Tiny Tweeks

Good Morning Everyone! I was up until the wee hours this morning, trying to clean up my phone... um wow, that took FOREVER~😫😱😜 I had like 2000 pictures on my phone and 1300 (from my trip to Nova Scotia) we lost somewhere in limbo between my phone and icloud... which I have never even used before lol, I had to manually transfer them from my phone before I could clear them cause for some reason my computer wasn't picking them up either... SO needless to say it's done, and I'm glad that's over 😀 lol (Anyone who knew my mom well, lets just say - I could have almost pulled a Brenda 😂😂😂LOL) While temporarily escaping from my long, frustrating, interaction with icloud, I thought about how many times I, and my whole family sometimes, made tiny tweeks that made big impacts on our habits... I thought about how sometimes, getting the workout in is almost the easy part... and how I learnt to take step at a time... if you eat something you werent't planning on eating, ...

10 Day Plank Challenge

Image
Hello hello 😁 My first plank challenge experience, I fell in love with the idea of pushing through a 10 minute plank as soon as I heard it. (It was actually 18 minutes but 10 is a good start lol) I really struggle with planks and holding moves... to feel the burn is to put it mildly as I can't even put into words the flames I feel when attempting these moves sometimes... so it was perfect for me! I think I responded before actually even thinking it through LOL By day 3 I was asking myself what the heck I'd gotten myself into, HA! But shaking, sweating, tired or whatever... I also felt strong - I felt awesome when I finished actually! It's fun! I love the interaction betweeen everyone, it's nice to see 💕 So FIRST OF ALL - each day that everyone comes out, THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Without you this wouldn't even be a thing How does it work? THERE ARE 10 DAYS IN THE CHALLENGE EACH DAY IS ACCOMPANIED BY 1 MINUTE - DAY 1, 1...

Boston Chicken Wrap

Image
OH YUM - perfect for the warmer days, light, simple, delicious, and SO healthy Boston Lettuce is a staple in my house, it has replaced bread and buns for us, as I have a hard time digesting such foods, and my family has come to enjoy and even recommend it to other people (which I think is pretty cool to hear) This is a super quick meal that works for lunches or dinners and is flexible - prefer beef? Or maybe you just eat Veggie - whatever your fancy you can always make it work with a wrap and with the low calories theres no thinking twice - other than maybe you would like another one... I personally favor onions so I always try to squeeze them in there, however my daughter doesn't feel the same so sometimes we just have our basic chicken, feta and a little mustard on our boston lettuce Can't complain when the prep time is maybe 5 minutes - that kinda simplicity makes me smile

Chocolate peanut BETTER balls

Image
So this super easy recipe came to my head oneday when I was craving cookies - specifically, a recipe my mom used to make with us - many know them as "YUM YUM cookies" or "Haybales"... however, we don't even keep sugar in the house most of the time, and this was one of those times... so life goes on, right?.. RIGHT! so grab the mixing bowl and lets see what we can finango here.... ingredients my mom used - sugar, butter, coconut, oats, cocoa So in a bowl I mixed my dry ingredients (same as moms cookies) Oats unsweetened coconut one package of chocolate shakeology chopped peanuts Than I added Honey and Natural peanut butter little by little until I got the texture I desired **NOT RUNNY** just so that everything is moist and will stick together - be sure to mix thoroughly tho scoop out with a teaspoon and roll into bite size balls place on parchment paper and top with Natural Peanut Butter (I mix a little honey with my PB) Makes 1 1/2 - 2 dozen depending on size y...

Homemade Tomato Sauce

Image
This is one of those awsome recipes that you can tamper with and put your own spin on... which are typically my favourite kinds because they are so versatile... anything that doesn't limit me is my friend lol. First one was basic - just tomato, garlic, oregano, and extra virgin olive oil The second, there was a little more added, to use for a chili base, chicken sauce, pasta sauce, etc. Enjoy and be sure to let me know your thoughts
