Big Barrel Souvenir

This past weekend I experienced my first music festival, Big Barrel in Dover, Delaware. We were able to see Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood, Lynrd Skynrd and many others. It was a super fun and a much needed get-away. Get-Away was the key word!! I got away from all of my healthy eating habits too!!

If following the 21 Day Fix eating plan, it would have been a weekend full of cheats and yellows. I had loaded baked potato, pulled pork sandwiches, fries and Olive Garden Pasta. I'm coming clean! I don't feel guilty because it doesn't happen all the time, but I don't feel GOOD! My body is mad at me and I can feel it. I stepped on the scale this morning and saw a 5lb weight gain!!! Ahhhh!! Five pounds of bloat and crap in just three days! Not exactly the souvenir I was hoping for...
So, now what do I do??? I hop right back on my routine. I'm beginning the 21 Day Fix Extreme today along with my running. I will be factoring my runs into my portion intake with my main goal being to eat well and feeling good! And I certainly won't be complaining if I lose some LBs in the process lol!

For those of you that may not know, the 21 Day Fix Extreme is a fitness and eating program that combines to bring you maximum results. Both the regular and extreme 21 Day Fix programs come with color coded containers and you have an allowance of each color each day. For instance, the green container is for vegetables; and, for me, I need to eat 4 servings of veggies every day.
The one thing that you will find on this program is that you will never be hungry! You will be eating a lot of food! But it's the type of food that you're eating that will bring you the results you want.
I'll keep ya'll updated on my journey through this round of the fix extreme; I can't wait to share!

She Ate What??

Paleo, clean eating, raw vegan, grass-fed, no hormones, etc. : We all see the up and coming new philosophies of eating healthy and along with that, you'll see some pretty crazy combinations too. Today was perusing Pinterest (the death trap of the mind and time), I saw "Chia Pudding?!" What?? I haven't had pudding in FOREVER and now it's a "healthy" thing?! I remembered my boss had mentioned something to me about it a few weeks ago, so I figured I'd check out the recipe and see just how crazy it was. Well call ME CRAZY because I had all of the ingredients on hand. I mixed it up and a couple hours later, I tried it. It was REALLY GOOD! It will definitely be added to my clean treats!! Here's the recipe:: Chocolate Peanut Butter Chia Pudding 3/4 cup Almond/Coconut milk (you can use your milk of choice here) 3-4 tbsp of chia seeds (I recommend 3 until you decide that you want it thicker) 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 tbsp PB2 (if using natural nut butter...

Happy 3rd Blog-aversary!!

It's been three (3) years to the day since I began blogging. I've taken a LONG break lately as I have had many transitions in my life. But in the past few weeks, I've been considering sharing more about the next stage of this journey called life with you all. In three short years, I have gone from motivating others to experiencing weight gain and depression. Being delivered from said depression and fighting to lose the weight. I'd say sometimes in life, motivation shows up in the difficult times and then sometimes it's no where to be found-- a bit of a roller coaster really. And about a year ago, I was tired. Tired of not getting enough sleep, tired of the structure and I needed a break. This break cost me about 20 lbs and goodness has it been tough to get my mind right again. But I'm experiencing life!! Enjoying the moment! And making memories with my family and friends that have been so good for my soul. And in this season, ...

Monday MOMENTUM:: Where should you start??

One of the biggest questions that people have when wanting to get healthy, loose weight or change their lifestyle is normally:: where do I start?? Some like to go cold turkey with a lifestyle change. And sometimes people can keep this up while others will fall back into the same old habits with little chance of recovering. One thing that I have tried to stick with this year that has been different than my weightloss journey in the past is making small changes. Small changes will add up and before you know it, your lifestyle will be rapidly changing. This year, it was when I really felt GOOD inside, that I wanted to consistently change my lifestyle. In the beginning, it really is like a detox!! Think about how much processed food(like) junk you are consuming!!! You wouldn't put maple syrup in a car and expect it to work like gasoline?!!! It's the same thing with our bodies. They weren't/aren't made to be given tons of chemicals that look like food....
