Miracle Morning Challenge

Another amazing family weekend started with friends and family at the Andover Country Club pumpkin carving and hayride. The girls had a great time with us and their friends tooo. Caroline loved the hayride but Courtney said it wasn't scary enough.

Saturday morning Caroline had her last soccer game and got a medal. She was so proud of it she wanted to wear it the rest of the weekend...even to the pumpkin patch and church. Courtney went to Richmond for the EKU Homecoming game. She got to walk in the pre-game walk with the dance team since she went to the dance clinic the week before. RiRi and PaPa brought her home and watched the 1st half of the exciting UK game...down to the last seconds and UK pulled out the win!!

Sunday we went to church and I taught children's church with Courtney's help. I still get anxious when I teach children's church. I don't know why...I am fine when I am in the class but I always worry I won't get their attention and it will get out of control. However, they always seem to enjoy it and have fun...even doing the simple things like coloring and stickers.

After church we had lunch at Jalenpeno's which wasn't the best choice before leading Country Heat LIVE. I had a full tummy and it wasn't as easy to move around, but I made it through!! I know for the future to eat lighter lunches though especially on Sunday's!!

After dance, I did my fruit and veggie prep for the week and then we went to the Centenary trunk or treat. Caroline dressed as Izzy from Jack and the Neverland Pirates and Courtney was a dancer. It was an amazing day weather wise!! Caroline loved getting candy and seeing all her friends. Courtney's favorite part was making and eating smores!!

This week I'm starting my Miracle Morning challenge. I am going to start each morning with and entry in my journal or blog, have some silence and reflection time and complete my workout. It's going to be a busy week, but starting each morning with this routine will get me focused for the day!

There is still time to join the challenge...for more info email me at atabb01@gmail.com or message me on Facebook!!

Shakeology No Bake Cookies

Over the weekend, I made Shakeology No Bake Cookies (or balls). I prefer to make these as balls rather than flattening them as cookies. I've made them with both Chocolate and Vanilla Shakeology and both are good. Using the Vanilla Shakeology actually creates Peanut Butter Balls...you don't really notice the vanilla...it just mixes in. My girls and husband prefer the Peanut Butter Balls, but when I am craving chocolate...this is a great option! The girls love helping with this recipe and it's super easy! Ingredients: 1 cup Chocolate or Vanilla Shakeology 1 cup all-natural peanut butter 1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats 1/2 cup raw honey How to Make: Combine ingredients into a medium bowl, mix well with rubber spatula or by hand. Roll mixture into balls about 1 inch in size. Put into container. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours. Enjoy cold.

Home Workouts brought my Pre-Baby Body & Confidence Back

After having my two girls, I struggled with getting to the gym as its daycare hours didn’t work around my schedule. The best day for me was Saturday morning and thenI had to gather my iPad, earbuds, towel, diapers, wipes and two girls. By the time we were buckled into the car, 30 minutes later, someone had to go to the bathroom. Then once we got to the gym, I did an hour of cardio while watching Mad Men and walked around the equipment trying to recall sessions with a personal trainer years ago. Then a week later, we did it all over again and during the week, I walked outside a few nights a week. My eating habits were somewhat healthy, but I finished my daughter’s mac and cheese and nibbled on her pretzels and goldfish during snack time. As a result, I didn't lose weight, I was tired and I was somewhat depressed as I missed the time and luxury of going to the gym before they were born. Then a friend posted her results from 21 Day Fix and I asked her a few questions th

Almond Joy candy vs. wonder whip

As Halloween approaches, candy options are more and more tempting. Ok, maybe candy is tempting all year around!! You want to think those little pieces of chocolate won't affect your weight goals, but they can. Especially when it's hard to just eat one or two. Personally, I would much rather have several bites of dessert than just one, so these wonder whip solutions are an amazing alternative to a few pieces of candy!! They are much more filling and satisfying!! Whip up a bowl today and give your sweet tooth what it wants!! Thanks to Ilana Muhlstein for sharing this recipe and her registered dietitian knowledge through the 2B Mindset Nutrition program and certified mentorship training! B oth the Almond Joy candy and wonder whip have 235 calories, but you get a WHOLE cup with the whip rather than just two bites!! Ingredients: 1 Cup 0-2% Plain Greek Yogurt 1 TBSP unsweetened Shredded Coconut 1 TBSP Cocoa Nibs 2 tsp. cocoa powder
