Awesome December  + Finish Your Year Strong With These Four Tips December is here, which means we have a new month with new goals and opportunities ! Its time to start living our best life yet.  In order to change our lives for the better we  have to make some changes or improvements on what we are currently doing  and take a good look at our priorities.

Trader Joes Avocado Zucchini Bowl These bowls are so tasty and thanks to Trader Joes, extra easy to make!! Sometimes life with Brody can be difficult , especially around dinner time!! Getting the pre cut, almost ready foods are not my fav but I do love almost anything from TJ and these things are simple and clean. So I bought some guac, already zoodled zucchini and some already pealed & cubed sweet potatoes to make life easier.  The sweet potatoes come all peeled and cut, all you have to do is cook them. I like to heat them in the microwave for about 2-3 min then add them to a skillet to make them crispy. The zucchini is these bowls are not cooked! How easy is that!! And since the guac comes already made all you have to do is mix it with the zoodles.  What you need:  sweet potato zoodles garlic eggs Mix the zoodles, guacamole , garlic, slat & pepper . Add the cooked sweet potatoes and a fired egg! Garnish & enjoy!!!  ...

3 Day Refresh Recap Guess who did the 3 day refresh ?! Yep, ME! I have been slacking off when it comes to my nutrition so I thought it was the perfect time for a refresh. My plan is to stay on track when I'm done on Tuesday and that momentum will carry me through thanksgiving , christmas and new years! Wow this is a crazy busy time, plus my birthday and Brodys 1st birthday are in December. I have plenty of excuses to eat like crap... but I know I'm strong enough and my goals are enough to keep me on track!  I went food shopping to prepare for the refresh. I went live on Facebook showing everything i bought so make sure you go check that video out! Like I said in that video I will do a recap of all three days that will be posted here and on youtube. Remember this is not a juice cleanse, you get to EAT! I get to have fruits, veggies , healthy fats & protein.  I planned out my dinners, bought lots of fruits and veggies and bought some almond butter and avocados...
