Monthly Goals Review & Healthy Breakfast Recipe

by Mollie


   This year I have been really challenged to spend my time well.  To be "in the moment" with what I am doing, whether it is playing with my kids or working on a task... I want to be focused and disciplined.  


 Since January I have been setting monthly personal/fitness goals and I thought I would share with you last months goals and how I accomplished them and then my upcoming goals for May. I would love the accountability! 


April Goals

• Get into a Bible Study (some girlfriends and I are starting one!)
• Organize girls closet
• Organize sewing corner
• make girls Easter dresses
• go on a date with my hubby
• spend less money
• clean out my car
• clean out Ronnie's car for him
• do an act of service - deliver a meal

 I missed a couple of my goals, but my plan is to roll them over into this months goals...

 I really like the idea of being intentional.  Ronnie and I are trying to sit down every night and plan out our days together.  Literally hour by hour. Not that we HAVE to stick to it (life happens right?) but it does allow us to be much more productive throughout the day.  Its not for everyone, but its working for us right now..


Speaking of something that's working.. I have been making "Egg Pizza" for my kiddos the last week for breakfast and they LOVE it! I wanted to share the recipe. 


 Egg Pizza
makes 4


2 Bagel Thins (we use the everything bagels)
4 eggs
4 TBSP shredded low-fat cheddar cheese
Salt & pepper to taste


Turn your oven onto broil high. Preheat a skillet over medium high heat.  Fry each egg using a bit of non-fat cooking spray and allow them to cook through (I poke the yokes cause we dont like them runny).  On a baking sheet lay out the bagel thins.  Top each bagel with an egg and a TBSP of cheese.  Put under the broiler for 2-3 min until cheese is melted and bagel is toasted.  Allow to cook and enjoy!


 Its a low calorie, high protein, healthy breakfast! I have been serving it with 1/2  banana or some honeydew melon. 


 I hope you have a great week!

Insta-Saturday...

by Mollie

 

I was kinda grateful that Jeanette posted Insta-Saturday because I was totally behind this week.  I am NOT grateful that it was because Jeanette was in the hospital with her little one.  (she is totally in our prayers Jeanette!)

 Here is my week at a glance..

We just discovered the pint size shopping carts and HOLY toledo does this make my shopping easier with my girl.  Ronnie and I got to jet out really fast with Zoie to the store to grab dessert for family night dinner and it was so fun! 

I have been doing a bootcamp type class for two months now.  It is so nice to have a super hard workout done by 7am. 

a) I got new shoes

b) I got some snuggles

I got to go on a Women's Retreat with my church and some girlfriends and I went to lunch.  I totally had one of these for dessert... AMAZING!

Those blue eyes and two tiny teeth melt my heart...

Pretty sure I could quote every word for you...

The hubs got me tickets to Cirque du Soeli for my birthday and we got a quick beach date in before.  We saw Totem and it was INCREDIBLE! The way the performers can move their bodies is astonishing... 

Hope you all had a good week too!
