I am so giddy right now! I am actually taking time to BLOG!!! It has been so long, too long in fact. So much has changed since I last linked up with my fellow Mamavation moms.
Before I share my healthy recipe of the day I wanted to give all of you a quick update with where I am in life. I am VERY happy to share that I have been maintaining my weight since we last met. But that won't last too much longer, why? Well, because I am PREGNANT!!! I am finally over the nausea (I hope). As of today I am 10 1/2 weeks. Both myself & husband were shocked to find out that we were going to have baby #3. I really wasn't expecting it since I have ovarian issues with fibroid & cyst. But the Lord decided to toss us a curve ball & let us know we are not done yet.
Needless to say this weeks topic was a home run with me. I have really been trying to eat healthy this pregnancy. I don't want to gain too much weight, because lets face it. I won't have much me time once the baby comes.
I found the recipe I am about to share while scrolling through Facebook. I am an advocate for Advocare & one of the members shared the following recipe, which I LOVE. Its so delicious & I bet you will love it too.
