Being raw & REAL.

The holidays came and they left... of course like ANY other human out there we like to enjoy ourselves, maybe have 1 to many servings of the famous family traditional recipes.. Cookies?! Pie!? Yes its all there... We indulged & loved every second. 

Well now that its over its TIME to get back to it.... So Monday I spent a lot of my time in the kitchen, cleaning out the cabinets -getting rid of any junk in it that didn't need to be there. 

So I wrote out a list & got to the store. The IMPORTANT thing to do is to PLAN. Have your meals from Breakast-Dinner planned. This way you aren't overspending or wasting time on things you won't eat. I cut up veggies, only bought apples & frozen berries. 
Gah, I had ALL of Aldis TO MYSELF. It was so amazing.


So back home I go & the cooking begins... I put the oven on, throw some sweet potatoes in and get water boiling for hard boiled eggs & brown rice. Get my baggies, scale & olive oil spray out---- OH and  OF COURSE can't forget Spark ! I love the portioned baggies! They are fantastic- just small enough for nuts! They were on sale for $1 at target so I couldn't resist.


I put Turkey Meatloaf into the oven, cut up some veggies while everything is cooking and start weighing out my 'snacks' - I HAVE to weigh things. Over eating is a HUGE issue in this house. Its important to weigh out things. We do better when its portioned for us. 


So after about 1.5 hours ( 2 because I stop to dance a few times ;) ) Everything is ready to be put away! 
So I made Egg Muffins- Egg whites, 3 Whole Eggs, Sweet Potatoes, Onions, Turkey bacon, Spinach- Scramble up the eggs- Sauté the onions, spinach & sweet potatoes- Add into a muffin pan with turkey bacon and pour the eggs over- Bake a 375 for 20 minutes.
Brown Rice
Avocado Chicken Salad- 1 Avocado, Grilled chicken or shredded- Mix the avocado up with s&p & lime juice- add to chicken!  ITS GOOD!
Asparagus & Broccoli ( i broil them with Mrs Dash Garlic seasoning
Nuts, Hard boiled eggs, Veggies... and that about wraps it up for the week! Usually I do this every 3-4 days. ( I'm not a BIG leftover fan LOL but i force myself because i know its EASIER! )

Of course last BUT NOT Least I prepped our things for the 24 Day ALL IN 2016 Challenge - 128,000 people are starting on Monday the 11th, but Jeff & I couldn't wait! Got our head start and started today! So I prepped the days... during the first half of the challenge its the "cleanse phase" - but a healthy, non living in the bathroom kind of cleanse! ;) This is our 7th one! We love it!

Everyone always asks what a typical day in the world of the challenge looks like-- so I decided I will be trying to document as much as it as I can. Here is a breakdown of today. Not starving & already feel better again! So all & all it was a good day! 
Breakfast- Fiber & Probiotic, Spark & a Shake.
Snack-Veggies & Nuts
Lunch-Chicken salad on whole grain toast with tomatoes & banana peppers
Snack ( not pictured) - Hard boiled egg
Dinner-Tilapia, Brown rice & asparagus/broc

GOALS are WRITTEN & IM/WE ARE READY!

Adulting is HARD.

Lets be honest. LIFE is NOT easy. LOTS of choices to be made, and when you are a parent the choices you make no longer just effect you-they effect your children so life gets even harder.  I spend A GOOD amount a time a week self reflecting on how far I've come and where I want to go--we go through moments in our lives of "what IF" . I tell ya, I'm SO thankful that Advocare has come into my life. I think it has helped me grow as a person, a leader, financially and health wise. Ill take you back to my early 20s. I was a lost person, mentally. I didn't know where I belonged in life. I knew a few things-- I LOVED people, I LOVED helping people, I LOVED photography, but in those early years in our lives we are told "GO TO COLLEGE , GET A DEGREE, get a JOB and thats it" but I always thought of myself as 'DIFFERENT' I never wanted to just go behind a desk and work. I get BORED very easily and like to different things. Teaching, Psycholo

weekends are for...

Weekends aren't the same for me as they are for others. I am only off every other weekend and those weekends "off" are spent doing my other "jobs" such as photography stuff or things for my challenges that I host... but I LOVE it. This weekend I had a surprise visitor! She literally texted me Saturday night and said "should I come tomorrow afternoon?" UM yes, I will never say NO to a visitor especially this one. <3 You only have so many people in this world that understand you and get you 100%. Luckily I have a few of those in my life including Brittany. We have been best friends since 10th grade and I wouldn't have it any other way. She is my {{person}} <3   Saturday started out "crappy" literally, had a toilet overflow that turned into a pool in our bathroom then a ceiling that was leaking. What a mess and not how I wanted to spend the first half of the day...... I spent the rest of the day meal planning for my upcomi

2017..THE year for flashfitgirl

Image
2017.... I've heard the saying  2015 was practice... 2016 was the warm up.... 2017...its GAME time. But what does it all mean? How many times have you thought THIS IS MY YEAR? Then you get to March and you haven't finished that book you said you would, you skipped your work out 7 days  now, laundry days have turned back to every day, your brand new planner is a mess, the kids are driving you mad, and you're letting little things eat you up?! YUP. Its happened to me... and I can guarantee if you're reading this, its happened to you too! We are 25 days until a brand new year and guess what if you feel like you've already failed- YOU ARE WRONG! If you haven't done anything you've said you were going to, time to get on it, if its MORE time you need- then its time to find it. But then you run into those problems again-  how can you find the time if you don't have it. I wish I had all the answers. BUT what I can do is share what has worked for me f
