The Ramblings Of An Epic Failure!

Oops! So after announcing to the world that I was coming back strong on the blog during my pregnancy, what happens? I epically fail. I have been so worn out from working and trying to grow this lil' human that all I want to do is sleep. So really I do not feel guilty about it. I do feel guilty for not being able to workout, eat as healthy as I would like, keeping up my Beachbody business or keeping up with my daily life. Yet, over these past few months I have realized something.

During my transformation, I found a love for eating healthy and working out. They were important to me. I did not make excuses, I made sure I made time for them. Now, I feel like I took them for granted. Though they were important, I didn't realize how important they were to me until I stopped doing them. I realized that I let so many little distractions come in between me and my dreams (of course this little guy is the best distraction).  It was then that I realized even more just how important my Beachbody business is to me. I want to be real with you for just a moment, I was feeling incompetent in the business and was letting my fears overtake my vision that I had when I first signed up as a coach. I've never been the person to let something stop me from getting things that are important to me. So why let this?   I want to be able to provide for my new little family, I want to be able to be healthier, and grow in this amazing business. However (most importantly), I want to help others see how amazing this opportunity is and how it can truly change their lives. I have occasionally talked to some people about the products, but I felt guilty knowing that I was not being a product of what I had spent  months talking about.  It's then that became determined to change that.

Most moms-to-be are thinking about how to decorate the nursery, packing hospital bags and etc; yet, I'm over here thinking about how to get things back on track for goals that I want to accomplish. My main goal is to be the best wife and mother I can be, but it is also to officially get my Beachbody business off. Who wouldn't want to work from home, get in shape and be with their little one all day. This girl right here does and I am going to set goals to make that possible. These past few months have taught me what I see as important in my life.  To be honest just thinking with everyone jus thinking about it scares me, but this picture says it all!

This post is jumping from so many topics, so I am sorry about being so random. This baby has taken so many of my  brain cells (pregnancy brain), lately that I can't even keep up with myself. So, sorry (but not sorry) for today's ramblings everyone. I wanted to make myself accountable to my goals and dreams. What better place to do that, than the here!

I would love to know what you all do to get back into action after baby??

Where have I been??

Oh wow 2014 definitely has been a journey. The last time I wrote on here was New Year's Day. Little did I know that one of the biggest surprises of my life was about to happen! I had been feeling so tired and sickly. I was sure that I was coming down with something. A few weeks later I was still feeling bad, so I went to the doctor. That is when I found out that hubby and I were expecting our first child!

I am currently at 15 weeks!! :D We are beyond excited! I had took a hiatus from working out for a little while since I always felt worse afterwards. I was barely making through the workouts. But now since I'm starting the second trimester and feeling better, I want to start my workouts up again! Especially since it will be benefiting the baby and me!!

School has also been taking over my life. Between sleeping all day and working it leaves very little time for school work. Hubs and I went to VA for a week long "intensive" this past month. Boy, let me they do not call it an "intensive" for nothing. My brain felt very numb by the end of the week. The last day of class we were able to leave early from class, so I went back to the hotel and took two naps and slept all the way into Saturday morning. Glad that is over!

After my classes start to ease down a little and my life slowly gets back in order, I want to fire this little blog back up!! I have been eye-ing some new Beachbody products that have came out since finding out I was pregnant! So excited to get them and share about them!
 

Clean (Eating) Sloppy Joe's

I was so excited when I found this recipe on fellow Dream Teamer Deidra Penrose's blog! I love sloppy joes but I knew that they were unhealthy to eat. I was so excited to find this recipe that I planned the meal for the following week (yesterday). Luckily, this is one of the few recipes that have been hubby approved. I also made Chalean Extreme Fries where you can find here! 

Also I just want to quickly mention if  you love your pop, you should try this better alternative; sparkling water!! Since I have started drinking this, I have not craved pop. Matter of fact, I have literally stopped drinking pop. It was a little bit of a battle, but I crave my sparkling water more than pop now!

Anyway here is the yummy sloppy joe recipe:

Ingredients:
* 1-1/2 Pounds Lean Ground Turkey
* 1 (15 oz.) can tomato sauce, no sugar added
* 1/2 cup clean ketchup ( I could only find Kroger's brand)
* 1 TSP garlic powder
* 1 small onion chopped
* 1 medium green bell pepper chopped
* 1 medium red bell pepper chopped

Directions
 Put the ground turkey into the crockpot along with the tomato sauce, ketchip, garlic powder. Mix in the onion and peppers. Stir together. Turn the crock pot on and cook it for 8 hours.

*** Serve on a 100% whole wheat bun!! ( I found mine at kroger)!! ****
Hope you enjoy!
