Halloween 2019

November 1, 2019 Leave a Comment

Halloween has always been a fun holiday, through all of the different ages and stages of life – but I have to say that having kids makes it a million times more exciting! I love seeing how excited my girls are to pick out their costumes and how trick or treating brings them so much joy.

So, like most of the mamas in Charlotte, I was super disappointed to hear that Halloween night was going to be a washout with dangerous storms! I was hoping for the best but tried to come up with a backup plan just in case we weren’t able to actually trick or treat. A lot of neighborhoods in the area got on board with moving Halloween to Friday (which also sparked lots of rage between neighbors online…it was entertaining to say the least!), but ours is so large that it was an impossible feat.

Since it looked like we were going to have bad storms all night, I decided to take the girls to our local IKEA since they had a trick or treat event during the day. To be honest, it was just okay, but it made the girls happy and I got to browse IKEA for a bit! We also considered taking them to an indoor event that night if the rain didn’t stop, but by 7, the storms had passed and we were able to get out in the neighborhood to trick or treat. Pro tip: take a beer or tumbler of wine for the walk – made Halloween fun for the adults too! 🙂

After getting way too much candy, we decided to head home and have dinner. I pulled together a simple themed meal with mummy hot dogs, jack o’ lantern quesadillas and a festive dessert tray (that we probably didn’t need with all the candy they got! You can check out some of my Halloween snack ideas from years past here.

Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — I felt very clear-minded and awake this AM 🥳 Truly, I was nervous because today was a very low-cal day and I wasn’t sure how I’d feel 😅 I did grab a plain iced espresso because my energy was depleting super quickly and that def helped 👌🏼 After lunch, though, I started to hate depriving myself of real food and disliked that I couldn’t push myself in my workouts like I usually do 😒 After dealing with three kids who clearly woke up on the wrong side of the bed 😆, slicing my hand open with a knife and being cranky and irritable because I’ve been hangry for 3 days, I caved. And sorry, not sorry ✌🏼 I just wanted a dang salad and some protein so I can lift heavy things 💪🏼 Moral of the story, listen to your body and what it needs. And maybe try a 1-2 day cleanse/fast because that’s about all mine could handle 🤪

@prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than ye @prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than yesterday 👌🏼 Time went by faster and I didn’t have any nausea from being hungry…I looked forward to and savored all of today’s meals — the black bean soup for dinner was actually really good (esp with a little cumin + paprika!) 🙌🏼 I did @pure_barre this AM and then a @onepeloton walk this afternoon…keeping it light because of how little I’m consuming this week 😅 Not gonna lie, nervous for day 3 because it’s the lightest day of food and I’m already pretty hangry in general 🤣 Interestingly, I’ve felt pretty amazing today other than just craving a real meal 👌🏼 Btw, was so hungry for dinner that I forgot to share it in the reel 🤦🏼‍♀️

@prolonfmd Day One | The struggle is real 😅 I’ve done cleanses in the past so I’m no stranger to this…but coming off a few weeks of holiday drinks and some indulgences, today was no easy feat 🤣 My energy definitely ebbed and flowed throughout the day, and felt weak and nauseated every now and then from lack of calories and protein 🙈 It was the longest day ever, but I cleaned, vacuumed, mopped and then did a @onepeloton walk & yoga class and still had time left over (side note, why doesn’t every day feel this long?! 😆). Actually feeling good this evening after having a sparkling water ‘mocktail’, energized and clear-minded 👌🏼

2022 — what a year ✨ It challenged me in so ma 2022 — what a year ✨ It challenged me in so many ways, but I also thrived in many ways. Continuing to grow a business with a husband, three kids, a dog and two cats is not a simple feat but here we are 😏 We adventured a LOT this year - from Girl Scout adventures to family vacations to HHI, the mountains, OBX and more, we had plenty of fun and made lots of memories 😘 The best part of this year was just really allowing myself to live in the moment and not allow stress to overtake me as I’ve allowed it in the past 😅 I also rediscovered my love of running thanks to my @onepeloton Tread and hit big goals at @purebarre_highlandcreek 💪🏼 Here’s to living more in the present, accomplishing bigger goals and dreams and having an amazing 2023 🥂
