☀️Happy Friday!!

☀️ Good Morning lovelies!! Happy Friday!


I hope everyone is having a superb week so far! It's been on the chilly side, but thankfully, beautiful! I've been working hard, and it helps to have my furbaby at my side! 💕 He is super needy, but adorable! 


It's been a while since I've posted! Life of course gets in the way sometimes 🙃However, there are incredible things in the works!! 😍
Here is a short recap of the last 2 weeks! 

My Milma (Mother-in-law/Momma) came out to spend some quality time all last week with me! She and I both LOVE crafting and hanging out together, and we had such a blast!! The week went by way too quickly!

We went to the gym and spent almost TWO HOURS there!! 😂 I'm not kidding when I say, you can spend all day there! There is so much to do!! 




I'm not going to lie, we went out a few different places to eat - however, we did a really good job limiting it to ONE meal a day and splitting meals! Otherwise, we just ate at home!
A MUST for Knoxville is going to The French Market Creperie! We split a crepe - nutella and bananas. (Normally, I would have eaten a whole one by myself, but yay for control 😂)!



We had some interesting weather changes...snow to Spring in one day!



One of our other "cheat" meals was spent at Yassin's Falafel House! They just opened a second location near where I live, and I've been desperately wanting to go. If you haven't gone yet, GO!!! 
It was absolutely amazing!!




We've been having the most gorgeous sunrises! ☀️


My second 6 Day Eat Clean Challenge began on the 15th! I lost 7.2 lbs during my first challenge, and 3 lbs this past challenge! Since joining Herbalife, I have lost 10 lbs. That is 10 lbs down in less than a month! I'll take it! I've been working out and doing a lot of strength training, so my body is also building muscle. I won't see the scale dip down extremely fast, but with being consistent in eating healthy (Yay, Herbalife!) and working out, I will achieve my goal!!
My friend, Erica, lost 8.8 lbs during her first challenge!! I'm so proud of her!! ❤️ 

The best part for me, is how I FEEL! For the past two years, my health has been at an all time low. I was constantly exhausted, in extreme pain, and just ill. I would drink a TON of coffee each day, hoping it would help me feel less tired. All that ever did was hurt my stomach and my nervous system.
I'm not exaggerating when I say that even something as simple as knitting was painful. 

I'm doing WAY more than I ever thought I would be able to in the past month. I have had only one cup of regular coffee in over a week! More of my energy is coming back, I'm in less pain, and overall feel healthier. My body is getting the nutrients/vitamins/minerals it needs to help keep me strong and healthy. 
With all the results I'm getting (both inside and out), I certainly won't give up! 🙌🏼
I can't wait to see where I am 6 months from now! 😍




The gym has a massive cardio movie theater room! I hop on the treadmill/bike/etc., and before I know it I've gone so much further than I thought I could!




I'm getting better at meal prepping! It's easy when I have the shakes to replace breakfast and lunch; all I have to worry about is snacks and dinner!

Brussel sprouts are a go-to!


I hope y'all are enjoying watching me on this journey! I would love to help others achieve their fitness goals as well! 💪🏼 If you are ready, let me know!!




QUESTIONS:

* Do you enjoy working out at a gym?

🌷❄️ Sprinter ❄️🌷

Hey y'all!! ☀️ It's a gorgeous but chilly day! Brrrr! It is that awful moment during the season where it wants to be Spring, but also wants to stay Winter = SPRINTER. 😂 Am I right?!

Our magnolia tree is beginning to bloom! 🌷 It's such a gorgeous tree; I can't wait for it to fully bloom & get some more pictures to share! We planted this tree years ago for our 4 year wedding anniversary! 💑


Unfortunately, the hubby and I have both been under the weather this past week. I deal with chronic illness on a daily basis, so I was still able to be somewhat productive. 

I treated myself to a "spa day" at home. I love trying new facial masks. Anyone else a mask girl?! 
The Herbalife SKIN purifying mint clay mask is a game changer for me! I never had a mask make my skin feel that tight and fresh before! PLUS, it smells AMAZING!!


I am SUPER excited for the next 6 Day Eat Clean Challenge - it begins on the 15th! I lost 7.2 lbs from my first challenge! My goal is to beat my last results! 💪🏼


Isn't it insane what can happen in just 6 days?! Seriously though, you get to join a terrific accountability group; get TONS of information on meal plans, workouts, and more; a chance to win some $$$$ (the last winning pot was over $800)!! It's amazing!

With the challenge starting next week, I just stocked up on some extra goodies besides the delicious shakes! Aloe concentrate (mango), Prolessa Duo, Cell-U-Loss, Probiotics, Beverage mix (peach mango), Fiber (apple), and Sleep Now!



I couldn't wait to try the "Bikini in a Bottle" recipe! 👙 This drink mix will replace one of my protein filled snacks per day!





👍🏼 It tastes yummy!!! 👙☀️

I highly recommend putting all the ingredients in a cup first and then pour 12-16 oz hot water into it. Then, add as much ice as you want to chill the drink. The drink itself can get a little grainy, so the hot water will help break down the powder mix. It tastes really great, so shake it up and drink it fast!

Send me a DM for more information on products, the 6 Day Eat Clean Challenge, etc! 😊

Don't forget, you can go to my website and look at all the incredible products Herbalife offers! Also, take the FREE Wellness Evaluation!

A Visit to Historic Rugby

Happy Saturday!!

Yesterday, the hubs had the day off. It was such a gorgeous day, so we decided to venture someplace new! Historic Rugby was our decision, and it turned out to be amazing! As soon as we pulled into the Visitor Center, we were welcomed and greeted by the sweetest people! It turned out that they were closed for the season, however, sweet Sue Belle still gave us a private tour! Sue was awesome, and Nathan and I were technically her first tour! Many of the buildings were closed, but the ones we were able to go into were stunning!

Historic Rugby is quite a unique place to visit up in the Cumberland Plateau. It was founded in the 1880's by a British author, & Social Reformer, Thomas Hughes. Thomas Hughes had a vision to create a community he considered to be an aspiring Utopia, especially for the younger sons (not likely to inherit any money) of British families. The village is tucked away in a serene area near the Big South Fork National Park.
Although Thomas Hughes had tremendous goals and dreams for the town, it declined in the 1900's with many people abandoning the area. After years of struggle to keep the town in good shape, a new man, Brian Stagg (in the 1960's) helped repair and restore the image along with the help of some of the descendants of the original settlers. Thanks to Brian Stagg, the village and many of the buildings are registered as Historical landmarks.

Here are some of the pictures I took along our walking tour:

Straw Hats made in the 1900's

Alexander-Perrigo House
Thomas Hughes Library

Episcopal Church


School House/Museum

Harrow Road Cafe

Print Shop



The town and buildings officially re-open March 17th - there will also be an event going on that day called "Hike Rugby." This little town is super cute, and everything is within walking distance!
I'm looking forward to going back as soon as they open so we can check out the inside of ALL the buildings, and the cafe! There are cute places to stay, including a Bed & Breakfast!
Check out the website for more information: Historic Rugby

There is so much history to be appreciated in Historic Rugby. It's truly fascinating how one man's dream continues thanks to the volunteers who are extremely dedicated in keeping the town alive!

I highly recommend checking out Historic Rugby, especially if you live in Knoxville (and surrounding areas)!! You won't be disappointed!! 😀
