Epic Failures

Over the last few weeks I have experience what one might refer to as several epic failures!  I know that is hard to believe given the extreme success we had with my husband cutting our daughter's hair

We've been a little off with our eating recently and while I'd like to play it off as if this is the only poor food choice I've made in the last few weeks, I would be lying!

Hot fudge sundae with nuts from Sonic....not pictured mozzarella sticks with ranch!
 
 
 
I attempted to make an easy 3 ingredient clean dessert.  It has honey, all natural peanut butter, and oats.  I even added a little cocoa powder to give it a little more flavor. It was disgusting!  Way too much honey! 
 
 
 
I did more sitting on my butt, than I did working it out!
 
 
 
Despite my failures I had a lot of great successes!
 
We have done great with our cash only system!  In an effort to make an extra push to save money for our trip to New York at the end of the month, I decided we needed to go back to the basics and use the envelope system.  In general we are great with budgeting our money, but I was amazed at how much harder it has been to spend money when you can physically see how much you have left.  As you can see, my envelopes aren't fancy but they are functional!
 
 
 
 
There were days that I wasn't feeling well and still managed to get to the gym.
 

  
 
I made several amazing recipes!  Each one turned out GREAT!
 
I found this recipe for vanilla protein pancakes and added non-fat plain Greek yogurt, frozen raspberries, and a dash of Stevia.  So good!
 
 
 
This recipe came from Pintrest!  Pintrest has been my best friend lately when it comes to finding new clean recipes.  This Cookie Dough Baked Oatmeal dessert proved to be AMAZING!
 
 
 
And yet another Pintrest success was the recipe I found for crepes!  This was by far my favorite.  I absolutely love crepes; they remind me of being back in Europe!  I used the recipe posted on this website, but I added  some Justin's All Natural Chocolate Hazelnut Butter, non-fat plain Greek yogurt, and strawberries.  WOW! 

 
 
And my final success was spending yesterday at Kyle Field watching Johnny Football and the Fightin' Texas Aggies BTHO Rice!  Whooooop!!

  1. Read an interesting tweet by Rice player Nick Elder who Johnny supposedly trashed talked. The player tweeted in response to all the hoopla over Johnny's "unsportsmanlike" conduct: " I was the one who johnny was talking too. He said "what's up nick, nice hit." True story..." Of course the press doesn't want to believe that because they want to make it a big "bad guy" story to taint Manziel. If you get on Elder's profile you can read all the conversations that followed, including one in which somebody ragged him about going to Rice and mixing up "to" and "too." Anyway, I applaud him for stepping up and being honest, showing that they were all just TALKING to each other, not trash talking. But then there wouldn't be a little scandalous story, now would there? Stupid media.

  2. Yeah I'm pretty tired of the media! Always such a one-sided point of view.
