Yesterday we decided to make some snow ice cream! What better way to pass the time on a snowy cold day off from school! The kids loved it and it was incredibly easy and quick to do!

We used:

5 Cups of Snow
1 cup of almond milk
1 tbpsn vanilla


Mix it all up and we topped it with sprinkles!! Have fun :)

After 2 days into my monthly menu planning I thought I'd share how it was going! The first two dinners were yummy!! Even the kids liked them which is saying something :) The first night was stuffed peppers..they were very easy to make and I was full! Last night I made chicken stuffed with cheese and spinach. It was seriously so good and I felt great after! I found the recipes on the following websites if you'd like to check them out :)

Stuffed Bell Peppers

Stuffed Chicken Breasts 

New Year...New Challenge!! I have a FANTASTIC group starting today!! If you are looking for a place to be held accountable for your goals...have others lift you up and be in the BEST shape of your life then this is for you!! I currently have one spot left and then I'll start filling spots for FEBRUARY!!! :) Contact me at Megan Sweeney Thompson for the last spot or if you have an interest in February :)

I am back at it!! Finally after almost a year of not doing it I have begun my monthly menu planning again. It always feels like such a big task when I sit down to do it but it makes life SO much easier when I grocery shop each week!! Not to mention it's incredibly nice during the week to not have to think about what we are going to have for dinner with everyone's busy schedules. So back to the menu :)....everything on this menu is 21 day fix approved...I have found recipes on my many different websites. It was my goal to not repeat a dinner throughout the month. I was getting tired of eating the same things over and over again and it's much more fun to try something new when cooking! :) The menus links don't work but I will be posting the recipes on each day so you can just click and use the recipe if something looks good to you! If you'd like me to email you the word document I'd be happy to :) Just contact me at Megan Sweeney Thompson on facebook :)

For probably close to ten years I have had an interest in meditation. I've flirted with the idea of "mastering" it. That flirtation usually lasts less than a week. I go into it head strong and am defeated EVERY time. I can run a marathon people but I can't get myself to sit in a calm uninterrupted peace for at lest 5 mins????? This thought also makes my mind agitated and frustrated...my type A control freak mind says you can do this!!! I've tried forcing myself through bikram yoga...which I LOVE the challenge of don't get me wrong...but it's like I'm putting myself through a mental torture chamber. The idea that I have to quiet my mind for 90 mins is like asking me to climb Mt. Everest. Just isn't going to happen easily. So I am once again in my quest to learn how to find that inner calmness. I have done some searching for an app that may help me get started. I stumbled across one called omvana...looks pretty cool. There is a guided meditation....with music...and timers because God knows I will be DYING to know how much time I have left lol. Wish me luck...tonight is Day 1 :)

What is it about a new year and a fresh start? I always get the urge to clean through and purge. Along with that comes a new planner!! I know I know it's just a planner but it's a blank slate with endless possibilities!! :) My geeky side always comes out when I enter a staples. New pens, pencils, SHARPIES!!! Need I say more :). Picking out the right one is a very delicate science! It can't be too big or too small and I need to make sure I have room to have a months glance along with an every day glance. These things are important in my so scattered brain :). SO I get very excited every Jan 1st to open up that new planner and start filling it in. Now of course because I'm type A I have to sit down and fill the month in. There is a strange sort of satisfaction that comes from filling in those little squares and having things organized and ready to rock!! Happy Planning :)

The gyms will now be filled with people. Healthy eat plans are being put into place. Promises are being made to stop smoking, stop spending, stop stop stop. We all make new years resolutions but did you know that only 8% of of us actually stick to them. EIGHT!!!! Come on now that's just CRAZY! It's time we change that. Put ourselves first and make a commitment to making ourselves healthy. One goal I have set for myself this year is to help at least TEN PEOPLE this year lose 20 pounds. That's 200 POUNDS gone!!!!! Let me help you! I"m here to coach and I"m here to HELP!! Let's DO THIS TOGETHER!!! Contact me at Megan Sweeney Thompson on facebook on information on how to join a challenge group. You do not have to buy anything. My coaching is free. Let's end the obesity trend and get HEALTHY!!
