He’s why I say no to so many things & why I am sometimes MIA.
I’m a mom first & foremost. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Chocolate Shakeology Mug Cake
This was STRAIGHT MONEY. I think it would’ve been even better with a little dark chocolate sauce or something!
Before you read the RECIPE, please read my disclaimer…
1. I know Shakeology nutrients are diminished when microwaved. All foods’ nutrients are diminished when microwaved.
2. I am not advocating daily consumption of mug cakes
3. I am not advocating microwaved foods as a regular part of your diet.
4. I don’t eat perfectly and need some CHOCOLATE or something like this once in awhile.
5. If you still find my food posts helpful (see Instagram #JenellesFastFitMeal ..singular not plural), please let me know
MUG CAKE RECIPE:
1/2 Cup Oat Flour
1/2 Scoop Chocolate Shakeology
1 Whole Egg or 3 Tbsp Liquid Egg Whites
2 T Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt
1 oz Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
1/2 Tsp Baking Powder
Sweetener of your choice!
Mix all together and pour in large microwave safe mug. Use a cooking spray, coconut spread or whatever you use for non-stick. Microwave for 60 seconds…then an additional 10 seconds if the center is still just mush. Don’t OVERCOOK
The “frosting/sauce” was “Just Great Stuff” (like PB2 but organic, found on Amazon.com) mixed w/water to make it drizzle. Add dark chocolate chips or whatever your desires!
Do More
DO MORE ALL DAY EVERYDAY
I mean…Stuff that MATTERS
Yes, things will get tough and out of balance when you’re REALLY focused on a goal… Expect it so you feel less stress.
Make 2014 Your Year
Rid yourself of negative thoughts & distance yourself from negative people (or people who just do NOT want what’s best for you). Life is too short to let anything hold you back.
Identify your top priorities & goals, Educate yourself, make a decision to commit, & learn to ENJOY overcoming the challenges it takes to succeed!!
Do it for you
You’re going to have your weak moments & off days, the key is to identify what caused it so you can avoid the situation/environment next time, but pick yourself up mentally to re-commit. You have to do it for YOU!

Taking it all in
This was Tyler a few yrs ago. Matt & I are going to have lunch with him at school today. How many more years will he think this is cool?
I’ll take it all in for now!
Rise above it
Every now & then I see that Azzy gets up on the chair at the kitchen table & I always know why. It’s to distance herself from her younger brother Tank who is being immature & annoying her.
When all else fails, sometimes you just have to rise above it or just distance yourself a bit to regain your mo-Jo!
Unexpected Christmas
It felt like an unexpected Christmas today!!

And yet, I wouldn’t be where I am without learning & support from them!
When your back is against the wall
What have you accomplished in your life that NO ONE thought you would?
Just realizing tonight there are so many people giving up because they feel defeated. But take a step back & look at the things you accomplished when your back was against the wall, all odds against you, but you overcame because you wanted it THAT BADLY.
Face ALL your challenges with that same determination & intensity. Remind yourself what you’re made of.
