I am so thankful to have been blessed with two wonderful loving healthy children. I have also been blessed with a wonderful loving and healthy mother!
I never knew just how much I was loved by my mom until I became a mother myself! Being a mother is the best and most important job in the world. It is also the hardest and most rewarding thing I have ever done.
I appreciate all that my mom has done for me throughout my life. Happy Mother’s Day, I love you, Mom!
Happy Mother’s day to all you moms and if you are not a mom make sure you call your mother to tell her that you love and appreciate her!

I don’t really talk much about my family and personal life here on LookingJoliGood, but in the next few days, I am about to celebrate my 14th wedding anniversary…
Way back then I thought I loved him with all my heart… I had no idea what it really meant to truly love someone.
Love isn’t just a feeling, it is action. It is a daily commitment to choose to put someone else before yourself.
Over the last almost 14 years, I have not always made loving me easy. Life it hard, marriage can be tough. I can be a bit overdramatic at times. Through the years, he has always been the one steady anchor in my life.
He still makes my heart skip a beat just by walking into the room. He is not only handsome, but he is strong and dependable. I never have to worry about whether or not I am going to be taken care of. I love him more every day!
He is the yin to my yang, the calm to my CrAzY. Like cheese and wine, he only gets better with age and I look forward to spending the rest of my life with him.
For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, now and forever!
Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken. Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

Psalm 18:2
The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

~Dith The Diet~
I follow a model of eating called 80/20 which means 80% of what I eat is clean/healthy foods and 20% is “splurge” foods. We can get more into the details of 80/20 in a future post.
I also follow intuitive eating. This basically means if I am hungry I eat until I am satisfied and if I am not hungry, I don’t eat. Sounds simple right? Some days are easier than others especially if there’s leftover Easter candy laying around…
Here is what I ate yesterday:
Chobani Strawberry Greek Yogurt -120 cal (serving size one container 120 cal)
1/4 cup Trader Joes Pecan Praline Granola 105 cal (serving size 1/2 cup 210 cal)
1/2 Banana 45 cal (serving size 1/2 large banana 45 cal)
3 large strawberries- 45 cal (serving size one cup 55 cal)
1 Tbs Super Seed Ancient Grain Blend 60 cal ( serving size 2 Tbs 120 cal)
Usually, around mid-morning, I would also have a post-workout snack that consists of about 250 or so calories. I didn’t workout yesterday, so I wasn’t hungry and didn’t need the mid-morning snack.
If I were to have a snack it would most likely be either a medium sized apple and 1.5 Tbs of peanut butter or two pieces of low-fat mozzarella string cheese.
Solid White Tuna 2 oz 60 cal (serving size 2 oz 60 cal)
Old Fashion Hearth Whole Wheat English Muffin 130 cal ( serving size one muffin 130 cal)
1/4 Avocado 60 cal (serving size 1/2 avocado 120 cal)
2 oz Sabra Hummus 150 cal ( serving size 2 oz/ 1/4 cup 150 cal)
Baby Romain Lettuce Celery Carrots <5cal
Cucumber
Halo Top Lemon Cake Ice Cream 60 cal (serving size 1/2 cup 60 cal)
Ground turkey (3 oz 130 cal) black beans (2 oz. 60 cal) chili – 250 cal total
1 Tbs Chobani fat free plain greek yogurt- 25 cal (serving size 1 cup- 120 cal)
2 Tbs Reduced Fat Cheddar Cheese -25 cal (serving 1/4 cup- 85 cal)
7 chips Trader Joes Veggie and Flaxseed Tortilla Chips- serving size 7 chips 130 cal
Evening Snack 35 calCarrots- 15 cal

While a picture is worth a thousand words, isn’t it so much more exciting to be able to see something in real life! I love to travel and I love to go to new places and try new foods. If I could travel all the time I would!
What about you? Do you like to travel? Where is the most exciting place you have ever been?

The best way to get something done is to begin! Although, often beginning is the hardest part of getting things done!

Because He Lives (Gaithers)
God sent His son, they called Him, Jesus;
He came to love, heal and forgive;
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives!
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone,
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!
How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
And feel the pride and joy he brings;
But greater still the calm assurance:
This child can face uncertain days because He Lives!
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!
And then one day, I’ll cross the river,
I’ll fight life’s final war with pain;
And then, as death gives way to victory,
I’ll see the lights of glory and I’ll know He lives!
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!
