Better odds of..........

I'm sure your all dreaming of what you would do should you win the Powerball or even a portion of it. Quite honestly it would be both a curse and a blessing!

We had some scratch off tickets from Christmas we won a whopping $15.00 on. So I pitched in a buck and said gimme some Quick Picks! The odds of winning that mind boggling jackpot of $1.5 billion are 1 in 292.2 million. But somebody's gotta win right!?

I figured for fun I'd share a few things you'd have better odds of happening than having that winning that Powerball ticket!

1. Getting struck by lightening, 1 in 164,968.

2. 1 in 3 million chance of seeing a UFO.

3. You'd have a 1 in 10 million chance of being elected president.

4. The odds of having quintuplets are 1 in 92,720.

5. Being dealt a total flush in a poker game odds are 1 in 649,740.

I'll be waiting for the drawing IF I can stay up that late! I'll have my fingers crossed just like every other ticket holder. But, if you don't hear from me for a while, I might be passed out on my livingroom floor in sheer panic because my life has just changed! LOL!

Two peas in a pod

Boomer and Teigan are inseparable! Chances are if one is getting into trouble the other isn't far away! This was this morning within an hour time span. I SERIOUSLY have two toddlers on my hands! There's never a dull moment with these two!

What's your chances for success?

I'm slowly becoming one of those self proclaimed health nuts. Is it hard? ABSOLUTELY! I'm certainly not perfect, no one is, even your hard core fitness buff is bound to cave on a cookies at some point in time. Don't beat yourself up over it!

Focus on your goal. Make it REASONABLE! None of this I need to lose 10lbs in a week crap. Be SMART about it. The buddy system is always a good idea. Grab a pal and use them for accountability! Make yourself a reward chart(ex: lose 5lbs new shirt, 10lbs a pedicure, 15lbs get your hair done).

On certain days I have no motivation so I'd consider myself at 0%. The days I have Crossfit I'm at 100%! Buuuut, then there are the 50% half ass it days. But the way I look at it I'm still accomplishing more than the person sitting on the couch!

I had crossfit this morning and man it was a KILLER workout.....I'm currently half assing the rest of my day curled up under the Minion fleece(which is slowly becoming mine) and having to share the chair with Boomer(the only reason she's snugly is because of the sunny patch).<\p> Hopefully you'll find your success rate rising daily, weekly, or monthly!

Getting a grip on the 21 day fix

Yesterday we went shopping and prepared for the 21 day fix. It's going to take some time to get a grip on the shopping list.....I'm slightly picky so it's going to be some taste testing!

Don't mind the not so "good for you foods". Teigans little she needs some junk food RIGHT!?

Yesterday I was able to figure up my calorie intake before little miss was up!

Here's what mine looks like:

153x11= 1,683

+ 400

2,083

- 750

1,333 my calorie target

I get to consume the numbers of containers in the very first column. It may not seem like a whole lot but it really is!

The above picture is the breakdown of what the colored containers are for and how much they hold! This system seems a little overwhelming at first. It's the shopping that trips me up! Within another week or so I'm sure I'll have a system down and will actually have meal plans! I also need to work on a good way to keep track of my containers used.

I'm also trying to stick to the 6 small meals a day. My breakdown according to my current schedule is:

7 am- Breakfast
3 pm- Snack
10 am- Snack
5 pm- Supper
12 pm- Lunch
8 am- Snack

Come back and visit for more 21 day fix posts in the near future! I'll get this figured out step by step!

Easy peasy lemon ice cubes....?

Such a simple concept.....a real AH-HA moment. I was surfing the wonderful world of Pinterest and came across Lemon Cubes. My primary drink is water(I hope your all consuming your 1 gallon(128 oz) of water daily)! I do love me some lemon water! We went shopping earlier this afternoon to get set for the 21 day fix starting tomorrow. Stay tuned for more on that!

While we were there I simply grabbed a container of lemon juice. Got out an ice cube tray, filled it up, popped it in the freezer, then enjoy! Ridiculously easy to jazz up that water! I've included a picture tutorial below. It's pretty cut and dry so I won't be explaining the steps again!

ENJOY! Don't forget to drink your gallon of water daily!! I GUARANTEE you'll feel BETTER! Small changes make a BIIIIIIIIIG difference!

Operation Organization

I'm patiently waiting to start my 21 day fix until tomorrow. My Crossfit class is doing a 12 week challenge, the trainer has included a shopping list and meal guide. I figured pair them up together and how PERFECT! I'm a picky eater in some ways so I'm hoping the food list will work for me.....if not I will just have to do the clean eating on my own part!

That leads me to organization!

My plan is to go room by room, cabinet by cabinet, and closet by closet in this house and WIPE OUT anything that is not used or needed. The exception of outgrown baby clothes and toys(currently we are on the one and done plan)we are holding onto them just in case.

I got a pretty good start in the kitchen yesterday. I'm allowing myself the entire month for each room. I'm sure some of you will be thinking, "Wow how cluttered is their house" the reality, I have an almost 2 year old that no longer naps. A nap is a very rare and coveted thing in our household! Although, she has been a cat napper since she arrived on this earth 15 minutes here 30 minutes there. But unfortunately at 9 months she was over napping!

Anyway, but allowing the whole month I don't have to be rushed. I've seen the 52 week organization challenge and honestly I wanted to do that one. But this month thing seemed so much more attainable! If I finish the designated room early I can get an early jump on the next area!

HAPPY ORGANIZING

Tangerines vs. Grapefruits

First off....HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Now, heading into 2016 I still have NO issues exercising. My problems lies solely in the food. I.LOVE.FOOD. I'm horrible with what I eat and how much. I had read about and seen ads on the 21 Day Fix. Soooooo I figured the new year sure why not. I didn't need the exercise part since I've got that covered. I did find portion control containers on Amazon along with meal prep storage.
