Progress

Ok, here they are.  I still have mixed feelings about these.  I have gone back and forth several times about posting these.  I am ONLY sharing these because I want to show that a healthy diet, exercise, and the right blend of supplements does work.  I apologize if it offends anyone.  I have never documented my progress before so I wanted to see if I could make visible changes in my body.  I've found that a cheat meal once or twice a week isn't going to kill you and eating the right foods often is key plus a little time at the gym! ;) 

Please excuse the quality of the photos.  
I use my iPhone and some of the images are a little fuzzy.

The beginning of  February...the start of my journey


Yes, I realize the gap of time.
I fell off the wagon a bit and honestly forgot to take pics.

I started taking Catalyst (amino acid supplement) this week.  It is amazing!  I can definitely tell a difference in my muscle tone since starting this supplement.

I must be honest.  I have fallen off the wagon a bit lately.  Adam and I took a trip to Charleston last weekend (blog post to come) and when I'm on vacay, I eat!  It was a much deserved break and I enjoyed every meal!
 I do look forward to continuing to progress by eating clean, killing it in the gym, and taking my supplements!  As y'all can tell I have a passion for nutrition and fitness so feel free to message me any questions, comments, or anything you feel like sharing.  I'd love to talk to you!

Happy Easter (A Little Late)

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter.  Thankfully the rain and cold decided to move out and it turned out to be a beautiful Easter Sunday here!  The boys loved their Easter baskets.  The Easter Bunny did good!  Eli is obsessed with his new cars and hasn't put them down yet.  Van was enthralled by all the Easter eggs...really the candy that was inside of them.  ;)  They attended their first Easter Egg Hunt at church Sunday morning and brought home quite a haul.  Yes, the boys are handfuls right now and sometimes a lot of the time I'm ready to bury myself in the backyard, but it's times like these that make it so worth it.  God is good and the Lord has blessed me with a wonderful family.

He is RISEN!!

Checking out the Easter basket

I tried to get a pic of both boys together.  This is the best I could do... 
Van showing off his new sandals.

Fail on getting Eli to smile.  
He was mad I turned off his cartoons.

Sliding with the big boys

 

 Yet another attempt at a "family" photo

A Little Life Update...

Lately my posts have been about my nutrition and fitness journey, which is going great by the way!  Since it's been awhile since I posted about my 2 crazy little monkeys, I thought I would give a photo update.  The beautiful spring weather has been great for everyone.  The boys love playing outside.  I will let the pics do the talking today...


New shades


Up to no good

Happy Birthday Kennedy






The boys figured out how to climb out of their cribs.
The aftermath...


Total destruction!




It's been a great Spring so far!
