That's my girl

Me: You need to make sure you eat your breakfast, it's the most important meal of the day.

Tesslynn: No it's not! Basgehetti (spaghetti) with elk meat is the most important meal because I love it.

Who says you need a taco shell to have Yummy Tacos

On Thursday I decided to make tacos for the family but instead of having a hard shell or a tortilla, I made mine with a massive piece of crispy, delicious lettuce. I really wanted to go back for seconds because it was so amazing but I let my food settle a bit and that filled me right up.

Oh and did I mention that the meat was pure elk burger mixed with bacon? While browning the burger, there was not one bit of grease that needed to be drained out!

This whole dinner consisted of 206 calories. :)

Salmon for Dinner

A great healthy dinner after a workout = Amazing!! Tonight's dinner: Salmon, one of which is Triple Citrus Glazed and the other is a Sweet & Salty rub - both homemade. Then some grilled asparagus and whole wheat pasta.

Day One

Ilan can whip up what is really a simple, easy dinner and make it look like a Masterpiece. Dinner last night was so amazing. Spinach mix, black beans, corn, chicken strips coated lightly with BBQ sauce, a little bit of shredded cheese, and bell peppers. Mmm, Mmm, Mmm!

Time to be a Fit Momma!

When it comes to working out and eating right, I never have any motivation or desire and unfortunately my weight wasn't something I ever had to worry about. Growing up I had such a fast metabolism and I could eat anything and everything. That is no longer the case.

After being at the lake this weekend, I realized I needed to make a change. Seeing the pictures of me in a bikini was not as hot at I thought. I consumed more beer than should be allowed and ate everything in sight. 

Monday morning after my week long vacation I came in to work and weighed myself. Holy shit I gained more weight than what I was when I was pregnant. This is not ok!! Even trying on my jeans I feel like one of those biscuit rolls. Ya know, the ones you peel and it pops? Yep, that's me. 

I decided to blog about my progress for extra motivation. I feel like if I am going to let the cyber world know where I am at weight wise, it'll be inspiring and encouraging to keep going. I will be posting pictures of my delicious or not so delicious meals. Before and after pictures as well as anything else that'll keep me going. 

I am actually really excited to start blogging again so stay tuned. :)
