Eating for Taste
Good afternoon! I’m currently enjoying a very hot (in temperature and spice) bowl of soup. I made this soup on Monday and it’s filled with vegetables, including mushrooms and onions. I don’ t actually like mushrooms so I’m kind of forcing myself to eat the little critters. Mushrooms weird me out. They always have but […]
Mindfulness
I’ve been playing around with my morning routine this week and I’m pretty happy with it so far. I used to have to eat something right when I got up in the morning but I’ve found that I’m not actually hungry but rather eating out of habit and to wake myself up. This week however, I’ve skipped […]
Don’t make your workouts a choice
After a few days away from fitness, I had to motivate myself to squeeze in a workout yesterday evening. I often find myself complaining about having to workout and can be easily convinced to skip intense cardio or an extra set of weights. Since I knew my body was well rested, I should have been […]
Cleanse Recap
I made it through my cleanse yesterday. Let’s just say I’m very excited it’s over. It wasn’t terrible but towards the end of the day, I was definitely craving dinner. I prepared my lunch and breakfast for the next morning and I was definitely ready to eat it all up. Throughout the day, I was […]
Cleanse the Day

I don’t think I’ve ever done a cleanse so I’m a little nervous about it. This morning, I was a little discouraged about missing breakfast […]

I celebrated with lots of other […]
Another Night, Another Brownie
I had a very relaxing evening last night. Here’s what I threw together for dinner: I added lots of spicy seasonings along with salsa, a sweet potato, and jalapenos. Then I heated up some refried beans to accompany the veggies. To top the mix, I used Chobani plain Greek yogurt (in place of sour cream) […]
Peanut Butter and Chia
I whipped up a quick salad for dinner last night with arugala. Since I was out of cheese and wanted something savory, I made a homemade dressing with Chobani plain Greek yogurt. I used a spoonfull of yogurt and a spoonfull of pesto then mixed in garlic salt, pepper, a little almond milk, and red […]
