Sundays at Home

Happy Sunday, all! This Memorial Day weekend has been very eventful. My little sis came up to visit me and also to take engagement pictures with her fiance. I helped her pick out outfits and accessories for the pictures and helped with her makeup. I almost cried! Such a crazy time yet I couldn't be happier for her and her soon-to-be hubby! We've spent the weekend watching movies, taking naps, eating good food and yummy desserts. Last night we doubled to Tucano's, a Brazilian grill (to die for) and Aspen Leaf/Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory - it was delicious! Tonight, Paige made homemade Alfredo sauce and I made oatmeal creme pies. Both turned out perfectly!

I used a tub of cream cheese frosting - sorry! But there are TONS of other recipes out there for the marshmallow creme filling if you have the desire to make that too. I just already had the frosting so I skipped that step but next time I will have to try it out. Either way, it was delicious! I also noticed that my cookies weren't the same color as the cookies in other recipes. Make sure to pack your brown sugar for extra color and flavor. Also, cookies may appear doughy after only 7-8 mins but they will set up after cooling and keep soft for the duration of the next few days so don't panic if they look too soft after coming out of the oven. Enjoy!

Stop Existing and Start Living!!!

 

 

I had this strange epiphany today while reading the quote "Stop Existing and Start Living". I set a goal to lose weight this year and get my dream body and here it is, late May....and no changes yet. I have simply been existing in my body instead of taking control and living a healthy lifestyle. I am active but not the way I need to be to where I want to be. I have a busy schedule so when I talk myself out of going to the gym, (hopefully won't happen again for a while) one of my favorite at-home fixes is the Nike Training Club App. It is AMAZING. If you don't already have it, download it NOW!

A quick summary: you create a custom profile for yourself by telling the program what level you are at - 1. Beginner 4-5 workouts a month 2. Intermediate 2-3 workouts a week 3. Advanced: 3-5+ workouts a week, how many workouts you complete earns new workouts by celebrity athletes. It gives you a short workout that you can choose, shows you a short clip of each move, times each action so you don't have to worry about a stopwatch and most importantly, it kicks your butt every time! If you are interested, take a minute to look it up in the app store and find out more details and get started today!

                  

10 Things to Do this Summer!

 

In some parts of Idaho, it doesn't get warm until June or July and by warm I mean nighttime temperatures above freezing! The time I've spent living in Boise has been amazing and has slightly higher temperatures than other locations I have lived. I set a goal for myself to try and complete this list of 10 things to do this Summer. It's easy to get caught up in laziness and just want to kick back and let Summer slip away. Since my finals finished last week, it's Summer-prep for me right now and all other anxious lovers of the sun! I want to enjoy every moment and have things to look back on and remember which delicious recipes I tried and how hard I laughed with friends on our camping trip!
