Picture Perfect Post


This Picture Perfect Post was way to hard to pick just one picture, so I decided to pick a few to get into the winter/Christmas mood!


This is the cottage from the movie The Holiday. Totally Love!


This picture makes me warm and fuzzy, it's from the first Harry Potter movie.

This is going to be my next project I am going to start working on after all my presents are made.

We were having a little too much fun at the fact that Cabela had to be outin the cold! The skeleton is one of those window decorations.

HEY GUYS! I'm cold out here, stop laughing at my expense!
 
 
I love this time of year; the fresh cold air, sweatshirts, cuddling with blankets, watching movies by the fire, hot chocolate, apple cider, and patiently waiting for the snow to fall. I know Thanksgiving isn't even here yet, but man am I excited for Christmas. Hallmark has been playing Christmas movies already and I cannot get enough of them! My all time favorite Hallmark Christmas movie is "The Christmas Card". You should watch it!!

COMING SOON!
Well Just as I have made my list for my Halloween Prep, there is most definetly a Thanksgiving one and a Christmas!
 

 
 
 
 
Have a Great Day!!

What I Have Been Learning...((on fitness))



For a better Metabolism!!
1.       Eat Slow, and then you won’t over eat.

2.       Dine in, Dining out id harder to find healthy options

3.       Plan ahead; know what you are going to eat so you don’t give in to fast food.

4.       Eat often, aim for three healthy meals and a day and 2 small snacks. Eating about every three hours.

5.       Don’t drink your sugar, no pops, sugary mixed drinks or even orange juice. Water, wine or beer!

6.       Half fruit and Half Veggies, Breakfast should be half fruit and lunch and dinner should be half veggies!

7.       Take it easy on peanut butter L

8.       Count your calories, use an app or carry a little notebook in your purse.

9.       Eat lots of fiber.

10.   Eat real food, not processed or packaged foods.

11.   Make sure you are really hungry before you grab a snack. You could be thirsty or in need or a break at work. Your mind can play some dirty tricks.

12.   Watch the sauces, alfredo, tomato, ranch! Instead use hummus or mustard, lite ranch or even take ranch seasoning and add it to Greek yogurt!

13.   Use small plates or utensils. Big plates make you think that you need to fill the whole space.

14.   After a workout don’t get trapped by a “rewarding treat”. A good amount after a workout is 200 calories, if it was a really long workout, 400.

15.   Read this!
 

THE BEST
NUTS Great combination of unsaturated fat and filling fiber.
YOGURT A good source of calcium, plus probiotics for gut health.
FRUITS High water content and key antioxidants and vitamins.
WHOLE GRAINS Packed with B vitamins and fiber.
VEGGIES Low calorie, lots of vitamins and nutrients, and high fiber.

THE WORST
FRENCH FRIES
Deep-frying makes them high in calories and saturated fat.
POTATOES Often fried or covered with butter, sour cream, or sugary ketchup.
SWEETENED BEVERAGES Skip soda to save calories for when you need sports drink.
RED MEATS Avoid fatty cuts, such as T-bone, New York strip, and rib-eye steaks.
PROCESSED MEATS Most contain nitrates and are very high in saturated fat.
 
 

16.    Don’t let yourself get too hungry! Then you over eat and it’s hard to stop eating.

17.    Celebrate; don’t be too hard on yourself. Have a small piece of cake every once and awhile or dessert at a party. Don’t save up calories and eat like crazy some weekend.

18.    Don’t get upset when you don’t stay at your lowest weight, with age you will gain because your body needs it, you cannot stay in perfect fitness forever.

19.    Try this!!

Bicycling [14 to 16 mph]: 682 calories
StairMaster [no hands]: 614 calories
Swimming [50 yards/min]: 545 calories
Elliptical: 491 calories
Walking [15-minute mile]: 341 calories

This really helped me I hope it helps you too!

The Hunting Season


The Talents of Etsy:
 
Here are a few items that I absolutely love, on etsy, that have gotten me in the "Hunting Season" mood.
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
Go Michigan!!
 
 










Update of ME:

So nothing to crazy has been happening lately. Dale and I have gone out hunting quiet a bit so far this fall. I have my fall Turkey and he has his fall Turkey and bow license for deer hunting. The first day out hunting for him, he got a doe. A good size girl too! Then after skinning it and vaccum packing all the meat he shot a turkey right out side the house within an hour and had it skinned and packed away in 7 mins flat. Wow I am so proud of my redneck man.

Cabela went to the vet last week and she is ALMOST 50 pounds!! But her height is still small. Hopefully shes done growing, she's the perfect size right now!! She's grown soo much! It's kinda sad that she's not my baby puppy anymore...

Cablea at 7 Weeks
At 4 Months
At 7 Months
(Current)
 
 




I am so ecited for fall, it really is the best season!! This is just a list of a few things we have planned for the month of October!!
 
1. Pick out pumpkins
5. Carve the pumpkins we picked out!!
6. HALLOWEEN!!!
 

 
Happy Fall!

DIY

So yesterday I saw this on etsy for $65.00 plus shipping and handling......Outrageous!

 
So I thought that maybe I could do the same thing for way less, and I did!!


 
 



It took me a bit of time and a program at work, but I really thinks it's cute!!!
I like the second one the best, but I have finally figured out how to do different colors! I might make these for gifts and even sell them if people are that crazy about them.
