It's Been A While
So I originally started this blog when we decided to take our boys to my husbands home country of India,it was difficult to keep up on this in India because of the internet (internet has changed since our trip ), so I let it die. I need to mention our trip to India was amazing this is A beautiful country and it was so great to finally meet more of Flynns family and to see where he grew up. I can't wait to go back again.Recently I have been inspired by my dearest friend Nicole and her blog foodfaddyflight.weebly.com to bring this back to life. ( i'll get to that later ) It's been 6 years so let's catch up A little. My boys are now 14, 10 & 9, they are still the loves of my life and we are busy as ever, Hunter is going into High School next year and already doing football at the High School with the freshman coaches preparing for the 20016-17 school year. I can't wait to be A football mom. Noah & Oliver are busy with scouts every week and we love it,not to mention school for all three of them and just every day hustle & bustle of life in general. My husband Flynn and I are very busy running our 3 stores. On our spare time we spend as much time as we can with our dear friends Nicole & Vj and there 2 sweet girls, hanging out with our boys, hiking, camping, boating, traveling,quading, or just hanging out with my sisters & parents.Our life is great and extremely busy.
Since this blog we have gotten to travel with friends & family to some great places and make wonderful memories we have been to Mexico, Colorado, San Francisco,San Deigo, Newport beach,Seattle, Vancouver Canada & Camping in Greer,& Forrest lakes, and zip trips every fridays with my family last summer, for those of you who are un familiar with zip tripping, it's basically day trips within your state/area that are time/cost effective, we are looking forward to this summers zip trips.Lastly not to mention 4 wheeling & quading ,here are some of my favorite pics of our adventures.
So that's just some of our travels in A nut shell, we had so much fun already I, can't wait to see whats next.
So now I am at the reason I decided to start my blog again. My dearest friend has this blog foodfaddyflight.weebly.com go check it out it's great, anyways she blogs about the ups/downs of losing weight and she posts these great recipes and just the trials of losing weight. I love it. I have used lots of her recipes and they are great. I have my own struggles and we talk about it with each other and share things in general so I would like to do the same thing she is doing with her blog I just love following her. I am down 28 lbs already ( yay ) and she has been A great inspiration for me. We are the best of friends and our families do everything together so why not join her in this journey.I am also going to blog about my life in general.So my eating down falls :
1. Date Night with Nicole & our husbands.... I love date night so I try and make good choices but it usually goes right out the window when appetizers are ordered.It's A good thing date night is only every few weeks ( sometimes )
2. Chocolate I love dark chocolate.enough said
3.Ice cream/frozen yogurt ...... enough said
4.Diet Dr. Pepper, Usually have 1 every day but the last 2 months I have not had any & I noticed A big difference however.... this week I tanked and have had 1 every single night not just 1 can A 44oz cup.
5.chips..... I don't even keep them in the house, well because everyone in this family likes chips. ( remember I have 5 boys in the house )
So these are my current struggles.The last 2 months have been salad only fresh fruits/veggies(this is A given for us we just like lots of fruits/veggies) I cook a lot of authentic Indian food which I both love and have stayed away from so it helps that Flynn & Hunter have jumped on the salad bandwagon, now I don't have to cook 2 different meals A day. Bonus the little boys love salad as well. So I am pretty excited to share my journey and daily life which is huge for me to share my struggles.
