Hi bloggerrs!
I have not blogged in about 10 days & boy do I miss it! Things were obviously crazzy with the holidays, but I definitely was practicing verrry healthy ways in spite of all the hustle and bustle.
I worked out every day except Christmas day. Lifetime was packed! But, it felt so good to get out and bust my butt before enjoying any holiday treats. & they were 10x better having gotten a hard workout in. I also ate less than I normally would (although I did let myself indulge). And I drank ONLY a glass to 2 glasses of wine/champs each night. Usually, in the past, I would’ve let it flow.
So, I am feeling wonderful and happy as I get ready for the new year!
Right now I am catching up on here, drinking coffee, and getting ready to go out shopping.
HOPE YOU ALL HAD A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS/or other family celebrations!
XO, mm

What motivates you all?!
Today is the day to get ready for new week! Get in the mindset to make it an incredible week, full of healthy decisions & productive actions! Plan, plan, plan, & then go out and make this week a HUGE success :)) Get all of your laundry done, get meals planned, workouts planned, room cleaned, etc.
How do you all prepare for the week?!
What makes a Sunday morning so relaxing?! I just love Sundays & I love waking up and enjoying my coffee (not hungover) and feeling happy after a wonderful weekend. As I stated in my post a few days ago, my brother is in the military and was able to come home yesterday! YAYY!
Last night we went to the Black Forest Inn, as a fam, and it was wonderful. This place is an authentic German Inn and it is sooo cool. When at a place, such as this, I feel it is important to indulge in the culture a little bit but still keep it under control.
Before I picked him up at the airport, I got an hour workout in and made sure to push it extra hard. At dinner I had two glasses of German wine and had one potato pancake (there was no negotiating this one). For dinner I had the special which was a juicy pork chop with plum sauce w/ a side of sauerkraut (only ate 1/2 and boxed the rest) & I subbed a side salad.
For the rest of the day I will relax, read your blogs, and drink coffee (& probs get a workout in). HAPPY SUNDAY!!
What do you all do on Sundays?!
Happy Thursday!
Today I am sort of starting a cleanse, nothing intense. I just chopped up cucumbers, lemons, and limes and threw them in 3 different HUGE containers with water and am letting them sit in the fridge and then I will drink it all up and make more over the next 4 days. Also, I am drinking 4 cups of green tea a day with a little Apple Cider Vinegar to really just flush out my system (I usually only drink about 4 cups a week).
Since I am at the new place and have a new kitchen, I want to really get into my system and kind of re-charge a little bit!
For breakfast today,
I had Quinoa w/ berries & some coconut milk. YUMM.
Then for lunch I had Quinoa (the other 1/2 of the batch from lunch) & mixed in tons of spinach and topped with 2 eggs (extra runny).
What I am loving RIGHT now:
This nail color, perfect for this holiday season & gold jewelry! (not me pictured but I will be copying the look quite soon) :))
& THIS quote.
How do you guys quick cleanse?! or flush out your system?
I’m definitely feeling a little extra motivation is in order for this weekend! Here are two quotes I’m loving right now & I feel are very applicable.
What are your favorite quotes?!
