The Ultimate Reset!

It's 7:30am and it is DAY ONE of the Ultimate Reset!

I am doing this for a few reasons...

I don't want to be a slave to food & emotional eating.

I want new healthy ideas for my family.

I want to feel the way my body was intended to feel.

I want to RESET and start FRESH!

I want to be at my OPTIMAL health for my husband and our future.

I want to be proud of myself for doing something tough ALL the way through!

I am doing this for me because I know that when I am taking the BEST care of myself, I am better able to love, serve and BE with others!

Start Your Journey To A Healthier YOU!

Of COURSE you don't need to be ripped or skinny in order to be happy. 

But... Speaking from personal experience, being unhappy with your body & uncomfortable in your own skin can start to affect more than just you and your closet. 

That discontent spills over into other parts of your life...

• Your confidence
• Your social life
• Maybe some of your relationships

....just to share a few from my experience!

I've worked hard in 2013 to develop healthy habits that I can maintain. I'm far from perfect. But perfection was never my goal. I want to live - eat pizza, candy, eat out...etc.

But... I don't want to be a slave to my poor body image.

So, with many many slip ups I have found balance & confidence. I'm proud of my hard work & comfortable in my own skin.

I wish that for every woman.

God designed us and made us in His perfect image. I'm done messing that up 

I hope you'll consider starting a journey like I did this coming new year. You will have to practice some self discipline - but the reward far outweighs the sacrifice!

Make a decision & get healthier! If I can help you with that - just message me! It's what I LOVE to do!

Caramelized sweet potatoes and red onion are the bed for chicken thighs that cook up fast in a very hot oven—perfect for a quick healthy chicken dinner. Serve with a fall salad of mixed greens, sliced apples and blue cheese.

INGREDIENTS:
2 tablespoons whole-grain or Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme or 2 teaspoons dried
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, divided
1 1/2-2 pounds bone-in chicken thighs, skin removed
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 large red onion, cut into 1-inch wedges


PREPARATION:
Position rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 450°F. Place a large rimmed baking sheet in the oven to preheat.
Combine mustard, thyme, 1 tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a small bowl; spread the mixture evenly on chicken.
Toss sweet potatoes and onion in a bowl with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and spread the vegetables on it. Place the chicken on top of the vegetables.
Return the pan to the oven and roast, stirring the vegetables once halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and beginning to brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into a chicken thigh registers 165°F, 30 to 35 minutes.

Oprah's Turkey Burger

Oprah’s Turkey Burger Oprah found a new favorite food when she tried this turkey burger at Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump’s private club in Palm Beach. “I believe [it] may be the best turkey burger in the entire world,” she says. The Mar-a-Lago Turkey Burger is permanently available at the Trump Bar and Grille in Trump Tower in New York City, open to the public for lunch and dinner. It is also be served during lunch in Chicago at Sixteen, the Trump International Hotel restaurant.
