Life Lately

Happy Tuesday friends! Normally I do a weekend recap or life lately on Monday but since I worked on Saturday, today is my actual Monday. Lol. Today is feeling like a Monday for sure. I am dragging. My goal for the week was to get a workout in before work so I didn't have to spend my lunch break in the exercise room. Well, my alarm went off at 4:30.......I could not make myself get up. As Scarlet once said, tomorrow is another day!! I love being off because I feel like I can accomplish so much. One of those things is getting my workout in at the beginning of the day. After that I can take on the day and I don't feel as stressed. The kids have soccer camp the rest of the week so I will have 2 hours to myself in the evenings. I am so looking forward to those 2 hours!! I was able to meal prep some breakfast egg muffins. It was so easy. I used One egg per muffin and cooked on 350 for 20 minutes. Also I bought this swimsuit last year without trying it on. I loved the floral on it. Well, I get home and put it on and could not breathe... it was so tight. I put it on last week and it fit!! Yay for non scale victories. I am on day 11 of July's carb cycle!! Ya'll if you have been struggling to lose weight and have tried it all I think you should give carb cycling a try!! I LOVE it. It has truly been a God send!

Sunday I took the kids swimming. It is our favorite thing to do in the summers. Max was starting to swim on his own last summer at 3 yrs old. with no swimmies. This year he has totally impressed me. He is doing front flips and back flips in the pool and front flips off the edge. I love that both kids are such strong swimmers. During my teenage years I was a lifeguard each summer and taught swimming lessons. I knew I wanted my kids to be able to swim early and not be afraid of the water. There were so many kids afraid and would scream and cry. I think both of mine were swimming without swimmies by 2. They weren't strong swimmers and you had to be right there with them. But it was a start. They love the water and truly are little fish!!

Yesterday we decided we were going to have a laid back, relaxing day. We had no plans until the evening which was glorious. The kids played with the neighborhood kids and were in and out of the house. Max wanted to play in the sprinkler so I sat it up for him. It was a great excuse for me to get some sun and read my book , too. Monday evening was the groundbreaking at the kid's school for the new gym. It is very exciting for our school and church community. Mere and Max were happy to be a part of it!

One last thing which you may or may not know. It is Amazon prime day.....supposed to be better than Black Friday Deals (say what lol). Lots of awesome things listed. I don't really need anything. But if you have a kindle they even have deals on books. There are a few I have on my wishlist to read.

Have a great week!!
