February challenge
http://ift.tt/2kQSSFb
Well, it seems I spoke too soon about this new medication working. I had a terrible day yesterday. It's still only been three weeks since I started taking it, but after this weekend and yesterday, I'm not so sure it's doing anything. I have a follow-up appointment with my doctor on the 9th, so we can figure out what to do then.
It's so weird how much my emotions can swing sometimes. I'm going to ask my doctor about testing my hormones and vitamins and things, too, just to make sure it's not something to do with that. I'm just SO ready to get out of this funk that's been going on since June!
I have managed to stay on track with my eating, though.

LIAM 313 – Success Principle: Purpose
So, that thing you just did, did you do it on purpose? I hope so. One of the things successful people consistently do is this: they have a purpose for everything they do! The word “purpose” means: “the reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists.” Many people are simply going through the motions of life or are simply reacting to situations and other influences without much forethought as to the reason for doing what they do or thinking what they think. You should have a clear purpose, a “why,” for all of your goals, all of your activities, and all of your decisions. It’s one thing to know what you want. It’s another thing to know why you want it, what you will do with it, how it will enhance your life and the lives of others. Listen as I explain:

Motivated Monday : Food Prep.
http://ift.tt/2jngVyV
Weight Loss
I'm determined to get some abs, I've been killing it in the kitchen and in the gym. The harder I work the more motivated I am. Giving up sugar and alcohol was hard at first, but honestly the longer I stick to it the easier it is - we've had a box of TAG A LONGS in the house and I don't even want one. Not worth it to me right now.
I've simplified my meals and it's been so great, I think less about food and stress less about what to eat. When I get tired of a meal, I just change it the next week. Planning is 100% necessary no matter your situation, even if you are home every day you need to plan ahead for success.
I still spend 1-2 hours on a Sunday meal prepping.
I sleep in, get up and drink a cup of coffee while planning our meals. I clean out the fridge and pantry, see what we need, and make a grocery list.
I swear we spend half our income on food, we eat 95% of our meals at home. I am pretty picky on brands we use, but making a list and sticking to it does help. What does NOT HELP is that the only jerky I love it 15 bucks. I tried the cheaper one, swear, but it sucked so hard.
I made these turkey meatballs last week - EVERYONE loved them so I put them in rotation again this week. Plus they were so easy to make ahead and just heat up with quinoa and tomato sauce for dinner on the go.
I also have to prep double the chicken because Oliver is all truffle chicken. Still using the Truffle Rub from AllSpice.com I cook my chicken at 425 with a electric meat thermometer until is says 165 degrees.
I do not cut it until I use it for my lunch, that way it doesn't dry out.
I made this for dinner on Sunday night - it was fabulous!!! Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken with Sweet Potato. I'm lazy and did not cook the sweet potato in the oven, that takes way too long, so I peeled and boiled in chucks. Plus it's easier to weigh. The sauce on top is what really makes it, greek yogurt, blue cheese, milk, and vinegar.
My favorite part of Sunday is around 6:30 when my food prep is done, my kitchen is clean, and I can go take a hot bath and watch Hulu until we go to bed.

Friday Favorites: Beauty.
http://ift.tt/2kC4LCA
Weight Loss
Time to update on my favorite beauty products! I'm such a beauty product junkie, ever since high school and I dyed my hair every color and wore silver lipstick thinking I was so cool. Those 5 years I worked for Ulta were the best - new products every week!
Cleaning: I absolutely love love love this balm, Take Off the Day Balm
. It feels so luxurious on my skin, the Take the Day Off Cleansing Towelettes
I use for my eye and lip makeup. The Clarisonic Mia 
I use after I put on the balm, it's really gets deep to remove all the makeup.
I go back and forth between these two foundations, both have great coverage and lasting power. The Hourglass is great for drier skin, the Becca is better for oily/combo skin.
I use the Boo-Boo Cover-Up Concealer
under my eyes to brighten, it's something I found in my Ipsy bag - which I still have listed as my #1 subscription bag. I like a light finishing powder, nothing heavy, and my sister recommended the It Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores Poreless Finish.
Spray tan fades fast from my face, theBalm Betty-Lou Manizer
fixes my life on those days. If I could only live on two make up items it would be blush and lipstick, this NARS Orgasm Blush
is a gorgeous soft color for every day use.
100% best eyeshadow kit ever, I just love a good matte shadow, I use every single color in here. Too Faced Natural Matte Palette
I've long been on a hunt for great eyeliner, I have a hard time getting close to my lash line because of my lash extension, but this liquid liner has a fabulous tilting handle for easy application.
I've become addicted to my LipSense lipstick - I talked before about how much I hated it the first time I tried it. Then I tried again and actually followed the directions.
My recent hair color and cut is probably my favorite, but then again I love to change my hair pretty often LOL I've been digging it blowed out straight with a blow dryer and large round brush.
I switched my Pureology to this Redken Volume High Rise Shampoo & Conditioner
, I like the volume it gives me without drying my hair.
On day 3 hair I like to take my Nume and curl it a bit, then fluff the crap out.
The Aquage is an old fav, but this Dirty Dry Wax Spray,
stuff is pretty amazing, perfect amount of texture. Plus I feel like it lasts all day in my hair, I can re-poof as needed.
That's a wrap. Also be sure to stop by and check out my favorite faith based fitness shirts from Fit Darlings!

My favorite colors are Bombshell {a great pink nude}, Rose Ice {frosty light pink}, and Caramel Apple {darker pinky plum}. I recently started carrying theses over at Ollie Mare, if you'd like help finding your perfect color you can email me {a selfie!} at olliemarieboutique@gmail.com

Hello, Year 36

In case you haven't noticed, I've finally picked up the posting frequency on my blog--I hope this means that my new antidepressant is working! I haven't felt a huge difference in my mood, but I've definitely felt a subtle, "Huh, I don't feel as sad today" or "I feel kind of energetic today". I've been making more plans, too, which is another sign it may be helping. I still don't feel back to "normal", but also not as bad off as I felt a month ago.
