To be on top of my eating carb-free and sugar-free eating, I know I can’t rely on my whimsical eating patterns. Can I pause for a second and express that making all this food in advance may appear cool and put-together but kind of sucks? I am used to being fast and easy with my … Continue reading
This week was busy, so getting the miles in was tough. I might have used the grocery store for some of it, and walked around it a few times. I got to CrossFit 2 times and did fun things like rowing, pull-ups, kettlebell swings, thrusters and burpees. I notice that my energy is coming back, … Continue reading
Yup, I am doing it again. I made the decision on the very last day to sign p at 11:50pm. Nothing like time running out and feeling tired of not moving my ass to make me sign up for something I thought I wouldn’t do again. This is going to be walking with the hope … Continue reading
So I reactivated my online food diary at My Fitness Pal {I cannot believe I remember the password! Go brain!!} and logged my food today. Go me!! Today the cabinets were cleaned out, so there was nothing to eat but real food. I also made a turkey shepherds pie, which is more than I normally … Continue reading

The results are in!! I have to say I was skeptical on whether I would see the same results from this as I did the first time, and although they are slightly lower, it’s splitting hairs, and the good news is that I am losing inches in areas that are a health concern for me, so … Continue reading
I didn’t weigh myself before starting this so my results are inches based. Either way, I had some great results! I lost a total of 10 inches! Mostly in my waist and hips, which is an area I struggle at getting down. I am also happy that my thighs went down so much, maybe those … Continue reading
This week has been pretty good, I had a busy weekend, so I didn’t have as much time to prep lots of food. It worked out though, I had leftover spaghetti squash, cauli-rice and chicken. I made do and had some delicious meals. I cooked some sausage up on Sunday and stored it to put … Continue reading
This whole no sugar thing has been pretty great. But shhhhh, you didn’t hear me say that. I made these coconut “dream cups”, which is coconut butter as a base and dark chocolate (100%) mixed with honey and cocoa in the middle and coconut butter on top. It’s like a peanut butter cup but in … Continue reading
