Second week down ...

Weekly Check-In:
Second week in the books! I felt like I wasn't losing much the last two weeks and when I did my official weigh-in I realized I was down 5.2 pounds from my initial weigh-in!  I'll take that!
Things I Loved This Week - 
Motivate doTERRA - It's been a busy week.  Between work, errands, home chores and after-camp activities for my son - we have been going like crazy.  I ordered a couple doTERRA oils from my sister and I really love this one.  It's a nice pick-me-up for when I'm starting to feel tired and just want to put my feet up.  Check out her doTERRA page here.
Walk Away the Pounds - I have been exercising the last few weeks and it's been harder than I realized.  I guess when you don't work out for months on end you get out of shape. ;)   I pulled out my old trusty Walk Away the Pounds DVDs.  These have been great as they are low impact.  A great start to getting back into the swing of things.
Week Successes - 
Exercising! - I have been exercising numerous days of the week on top of my walks at work. 
Tracking.  I tracked all meals - except one.  I had a date night Saturday night and let myself be track free.  However, I call it success still since I was on track and actually tracked my food the rest of the week!
Trying New Recipes.  Sometimes it's easy to stick with the old standbys.  I was brave and tried a few new recipes this week and they were delish!
Recipes to Share - 
Blueberry Cake Donuts - I got a new donut pan last week and couldn't wait to try one of Drizzle Me Skinny's donut recipes.  This recipe was easy and pretty good.  I mean it's no fried glazed donut, but definitely a great healthy option.
Sausage and Tortellini Tomato Soup - This was a recipe I made for my husband and I to take to work for lunches.  Fairly simple recipe and so good.  Definitely try this!
Bubble Up Pizza - My family loves pizza!  Pizza=Life!  This is a great recipe that kids will love and the leftovers are just as yummy!
In case you missed why I decided to get back on track, check it out here. 
For last week's recap, go here!   Week three, let's do this!

Might need a mom intervention

Everyone has an addiction.  For some people it's as simple as caffiene (I definitely have that addiction too) and for others it's something totally off the wall different.  My biggest addiction - party planning.  Yes, I just said party planning. How can that be an addiction you might ask?  I can't explain it in specifics, but I can tell you I have it.  I can tell you that I love hosting get-togethers. I love planning details. I love crafting and making decorations, or favors, or whatever it may be that I can whip up with my own two hands. Case in point - my son's third birthday party.  Kid's have parties - true.  Moms plan their birthday parties - true.  I probably started planning my son's birthday a good five months out.  It's not like I need that much time, I just can't wait to start planning!  I figure out a theme he wants (or would like) and then I just take off with it.  "What kind of food should we serve?"  "What sh...

Final Countdown to Halloween

We are less than a week away from HALLOWEEN!  Do you have your costumes ready and your pumpkins picked out?  The countdown is on for the big trick-or-treat night. Fall Health Focus : Who doesn't love Halloween candy?  Just be mindful of how much you nibble on as the calories in candy can add up quickly.  Halloween does only come once a year so definitely have a few treats. However, if you are watching calories check out this guide to help you figure out your calorie intake. Fall Family Fun : There are so many fun things you can do this week with the family.  Have a Halloween movie night with the family.  Make a popcorn bar with popcorn and different kinds of candy for the movie.  Another great activity this week is carving pumpkins.  Get those pumpkins looking extra spooky and don't forget to roast your pumpkin seeds for a yummy treat.     Fall for Foodies :  This weekend my son and I made monster cookies.  They are...
