Let’s talk about these jeans. They’ve been in storage for close to three years. I packed them up with all my fun, skinny clothes when I got pregnant with my now two year-old. Seventy pounds and two babies later and I thought I’d never squeeze my ass into them. I tried last month. Between running and working out sporadically, I’d […]
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 […]
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 […]
Not all recipes require a long explanation. If you’re looking for a few quick, no-nonsense recipes to get through the day, look no further. As always, you can put your own spin on these or make them as they are. I’ll list the portion container equivalents in case you’re participating in 21 Day Fix or 80 Day Obsession. If you’re […]
Adapting recipes that are approved for 21 Day Fix has been my saving grace. I’m all about being creative and creating beautiful meals. I’m also about worker smarter not harder. When you have four hungry boys to feed, you take the easy route when you can. The Beachbody blog lists the portion container equivalents of their Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos […]
My meal plan is always fluctuating, but I like having a general idea of what to expect. This is my sample meal plan for week 2 of 80 Day Obsession. I’m following plan B, but these can easily be altered to accommodate any of the plans. The days I eat each meal will likely change. One of the dinner options […]
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 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 […]
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 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. We love our veggies, but we also like to slather them in the most unhealthy of sauces imaginable. It’s called balance. We’d recently stocked up at the Asian Market, so I was […]
