Wow...We have not done a very good job at keeping our blog updated and we apologize! The past few weeks have been absolutely crazy! Both of us have been fighting off colds, sinus headaches, coughs...whatever else that has been going around here in Michiana. This crazy weather has NOT helped and it seems that when one of us is feeling better, the other one gets something else. It's a vicious cycle! LOL
On top of being sick, both of us have been on stress overload. Ashley's husband has become the new store manager at the Sears in Bourbonnais, IL. Although this is something Ashley & Rick have been wanting, it now means that Ashley is moving in June. :o( Carrie has recently started back at Victoria's Secret, so on top of her full time job through the week, she is now working again on the weekends. All of this stress/change has made it a little harder to stay on our schedule...ok, a lot harder.
As many can probably relate, when you're sick and/or stressed, all you want is comfort food. Needless to say, we had quite a few cheat days these past few weeks. :o/ Something we both have found out though, is that after we cheated, we wish we hadn't. The food may have tasted good, but we just felt like it sat heavy in our stomachs. We're working on getting back on track and learning from our "mistakes."
One thing we like to help us "restart" is the Fat Burning Cocktail. All it is, is green tea and the juice of 1 orange, lemon, and lime. We drink this stuff like it's going out of style. It took us a while to get the ratio correct and for it to taste good! We use a 12 cup coffee pot to make our "cocktail." We brew 5 bags of Lipton Green Tea with a full pot of water and add the citrus juice. It takes some getting used to, but after awhile, we craved it! We've found that it also helps with any bloating we're experiencing.
As soon as things settle down around here, we're going to try to start posting a bit more regularly. Please don't forget about us! And if there's anything you'd like to know, please leave us a comment either on here or one of our Facebook pages. We're always open to ideas on what we should write about! :o)
