New Beginnings





         Yesterday I started on my journey to a healthier me, it was truly hard.  I ended up eating chips later on in the day but I am not going to fault myself for any missteps.  Today I did so much better.  I worked out by walking 30 minutes and utilized my place and ran up and doewn the stairs 10 times.  As long as I push through and try everyday I have nothing to feel guilty for.  This journey is not something I plan on taking lightly and everyday I will push myself and hold "me" accountable.

Flourless Chocolate Chip Cookies

I was craving something sweet but not with too many grams of sugar so I went hunting for a easy and healthier recipe and trusty old Pinterest came through.  I found a couple of recipes but this one was easy and most of the ingredients were already in my pantry.  It was Ambitious Kitchen , a peanut oatmeal chocolate chip cookie with no flour or butter.  I of course tweaked it to my liking.  Below is my version but you can click the link above for Monique's version.  Keep scrolling for my take on the recipe. Preheat oven to 350 degrees,  mix together 2/3 cup oats, half teaspoon salt, 1 tbsp PB2 and 1 tsp baking soda and set aside.  In a separate bowl beat 2/3 cup peanut butter, 1/2 cup raw sugar, 2 large eggs and 1 tsp vanilla with electric mixer until smooth. Mix in dry ingredients with plastic spatula, then gently fold in 1/2 cup jumbo dark chocolate chips.  Roll cookies into 2 inch dough balls and place onto cookie sh...

30 Day Reset

                                            Lately I have let life situations get me off track, I wasn’t eating right and gained back all the weight I worked so hard at losing last year. I would try on clothes and they would fit but I didn’t feel comfortable even in clothing as simple as graphic tees which are like my everyday uniforms.  Then I decided to work out again and take before pictures and got the shock of my life.  Those pictures were a slap in the face and proved why I was miserable all the time that is when I finally decided to do something about it for good.  So on October 30th I decided to try something new, working out 3 times a week just to get my body accustomed to it and trying pescatarianism for 30 days.  This is the 3rd week and I feel great.  The first couple of days I lost 4 inches and 6 pounds and so far I am down 16 pounds...
