Favorite Healthy Recipie of the Day: Cucumber Avocado Salad #Mamavation Monday

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.
