Health Food, Exercise, and Beauty!!

I have finally found something to blog about other than my wonderful family. I have been on a health kick these past few months and thanks to my new addictive show "Dr. Oz," I am learning more about health and beauty each day and are eager to try some of these things. So, I thought why not take you on this wonderful journey with me, so you could try them yourselves, or just laugh at me and how crazy I sound! :)

  • For food I am going to try new healthy versions of our family favorites, new low calorie recipes, and favorite health drinks. Since my kids LOVE pancakes ( and when I say love, I mean they could quite possibly eat them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner), I thought I would begin with vegan pancakes!! I will post later the recipe, pictures, and how the taste testers rate this new favorite. Because after all I do not want to post anything that does not have my approval, and most importantly the approval of my kids (including my husband).
  • Next, there are so many beauty items out there, from trying to look younger, moisturizers, and many others, that sometimes I get lost and don't know where to begin. Now, I know I am only 27 and hardly need a anti-aging serum, but there are others that will benefit my younger skin and I am eager to try them.

  • And last but not least, the thing that a lot of you dread. Me being one of them, exercise is quite hard to get motivated to do, seeing how I have three kids, five times the laundry, a house to clean that never is clean, and a homemade meal every night to cook. But, believe it or not getting past the initial get up off my butt and move, I feel more motivated and more energized than ever. Today I actually ran with my mom, which probably has never happened in my whole life, and we have decided to set a goal!!! Yeh!!! At the end of May there is a benefit run in Chico, Ca. and we are going to run a 5K. It might not sound like much to some of you, but it is a good start for us. I am going to post you on how we do each week and reveal our big day when it comes.

So, embark with me on this life changing journey, that I am so eager to share with you, and my family is unfortunately forced to go along with. But, they will thank me later you'll see!! Can't wait to share with you all of our adventures! Beginning with vegan pancakes tomorrow morning!!!
