Southwest Livin: New Year...New Beginnings!

Hey all! I've missed blogging so here I am getting my fix. It has been a busy couple of months. We have finally adjusted and settled into our new home. School break just ended and now it's back to our normal routine! We are definitely getting off to a slow start... How long does it normally take for you and your family to get back into the swing of things? I just feel like we are still dog tired in the morning and I don't have any motivation to do any type of cleaning! I did, however, take my tree and Christmas deco down this past Sunday so I guess that is an accomplishment on my list. So just like 80% of the population we are trying to get back into shape. I am trying out the food prepping in advance to keep myself from eating unhealthy. I made these amazing mini-quiche. I have made these before but the other recipe I used before wasn't nearly as good. This is the recipe I used... mini-quiche recipe.

Next time I want to add mushrooms and swiss cheese...yum! My goal for the week is to eat clean and add more protein in my diet. Plus my hubby and I have a little contest for who can lose the most weight based on our body percentage. See I am 4'11 and my hubby is 6'1 ish so we had to make it fair because we all know 5 lbs for me is not the same for him! I really enjoy a challenge and plus it gives me more motivation! We plan on doing weekly weigh-ins to see our progress so I will let you know this Sunday how I did this week :)

Living in Arizona has been so amazing! The weather is fantastic especially since I hate snow, rain, humidity, and freezing cold temps! The kids enjoyed a bike ride on Christmas day which is crazy to me. My oldest enjoyed an outdoor Birthday for the first time last November...this is the Party Bunch. It was a Minecraft themed party...I'm not even going to get into the Minecraft obsession right now.
