I've been trying to make an effort to eat better the past few months and let's just say the experimenting with recipes has been well 50/50. I grew up on Guam where every meal is served with rice and don't get me started on finadene! The transition to give up rice is tough. But I try... every week :) This past weekend, I made Spanish tortilla (Paleo recipe found here) I was too lazy to go grocery shopping, so I decided to make lunch with what I had on hand. I added bacon and salsa and man oh man - this is certainly a keeper. YUMMO - yep, pulled a Rachel Ray (sorry BA). Recipes like this.... makes it almost ok to give up rice.... almost.

If the day has been a tough one for Kai… she comes home with an overabundance of emotional chaos and says “I’ve had a terrible day!” She then proceeds to tell me all the events that caused her to have such a terrible day. I listen and answer… you had some terrible moments? She pauses… and tries to argue the difference between a terrible day and terrible moments. She thinks she’s won the argument – but I’m more stubborn than her. I want to teach her to find the great moments in each day and not focus on the terrible moments. Wednesday night I was laying on the couch… thinking of the past couple of days and the chaotic mess of it all. Overanalyzing every detail… wanting to crawl into bed and have a big girl meltdown. I was feeling pretty disappointed in myself. Kaili looks at me and says… did you have terrible moments today?

I think she gets it now….

This week was a tough one. I learned my limits in photography… the hard way. I learned I don’t really like to photograph everything… and I don’t have to accept every gig that comes my way – just because it pays. Turning down a paying gig will be tough... but I have to be true to myself and to my client.

Because a post is better with a picture…

Last night I went to bed early so I could get my booty out of bed and into Crossfit 760 by 6am. I was late :( missed the warm up but so glad I went. I met my personal goal so as you can imagine I am on cloud 9!! Since I didn’t prepare Thesha’s Carlsbad maternity session to be posted today – I thought I’d leave you with some goodies from Pinterest in the spirit of getting our booties out of bed and into the gym.
