Good evening everyone. Wow, what a day it has been. Steve has been traveling and I truly hate when he is not home. I miss him, our family feels incomplete when he is away. I am thankful he comes home tonight and will be home for the next week. But, then he is off again. I know he hates being away just as much as we hate having him gone and I know he does all of this for us. He works hard for our family and we love him for that.

I will tell you I wouldn’t be able to survive without my mom. I seriously, would go nuts, okay maybe I am already nut, but I would be even nuttier. Ha!! Sophia and Isabella say I am silly, but that’s the way they like it. They always tell me they wouldn’t want me to be serious. Oh my girls are the best. Back to my mom, I am not sure why she always comes back. Life here can be tough, but there is always a lot of love and kisses.

Since it’s Wednesday it’s time to talk about food for What I Ate Wednesday.

Breakfast 7am

After working out this morning instead of my usual protein shake I had pumpkin protein pancakes with turkey sausage. Lots of protein and it was nice eating with my girls.

Snack 10am

I had a poached egg on an English muffin with a bowl of fruit. Delicious.

Lunch 1pm

I was in the mood for something sweet so I made a Paleo/Gluten Free Chocolate Cake. Oh so good and it really hit the spot. I notice when I give into what I am craving I don’t pick at things I don’t want.

Dinner 4:30pm

I had to run some errands (this was a much needed break from motherhood) so on my way home I picked up sandwiches (chicken, pesto flatbread) and smoothies for us. We had an early dinner.

Snack 7:30pm

Since, we ate dinner early I was hungry again so I McKayla and I shared a bowl of Kashi GoLean.
