B and I have been working our bootys off on his website!

He has SO MUCH going on and his company just keeps growing that he spends a lot of time on the phone and I spend a lot of time emailing and designing little ads.

We're a two man band and as he says....

"Team Work Makes the Dreams Work" 

 



Show Your Strength....

I have been working out for a total of 8 weeks now.

8 solid weeks of kicking my booty back into shape.
Every day I say to myself, maybe I'll take off from working out today.
Every day I end up working out and feeling amazing after.
Best part is I'm down 8 pounds and noticing some results.

I'm not lucky like some and just cut sweets or soda out of their 'diet' and drop a lot of weight.
I only drink diet pop (I know it's not good for me) but I don't drink a lot.
I rarely ever eat sweets.
I eat fairly clean.
I drink 2-3 liters of water a day.
I have a healthy breakfast, lunch and dinner and little snacks in between.
I will say I didn't cut out adult beverages, I need those in my life ;)

I pretty much stopped working out when I was pregnant with Cullen.
After having Cullen nursing helped me lose a lot of weight and then some.
 These days I'm obviously not nursing and my weight caught back up with me.
I sometimes find it funny that I think I can drop the 20 pounds I gained instantly.
It took me a year to put on 20 pounds so I am constantly reminding myself that it's going to take more than a week to lose the 20 pounds.

At this point I'm not even about the number on the scale, I want the inches to shed and I want EVERYTHING toned!
I want to look like I work out and push myself.
I finally got in 3 miles yesterday, without stopping in under 30 minutes.
Huge accomplishment for me.
I just need to keep working towards my goals and challenging myself.
I am almost 30, my metabolism is eventually going to start working against me.

anyway....

This post isn't all about me but more so about the tank I'm wearing...

NEVER GIVE UP

Quite the fabulous saying to think of while working out.
Something I tell myself every day.

My tank came from this Etsy shop...

Show Your Strength

 

At Show Your Strength you will find custom made tanks and shirts with different motivating sayings.
A little bit of info from the shop owner, Trina!

I've cut/sliced/shredded/added lace up grommets to tank tops and then I've done a vintage looking silk screen saying on them. All of the sayings are uplifting/funny/girl power/love yourself type of sayings.
I wear different color camisoles under the shredded ones or lace different colored ribbon down the back of the lace up type. It's fun and it changes things up and makes it so I can wear them with anything. I wear them as every day wear and I wear them to work out in.

Trina is so talented!  I love all her designs.
Here are a couple of my favorite sayings and designs...

You must go check out the shop because there are so many other awesome designs and sayings!
I want one of each!!

Now the awesome part of this post...
I have a tank to GIVEAWAY to one of you!!
It's just a hill
Get over it

The tank is a medium, it is Mossimo brand from Target.

Super soft and long! The back is custom designed, it's just hard to tell in this pic.

New Earth’s Best Veggie Purees...GIVEAWAY

giveaway closed

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

I wanted to share another fun giveaway of Earth's Best goodies for one of you to win!  Earth's Best has new veggie puree pouches!

New Earth’s Best Veggie Purees & the Importance of Vegetables: 

This month, Earth’s Best introduced new Organic Veggie Purees! These tasty purees offer a healthy meal for your baby, rich in Vitamin A, E, C and Zinc. The new Veggie Purees are available in four delicious flavors including Sweet Potato & Beets, Carrots & Broccoli, Pumpkin & Spinach and Squash & Sweet Peas. 

Adding to Earth’s Best current line of pouch products including Fruit & Grain purees and Fruit & Yogurt smoothie pouches for infants and toddlers, these purees are the first all-vegetable offering from Earth’s Best!  Easy to store and even easier to carry, this little pouch offers a big, flavorful punch of healthy nutrients and minerals to help your baby grow.  The new Veggie Purees can be served as a wholesome meals for babies 6 months or older and as a snack for toddlers. Even more exciting, Earth’s Best Organic Veggie Purees come in non-BPA packaging. 

       
Is your little one reluctant to give fruits and veggies a try? Earth’s Best has put together an educational video about starting your baby on these two nutritious essentials: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ALwdEcB-09U.  
Here are a few quick tips! 

 *Parents who eat more fruits and vegetables often have kids who a) are less picky and b) consume more fruits and vegetables.

 *Don't pressure kids to eat.  Studies show that parents who pressure their kids to eat actually get kids with higher levels of pickiness and kids who eat significantly fewer servings of fruits and vegetables.

More tips can be found here on the Earth’s Best website: Plant The Seed For Vegetable Loving

If you want a chance to win a sampler pack of these veggie purees just leave a comment!  For a bonus entry you can tweet me @Annie0720 and @EarthsBest about the giveaway - leave separate comments.  Giveaway ends in a week and winner will be contacted by me.
