Easter

Happy Wednesday! Little late to the party but momma had a stomach bug Sunday/Monday. Ugh no bueno. 

Anyways we had a great Easter. It is such a wonderful holiday. The true meaning of Easter is so humbling. Who am I that he gave his only son to die for my sins. I am so thankful that I serve such a good God! Church service was Ahmazing! Our church puts on a production called The Thorn, if you have never seen it, I highly recommend. Such a great depiction of Jesus life and sacrifice. Brings me to tears everytime.  


We did the egg hunt on Saturday with some friends. Isaiah was less than interested in this. It was quite funny, he was like "why do I need this bucket, and what are these eggs" he wasn't even interested in the candy. He wanted to see the dogs, ride four wheelers and be a boy!! Love that kid!  


Sunday we just relaxed after church. We let Isaiah "help" us wash the cars. Boy was that an adventure. He loved playing with the hose but layed in the driveway crying when we took it away. Bless his heart he's such a stinker. Hope you all had a great weekend and fab week so far. I will be glad when our house gets over this funk!!! I was on a lysol rampage last night. Die germs Die!!

Fell off the wagon

This has been a crazy month. Crazy at work, busy at home, just feels like never enough hours in the day. I started the whole 30 this month, honestly it will end up being the whole 15-20. Not gonna lie this has been way harder this time. I was pumped, ready to do this then BOOM life happens. 


Meal prepping is probably the most important thing for this challenge. It's also the thing I struggle with the most. It's so time consuming and I do ALL the food prep for us. Brian works long hours and is not usually able to help much. Not to mention chopping, cooking, and storing all the food with an 18 month old at your feet is torture at times. Granted these are all excuses, excuses I have used to not fulfill my commitment to this challenge. Fell off the bandwagon and hit several rocks on the way down. 


On my work days it is usually easier cause we are busy and not a lot of time to snack. On the other hand it can be so busy you have no time for a break & you end up eating peanut butter & baked lays all day (readily available in the hospital). Aaahhhh the struggle! At home it's the temptation to eat Isaiah's snacks, a goldfish here, a fruit snack there and before you know it it's a stressed out Friday night and somehow Jets pizza is at your door! 
Brian and I have been sick this week and eating healthy is just not what I have been craving so milkshakes, panera bread and cookies have been on the menu. The month isn't over and I will do my best to try and reel in my inner junk food beast!! Hope everyone has a blessed Easter .
