New mom, New Shakeology recipe

Well....one thing I am definitely learning as a new mom is that even a perfectly laid plan and schedule don't always get executed as such. So the dinner plan yesterday was lettuce wraps inspired by P.F. Changs...well you see...the baby needed to eat around 5:30 PM and then my husband came home from the gym and he was pretty much hungry right away and then all of a sudden it was 6:15 PM soooo long story short, we went out to dinner. Our first outing as a family of 3! Thank goodness she had just eaten! It was a success! She slept through the whole dinner which was amazing but also nice to know we can handle leaving the house for dinner with her...for now that is! So we are going to try again with that recipe tomorrow because tonight we are having my mother in law's spaghetti!


In other news, I tried a new Shakeology recipe today and I am in love! I honestly didn't think I could like anything more than PB2 and banana with chocolate shakeology but this is a close 2nd or maybe even a tie! I used a capful of this caramel extract, about 4 oz of coffee, a few oz of water and almond milk and ta-da! I like to put it up there with Starbucks Caramel Mocha without all the garbage sugar, calories and fat! 

Also, my Fit to be Fit fan page is back up and running on Facebook after a few weeks sabbatical with having a baby! I am trying hard to get to 400 likes and do my next giveaway! Will you help me? All you have to do is share my page or a post from the page and you will be entered to win some Beachbody Swag and shakeology samples! THANKS! Have a great HUMP Day everyone!

2.5 weeks postpardum and ready to workout

 
 Hi there Friends! I am now 18 days postpartum and am feeling wonderful! I am anxious and excited to start working out again and get this body back to pre baby shape! I know, I know I need to take my time and not rush things says EVERYONE with an opinion! But I feel good so I figure it doesn't hurt to start somewhere right? 
The baby was born May 1st, might I mention she was a week late, was 8lbs 2 oz and this is now : )

So we all know that getting in shape starts with getting our mind right FIRST, then assessing our DIET since 80% of getting fit and in shape is our FOOD intake and THIRD is the 20% portion which is exercise. I have added 3 new recipes to the Clean Eating Recipes page. Check out the husband approved dinner! That is what we had tonight and it was soooo good. I am getting in trouble with Pinterest. Well not trouble exactly but am finding great recipes and snacks to make while I am nursing. I will be sure to keep updating them as we try them. Tomorrow's dinner will be Lettuce wraps inspired by P.F. Changs so I will let you all know how it goes. Thanks for your patience with my lack of blogging during the pregnancy and moving from CO back to FL etc. I am officially back on the wagon! Tough Mudder Central Florida, Here I COME!
