Workout Must Haves Including My New Fitbit Blaze

I’ve really been off my exercise game for a couple of months and it is always the hardest thing to do to get back on track. I love to walk, but with Georgia’s summer heat, I really can’t image myself outside. I’m hoping to will find the motivation with my latest gadget courtesy of hubby...

Meal Prepping For Weight Loss

There was a time when I could find the strength and the motivation to meal prep to assist me in my weight loss journey. But it seems like these days, I can’t seem to wrap my mind around the idea. It usually takes me all day, preferably a Sunday, but I’m exhausted by the...

Well You Know…

Ola peeps! I’m still on the wagon- for the most part. I saw for the most part because I had a few blogger events and there is always food. So, I do my best and I am trying not to be to hard on myself. I am hoping to create a healthy lifestyle for myself...

Get Healthy| 30 Day Challenge

I don’t know about you guys, but I have really been slacking. It has been the hardest thing for me to get focused on my healthy lifestyle. Of course I would love to blame my lack of focus on any and everything going on in my life, but I am going to take ownership, call...

#UnFatMyLife| Meal Prep

Little did my husband know that when he asked what we were going to eat for dinner- that he would end up meal prepping for me. That’s right. When hubby asked, I suggested he cook the steaks I bought during my grocery haul on Saturday. His wheels started turning and he decided to...

Food|#MeatlessMonday: Spiral Zucchini Spaghetti

Hey guys! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Mine was pretty low key, but I tried to get in a few recipes to try since I’ve been meatless for about a week. It was basically just an experiment to see if I could go five days without it and I did. Only about twice...

Looking beyond the scale

Feeling committed to weight loss I can get carried away. It is very easy to focus on the ounces and pounds on the scale and forget about the other indicators like- inches, clothes fitting differently and physical appearance which are just as important while improving our health. The other day, my husband said to me,...

Outdoors: Stone Mountain Park

Lately, I’ve taken to Stone Mountain as my place of exercise. It was my home a few years ago, but somehow we lost contact with each other. Recently, I purchased a pass and I’ve been walking at the park a few days a week. I enjoy being outside to walk, because it kinda gives you...

#UnFatMyLife: 2 Months Progress

Good morning everyone! I hope your last couple of weeks have been better than mine have- health wise.
