Week 2 is complete. The weekends are the most challenging time. Octoberfest, the beautiful weather and people calling to invite is to sit on a patio drinking margaritas. Recap of week 2 of the Ultimate Reset Watching the scale go down is pretty fun. Sure there were some days where the scale stayed the same or went up a 1/2 pound but that is okay.

Tips on Healthy Eating

May 30th 2015
Tips on eating healthy. 1) Eat whole foods: Eat a banana over a bag of chips. No one ever ate 2 or 3 bananas in a row. How many times have you eaten a bag of chips or a bucket of popcorn? Focus on whole foods. 2) Avoid processed foods: Your body rarely will receive the nutrients it needs from a processed food. How many times have you returned to the pantry after eating a bag of chips to look for something else? Focus on foods with fewer chemicals, dyes, and ingredients. You will feel better.

Cauliflower Pizza Crust

October 8th 2014
Low carb, low calorie, low Weight Watcher points, gluten free, and pretty dang awesome if you ask me. I love pizza. Who doesn't? Over the years I've cut pizza from my weekly meal plan. We used to order it every week. Easy to pick up the phone and call it in right? I've searched for healthy crusts or health pizzas and most of the time they do not exist. How can dough be healthy? I tried cauliflower "mashed potatoes" and other versions of using cauliflower instead of rice or potatoes so why Continue Reading >

Found it at Walgreens for $14.99 and it did what It said it would do. Pretty cool. Now I'm going to actually cook it and put sauce on it and see how awesome it is. Continue Reading >

Which one is better? The 21 Day Fix or Weight Watchers?

May 10th 2014
21 Day Fix vs. Weight Watchers? How do you know what program will work for you? Why do I have any expertise on this topic? Why on earth listen to me? You don’t have to listen to me but you will have a better understanding of the differences and similarities of the programs. I’ve been a Weight Watcher member for years. Off and on for years. The last time I signed up again was in April 2009 right before my 20 year high school reunion. I’ve been through many programs they offer and they Continue Reading >
