People often ask me questions about what to eat, how much to eat, what not to eat, etc. in order to lose weight. Many people have also told me it is so much easier to lose weight when they have a specific diet plan to follow! Well, I am currently helping a friend of mine lose weight. I worked up a meal plan for her based on the foods she typically eats. As I was looking over the plan, I realized it is a very easy plan to follow! It’s based on normal, everyday food. Most diet books I’ve read Continue Reading…

Happy Thanksgiving weekend to you all! We’ve had a nice Thanksgiving break and a somewhat peaceful weekend. I love love love the holidays!

I’ve Decided My Healthy Cleanse is Over!
Happy Tuesday to you all! Tuesday’s are our craziest day of the week, so merely surviving is a plus. 😉 Well, I have officially ended my “healthy cleanse!” I started on October 8th and it was technically supposed to go for 8 weeks. However, I always considered it more of a 6 week thingy because healthy grains were added back in the last two weeks. At that point, it essentially became just a typical healthy diet. Anyway, I told y’all about the nasty flu bug that hit our family a couple weeks ago. Well, that pretty much did me in Continue Reading…

Coconut Chia Seed Protein Pancakes
I have a very yummy recipe to share with you today! The other day I was really craving protein pancakes. I was getting very tired of avoiding grains. 🙁 After feeling sorry for myself for a little while, I realized I could probably make protein pancakes with almond or coconut flour! 🙂 I searched all over the internet and found a bunch of recipes, however, I never found the perfect recipe. I wanted one that included a good amount of protein and one that didn’t include unnecessary calories. I also thought it would be fun to add chia seeds. So, Continue Reading…
