Torn

That's exactly how I'm feeling. There are 3 different eating habits that's in looking at and can't seem to choose. I thought I had found the one when I posted last, but since then I've been doing some more reaserch.

There's the 6 small meals a day, my mom's nutritionists meal plan (which unfortunately I'm not allowed to share, I will say that it consists of three meals a day with LOTS of veggies) and lastly, the paleo plan.

I'm in love with all three, choosing the right one is what I'm having a little bit of a hard time with. I have to keep in mind that I'm doing this not just for me, this is a life style change for the entire family.

6 small meals is hard with my husband. My mom's is hard on my kids because it consists of lots of veggies. Although my kids do eat them, they need more. Now paleo, only thing with that one is that we are huge grain eaters :(

After typing all this out I think I finally figured it out. My mom is going to be a bit disappointed but I'm sure she will understand. It might take my family a little bit to get it fully going, but paleo it is.

All we can do is start slowly.

Stoked

I'm super stoked!

Finally got my 1st real workout in for the year a few days ago, which by the way I'm still sore from LOL Plus, I came across an awesome blog yesterday when looking for clean eating meal ideas before heading to the grocery store.

Meals Fit for a Family has a ton of different meal plans, complete with shopping lists and recipes.  All her meals look super easy and sound delicious! I have the turkey chili pie in the crockpot now and it smells awesome. Her shopping list made it super easy for me to go grocery shopping yesterday. I loved going in there with a list of what I needed and knowing exactly why!

Just in case you were wondering, the menus are based on 6 small meals a day and she also gives you times of when you should be eating each meal. The 1st meal starts at 6am, which does not work with me since I don't get up until 6:45am. Its ok though, I can customize it to my schedule which I totally love!

I'm hoping this great blog find and me being back at the gym gets me to where I want to be.

Here's my breakfast for this morning from the Week 1-2 menu of Meals Fit for a Family. Whites Spinach Feta Omelet didn't just sound delicious, it WAS delicious!

Start

I finally started 2 more of my New Years goals and both got started the same day :) Its about time I know lol

Can't wait till I can finally take my lovers car out by myself! Well past my street that is lol Today was the 1st time I drove my lovers 350z by myself without him telling me what to do. I would have to say I did pretty good. Stalled a crap load of times but I finally got the hang of it on my last go at it. Hoping to get a chance to do it again tomorrow.

Scheduling

We are half way threw the January and I have yet to really start any of my New Years resolutions :(

Gyms been postponed do to my crazy work schedule.

Eating habits aren't quite there yet.

I at least started a book lol

And here I am blogging so that's also good. Now to try to kick it up a notch and get on the right track!

So many things I want to accomplish this year! I really need to sit down think out my month and plan everything out so I can get it all done. Well at least I'm hoping that will help.

New Year New Goals

This year I set myself 10 New Years goals. Starting off with a healthier smaller me. I'm not to sure how I'll do because this is the 1st year I actually set goals for myself...I won't say I'm determined to check them all off because I know that that is not a word for me! I will say that I'll try my best! To help me out I have set up a check list on my Kindle Fire as well as a count down that will help me keep an eye on a few with specific numbers.

Wishing for a great year with my awesome little family!

Work

I think I need to set a weekly alarm to remind me to blog. Im bad as it is and especially now that I'm working!

Weeks ago I should have posted my update on my weight loss goal but never got around to it, so here it is. All tho I don't have a picture and I didn't quite meet my goal, I did get down to 139 by my goal date. Since then Iv been fluctuating, which I know is horrible :( I'm hoping that now that I'm working and can't eat as I please, when I please, I can keep a steady weight.

Busy Bee

I love being asked to crochet special little somethings. These past two months I had two orders to fulfill. The 1st was for a birthday girl in love with Hello Kitty. I was asked to make a scarf. This one to be exact. At a glance I was a bit skeptical but figured I could do it. I got all the regular squares done 1st and then her face. Her face killed me =/ The details are so small that I had the hardest time doing them and then once they were on I still had to use a dab of fabric glue to make sure they didn't pop out of place. At the end I was pretty happy with it, but I'm now determined to find away to make her eyes and nose look even better lol



The birthday girls mamí happens to be a one of the friends I made at our 1st duty station who is expecting a baby boy =] While she is stationed in Germany and I miss German chocolate and their delicious teas, we agreed to a little barter. A care package from Germany for a baby blanket. Now I LOVE making baby blankets so I was super excited to get started. I had all ready decided I wanted to make this blanket different, a pattern/stitch I had never done before so I turned to my trusty friend Google. After a few min I found the pattern I wanted to use. I am super in love with it that I am seriously considering making one for us =]
