Hey guys! Well, it’s official. The braces are on!! I have to go back in 10 days to get the bottom wire put in because I still have some teeth that need to be pulled.. Um, not really looking forward to that part, but I am really excited to have this part done! 
When I got home this afternoon I wanted to try a new cookie recipe…
Who knew that all of these (bad) ingredients would make such a great cookie!!
I found the recipe at My Baking Addiction… I heart baking blogs so much… 
A couple of things about this recipe… It makes a ton! Aaand, it has that crispy edge and chewy center. So good!
Well, I am off… This is the workout that I am planning on doing in a few… See, I have it down to a science now. With the two hour difference between Kevin and I, I have been trying to do my workouts while he is also working out. Part of the reason is that while he is working out and doing his own thing, I am waiting patiently by the phone for his sweet voice. So, doing this keeps me busy. I am a big dork I know!
Workout:
I found this workout at Get Fit Naturally She has the best workouts there!! Go check ‘em out!
I hope you guys are having a super day!
Hello! My name is Brandi and this is a blog about my journey in fitness, my faith, and life. I love learning new ways to make healthier choices and I love sharing those ideas with others.

Bad stuff always goes into the best cookies
Enjoy a few for me!!
You are right there! With the braces, it was a no go!
Thank you for sharing my workout and blog, i’m humbled because i love your website!
You’re quite welcome girl! And thank you!!
Hope the braces are treating you well! You’re totally making my sweet tooth grow crazily right now!
They are a bit sore, but so far so good!
yay about the braces!
and the cookies hehe 
Yeah, not a good mixture!
I hope all goes well with your braces!! Take some ibuprofen for the pain.. and stay away from gum and anything sticky. (the dental hygienist is coming out in me…)
Lol! Yes ma’am! Thanks Brittany! So far so good….I am excited to get this part started…
So glad you have your braces part on! I hope the teeth coming out isn’t too bad – I had to have the same thing before I got braces in my teens. I hope your teeth aren’t too sore, either from the braces or with the extractions!
Thanks Kari! It’s not too bad, but the day after was probably the worst.
I’m looking forward to seeing them change.
