I started my cold brew for my iced coffee mix this morning!
{this is an entire gallon of coffee mixture done up according to the iced coffee instructions in this post.}
I sort of had a few pounds creep back on in all of the hustle and bustle of the end of the school year, plus a few things healthwise that have forced me to change my diet and such. So how else to combat it, but start a much stronger exercise schedule! I'm alternating Ripped in 30 {for interval training}and Couch to 5K {I'm really loving the iphone app that allows me to add my playlist, then gives me prompts to walk/run. I used to run a 5k about 2-3 times per week, and feel like it's something I'd really like to get back to! ^_^
And on the foodie front, mommy cut out snack foods entirely. Yes. That means no chips or crackers in the house. I made the exception to popcorn, almonds {for those of us without the peanut allergy - honestly, almonds and coconuts are the only nuts that the little guy technically doesn't react to, even though we generally keep him away from him.}, and tons of fruits. I thought it might increase our food bill, but, ahhhh... I was actually pleasantly surprised that it just means I'm throwing away less dinner food. I was practically pulling out my hair when the boys would ask for snacks an hour before dinner - in tears mind you - because they were "so hungry" - then when dinner was served, you guessed it! Two bites and "I'm full!" So mommy put the proverbial foot down, and it's actually been really good. I don't have any arguments over food as a bonus.
And yay for a giveaway!! Virginia is giving away one of my rings on her blog today! Stop by and say hi to be entered in the fun! I wore the "elegant khaki" one on Sunday - I always love the way I feel when I wear one of these. I usually get lots of compliments, too! ^_^
