Friday Favorites

Happy Friday!


Today is an extra great Friday because I'm only working a 1/2 day and then I'm headed home to finish a home project with Jared :)  Can't wait to share before & after photos!

Before I share my favorites with you, let's all remember what today is...

I can't believe it's been 14 years.

1. New Instagram

I started a new Instagram account just for my blog and am super excited about it!  Come follow me for outfit posts, recipes, favorite finds & lots more! Follow me @thepeacockroost


2. Dylan's Birthday

We celebrated my little brother's birthday this week! So proud of him :)


3. CIZE

My Cize came in & I can't wait to start the program on Monday!  I've heard great things about this program and can't wait to hopefully see some good results :)

4. Fall

Fall is almost here! Now, if the weather would just cooperate so I could wear my fall clothes I would be one happy girl! Lots of fall stuff coming to the blog soon so stay tuned. 

5. Home Decorating

Snapshot of part of one of our built in shelves. 

Now that the weather is going to be cooling off, we're going to be switching our focus from outside projects back to finishing up the decorating inside the house. I'm excited to find new pieces that work great in our home & share the results with you!

We have a very full weekend ahead but fun stuff planned! Hope you all have a great weekend!

Fitness Update

I take being down at all after labor day weekend as a definite win!  I've already been a lot more diligent about taking photos for next week's update so the daily food/workout breakdowns will be back next week!

Also, my CIZE came in.  Yay!  I start that program on Monday so I'm excited to see if that makes much of a difference in my weekly weigh-ins!

Garlic Ranch Chicken

If you're like me, the best recipes are quick, easy & delicious!  Most weeks we're running around like crazy people trying to get everything done, so any dinners I can throw in the crockpot to be ready when we get home are a total win in my book!

This Garlic Ranch Chicken is delicious!  You just throw the ingredients in the crockpot , make some sides when you get home (we like cheesy rice & veggies) & dinner is served!

2 large chicken breasts

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 packet ranch seasoning

Garlic powder to taste

Cook on high in crockpot for approximately 6 hours.

Enjoy!

Weekend Recap

Happy Tuesday!   Isn't it so nice starting the work week on a Tuesday?!  I vote for 3 day weekends every weekend :)

We had a great but busy labor day weekend!

Friday night we went to the OHS vs. Catholic game!  Being at this field together always brings back so many high school memories for us :)

These two lovelies were at the game so we were able to hang out with them!

I'm a daddy's girl for sure :)

Saturday, Darlene & I did a little shopping while Jared was at his fantasy draft!  We picked up some good stuff at TJ Maxx & Target!

Can't wait to share more of my finds but these were two of my faves from Target!

After shopping, it was time for the UL vs. Auburn game!  Jared is a huge Cards fan.  I graduated from both colleges so to say picking a team was hard for me is an understatement!  I just wanted a good game honestly.

Relaxing Saturday night with my love :)

Jared had to work on Sunday so I spent the first part of the day with D&D for church and our church lunch!

Took some sneak peak photos of a look that went up on the blog today.  See it here!

I spent the rest of Sunday doing some planning & prep work for the week ahead and ended the night hanging out with my grandparents :)

Monday we decided to tackle cleaning out our garage to get ready to paint it.  I will share before & after pics when it's done!  We were a dirty mess most of the day but were able to get a lot done. 

We did manage to sneak away for a quick Firehouse Subs lunch.

After we finished up working, went to the grocery, etc., we treated ourselves to a Mexican feast at our favorite local Mexican restaurant, Papa Grande.  Delicious! 

I'm definitely ready to take on this week!  We have such a full week ahead but it's full of good stuff!  Hope you all have a great week!

Friday Favorites

I don't know about you but I am SO excited for the long weekend!  We need some relaxing, catch up time in our house!  Before I go start the weekend, it's time to share my Friday Favorites with you!

1. Working with family.

Jared, my dad & my uncle working on some equipment.  We are so blessed to have our business and love that we have such awesome family to help us out!

