Friday’s five years ago to now have changed so much and I wouldn’t have it any other way. This evening we had green olive cheese burgers and salads for dinner, prepped and made together, which isn’t something we get to do too often! Travis braved the cold to cook them on the grill! 😉 Recipe below. Post dinner, we are watching Trolls, eating popcorn and mommy is having a little wine. Life is so amazing amazing through my little ones eyes. So precious.

16 oz 85/15 Ground Beef made into 4oz Patties
1 oz Colby Cheese
5 Olives (cut up)
Seasoned with Salt and Pepper, garlic powder and onion Powder
When burgers are close to being done add olives and cheese

Salad:

So, about two weeks ago, I decided to google search, “toddler chore chart”  Oh my gosh!!! It has taken my sometimes sassy when I ask her to do things 3.5 year old to so proud to do all these things. We implemented a hamper in her room also and when it’s half way full, we take a trip in the basement together and do hers and Makenzie’s laundry!! Who would of thought, a piece of a paper with tasks on it would be such a helpful tool in our home. #momwin Click here for the chart and lots of other great ones as well!

Yesterday was a day where oh, you know, I didn’t go shopping Sunday night, I didn’t prep much food besides Travis’ meals for work and yes, I said meals because he eats 5-6 times per day(good grief, right!?) So needless to say yesterday was a bit hectic and one of those kind where you make things work with what you have. So here is a view inside of my meals yesterday:

Every morning I start with lots of black coffee followed by a shake.
My shake consisted of:

9AM
1 C. Almond/Coconut Milk
2 Tbsp Organic Heavy Whipping Cream
1 Scoop Nutri-Dyn Greens-Chocolate, purchased from Motions, Click here  to check out the products
Splash Mint Extract

Noon
Next Meal about 3 hours later, my workout was done in between this time

3PM
1 Can Tuna
1.5 Tbsp Mayonnaise
10 Green Olives
1/2 C Romaine Lettuce mixed in as well
Salt and Pepper to taste

5:30 PM
Bulletproof Coffee
1 Tbsp Organic Salted Butter
1 Tbsp Organic Coconut Oil
Blended
1 Tbsp Natural Peanut Butter

7 PM
4 oz Steak cooked in a skillet with 1 Tbsp Organic Salted Butter
1 C. Frozen Green Beans sauteed in skillet with 1/2 Tbsp Organic Salted Butter

My Day’s total between 1100-1300 calories generally, unless I cheat 😉

This is who I spend my days with. I am fortunate enough to be able to stay at home with my girls. Some days I feel like a rock star and other days I feel like I can’t keep up. There’s days when I wake up early, get my coffee on, complete my workout, take a shower and get ready for the day, those days are rock star days! AND then there are the other days, when I wake up when the girls do, I drink my coffee, because that’s a priority and then I get to my workout, those days can be entertaining to try and get it finished. Most days I am doing 5 other things while trying to get it in, but that is always my promise to myself, you have to finish your workout because it is what keeps you sane. We try and have a routine, but some days as we know, it just doesn’t go as planned. I can’t wait to keep writing more and sharing my life with you all. Thanks for reading. 🙂
