Small Steps Everyday

via A House in the Hills

All those little, difficult, kickyourass steps are worth it. Over time, they add up to a lot of distance. And only you can take your steps so YOU OWN THEM. No one can take your steps away. Be proud of them. I'm proud of you. Today I am thankful for every woman who has written to me and trusted me with her story, her struggle and who has taken the time to encourage me too. I think we need each other.

I had a beautiful breakfast with my two close girlfriends this weekend and it was long overdue. We used to do breakfast regularly at "our place" but now I can't remember the last time we were all together in the morning. So, I'm thankful for those two women who give me strength and who appreciate me, flaws and all. I always say there's nothing better in the world than a little baby, but girlfriends are pretty high up there too.

I hope you have a great week! Take a small step today.

Asian Salmon

Like anyone, I get bored of eating the same meals all the time and look for ways to add flavor to meals, while still keeping them healthy. Right now, I'm hooked on this Asian Salmon dish that I've made several times now. If you try it, please let me know what you think. The recipe below is for one meal, so make more marinade if you're feeding your whole family. Read more »

Healthy Afternoon Snack -Yoplait Greek 100 Yogurt

Hi friends! I'm definitely back in the workout/eat healthy grind, training with my trainer 3 times a week and doing 30 minutes of cardio 4 times a week. It feels good to be back to it and I'm already noticing my jeans fitting better again, but being back on my meal plan where I eat every 3-4 hours is where I feel the most benefit. If you're like a lot of women, you might actually skip meals (and I'm guilty of that too!) but eating consistently throughout the day keeps my energy level constant and there's no energy dip mid-afternoon. If I'm in a pinch and can't eat a whole meal (or I'm just not hungry enough) around 3:00 p.m. (the time I'm typically heading out the door to pick up my son from school), I'll grab a Greek yogurt because it's delicious, low calorie, and full of protein. I was asked by Yoplait to try their Yoplait Greek 100 Yogurt , and since it's something I eat anyway, was happy to try their brand and flavors. I didn&

40-Day Fat Loss Challenge (Day 14 Update)

It's time to check in and update my progress for the 40-Day Fat Loss Challenge I entered at my gym. For my body fat percentage, I'll use my trainer's caliper measure since I won't have access to the machine until the 40 days is up. The machine measured about the same as my trainer anyway. My goal is to lose at least 1% body fat each week so that at the end of the 40 days (nearly 6 weeks), I'll have gone from 24% down to 17%. I'm on track for that now, but would love to get closer to 15%. PROGRESS Day 1: 24% body fat (112.4 pounds) Day 7: 22.4% body fat (110 pounds) Day 14: 21% body fat (109.4 pounds) (These numbers reflect what I weigh when I weigh-in at the gym mid-morning. My weight below I take first thing in the morning when I wake up, so it's slightly lower.) Below is a picture of where I'm at as of Day 13. I didn't take a good "Day 1" picture, so the "start" is from December, but it's a good representation o
