The Big Hiatus

So I took a hiatus from blogging for quite some time, but now things are settled and I can finally set aside some time to share my thoughts. 

An update on me --- 
We have moved BACK to Bemidji and I am working at the clinic I was before, very exciting! We also got a puppy, his name is Odin. He is a toy poodle mixed with pomeranian. SUPER ADORABLE AND FLUFFY!

An update on my health journey ---
I recently dropped my trainer, she was a really awesome girl I met on Instagram (if anyone is interested, let me know and I will get you her info).  She had sent me a personalized workout plan PLUS personalized macros. Then every week she wanted updated pictures, let her know the ups and downs on how the week went. She did change workouts/macros when she thought appropriate. I REALLY enjoyed the workouts and how dedicated she was to wanting to help you out/reach your goals.  I wasn't able to continue due to the fact that we were moving so we had to financially spend our money the in other ways.

It is hard for us to get to the gym 5 times a week right now, so I am doing my best to eat clean. My favorite go to lunch right now is spinach/romaine lettuce salads with shredded chicken, strawberries, feta cheese, and greek yogurt blue cheese dressing OR with shredded chicken, tomatoes, feta cheese, and light caesar dressing. For the shredded chicken, I just put four breasts in the crock pot for 4 hours with a little bit of water- seasoned with Mrs. Dash original blend, lemon pepper, pepper, organic all season.  Super easy and delicious!!

I did borrow my sisters 21 day fix DVD- those workouts are definitely badass. They are challenging and fun at the same time. When I did the lower fix, I was sore for DAYS. I would recommend them to anyone who doesn't have a lot of time to and wants an awesome burn! 

 Like I said earlier, I am going to FOR REAL set time aside to keep up the blogging. If theres any ideas out there from anyone, I would LOVE to hear them :)
