Jessica- Absence/Advice

Hi Everyone!
Sooooo I know I said I'd blog every day and I haven't for a few days. Still feeling slightly under the weather and haven't made it to the gym due to that. My plan is to make my return tomorrow night for hip hop. I'm sorry but hopefully I'll be back soon! Just a side note I would like to point out. I am not perfect. I have never claimed to be perfect. I am quite the opposite. My main goal is to educate others on how to lead a healthy life and change bad habits. I realize that old habits die hard and I really want to stress the importance of moderation. Cutting things out completely is never the answer because it will only cause you to crave it more. The key is to finding a healthy balance. Is it okay to sometimes splurge? Yes. Do I splurge?? YES!!! Do I sometimes eat things that are not healthy? Yes. Is that okay? Yes- as long as it isn't all the time, and as long as you complete exercise to go along with that. Did I eat some foods in the last few days that weren't healthy? Yes. Hey guess what... I still lost almost 3 pounds in the last week. Now that I've said that, I would also like to stress the importance of support. Judging and guilting someone for their eating choices is NEVER an option. What you eat is your choice and you should not be afraid of being scrutinized by someone by indulging in something that you think is a good "sometimes treat". Here is what I ask of you:
1. Love each other.
2. Support each other. 
3. Inspire each other.
4. Encourage each other.
5. Do what you need to do for you to live a healthy life (whatever that means to you). 

 Hopefully I'll be back tomorrow!

September Foodie Pen Pals

Check out all these delicious treats! Let's take a break from all the depression talk and let's talk food! I haven't done Foodie Pen Pals in quite some time and I thought this could be a good opportunity during this season in my life to have some food while my energy is low. This month I was matched up with Jen over at  The Happy Healthy Balance  and boy, did she spoil me! Most of the things she sent me were from Trader Joe's which made me laugh. The closest Trader Joe's is 36 miles away. Sad face. But my family has had an obsession with that store for years. My brother first introduced it to us when he lived in St Louis (I think) and since then we always get TJ food for Christmas, birthdays, what have you. Good thing they have them in LA. Come on Fort Collins, catch up! If anyone asked me I would say I am not a picky eater. As it turns out, when other people pick out my food, my pickiness tends to come out. A lot of the stuff Jen sent me is not stuff I

May Foodie PenPals

Image
For this month, I was matched up with Gina over at  Health, Love and Chocolate  and let me say, she did a wonderful job!!!!  She sent a lot of really great snack foods, which I have to admit I haven't tried a lot of it. Mainly due to the fact that I haven't been working out like I usually do. But these snacks make GREAT pre-workout snack, especially if you are a busy busy on-the-go kinda person like I am! One of my favorites was the LUNA bar. It was delicious and the perfect size! I'm gonna have to start buying these! YUMMMMMM! Probably my favorite in the entire box was the Teriyaki Dried Chicken Breast. SO GOOD! I actually ate it as a snack yesterday when I was sitting in the van with the kids waiting for the rain to subside so we could go tour the farm! Poor kids wanted to have some but I didn't want to share. :) (They didn't starve- they had vanilla wafers... that a squirrel later got into, but that's a different story) It was AMAZ

March Foodie Pen-Pals

Image
This was my first time ever doing Foodie PenPals. When I heard about it I thought it sounded like a GREAT idea. It surpassed everything I ever imagined! I received a box from Adrianne. It was also her first time doing FPP. I was super excited to receive her box! :) I'd had a really bad day, so arriving home to my box was such a mood lifter. You can see in my face it had been a rough day :) Adrianne had put together a beautiful St Patrick's Day box for me. Do you see all that green?? CONTENTS OF THE BOX Look at all that!!! I was AMAZED at all the things she fit in that box. So many great things that excited me SO MUCH. :)  The first was Azteca Granola made by Adrianne. It was delicious! The mixture of sweet, salty and spicy was wonderful. I will be making this in the future. It would be great as a present for friends or something to bring to a potluck (I'm thinki
