wedding day!

Today started quick and early! I woke up bright and early and headed to teach Body Pump then to GPP for this workout! I was driiiiiiiiping sweat! That's when you know you got a good workout in! I love the challenge it gave me, my shoulders were already a little sore and now I'm not sure how I am supposed to pick up my children. Needless to say, motherhood called... I came home to two sleeping babies, Brent had to go run a errand for work, so I made a post-recovery shake! I love love shakes and smoothie bowls especially in the summer! It fills those ice cream/milkshake cravings that hit full force with the heat.

In the mix

1.5 Cup of almond milk unsweetened vanilla

handful of frozen blueberries

4 frozen strawberries

1 scoop vanilla elite protein

1 handful of spinach

4-5 ice cubes

Xanthan gum (for thickening)

This baby was THIIIICK! Just the way I like it.. uh huh uh huh! I quickly drank my shake, jumped in the shower, got the babes bathed and ready all before 9am. That is some sort of record... I'm talkin' hair done, makeup, babies hair etc.. phew. I'm tired just reviewing my morning! 

We dropped off the babies with grandma and headed to the wedding ceremony for Brents brother. Everything went smoothly and Janey was absolutely beautiful (as always). 

Just Muuuurried! 

Hi. meet the family. 

The luncheon was shortly after in which I kind of just walked in and out of due to the invite from my sister in-law to get a pedicure, Since it was a special occasion and we leave for Hawaii in 2 days!! I was in desperate need for one. I jumped at the chance! Missing lunch I quickly snacked on a apple and one of these

Love the taste and it held me over (barely) till I could get some actual food in my belly.. but I enjoyed the pedicure fully...

mmmmm.. feet. 

The lady massaged my calfs and I think I would of paid her double to keep doing it for 5 more minutes. It was heavenly. 

I came home and was craving a chicken salad, but I didn't have any grilled chicken in my fridge and need something quick cause I needed time to blog, (duh!) clean up and get the babies ready again... (in dress & suit) So I opted for a egg scramble!

Green Beans

4 egg whites

some onion

tomato 

broccoli 

Not so pretty, I know but it had veggies, protein, & healthy fats (all of which I include in each of my meals everyday). Off to the reception! For dinner? Most likely sorbet, candy and wedding cake! .. I'll let you know ;) 

Hope your having a great day so far!

Q. Whats your go to snack to keep you from starving while on the go?

Q. Do you eat something at every meal? Even if it isn't part of your actual meal?

I always snack while things are cooking, right now my favorite is piece of a frozen banana with a bit of almond  butter. 

Wedding and Aloha!

Hey guys! Hope you are having a great day! Its been a little cloudy and windy here but I was able to tackle my to do list! (That is a mile long) This week is a little crazy, but there is a happy ending!

Tomorrow Brent's youngest brother gets married!                                                                                                 The sister's are in charge of the candy bar at the wedding so we traveled around salt lake picking up bulk candy anywhere we could! We got gummy bears, taffy, kisses, and jelly beans! Not to mention, ribbon, bags etc. We got everything and tonight we are decorating the reception hall! Busy times. Don't worry Janey, we totally planned on procrastinating...
The actual happy ending I was talking about is that we are going to HAWAII on Saturday!!  okay.. the wedding is a big deal to.. we are going to have the honeymooners with us as well :) lucky them.
Its our family vacation with Brent's side, I am SOOO excited! We will be visiting the Island of Kauai. Does anyone have any recommendations for must-do's? Places to eat? etc? So far we have...

This will be our second trip to Hawaii, I love the islands and the people there. If you have been there before, what did you do?                                                                                                                                             We are going to make the best of this trip!                                                                                                     Dinner came together pretty quick tonight- Chicken and Veggie bowl.      

                                                                         The Bowl

In the mix: Green beans, Romain lettuce, Spinach, Cucumber, onion, tomato and 2 strawberries. I love the fresh crisp of veggies in my salad. Drizzled with TJ's Raspberry vinaigrette dressing this salad was perfect for tonight!                                                                                                                                                         Off to DECORATE!!!