2. Date Night

Last Saturday, after doing some aeration work, we did a little shopping in Evansville and then had dinner at one of our favorite restaurants.  If you live in the area and haven't tried CKB in Henderson, you are missing out!

3. Orange Leaf

When big stuff happens in our house, we celebrate with Orange Leaf :)  More to come soon!

4. Football!

Here we are last year at our first OHS football game as a married couple!  We're going to our first game this year tonight & can't wait!

I'm leaving you with just 4 favorites today!  So excited to get this weekend started.  Hope you all have a great one!

Fitness Update

I did not do the best job tracking/taking photos last week so I'm just going to leave you with my overall weight loss!  I'm pretty happy being down 0.8 considering I wasn't as strict.  I've already started being more strict this week and am hoping for a bigger drop next Wednesday!  I also ordered Cize and am looking forward to getting it to step up my workouts.

September Goals

I cannot believe September is here!!  Summer was great but I'm honestly so excited for fall & winter this year since it was such a blur for us last year. 

August

Personal

1. Quality Time/Fun Date Nights

We did this in August!  Several dinner dates, House of Cards marathons, golf range visits!

2. Weight Loss & Increased Exercise

I am officially down 13.2 pounds this month & am exercising pretty much everyday.  I've just been doing circuits and walking but am considering ordering Cize!  Has anyone tried it?

3. Wake Up & Go to Bed Earlier

I have been consistently waking up earlier but I definitely need to work on going to bed earlier! 

4. Bible Study

I did not do very well at adding this to my daily routine this month.  I use my walks in the morning as my prayer time but I need to set aside time each day with my devotional too!

5. Plan my Days

I am definitely getting better at planning out my days again but I need to keep pursuing this!

6. Enjoy life!

This month I really tried not to look too far ahead and enjoy the moment I was in but it was hard!  I need to keep working on enjoying current moments.

Blog

1. Increase Social Media Presence

I made some strides with this in August but need to work even harder at it in September!  Come follow along on my social media pages:

Pinterest

Twitter

Facebook

Instagram

2. Revamp Pinterest Page

I am working on completely updating my Pinterest page.  I've made some progress but still have some work to do!  See my current Pinterest boards here!

3. Clear Vision

I am developing a much more clear vision of where I want this blog to go and hope to share more of that with you all soon!

September

1. Spend time with Jesus daily

My walks in the morning are also my prayer time but I want to start making more time to pray throughout the day, do a daily devotional, etc.  The days I spend more time with Jesus are definitely happier days!  Coincidence?  Definitely not. 

2. Continue quality time/date nights

I want to continue setting aside time not running errands or doing business things to spend time with Jared.  Fun date nights are my favorite and I hope that we continue those this month!

3. Continue daily exercise & weight loss

Although I am down 13.2 pounds, I still have a long way to go to reach my goal!  I want to continue to modify my diet to be healthier and keep making exercise a part of my daily routine.  I just ordered Cize today to try something different in addition to my walking!  Hopefully this will amp up my results!

4. Clean out closets & garage sale prep

Our neighborhood has a huge garage sale every September and it is the perfect time to clean out your closets & make some extra cash!  I love to clean and organize so this task is really fun for me :)  I'm getting rid of so much this time.  If it's too big now, it's gone.  If I haven't worn it in a year, gone.  I'm over a closet full of clothes when I wear less than 20% of them.  So excited to completely purge my closet and then add some new stuff once I reach my goal weight :)! 

5. Find a way to give back

Jared and I are so blessed and have decided that we need to start giving back in some way.  I am looking into different options in our community of something we can do together to help others!  If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to share! 

6. Fine tune daily schedule

I'm working hard to find a daily schedule that works to make it all happen!  I've found that if I plan out my day it goes a lot more smoothly so I'm working to plan out my days realistically and keep focused on my goals.

7. Enjoy the beginning of...FALL!!

I love summer. But bring on the pumpkins!!! I'm so excited for fall :)  I've said it before but after how hectic last fall & winter were with new house, wedding, new job, and more, I'm so excited to really embrace my two favorite seasons this year and make them extra special!
