Monday Monday

Today was pretty good. For breakfast I had a pear, full of fiber, and a skinny vanilla latte from Starbucks. After my caffeine kicked in, I started cleaning the house. We have had pretty busy weeks and weekends and I just haven't had time to do laundry and organize. Today was the day, I went crazy. I cleaned and did so much laundry. That was my exercise for today for sure. I ended my day with 8k steps, almost to my goal.. Hopefully tomorrow....

For lunch I decided to make pasta. I had protein pasta with chicken, fresh tomatoes, zucchini, squash, and mushrooms all made in avocado oil. It was so good! 




For dinner I made Crock Pot Chicken in Salsa. I diced tomatoes, serrano pepper, green onion, bell pepper, cilantro, juice of one lime, 2 boneless skinless chicken breast, salt, pepper, garlic, and cumin. 
Cook on high for 5 hours or on low for 8 hours. 



I put it on top mixed greens, added diced tomatoes, cheese, and avocado. It was so good and filling. 

For my sweet treat I had a cup of fresh cherries. Cherries have some amazing benefits, especially at night. They are filled with magnesium, vitamin A and C and surprise, they have melatonin. A healthy sleep schedule helps you lose weight also. 

Made it through Day 1. Lets see what tomorrow has in store. 
TIP* I try to plan my meals for the week so that I am not tempted with any fast food or fattening foods.

 And So It Begins... Another Monday where I say I am going to start my diet. Que the eye roll, again. There have been many of these days. I think sometimes I have made it more than a week and others I only make it to Wednesday. There was a time in my life I really committed myself and lost over 60 pounds.  I realized in order to do this I needed to do this and also be emotionally committed.  Here's my background.... First of all I am 40 yrs old, I work with a top worldwide Biotech company as a Clinical Trial Educator in women's health and have also worked in Oncology. I am also CEO of Get Pressed LLC. I make wellness juices, detox juices and packages, and meal prep as a side hustle. I LOVE to cook and garden. I live in Dallas, TX. I have no thyroid and also have Crohn's disease. I weigh over 200 pounds. I am a mom of a 23 yr old and a 2 yr old. How crazy is that?!? Well, let me tell you. I was a teen mom at the age of 17. Very scary but I had a lot of help with my daughter.
