I was never actually brave enough to change what I ate. It's time to take living a healthy lifestyle to a whole new level.

So why not start now?! I am planning to take the next few days of the week to look up some great recipes including healthy but hearty dinners (that my hubby will actually eat), and quick but nutrient packed lunches. I am open to anything!

Who knows where I will be in another twelve months?? :)

Quote of the Day

Pinterest quote of the day: "Act as if it is impossible to fail." Love it! Sometimes I get so caught up wondering if I'm doing everything right with my workouts and what I eat, that I just feel like it's impossible to stay on track. But this quote reminds me to stay positive. Everyday I just need to do my best and the rest will work out on its own.

In other news, I spent the weekend in Columbus with my cousin who is now hitched! I had so much fun on her wedding weekend. We frosted cupcakes...

Caught up with old friends...

And ate dessert at the head table!

Have I mentioned lately how much I LOVE weddings? I always manage to have fun. :)

In other news, I am getting super tired of running on the "dread"mill. High winds kept me inside on Sunday for what was supposed to be my long run of the week. It turned into a three mile jog. Out of pure, unadulterated boredom. Bleh. I realize the Lord will not give you more than you can bare, but I'm getting really close! Please bring on spring soon!

Well, that's all for now. Tomorrow is already Tuesday! Much love!

Blog Updates!

Attention: Work in Progress! I got to thinking today that's it's been quite a while since my last post - a month to be exact - and I've decided it's time to do some major updating. So, everything that's on here may be changed soon, but for tonight, this is what I've come up with. My new goal is to spend at least 4 hours a week on my blog. I really love to do it! But time is a major constraint. And getting this new laptop I'm on doesn't hurt anything either. :) Enjoy!
