Just a no BS Blog: The struggle is all too real. Family time with my Kiddos is the BEST time!

The headline says it all.
I had a rough week. My eating was fine. My sleeping COMPLETELY OUT OF WHACK...led to many unnecessary things.
I have to get better at brushing things off. Month end used to be my FAVORITE!! I loved the grind and the push and the buzz...lately...not so much...I somehow have to figure this out and find a good balance. Way TOO many things out of my control. Makes this girl NUTSO!

My workouts this week were on point. THIS DOES NOT MEAN ANYTHING other than I didn't die. :0)
My shoulder is on the mend and I could not be happier about it. I am still having to pick and choose how much to put on it but I feel so good about this! The Open starts at the end of this month. I just want to feel like I am READY! (whatever that means)

Costco trip was a little lighter this week-LURONGERS- have you figured out your "staple" items yet? I think i had to get more items at Target than at Costco today!

Love to keep Rotel on hand- the bag with my name? Fish from my Pops!

Since I am blogging during the Superbowl (yes I am the lame person avoiding Superbowl parties so I don't cheat)- going to get right to food.
Starting week 3 of Lurong. Not doing as well as I did last time. My eating is fine- there are just some other things out of sync..hoping to figure them out soon.

I have been following the 30 day eating plan ISH. Its had some great ideas. Super excited to try this weeks breakfast! I have done this in an avocado before but never just as a muffin! Cut bacon in half- cook about halfway through I just made an X with them in the muffin tin and dropped my egg on top. When they were done- I bagged them up in 2's quick and ready to go!

Got my sprializer this week. Can you say love at first sight? I had some zuchinni and squash that I bought last week and I didn't know what to do with it- I spiralized it all and froze it. Hopefully this will cook up great at a later date and it was not all for nothing!

I had to laugh when I saw what this leaves at the end. Not sure why this is so funny to me!

I know its really not a soup kind of week but I am super excited for this- I added some spiralized "zoodles" I opted for the crockpot cooking method.

Leftover Spaghetti squash and bomb meat sauce

LURONGERS-anyone else ending up with a bunch of leftovers? Here is what I opted to do because I HATE to waste healthy food. I made a few little "freezer meals" I am not really sure how these will heat up but I am hoping they are what my mind is imaging.

So my sweet daughter in law sent this to me. This is not only picture perfect but Paleo as well- Sweet potato bun jalapeno sliders with roasted cauliflower.

Thanks for sharing Jenna!!! :)

Recipe-cut the sweet potato to desired thickness-rub with olive oil and add salt and pepper- bake @ 400 for approx 20 min- the burgers are pretty much however you would like them- she roasted a jalepeno and then added onions, avocado, spinach and bacon!

I seriously can't wait to try these!

LURONGERS!!! How is everyone doing on their goals???

I was so HAPPY to be able to get some KIDDOS time on Friday- not only did I get to attend a baby shower for my sweet daughter I was able to enjoy an evening of food, fun, laughing and sharing memories. I do not think most people will ever really completely grasp the dynamics of the relationship that I share with these kids and how absolutely PROUD I am of them and what they have chosen to do with their lives. I cant believe the next time I see LaTonya she will be a sweet Mommy!!!! Just a few pics from a fun night (yes I put my pep club sweater on Scarlet- future Viking maybe?) Please enjoy the pics- ESPECIALLY THE SELFIES. Yes..My Mom and I took a selfie...
