Thursday Training Update

This last week has been insane! The hubs and I went to Charlotte to look at houses, found one, made an offer, signed paperwork. Plus, he stayed behind to start his new job and I came home to work and to single parent for the week. You never realize how much you count on someone until they're not around! Yikes I'm tired!
I did manage to get some workouts in, though....


I've also been jogging on front of the TV at night. I have a 14 day step streak going, 10k a day. I've been super tired and fightomg a cold, but. I'm not giving that streak up! 
I tested out Hammer and Chisel, but I'll be officially starting it on Monday. With all of the travel and craziness, I haven't been able to get to the grocery store, but I'll be srocked up and ready to go by Monday!

How was your week, are you ready for Christmas?

Cold and Flu Season, Nektar Honey Crystals, and a #beesweet #Giveaway

When I am not running, working out, house hunting, or blogging, I am a Nanny. I'm not sure if I ever mentioned it before, isn't that funny? I work with two amazing little girls, two days a week each. They are both pre schoolers, which means I am constantly subjected to germs. Every year I get at least one really fabulous cold. Yay.
Thanks to Sweat Pink and Nektar Honey Crystals, I have something yummy to put into my tea when I start feeling froggy and thick headed. I received this box set in exchange for an honest review!

 
 
No more thick, sticky mess when I make my tea, this honey and cane sugar delight pours easily, and mixes in quickly, and I can enjoy my tea without the mess! Special thanks to Nektar for including a measuring spoon set to help me! 
 
 
Nektar Honey Crystals aren't just for tea either! You can add it to an apple, along with some cinnamon, raisins, walnuts, and butter (core out the center of the apple and pour everything right in there) and then bake at 375' for about an hour.  Deliciousness! Check out Nektar Naturals for even more recipes!
The college girl got a peek at my newest find and I had to fight her for it! Luckily, I can get more at Walmart, and I will be sure to get some before she returns for the Spring semester. As a Musical Theater major, she drinks a LOT of tea!
As a special Christmas gift to one of my lucky readers, I have a 6 oz. bottle of Nektar Honey Crystals! This giveaway is for US citizens only, and my friends at Nektar are asking that if you win a bottle from another giveaway, that you share the love and let me pick a new winner. This giveaway will go live tonight and I will choose the winner a week from today, on December 15th!

Moving....a Grand Adventure

The hubs and I took another trip to Charlotte, and this time we found a house! He is making an offer this week, fingers crossed that it's accepted and everything works out as it should! We still have to sell our house, so there will be some juggling!
While we were here, we made sure to get some movement in, and we found a great Greenway to walk through each morning!
We also found that the Carolina Thread Trail passes right behind our house!
Some pictures......

Wordless Wednesday

My kids are too old for an Elf on the Shelf, but I recently inherited one of my Nanny's 50+ year old elves that used to sit in the tree when I was little, when my Dad was growing up......
