Tomorrow is August 1st. The goal setting, perfectionist in me loves that tomorrow is a Monday as well as the beginning of the month. What a perfect way to set some fitness and nutrition goals to see a positive shift in my physique!!
Here is what is planned for dinner this week:
Monday: chicken with broccoli and mushrooms (egg noodles for the kids as well)
Tuesday: Turkey meatballs with zucchini noodles (rice for kids)
Wednesday: Stuffed portobello mushrooms
Thursday: Chicken soba noodles with vegetables (no noodles for me)
Friday: Burgers with cucumber dill salad (lettuce as bun for me)
I leave the weekends empty because anything can happen and we may be visiting the In-Laws or plan something later in the week that I can go shopping for closer to the weekend. Anyhow, when I make dinner I will be sure to make extra so there is leftovers for hubby's lunch. My lunches will be protein and veggies (salad or sweet potato usually). Breakfast is up to everyone else. I will most likely be having a protein shake for breakfast this week.
Last week I was having some knee pain, so I didn't get any running or long walks in. Today it is feeling fine, so I will reincorporate my 3 miles back into my days. I enjoy it and want to get my running built back up. The area is gorgeous around here and I am looking forward to having some alone time enjoying the view and putting some miles in.

Life Changes Quickly
Restarting the blog. Since April we received news that my Mother-In-Law has stage 3 lung cancer. That news inspired us to put in paperwork to ask for a transfer to be closer to her. That paperwork was approved and we have just settled in our new home.
Moving means I'm no longer working. I will be full time stay at home Mom again, and I am not going to take it for granted this go round. I am have goals set for my fitness, my culinary desires, as well as, helping foster my children's spiritual, educational, and physical growth.
Moving also means more family time and doing things we love to do as a family. Like hunting, fishing, camping, and generally being outdoors.
I hope to get the kids into some sort of music lessons, like piano, and would like to see them in some sort of group sports. Basketball seems to be the sport of choice at the moment, so this fall we will be hitting the courts.
My April goals fell by the wayside, and really all my goals disappeared until we were settled in our new place. Now that we are here, I am excited to be working towards improvement.
Things I am very grateful for:
1)-Decluttering!!! Going through all of our stuff and removing the excess helped our move go so smoothly. It was easy to pack and it was easy to unpack. I will be forever grateful for the KonMarie method and what it has done for my household.
2)-Being financially secure. Hubby and I have been working hard the past few years to build up our savings and manage our finances better. We had money to move with and we have used the money the military paid us to pay off some debt. We are working on our debt snowball, but we have our emergency fund, and our 6 months of savings built. I should have a planned pathway for our debt snowball by September. It will be a marvelous day when we have no debt and our savings!!
3)-Testimony. My testimony is strong right now, and it was so important in knowing that this move was what the Lord wanted for us. It is important to know that you are walking the pathway the Lord wants for you. I know we are in the place we need to be at this moment.
4)- My husband! My husband blows my mind daily with his love, service, and his 'do it' attitude. He packed up our entire house, put it in a uhaul, drove us 600 miles, unloaded, unboxed, and set up the whole house with me in about 2 weeks time. He does everything in his power to make sure I am happy and the kids will be able to flourish. We are his priority and I am so so very grateful for him everyday!
Over the next few months I foresee some recipes, financial ideas, ladies night ideas, and of course fitness ideas. I am working everyday on loving where I live and being Glad.
