NYR UPDATE

Well, so far so good with my New Years Resolutions! I didn't want to say it...for fear I would not make it, I am trying on a little bit of Vegan and I think I likey:) It has only been 17 days and so far I am doing good, no Cheese withdraws! I joke and tell Scott to order a Marco's Pizza but, no real cravings/cavings yet. Originally a month was my goal to see if I felt good, and all that Jazz and I have to say I am a fan! Although, I am contemplating taking a full on plunge into a Vegan lifestyle there will always be an exception for me to indulge in a Pizza or just Cheese:) which I guess would not really be a Plunge more like a Slippery Slope!  it is just a test to see what all you Vegans out there are talking about:) So far I have noticed my muffin top is now a slimmer (mini muffin) I do have more energy but, not a ton. My Skin was a little teenage nightmare at first but, now has a little glow going on:)  So all in all I am in... I am even cooking more than I have in past,which I think makes Scott happy that he does not have to come home from work and cook!  Reso #1 doing great!

Yes, I am one of those who likes to take pictures of her food and post to Instagram! Motivation through food:) and who said Vegan Cuisine had to be a bunch of Veggies on a plate? Not Pinterest, where i have found many yummy Vegan friendly RECIPES!  Scott, usually juices twice a week, I start my day off with a green Smoothie:) We are not Big at all on Processed foods but, will have Tortilla Chips around for dipping Hummus! Oh and I have been doing some working out too...Yay for our little finished basement:) after Scott, gets home I head down and have a whole hour dedicated to me:) #NEWYEARNEWME

 

More Family Time! Well, this one is easy to do but, due to the weather we have to use our Creativity:) Dinner time is my Favorite time! TV. off Cell phone away (after, I take a picture of dinner of course:) Classical Music on and Candle lit! No Joke... its just really nice, and creating a calm environment for dinner so that Beau can focus on his food without distractions:) After dinner he gets to blow out the candle... he starts blowing before and during dinner though:) I wanted a way that he could determine when dinner time was over and so far this is the trick! We took Beau on his first sledding trip and he LOVED it! We also picked up my Niece Caitlin  for some fun too:) and of course Miss Z.Z. B. got her snow fix in!

 

Spending more time with the little ones and Uncle Bill:)  Beau calls him Bill bill, I just love it:) He loves him soooo much. i LOVE a good Snow... we did live in The Mountains for 2 years and although I miss it everyday, this Winter can now be filed under #longestwinterever! UGH. Our pipes have now froze in the Kitchen 3 separate times. I am ready for SPRING so that we can get out of our Cozy little Nest.  

 

My Job search is still on. With the Weather being Sucky basically have been major slacker but, am ready to get back out there, it is time. My first job after being pregnant and having Beau was a total bust and I am ready. Also due to Cabin Fever I have started painting little projects :)

Sneak Peek of our room it finally has a groove going and I think I am in LOVE:)
So far so good keeping it real with my New Years Resolutions! Will i update again? probably not but, now that they are out there other posts will most likely give the clues that I am staying true to myself:) Or at least I hope so. xoxo-Mary
