My Next Goal, Meal Prep and An AWESOME Shoe Organizer

You have got to check out my newest toy!  It’s a shoe wheel to keep my shoes organized!  Gosh I’m obviously getting old when I get THIS excited about a shoe organizer. Yikes!

I got the organizer HERE because my closet had recently turned into a big sloppy mess of shoes.  I am a fitness shoe fanatic so I like to take care of them.  When they are piled at the bottom of my closet, I know they aren’t being stored properly and I forget about some of them if I can’t see them.  The shoe wheel keeps them organized and protected.

You can fit 20 pairs inside the wheel which can all be seen easily because the sides are clear.  Then you just spin the wheel and pull out the pair you want!

Totally obsessed!

It takes up a little more room in my closet than I thought it would but it does fit and it allows me to look at all my pretty shoes at once! 🙂

On Saturday we ran the Color Me Rad 5k which was a BLAST.  I’ll do a full post about that race soon. (Here’s the post)

Today we worked a little on the “man barn”….or should I say Ryan did work and I just watched 🙂

He worked while I did laundry and did some meal prep for the week.  I made a HUGE stack of protein pancakes.  Now THAT’S a STACK!!!

Here is the recipe I followed.  They turned out perfect and I can’t wait to eat them for meal 1 every day this week!  Since I made so many, I divide them up into individual bags of 4 and put them in the freezer.  Life is so so much easier when I meal prep! Every night I’ll move one little bag to the fridge so it can start thawing for the the next morning’s breakfast.  Sometimes I warm them up and put 1 tbs of natural peanut butter on them, but sometimes I just eat them plain.

Today we also booked our next vacation!!!!!!

We are going to Cancun for my birthday in November!!!!  I’m so excited and now I have a goal date to work towards.  I’m the type of person who needs a goal in order to stay really strict and focused on my diet and workouts.  It helps me SO much knowing that I’ll be in a swimsuit in 65 days.  That’s why I like to set a lot of goals for myself throughout the year so I can stay focused.

Now I gotta go and watch some more football…I’m actually in FIRST PLACE in my fantasy league this week so I gotta go cheer on my teams!

This will be my first time to Cancun, Mexico.  Have you ever been there?  If so, what did you think?  Leave a comment below!

  1. Wow that shoe organizer looks cool! I’ve never seen one quite like that before. The protein cakes just make me hungry though 🙂 Thanks for sharing a great post!

  2. I went to Cancun last December with my boyfriend and we LOVED it! One of my favourite days was when we took the ferry to Isla de Mujeres. The island is awesome and has a beautiful beach and beach bars and everyone just rents golf karts and tours the island, it was a blast!
