☀️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!!
