Dances With Dirt Devils Lake Wisconsin Race

After watching Jacob complete his first ultra marathon trail race, I instantly wanted to run one too!! I decided to train and run in my first 1/2 marathon trail race, which just so happened to be my first half marathon. We loaded up  the kids and made it a vacation! We hit the road for Wisconsin Dells! Dances with Dirt, truly puts on a fun and exciting race! Not to mention Devils Lake is absolutely beautiful! As I was about 2 miles out I was ready to be finished...more than ready! I can remember making the turn out of the woods and seeing my children. I actually even got tears in my eyes because I was so happy to see them. There they were cheering me on to the finish! they even ran with me across the finish line. It was such a rewarding experience. I felt so much pride in completing that 1/2. It definitely set me up for many more to come!!!

This is link of the original recipe.... but here I will explain what I did

• 3/4 lb ground turkey breast ( I used Deer meat)
• 1 1/2 Tbsp cumin
• 1 tsp kosher salt ( I did not use salt as we are lowering our sodium intake)
• 1 can (28oz) Classico Crushed Tomatoes ( I just used canned tomatoes from Sam's)
• 1 can (15.25oz) black beans, rinsed and drained( I didn't have any beans ...oppps)
• 1 can (15.25oz) sweet corn, drained
• 3 cup Jasmine Rice (cooked)( I used wheat rice...advocare baby)
• 8 fresh Sweet Red peppers( I used GREEN Bell Peppers)
• 1 cup reduced fat Colby Jack cheese( Didn't have Colby but I used reduce fat)
• 2 green onions, sliced ( didn't have onions)

WHAT I ADDED that is not in this is KALE!!!! I used about 3 cups of kale! 

 

Here is the meat, corn, tomatoes and KALE mixture.

It's Thursday Yall

Hey !!!! This morning is our late morning my hubby doesn't have PT so we sleep a little later, got up at 0615 this AM it was nice to get that extra sleep in but then again I realize JUST how MUCH I can get done getting up earlier! This morning I had a little bit of a headache so I tried one of those juices to help headaches....I didnt have cucumbers so it was not as much juice I am sure as it would have been if I had them, but oh well!!! So here is my tweerked version

1 cupe of pineapple
1-2 handfuls of kale
1/2 a lemon
2 stalks of celery

 

ITs GREEN yall ! It was actually really good too and for whatever reason my headache is gone!!! 

 

WaCkY Wednesday!

Seriously, a wacky Wednesday! Woke up at 0445 and thought it was going to be a great day ;) Fixed our morning juice (which was AMAZING) Highly highly recommend this juice ! Today was a morning energizer/ fat burner 

2 grapefruits ( I used pink) 

2 oranges 

1/2 lime 

1 inch of ginger 

Sorry I forgot to take a pic and I had already drank most of it. This did not make my average amount it was a little less, but I didn't want to add to much more to it! Definitely a good acidic boost! 

So as I was saying before I got side tracked with my juice! I "thought" it was going to be a good morning, had my drink fixed my coffee and started my yoga....then.... Goose heard something, jumped over my tray with my coffee and spilled it all over my PLANNER!!! AKA my LIFE!!!! I hurried grabbed it yelled at him and WOKE Harry up!!! lol So there went yoga, there went my me time ! BUT its all good, because I got some one on one time with Harry, apologized to Goose and went about my morning, Life is too short to let ONE instance change your whole day :) 

Harry took an early nap today. I guess it was that 5:30 wake up call 

I guess Goose felt bad! lol I LOVE these babies !!! 

and I must post my Beautiful oh so posh little lady this morning!!! She picked out her outfit, yeah the boot socks don't match perfectly but I let her go on and wear them :) I couldn't tell that pretty girl NO!!! 

Gosh  I LOVE my kiddos! What on earth did I ever do before my hubby and my kids!!! :)

Happy Monday World!!!

It's the start of a new week! Yay! Time to get to juicing. This morning was much easier to get up out of bed. Its the juice man! (No really though, I believe it is a mixture of healthy eating, juicing and moderate workouts.) Geez I even beat the hubs out. I did a detox juice because we had a mini frosty last night after dinner! yeah yeah yeah..... you got to reward yourself peeps! Otherwise you will break and go bonkers! lol Been there done that and I DON'T want to blog about that. Today we had ...

1 1/2 medium cucumbers

2 pieces of celery 

1 whole lemon

1 inch piece of ginger

This morning MC was super excited to tear off a Disney chain!

 

I also got a little crafty today :) I looked everywhere for a jessie costume that was cute and didn't break the bank. I couldn't find one, so I made one! For only 12.00 I got fabric, ric rac, buttons and fusable wear to attach them with no sewing for top, and the skirt I did have to sew a little. I also ordered her a royal blue tutu and I am looking forward to how that all pulls together. Here it is though without the tutu

 cant wait to put it on her :)
