Beachbody Is a Pyramid Scheme!

The worst thing I ever see people say about Beachbody is, Watch out! It’s a pyramid scheme! I thought the same thing to be honest. When my coach approached me, one of the first things I asked her about were the rumors it was a pyramid scheme. Before I explain in great detail why this is bullshit, let’s look at […]

80 Day Obsession Week 3 Sample Meal Plan

Week 2 was a bit of a struggle mentally and physically. I didn’t prep in advance like I did the first week, and I paid for it. Meals were more stressful and spread out longer which made them not as satisfying. I created my meal plan for week 3 to get me back on track, time-wise. Nutritionally, I’ve stuck to […]

80 Day Obsession Week 1 Recap

Today was Day 6 of 80 Day Obsession, and I am ready to foam roll and reflect on how everything has changed in such a short amount of time.  I’ve made it six days without using an excuse to not workout. I came up with plenty. I pressed pause several times. But I never stopped, and I never gave up. […]

Chicken and Asian Salad

Chicken is my go-to meat. It’s easy to make, goes with nearly everything, and the kids love it. It’s a simple addition to meal planning because you make a huge batch on Sunday then portion it out for several meals with a variety of sides.  For this meal, I wanted something fun with a little crunch. Ginger and jalapeños are […]

Stuffed Pepper Soup

Weather-related cravings don’t care about a life-changing meal plan you’re trying to follow. When it’s cold, the body wants soup. I was excited when I stumbled upon the Stuffed Pepper Soup recipe on Skinny Taste, but it used chicken broth. That isn’t an approved food for 80 Day Obsession. Instead of weeping over the atrocity, I got creative. Vegetable broth […]

Chicken Stir Fry

Chicken Stir Fry is one of my family’s favorite meals. I was struggling with how I could incorporate it into my meal plan for the next 80 Days.
