30's

Phew guys Christmas and NY were a BLAST. I almost still feel like it was yesterday (breaks a sweat), and so does my house. I'm already mapping out how to do next year better. I feel like all Advent I was in a good flow and then Christmas Eve, Christmas, and on and on it was like BAM BAM BAM. I'm still finding scraps of wrapping paper under couch cushions. Maybe this year I shop and wrap in August. Maybe this year we all eat frozen pizza. JK we all know that's never happening but I've gotta figure out how to get a leedle more organized next round. Anyway, I gave myself two weeks to get on top of things after the kids were back in school and that basically ended yesterday. Now the laundry is doneish and we are back in a good flow. Minus the burning need to organize/toss 80% of the kids belongings. And Hero is ten. TEN!

The other night K and I went out to dinner with these losers and I forgot my wallet and the waitress wouldn't serve me any booze (side eyeing you all day, waitress-just-doing-your-job). So, Kirby (in all his extremeness) asked to see the manager about it. Long story short, the manager came and K gave him a nice speech about me having mothered 7 children and how deserving and of age a drink I really was. And do you know what the manager said?? "I CAN TELL YOU'RE DEFINITELY OVER 30"

So..

That basically sums up how I feel about Hero being ten. I am clearly over 30. Every knows it.

Speaking of 30, Kirby and I are busting out a modified Whole 30 (Whole 26) from last week until his birthday. We've never done anything like this and I'm kinda loving it. The first few days I was starving but now I am feeling super full on not a lot and I'm craving healthy things and I'm starting to see quicker results to exercise than I've seen in months. I'm still going strong with hot yoga and it's almost as if my body was holding onto a layer of chub that is melting away because I'm not gulping down sugar and bread all day, revealing the hot yoga bod (hot emphasis on the yoga, not on the bod) I've been working my measly one day a week towards since the fall. Wow. I hope you enjoy that visual. I am definitely, still obviously over 30 but I'll take it!

Today we went to the kids family day at school for Catholic Schools Week. This is the only photographic evidence I've got.


lol.

Happy Monday, babes! I'll (try) and be back soon.

Oh, OH recipes?? I know you've got them. We are doing dairy, so there's that. Just no sugar, no potatoes, no legumes, no booze (I know... I KNOW). Give me all your delicious tips!

  1. We are just finishing up a detox diet and a few saving graces have been apple slices with almond butter, cashew cookie Lara bars and this soup recipe!

  5. Good luck with your whole30! I've been wanting to do something like this, but I'm breastfeeding a 4month-old. Would milk supply drop? Any experiences?

    1. I've got a 2 month old and I'm following a primal diet(a little more lax than the whole30) and I've read that as long as your caloric intake doesn't go below 1800 calories it shouldn't effect your milk. I haven't had any trouble, but I'm also overweight and have never had milk supply issues before.

    2. Hey Vera! That's exactly why I kept dairy. I wanted to make sure I still had enough animal-based fats for my supply. So far it's been great!

  6. I just had my 6th baby and have been reading the Primal Blueprint by Mark Sisson. It's sort of a more lax whole30 with modified (healthy) carb intake (think vegetables), but it doesn't eliminate carbs. Anyway, I've been following a "Primal lifestyle," as they call it, for about a month and I'm finding the pregnancy lbs coming off faster than they ever have before.

  7. WOW!!!
    This is the most wonderful thing i have ever experience and i need to share this great testimony.
    About how i get my ex back after a breakup.
    I never believed it, because i never heard nor learn anything about it before.
    My name is Minerva D. Taylor from UK
    My boyfriend of a 2year just broke up with me and am 28 weeks pregnant. I have cried my self to sleep most of the nights and don’t seem to concentrate during lectures sometimes I stay awake almost all night thinking about him and start to cry all over again. Because of this I end up not having energy for my next day’s classes, my attendance has dropped and am always in uni and on time. Generally he is a very nice guy, he ended it because he said we were arguing a lot and not getting along. He is right we’ve been arguing during the pregnancy a lot. After the break up I kept ringing him and telling him I will change. I am in love with this guy and he is the best guy I have ever been with. I’m still hurt and in disbelief when he said he didn’t have any romantic feelings towards me anymore that hurt me faster than a lethal syringe. He texts me once and then mainly to check up on how am doing with the pregnancy, he is supportive with it but it’s not fair on me, him texting me as I just want to grieve the pain and not have any stress due to the pregnancy. i was really upset and i needed help, so i searched for help online and I came across a website that suggested that Dr Adams can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and so on. So I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and he told me what to do and i did it then he did a spell for me. 28 hours later, my boyfriend came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promise never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. I and my boyfriend are living together happily again.. All thanks to Dr Adams. as it is a place to resolve marriage/relationship issues, do you want to be sure if your spouse is being faithful to you or Do you want your Ex to come back to you Contact.: E-mail: Adamsusmanultimate@gmail.com or call/Whats-app: +2348160153829 save your crumbling home and change of grades its 100% safe. I suggest you contact him. He will not disappoint you.

  8. My life is back!!! After 3 years of broken marriage, my husband left me with three kids. I felt like my life was about to end i almost committed suicide. Thanks to Doctor Ehimen who i met online as i was browsing through the internet, I came across allot of testimonies about him. Some people testified that he brought their Ex lover back, he restores womb, stop divorces, cure cancer and other sickness. I also come across one particular testimony by Sarah who lives in Finland saying how he brought back her Ex husband after 3 years of divorce. After reading all these, I decided to give it a try. I contacted him and explained my problem to him. In just 12 to 16 hours, my husband came back to me pleading and we resolved our issues and we are even happier than before. Doctor Ehimen is really gifted and i will not stop publishing about his good works. If you have any problem, contact him now for he might be the answer to your problems. Email: ( Doctorehimenspelltemple@hotmail.com ) OR call & text +1 (702)-200-0766 for more info.
