Making Goals

I like to constantly make new goals for myself.  I can't say I always meet these goals or I don't give up on them once I've somewhat met them but I at least try.  One goal that I am always striving to meet is being healthy: body, mind, and spirit. 

I started with this goal by trying to be more positive, especially at work which is where I struggle with it the most.  I have just been trying to cut out as much negativity around me as possible.  I then decided I needed a healthier body so I joined bootcamp again and it has made me feel so much better, after a good workout I am instantly in a great mood and start the mornings off right. Next is spirit which really for me just means going to church and praying more often.  The prayer thing I have got covered but I'd be lying if I didn't say there are Sundays I skip church (gasp! don't tell my mom!).

Part of this being healthy thing for me means cooking more often!  David says my family is weird in that we prefer a home cooked meal over eating out anytime.  David definitely prefers eating out, take out, etc.  and he got me in a bad habit of this quick and easy dining.  However, he says he is sick of going out to eat with me because there are only about 5 restaurants in Pensacola I'll go to and I basically order custom meals and it is embarrassing. Also, Beck has decided he hates restaurants too...

I don't have much time to get dinner on the table after work so quick meals and crock pot meals are my friends.  I have found great recipes on Pinterest and have had David pick out the ones that look appealing to him.  Last night I made avocado and bacon pasta salad and it was awesome!  It was light and so quick and easy, find the recipe here.  I did alter it a little by adding tomatoes and broccoli and using lemon pepper instead of lemon juice and freshly grated Parmesan cheese instead of Romano.

 

YUM!


 David and Beck love Mexican so I am always trying to come up with new Mexican dishes (tacos can get old fast). This weekend I am trying this.  If it's a hit it will be one of my go to crock pot meals.  The crock pot is so great because I can throw everything in before I leave for work and I come home to a completely cooked and ready meal. 



 Looks Delicious!

Happy Friday!!
