I love these little “e card” dealy things. I laughed and laughed when I saw this one! Too funny. LOL! However, I really do believe we ultimately are what we eat! Sad, but true. Our bodies are constantly making new cells….and those cells are made from the things we put into our bodies! Sooooo, do you want Twinkie and donut cells or cells made from fruits, vegetables and other “real” foods?? What we choose to put into our mouths definitely has the biggest influence on weight-loss and just overall health in general. I’ve told you before I’ve not always been Continue Reading…
…With a Side of Chicken
I have to laugh at some of the food combinations I’ve been coming up with lately! It all started last week when I realized I had a TON of food in my freezer that needed to be used. BTW, I LOVE to purposely make extra of almost everything I make so I can FREEZE the leftovers! It really, really makes it so much easier to eat well. My favorite things to freeze are soup, protein pancakes, protein bars, protein balls, chicken and MORE chicken! Anyway, this past week I’ve been on a mission to clean out the freezer! So, here Continue Reading…
Happy Anniversary + I Really Need a Kick in the Pants
First off, today is our 16th anniversary!! HOLY COW, time flies. I still feel like I’m 16 years old, so I’m not quite sure how we’ve been married 16 years! Kev literally robbed the cradle, I guess. 😉 For your amusement, I thought I would post a few pics (FYI, I paid for the copyright)… Here’s one of our engagement pics, And here’s one from our wedding day, Sadly, I don’t love our wedding pics. The photographer did a great job, but I’m just not diggin’ my dress, hair or poofy baby face. Oh well, I’m still fiercely in love Continue Reading…
3 Months With (Almost) No Treats!
Well, my little 12 week healthy challenge ended yesterday!!! Woo hoo. It was seriously SO SO good for me! I must say at times it was crazy hard, but for the most part it wasn’t too bad. Just to recap….I participated in a fun 12 week health challenge. I paid $20 to join and then chose a personal goal to work on the entire time. Now that the challenge is over, the $$ will be divided among those who reached their goals. There were about 150 people involved in this challenge, so I’m curious how it will play out. I’ll Continue Reading…
I’m Hungry Today!
Well today’s been a great day, but I have been so hungry ALL DAY LONG! In fact, I woke up starving. Augghh. Not good. I think I’m hormonal or something. Joy. I’ve still been eating well, but I’ve been snackin’ a ton! 🙂 I was craving cereal for breakfast, so this is what I came up with… I usually just eat Kashi Go Lean (not Crunch) because the Crunch kind has a lot more sugar (12 grams!), but it tasted so good today. It’s still a lot healthier than most cereals because it’s high in protein and fiber and full Continue Reading…
Same Old, Same Old Healthy Stuff!
Well, I’ve been eating really well since we came home from our vacation. Yay. I can’t tell you how much better healthy food makes me feel! I’m always amazed. When I eat junk food for a few days+, I can noticeably tell a difference. I feel sluggish and tired AND I look fatter! I really do. My body seems to bloat up when I eat too much sugar. Sad, but true. On the flip side, when I start eating healthy again (after eating junk for a few days), I feel happier and more energetic AND the water weight comes off Continue Reading…
