☀️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! πŸ’• He is super needy, but adorable! 


It's been a while since I've posted! Life of course gets in the way sometimes πŸ™ƒHowever, 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!! πŸ˜‚ 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 πŸ˜‚)!



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! πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
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! πŸ’ͺ🏼 If you are ready, let me know!!
