The Friday 5

Image
Hi, friends! Happy Friday and Labor Day weekend to you! And just like that the summer is over. I’m truly sad to the core because summer is my favorite season of the year, BUT I’m excited to get back into a routine again. I always thought I was someone who enjoyed not having a schedule, but I actually kind of like the routine of the school year. Anyone else? I know Mal is more than ready to get back to a routine. He’s SUCH a creature of habit and thrives on a schedule. I make fun of him because he’s literally eaten the exact same breakfast (eggs with toast, a Greek yogurt, and iced coffee) before school for 13 years now, but it works for him! 🙂 And, of course, we’re excited for Quinn to start Kindergarten next week. I can’t believe our sweet boy is already off to school! Oh, my Mumma heart… I also wanted to tell you guys about an awesome local event called the Ride for Kids , which benefits Rodman for Kids , an umbrella  charity raising funds for youth-focused social-service organ

How To Gain Weight I was talking with a friend about weight change the other day. We were actually discussing ways to gain weight. When you need to gain weight, you can add some extra snacks, but you can only eat so much volume. Your stomach can’t expand beyond a certain point, and you certainly don’t want to walk around uncomfortably stuffed all the time. So what do you do? You increase the energy (a.k.a. calorie) density of your foods. You eat more trail mix or nut butters or smoothies packed with foods higher in calories and lower in water.

If the weight gain plan seems so simple, why does the weight loss plan seem so much more complicated? Just like our stomachs can only get so big, they also can’t go empty.
