#Mamavation Monday ~ Healthy Snacks

Its been two weeks since I have been able to take the time to make my Monday post, but as you all know, we moms, always put the needs of our children, spouse & house in front of our own needs & I failed to take "me" time to let you all know how well I have been doing.  But first, I want to talk about snacks.  Snacks are a must in my house.  My youngest is my biggest snacker.  Thankfully, now that I cleared a bunch of the UN-healthy food out of the house she is limited to granola, fruits & veggies.  But as expected with list of supplies to creativity to keep them exciting is getting harder & harder.  I am constantly hearing "mom, I'm hungry"  It doesn't help that during the kids T.V. time there are so many commercials for those quick snacks, which are full of trans fats & unhealthiness.  The first example of that is pizza rolls.  My kids always ask if they can get those when were at the store, but I say no because they are not healthy.  I really hope that I can make it to tonight's Mamavation T.V. show tonight to learn what hints the guest Jasmine (@Healthy Jasmine) has to give us.

HOW I'VE BEEN...

The weeks are flying by since picking up additional hours at work. Which is a good thing because I don't have time for snacking between meals!  I've also been better about planing out all the meals for the week.  However exercise has been extremely lacking & by that I mean not at all.  The only exercise I am able to get lately is attending my Martial Arts class that I am taking.  I need to be able to figure out another time of day in which I can workout while keeping with this new schedule.  So no excuses, I need to exercise more, even if its only a quick 10 min burner workout that I learned thanks to the most recent 2 week challenge.

THE WEIGH IN...

Drum-roll please.....
