Royally Waiting (Link-up #16)
Welcome to the Royally Waiting link-up where Holly, Katy and I invite you to share what your waiting on this week!
Realizing
My kids and I have very different views as to how summer is going to play out! They seem to think staying up all night and sleeping until noon should be the norm. We are not even two weeks in and my house is a disaster! Time for things to get a little more real around here.
Drying
The basket of clothes for probably the 6th time. I actually needed to put a 2nd load in the dryer but I still didn’t want to fold the first so they all went round and round together. That was two days ago and I now have yet another load that needs to go in the dryer and I just simply cannot bring myself to fold the laundry. Y’all, where does it all come from?!!
Eating
Tuesday was the first day of the Healthy Eating Challenge I’m co-hosting with Sarah and this is the only area where I have my crap together this week! We have a little private Facebook group going and if you would like to join for some accountability and sharing feel free to let me know! I showed you guys on Monday the veggies we cooked and I used the leftovers for both my breakfast and lunch today.
I wasn’t actually starving for breakfast until about 10:15 when I downed this dish. Leftover sweet potatoes, sprouts and some turkey bacon along with 2 eggs, 1 egg white and Frank’s hot sauce for some extra flavor. Probably heavy on the sweet potatoes and a little light on the sprouts but it sure was tasty!
For lunch I added some spring mix to a bowl and topped with sweet potatoes, sprouts, turkey bacon and grilled salmon. I used a few shakes of Tessemmae’s zesty ranch dressing and seriously this was so delish!
Reading
Labels! Even if you aren’t on a strict eating plan, looking at what is in the food you are consuming is pretty eye opening. Sugar is in so many things I never realized before and I’ve really worked to cut sugar; not only the kind we think about with desserts and such but all those hidden sugars in things like spaghetti sauce.
Watching
The NCAA regional baseball tourney! I love, love, love this time of year when the field of 64 comes together and is narrowed down week by week for the College World Series. Lots of great stories out there this year and I can’t wait to see the rest of the story unfold. TCU and Texas A&M both made it past round one and both will be hosting super regionals and we are just so darn thrilled they are not playing one another!
Sleeping
Not enough this week! I remember the days I could stay up past midnight and still get up at 5:30 each morning but that ship has sailed friends. I did not sleep well over the weekend at the resort and now for two days I have stayed up well past my bedtime. Momma can’t hang anymore friends…..and honestly, I’m good with it!
Celebrating
Joining The Blended Blog girls! This news + regional baseball has definitely contributed to the lack of sleep. I’m just so humbled and excited to join the fun.
That’s all I got this week friends! What are you waiting on this week? Link up and share what is going on in your life!
Get Social with Shelly!
