McFatty Monday - Summer Slim Down

Everyone seems to be writing about the struggle of being a woman and loosing weight

after the baby. I too am trying to do the same. It's hard. 

I work full time and go to school full time. Then when I get home I have to be the full time

mom/wife. It never ends for us mother's. 

Cleaning, Cooking, Laundry, Bills, Budgets 

I've been on the cleanse again Isagenix for the last week. I hope to stick on it for the rest of the summer 

and back to my old self. Heck I would settle for my high school weight. That would be 

awesome. 

So after 1 week 4lbs down.

Weee.....

I need to take a self shot of myself and post it. 

Maybe next week... for my next McFatty Monday Post.

Thoughts.....

What kind of diets are you guys doing?

What's working for you?

How many lbs do you need to loose.. maybe we can do it together?

Fat Friday... 2nd Cleanse Day

So, I'm on track so far as to a week back on Isagenix. It's such an amazing product.

I feel so energetic again. I got some new products in the mail yesterday.

Isa Pro 

Protein Supplement to add to my shakes. I never seem to eat enough protein..

Do you?

Slim Cakes

Isa Lean Shakes

I'm so excited about my newest products. Is anyone interested in doing a weight

challenge with me. Or maybe we can have several of us doing to together.

I've lost 14lbs and 16 inches in 15 days. This products is amazing.

If you are interested in anyother information, please email me Kristina.J.Ruth@gmail.com

"Mommy, Mommy, Mommy!".... Thankful

I love Mackenna with all my heart since the day she was born, but I seem to fall even more

in love with her now that she can communicate with me and talk to me.

For the longest time Mackenna was always interested in "Daddy".

Daddy, Daddy, Daddy! 

So, not fair, right!?! 

All of a sudden it was "Mommy" Finally...

So now when she wakes up from her nap, granted if she knows i'm there or not, she scream "Mommy" 

until I go in there and get her. Everytime she says mommy, it melts me like a creamsicle.  She is starting

to pick up words left and right. Now when I put her to bed she tells me "nuh night mommy, I luv you."

She isn't even 2 yet.... but I love the fact that when I say I love you, she can tell me back. 

I'm am so blessed to have such a smart and loving child. She will be 2 next month and 

I feel like these precious moments with her and flashing before my eyes. When people

say "they grow up fast", I now am a firm believer of this statement, because it's so true. 

This Week I'm thankful for....

Mackenna's New Doll and Monday Weekly Meal Plan

Yes it's true when they say once you have children the parcels in the mail stop coming for you!

It's so true, Mackenna Jane get's more mail than I have in my whole life. 

Ok, that is not true ;) She is sooooooo... spoiled. 

MorMor sent Mackenna a new doll. You can zip up her shirt, button, Velcro, tie shoes. 

Mackenna loves it. 

(MorMor) - is my grandma and the MorMor is the Norwegian name for Grandma. 

She is Mackenna's Great Grandmother.

Mackenna has only had this since Friday and the poor thing probably could stand 

a cycle in the washer machine. She drags it behind her thinking that the doll is walking

with her, but the poor doll is just getting dragged. Last night she insisted that

the doll went with her in the crib. Usually it's her $5 monkey from a gas station that says "I love California"

This is a good story actually...

About a year ago, my mom moved from Lake Tahoe, CA to Los Angeles. 

Well, (Thousand Oaks to be exact)

My mom left a day before me with Mackenna to drive down there. 

They stopped for Gas and my mom bought Mackenna this Red Monkey that has ("I Love California").

Mackenna to this day drags this thing everywhere and love's her Monkey.

She can even now say "Monkey" ... Pretty cute.

Anyway, her monkey has been in the washer machine at least 20 times in the last year.

So, I was super surprised when the monkey was on the floor and her new doll was in her bed wit her.

So, Kudos to MorMor good choice.

Goodbye to the weekend.....

Weekends seem to go by so fast. We have officially been our new place for a week now 

and I love, love, love it. 

We played in the front yard in the grass this weekend and went to the park. 

Weekends keep getting shorter and shorter it seems. Although on a positive note

I think it really maybe summer in Tahoe... Finally.
