We have a good friend here who left last week for 400 days in Iraq. He has 2 kids, ages 4 & 2. I've been thinking of his wife all week, and promising myself I'll take the time to check in on her, have them over to eat, and spend time with her during the day. Because I can't even imagine Scott beinggone for over a year. And I'm grateful for Justin...I want to thank him, tell him I'm proud, pray for him, and let him know that his service to our great country does NOT go unnoticed.

I love our troops, too. Good stuff, Tiff.

Tiffany, thanks for posting that! After 2 1/2 years of being stationed overseas, my fiance was able to come home for 3 days this week. He will be leaving again for 3 months (for schooling) but it will be nice to just have him in the states finally. Our son has missed his daddy and these couple days has went to fast!

My fiance just told me that it isn't the soldiers that have the hard time, it's those that are left behind. Although I have to somewhat agree....I am SSSOOO PROUD of our military men and women!

Thanks again!

I love this video. The first time I saw it was about six months ago when my brother was still over in Iraq and of course I cryed. This was the second time I have seen this and I still I can't stop crying. I am so grateful that my brother was able to come home alive. I miss my husband! I can't wait for him to come home soon!

Beautiful! My hubby was in the Corp for 8 years and was deployed twice over to Iraq. America wouldn't be what it was without the men and women who fight for the cause!
Great post!!!!

My husbands brother is on his 2nd tour in Iraq and his fiance decided she can't handle it anymore and left him. Watching this is hard.
What our Troops do for us each and every day, there are no words that couldn't even express how thankful we all should be and are!

Thanks for sharing this.

Always Eat After 7: Science

Image
This post is brought to you by our sponsor ,  “ Always Eat After 7 PM ”.  The opinions expressed below are my own. Oh science! I am such a nerd when it comes to data. I love that   “ Always Eat After 7 PM ”  has plenty of it. Understanding how your metabolism works and interacts, not only with the foods we eat, but the times we eat them is so cool. Joel has done the research and really explains ALL the factors that contribute to weight loss (or gain), hormones, metabolism, etc. The data behind eating breakfast, food portion and size, etc is so interesting. Metabolic rates don't slow down during the night? What?? This video is super helpful to understanding the science behind the book. We've been told so much conflicting info on how to eat, when to eat and what to eat. Joel breaks it all down in his comprehensive and easy to understand book. This post is brought to you by our sponsor ,  “ Always Eat After 7 PM ”.  The opinions expressed below are my own.

Always Eat After 7PM- Yay or Nay?

Image
This post is brought to you by our sponsor ,  “ Always Eat After 7 PM ”.  The opinions expressed below are my own. Following Joel's eating plan and tips has been relatively easy. As someone who wasn't much of a breakfast eater before, transitioning my eating to later in the day was totally doable. One of the things I appreciate most about  “ Always Eat After 7 PM ” i s the freedom the plan provides in terms of food choices. I never feel deprived. Its also nice to be able to eat a full dinner with my family and truly enjoying it. Joel includes a great mix of personal experience, motivational talk (you can definitely see why he is a successful personal trainer!) and recipes. For me the recipes are key in my success on any diet or food plan because I'm not a natural chef. I can't just throw some items together and come up with dinner. Haha. So having recipes to follow- especially in the beginning was so important. The other benefit was that I could make dinner for the

True Blood- I'm a Sucker for It.

Image
Get it? My clever play on words. I'm a "sucker". As in "blood Sucker". I crack myself up. My obsession started last season. I could only dream of it during the summer, as we had no HBO at the summer place. I came back home and watched 4 episodes in one day. Heaven. Bliss. Eric. I am obsessed with True Blood. And, completely and totally devoted to Eric. For those of you not watching True Blood {and living incomplete lives}, Eric is the bad boy version of a vampire. He's tall. He's blonde. He's immortal. He's smokin' hot. He's a "sheriff". {And you know how I like a man in "enforcement".} Sigh. So how about you? What's on your mind these days?
