It is CRAZY the market of health and fitness that targets brides to be ... I've seen titles like "shredding for the wedding" - or "getting fit for the dress" - or people even talking about getting in the "best shape of their life" for their wedding... or buff arms for their wedding .. .etc - 

so where do I stand on it all? and what am I working on as I prep for the big day?

Thought it was time to share!

this past week since most other weeks has been a busy one! But all good things!

The whirlwind of the last two weeks continues but we are loving every minute! How is it JUNE already??? The past week has been full of adventures and it's time for a blog update!

It has been a crazy (AWESOME) past week so I thought it would be fun to do a recap post!

We're getting married!

In our society I swear everyone is on a diet, in the pursuit of balance, trying out a new lifestyle such as whole 30, paleo, keto, sugar free - or something else! I do solemnly believe you have to find what is right for you - and it may take some "dating around" to find a lifestyle that works for you. and it has to be something that you can LIVE with for life. SURE you may have to clean up your eating for a bit and have some discipline...but long term...deprivation only leads to yo-yo dieting - and those ups and downs have ONE thing in common ... emotional relationship with food.

I have FINALLY been making an effort lately to actually MAKE some of the millions of recipes I have saved on Pinterest...are you too guilty of saving all these awesome looking things...and then never making them? ha! I'm totally Guilty. As. Charged. 

I created these last week for a work brunch and being they are such a quick, easy and family friendly meal and a non meal plan wrecking recipe - I needed to share!

I'm so honored to be featured over on Wendy's blog Moore Ways to Wellness this week and I'm sharing the recipe there!

I'll link to her site below but first a bit of a sneak preview...

lots of pics, links, food, coffee and puppy parent life!

My MK purse was MEESSSYYY so I did a purse clean out - and I know now that I truly AM the snack lady! The nurse/on the go life has me all over the place in my schedule and snack bars have become a go to when hanger strikes and I can't any other "real" food. 

What I found in my purse:

dark chocolate pretzel bar thins
gum
Shakeology Cafe Latte 
Rx Bar (chocolate sea salt)
Quest Hero (caramel pecan)
Nature Valley bars (chocolate pretzel and cashew sweet and salty)
Oh Yeah ONE bar (blueberry cobbler)
dog treats (yeah...it's true)
mini snickers

Thought it might be fun to do a snack bar review!
